Do Family Share purchase receipts show who initiated the purchase?p

IF I am the family organizer, do the receipts for purchases made by others indicate who made those purchases?

I spent last night testing out a few things and seem to have everything up and running correctly.  Here's how I have set up family sharing.
1) Parent has Owner account with credit card info.  Uses "original" AppStore account (Apple ID) for purchases - call this account "A"
2) Invite kids to join family from Account A - Make sure to turn on Ask to Buy.
3) Kids Accept from their iDevices the invite while logged in to their Apple ID account - call these Accounts "B" and "C"
4) When kids accept and set up their AppStore ID on their device and follow the setup they use their Apple ID ("B" and "C") not the Owner account "A"
5) Test with a purchase from the kids device. This purchase can be a free item. 
6) A pop up notification will show stating that permission must be granted
7) Owner iDevice receives notification and can now accept or decline the purchase.  This notification shows up in the Notification section iDevice. 
Where I went wrong originally is that I had the kids family share AppStore ID as the Owner account A apple Id although they accepted and where logged in with their Apple ID B and C.  Why did I have it this way - I have always purchased everything from the Owner ID for all of our devices and kept my contacts, mail, messages etc. separate by using a second Apple ID for the Owner's private items. 
Hope this helps to fix your issues.

  • Family share purchase approval not working

    We've set up family sharing across 4 iOS devices.  two parents, two children, we've enabled "ask to buy" on the child accounts (ages 13 and 14).  All devices are running the latest version of iOS.  We've set up a credit card for the family organizer.
    When one of the children tries to buy something in iTunes or in the App store, they get a message that says that they need to verify their payment info.  If they click on "verify" they get asked to provide a method of payment.  They cannot make purchases using the family organizer's credit card.  I entered the credit card info, and now they are able to make purchases without any approval.
    I went into settings on the child phone, pulled up iCloud, and it shows that the organizer's credit card is associated with this family group.
    What am I doing wrong?  How do I allow the child accounts to use the family share credit card?

    I believe the credit would have to be on his iTunes store account, not yours, in order to be applied to his purchases before any balance due is charged to the organizer's credit card.  Your purchases would be charged to your credit first.

  • How do I get off a family share plan if I'm not the account owner?

    how do I get off a family share plan if i'm not the account owner?

        kydd33  Good question!  If you are looking to be removed from the family share plan, then the account owner would need to give you  (or the person looking to take over your line ) permission. This is known as an Assumption of Liability (AOL). I am assuming that you want to keep your Verizon phone number and are looking to remain a Verizon Wireless customer. If so, the age requirement is atleast 18. Also, the current account has to have a current balance. If another VZW customer is taking your line over then their account would need to have a current balance, as well.  To proceed, have the account owner call customer service and authorize that you can remove your line from their account. There is not a penalty or fee for the account owner.

  • Family Share invitations it takes me to the iCloud sign in page, not the invitations tab.

    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...

  • Family share purchase approval

    Son "A" wants to get an app.  I get the "approve or decline" message and when I approve I'm asked to enter son "B" iCloud password.  Both of my sons are under 13.  Why in the world would it be asking me this?? 

    Open iTunes.
    Click iTunes Store.
    Near the top right of the iTunes window, click your Apple ID and select "Family Purchases" from the drop-down menu.
    To see the purchases from other family members, click the Apple ID drop down that appears next to "Purchased" section of the window (top left area), and select each member you who's purchases you wish to see.
    This drop down menu mentioned in step 4 has multiple search options for purchases, including films, apps, and music.  If you compare this list with your email receipts you will be able to see who purchased what.  On the Apple website it does back this up with...
    "If you use Family Sharing, you won't see all family member purchases in one purchase history. The family organizer can check email receipts for purchases initiated by other family members"

  • If i invite my child who is 24 to Family Share do they have to use the credit card I set up or will they have the option to use their own?

    I want to set up Family Share, but I want my kids who are over 18 to have the ability to use their own credit cards when purchasing an app or something from iTunes.  Is that possible or do they have to always use the card I have on file?

    All purchases have to be charged to the organizer's card.  The only way to avoid this would be for him to purchase and redeem iTunes store gift cards to create a credit on his iTunes store account.  Then his purchases would first be deducted from his credit before any remaining balance would be charged to the organizer's card.

  • Family share purchase not applied toward itunes gift card credit

    I'm using the icloud family share program for my family.  My son has purchased some songs on itunes but my credit card is being billed instead of the credit balance I have on my shared itunes account.  Has anyone else had this same problem and how did you resolve it?

    I believe the credit would have to be on his iTunes store account, not yours, in order to be applied to his purchases before any balance due is charged to the organizer's credit card.  Your purchases would be charged to your credit first.

  • ITunes credit not used when making family share purchase

    The stated purchase rules from the Apple website are:
    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you.
    It clearly states that store credit will be used first.   When my daughter made a song purchase on 20 Nov 2014, my credit card was charged despite my daughters $50+ dollar credit balance in iTunes. 
    Any thoughts?  

    I believe the credit would have to be on his iTunes store account, not yours, in order to be applied to his purchases before any balance due is charged to the organizer's credit card.  Your purchases would be charged to your credit first.

  • How do you use family share when we all currently use the same Apple ID but different iCloud accounts?

    our family is currently using all the same Apple ID so we don't have to purchase thing twice, but now I want to set up the family share. Do we all have to have our own Apple ID to set up the family share? We do all have separate iCloud's accounts, I'm not sure if that even makes a difference.

    Hello me1002,
    That is a good question. Everyone will need their own Apple ID that is signed into iCloud and iTunes. When setting this up, someone will need to be the Organizer so whom ever it is will champion this. Then everyone else will need to sign in to each respective accounts and then the organizer will need to send out invites to join Family Sharing. If you get that all setup, remember that when making purchases from those Apple ID will belong to that specific Apple ID so if anyone leaves, others will not have access to that purchased content.

  • Can my family share purchased music from iTunes

    We all have our own accounts with iTunes but it seems stupid that have to buy the songs 4 or 5 times.
    If I was to go out and buy a CD and import it, we could all use it.
    Is there a way that I can buy music from iTunes and my family can use it? Or the other way round?

    Sure.  Put all of the music on overyones computer and authorize all of the computers for all of the accounts.

  • Family share purchase request

    When my daughter goes to the App Store and requests a purchase the alert comes to my iPad. How can I get it to also come to my phone?

    I am having exactly this problem too. I approved 7 requests for songs as normal, and then for the next ones, every time I pressed "details" the box just disappeared. They are still in my notifications centre, but I cannot approve them. Please help!

  • How does a family share an iTunes account without sharing the master password?

    Is there any way to avoid having to give my password to my daughter? I have had the same AppleID for many years, and it also my email address, so I would prefer not to share the password with all of my family. As far as I can tell, I can not change my AppleID associated with my iTunes account.
    I do want my daughter to be able to download apps or updates to existing apps even when she is not with me, but that doesn't seem possible without sharing passwords.
    It would be great if iTunes allowed "sub-accounts." Perhaps someday.

    I do want my daughter to be able to download apps or updates to existing apps even when she is not with me, but that doesn't seem possible without sharing passwords.
    That is indeed not possible. She'll either need to re-acquire all those apps through her own iTunes Store account, you'll have to give her the password to your account, or you'll have to do all the updating for her.
    Regards.
