Child's ipod not showing family members in family sharing

My son (age 9) just got an iPod touch. I set him up with an Apple ID as a child. And I set up family sharing so he can access my apps and music. He shows up under family sharing in iCloud for me and i can see his purchases, but when i go under purchases on his iPod, I don't show up. In fact, nothing does, not even his own purchases. Any thoughts on why this might be? I've tried logging in and out of the app store, itunes and icloud. I've also tried reseting the ipod.

  • IPod not showing up on computer or in iTunes

    My iPod mini (It's the older version of iPod mini in the darker colors) recently stopped showing up on my iMac and iTunes. It charges, but since it doesn't show up, I can't add music or anything.
    I already looked at the support page Apple has for this problem and I tried everything and nothing helped me. The only thing I didn't try was resetting my iPod, which I don't think will work because not only does my iPod not show up, but neither does my sister's and my mom's.
    My sister has the same model of iPod mini as mine, and my mom has the slightly newer mini (with the brighter colors).
    Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this problem? I gave up on it for awhile, but now I really need it resolved. Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
    If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.

  • Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it

    Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it but it dosent show up under devices so i cant sync any music!!the screen on the ipod would usually say "connecting"or"do not disconnect"but it dosent say that anymore!!Ive been trying to fix it for DAYS but i cant find a good enough solution.PLZ HELP!!(p.s. i have a 4th generation nano)

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.

  • 7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore

    7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore. Tried all the apple troubleshooting. Help?

    I have tried all the 'Rs' that Apple recommend. As said, I can't hook up the iPod to my computer. I have tried to reset the iPod manually (holding the select and menu button) - but this doesn't work.
    If there is another (manual) way to restore the iPod, I would love to hear about it.
    As said: as for restoring the iPod - I can't get any contact with my iPod with my computer at all.

  • 3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up..

    3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up, itunes says to restore, however I am pretty certain this erases all contents. Is there anyway to retrieve the seemingly lost content, what do I do? I have had little to no prior issues with this product and have not recently updated my itunes. Please help!

  • Updated iTunes and iPod software  iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes

    Updated software since computer said there were updates.  Now I'm having trouble with iPod not showing up under devices.  Have gone through all the steps under troubleshooting.  Nothing helped.  Had this same problem periodically in the past, as well.  Itunes also says I have an app I reinstalled today due to it not working properly, and it won't synch with iPod.  (earlier today, iPod was showing up and synching properly, but this app wasn't getting downloaded to the iPod.  Just shows up in iTunes.  HAve tried restarting computer, iTunes and iPod, but no luck.

    Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up.  I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.

    Hello Bhagyeshree
    Check out the articles below to troubleshoot issues with connecting to Wi-Fi. Start with creating a new Network Location and then search for a Wi-Fi network and if that does not work, then go through second article to troubleshoot the issue further.

  • HT5085 Movie not showing to other iCloud family members

  • IPod not showing up at all on Mac but works fine on Windows?

    I've been searching for an answer on these discussion boards for hours and have not yet found any situation that was quite like mine and I'm getting a bit frazzled and worried.
    I have a 120GB iPod classic, which I've used for two years with an ACER laptop and it works perfectly. Two months ago, I switched to a Macbook Pro and synced my iPod with it; again everything worked fine. My iPod was synced with the Mac and all the new music had been transferred.
    Today, I've been trying to connect my iPod to my Mac but nothing happens. It only charges (and I can't even be sure that it IS charging because the charging green sign does not show up on the iPod). It does not show up in Finder, or in the iTunes source list; it does not sync. I've reset it a billion times, restarted my mac, switched USB cords and USB ports, even downloaded and installed every software update imaginable but nothing is working.
    If I leave the iPod connected to the Mac for a while, something even more alarming happens. It connects for around 3 seconds, and then ejects itself repeatedly. It's like watching someone go insane.
    Naturally, I freaked out and tried to connect the iPod to a PC and it is working perfectly on the PC. Please, someone help. I have no idea what's going on.

    Did you download and install the latest version of ITunes over the existing installation?

    What if you connect the iPod in Disk Mode?

    If the iPod is recognized okay on the PC, try restoring it there and then reconnecting it to your own laptop.

  • HT6389 How do family members in Family Sharing download a Not Shareable App for their own account?

    I have downloaded an app (Uber) in the past, but my wife has not.  I set up Family Sharing with my wife.  Uber is set as a Not Shareable app, and the problem is that my wife can't download the app even when she goes to it in the app store.  It shows the iCloud icon as if she already downloaded it, even though she hasn't, and she gets an error when trying to download it.  Turning off Family Sharing also did not solve the problem (although I did not wait that long, and maybe I need to wait longer after disabling family sharing).  But there should be a better way for her to get the app than switching off family sharing.
    On a separate note, I am trying to post this question here:  
    HT6389: Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
    Learn about Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
    but the forum doesn't seem to let me do that.

    Thanks for the responses.  I actually ended up turning off Family Sharing because I found this to be really annoying, and for other reasons.  I was able to download Uber for my wife from iTunes on her PC laptop with Automatic App Downloads turned on on her iPhone.
    The other problem I'm having, and the reason I switched off Family Sharing, is with store credit.  I have a lot of gift card credit on my account, but when my family makes purchases, the gift card credit is not deducted first before charging my card.  Not sure if there is a way to change that but I couldn't figure it out.

  • My daughter's iPod not showing up in my devices.

    Just started using the new updated iTunes.  Wanted to remove my daughters iPod and move it to her own account on her own computer, but I can't find her iPod in my devices.  I clicked on my account and went to manage devices, it tells me I have 5 devices associated with my account, but her iPod is not listed, nor is my other daughters iPod.  iTunes knows the iPod is there because I was able to update it, it even knew it was "katie". 
    How do I proceed? How can I remove her iPod from my account?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The an iPod appears under Devices in the sidebar.
