Changing itunes ID for Family Sharing

I set my family sharing up for my 3 kids on the wrong itunes account. I tried to change the itunes sharing to the right account under the icloud family sharing on my iphone 6 but I am getting a message that i must wait 90 days prior to changing the account. How do i change it now?

Purchases with iTunes cards for family sharing.

I would like to set up family sharing, but was just wondering whether purchases would still be charged to my account even if some members already have iTunes cards loaded on theirs? In my head, it'd make sense for the purchase to be taken from their credit if it's available. And once they ran out, if they topped it up, would they still be able to use their own credit? Or does everyone share it?

I don't have the icon in my iTunes window for family sharing.

I recently set up Family sharing on my iTunes account. I added my wife to my account. On her iTunes window there is an icon that can be used to select which library to view. That icon does not show up in my iTunes window.

From iTunes' help (assuming you are running iTunes 12):

Hi muchjk,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
No, the family organizer cannot use a PayPal account for the payment method. The article below provides more information about Family Sharing and supported forms of payment with the iTunes Store.

If I register as the "organiser" for family sharing will I be asked to pay for in app purchases by other members e.g. Candy crush etc?

if i register as the "organiser" for family sharing will I be liable for all in app purchases by other family members e.g candy crush etc?

Yes. Or at least the payment method you choose will be.

How do you find a notification for Ask to Buy for Family Sharing once it is off your screen and not in drop down Notification Center?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't believe you can.

When I try to access my music library from AppleTV is keeps telling me to turn on ITunes Match. I am not supposed to need iTunes Match for Home Sharing. I tripled checked to ensure Home Sharing is turned on and it is. Can anyone offer a solution?

All of your computers content are available in the AppleTV section called "Computer". This is where you will find your music.
The Music section of the AppleTV is only for those who subscribed to iTunes Match.

I want to setup my 9 year old for family sharing and seperate iTunes account but do not have credit cards

I am unable to setup a new iTunes account / family sharing for my 9 year old as I do not have credit cards, it seems that it is only possible to do so with a credit card, however I feel it is unfair that I would need to apply for a credit card just so that my child can be safe online

Or if you haven't created the account yet then there are instructions on this page for how to create one without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/message/24321860#24321860)

Can iTunes credit be used instead of credit card for Family Sharing Organizer?

I'm aware that a member in a Family Sharing group uses their iTunes credit (gift cards) before the Organizer's credit card is charged.
But what happens if the Organizer has iTunes credit? Will the members' purchases get deducted from that credit prior to the credit card?
Haven't found any real info on this yet :/
side question: if all of the members have iCloud Drive monthly fees, will that also get deducted from the Organizer's account? (either by credit card or iTunes credit)

Sad but true, I've tried to pay for iTunes Match with my credit and couldn't because it's a subscription service, regardless the credit amount I have. The system ask me to pay with my credit card too.
How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card.
How iTunes Store purchases are billed

HT201088 It says not a valid contact for family sharing any one know why or how to change this?

I'm Trying to set up family sharing but it says invalid contact does anyone know why? Thanks

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Authorize a Computer for Family Sharing - Is It Possible?

For the past seven years or so my family and I have been using the same AppleID for all of our purchases, and all of our computers are authorized with Home Sharing to one account. With the creation of the Family Sharing option - and issues we've been having with all of us using the same iCloud/AppleID - we're wanting to set it up, but my concern is with the content we've already downloaded. When I change the AppleID on my phone to my new one and then add myself to the Family Sharing Account, will I have to redownload all the music and apps I've already downloaded to my phone? Will I have to deauthorize my computer from the iTunes account that has all of the purchased content on it, and reauthorize it with my new account in order to get my content to sync to my phone? If I reauthorize my computer to an AppleID on the Family Sharing account, will all of the content available within the Family Sharing account be made available on my computer? I haven't been able to find the answer to any of these questions in the information archives Apple has posted. Has anyone done what I'm asking about and can let me know what happens?
For reference, I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 8, and an HP Notebook running Windows 8.1 and the latest version of iTunes.

At this point, this only works through Notifications on the Mac and iPad:
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Maybe using the Notification Center on your Mac is a good alternative for using e-mail.

Stupid question re iTunes match and family sharing

So, here is my dilemma...we have a large family and a ton of os devices--iphones, iPads, apple tv's, iMacs, MacBooks, etc. Up until now, we have set everyone up on the same apple id, which has been crazy--my and my wife's phone ringing with the kids' FaceTime calls, me not being able to sign into iTunes match because there were too many devices associated with our account, and so on. Now, wit the upgrade to iOS 8, my wife's phone is ringing when I receive calls and vice versa. So, I was looking into the family sharing, but am not sure how that affects iTunes match. I want to keep my iTunes match, because I have a huge music library and enjoy being able to listen to my music anywhere. I guess my questions is, what is the best way to set up my accounts now? Keep my apple id for my iOS devices, and set everyone else up as a "family member" under sharing with them having their own apple id's? If so, what does that do to my iTunes match library? can I keep iTunes match and still have family sharing on? I don't care if I can share my music library with everyone in my family, but what I do care about is that I don't want to lose my access to iTunes match and my entire library, some of which consists of songs downloaded 7 years ago. I know it's a stupid question, but as much as I've read and searched, I still haven't found the answer to my question. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds very bad... you can try this, create a account for each member of the family, delete all products (leave all your devices as new) and put the accounts in the devices again, for example, this iPad is from the kid, put the Apple ID of the kid in her iPad, after, this iPhone is from your wife, put the Apple ID from your wife in her iPhone. But remember, the purchases save in the Apple IDs when the family use before, for change the purchases contact with Apple.

Debit Card for Family Sharing

Can I set up family sharing without a credit card? I'm trying to create an ID for & add my son to set up our family sharing, but it says I have to have a credit card, not just debit. Is there a work around for this?... we don't have any credit cards.
Thanks!

Hello ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The organizer's Apple ID account does require a valid payment source, which includes both credit cards and debit cards.
Setting up Family Sharing
When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards. You can change the billing method on file in your account at any time in your iTunes & App Store account settings.
