Family Share - Kids still have to login when picking app??

I'm in the process of changing the iPads for my children by enabling the Family Sharing option. I've successfully setup two icloud accounts for them, and associated their appstore/itunes account with the new iCloud account. They both show up under our list of Family members as children with Ask to Buy turned on. How come when browsing the appstore to select an app on the kid's iPad, it still prompts them for their password to their iCloud account? I would have assumed this would have immediately prompted the parent/organizer for their approval without the child being forced to put in the password? This doesn't make sense to me?

I see what you mean. The Family Sharing documentation emphasizes that they should choose a password and security questions that they can remember but at the same time you are encouraged to use a strong password and 2-step verification for your iCloud account. You might want to share your feedback on this here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html. As I mentioned, I assume this is to ensure that when the ask to buy request comes to you that you know it was really from them and not just someone who found/stole their device.

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

It is strange. I thought 10.x might be the more recent but it also locked up when I tried to the web export. I ran into the no autoplay issue with the webpage so I'll need to look elsewhere to replace a Flash gallery... oh well. Looks like there are probably JS option that might work.
Thanks.

I have an error when installing apps on my mac from the apple store. It says "return to the purchase page and try again"... I think it is something to do with the installation process itself. I have tried to clear apple store cache, restarted apple store from debug menu, double checked my apple id account and etc..but doesn't work anyway.

I'm having the same problem and went as far as to delete and reinstall the AppStore and still no dice.

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 off, still asking for permission

Hi--
My daughter got a new iPad and we tried out Family Sharing. I enabled restrictions that forced her to ask before downloading apps. I then decided I didn't like Family Share and turned it off--I "left" FS from her iPad and also disabled FS from my (the organizer) account. I then put my iTunes account on her iPad.
Now, when I try to download an app for her, it says that "You can't ask permission because your Apple ID and your iTunes ID are not linked" or something to that effect. I tried turning of restrictions, restarting the iPad, etc, but I can't download anything. It seems like there's still some FS info lurking, but I can't find where to get rid of it.
Before I restore the iPad, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have exactly the same problem.
First trial to add a family member seemed to work until i unchecked the "locate me" options for my wife's account i was trying to add.
Then my iMac prompted asking me for the appleID/iCloudID password (which are the same). Since, it asks it again and again.
It must be a bug in Yosemite code and i hope it would be fixed soon.
Unless anyone has a proposal to solve it ?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien
iMac (24-inch, Early 2009)
Yosemite 10.10.1

I have unchecked clear active logins and everything to do with removing passwords and I still have to login to websites. How do I get this to keep me logged in on a few sites?

With Yahoo and Facebook, they have a box you can check to keep you logged in, but every time I close out my browser it is erased and I have to login all over again. I unchecked everything that has to do with erasing saved passwords, and active login information but it is still doing it. How do I get the browser to keep me logged in on the different websites that I would like it to remember?

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.<br />
In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.

Why do I still have Pro 8 when I've upgraded to Pro 9?

Upgraded to Pro 9. Still showing Pro 8 in Applications folder. This is normal? Also, Pro 9 looks identical to pro 8. Zero difference in appearance. Again, normal? Pretty weak upgrade IMHO. Thanks

Suppose you are working collaboratively with someone that only has Logic 8. If they send you a Logic 8 file to work on and you open it in Logic 9 and save your version and send it back, they won't be able to open the file you sent. If you still have the option of working in Logic 8 that would solve that problem.
This has been the standard for a while now so that it's not so odd that it would leave the older version on your system. When you installed the upgrade from Logic 8, Logic 7 was left on your system.

I have to login when starting my Mac

Everytime when I start my computer I have to login with my password. Never had that before.
How can I change that?
Regards

Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate with your admin password. Click on the Login Options button below the users list. At the top enable Automatic Login. You will need to select the user and then provide the password for that user.

Fully Licensed CC package asking for CC login when launching apps

We are a tertiary educational institute with an Adobe CC for Enterprise license.
In our Macintosh environment I am able to download and package a licensed suite of CC applications using the Creative Cloud Packager.
I then add this package to our deployment/imaging software (JAMF Software's Casper Suite).
When I then deploy that package I sometimes will have applications asking for Adobe ID login when they are launched. I have also had instances of successfully deployed applications asking for Adobe ID login weeks after being used successfully. I am able to deploy the same package successfully to different machines that are spec'd the same.
I have even had the instance where I imaged a machine and the applications asked for Adobe ID login, so I then re-imaged the machine with the exact same image and the 2nd time the applications launched successfully.
To my mind, this indicates the licensing being 'broken' in some way. I might add that this also occurs within our Windows environment using SCCM to deploy the package.
Is anybody able to point me in the right direction as to where I should be looking (within the Mac system) for the particular license file that may or may not be getting corrupted/blocked? I have had a look at the APTEE tool, but have not had any success with using it to repair the license.

Hi AlanSmithCPIT,
Please refer the article: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/provisioning-toolkit-enterprise.html.
How to get APTEE:
1. Download and install Creative cloud packager.
2. Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDapp/CCP/Utilities/APTEE/adobe_prtk.

Ok so I am trying to login to my YouTube account on the app on my iPad, but when I do it tells me I must sign in on the website first, so I do but I still can't login on the app. I have tried multiple times but no luck. What might the problem be??

I need help!!

What happens when you click the "Download" button for Mountain Lion? Do you get any response (error messages, etc.) from the Mac App Store?

HT201342 I still have the question, "When would I use this new iCloud e-mail account?"

What do I do with this new iCloud e-mail address? What is it for? How does it benefit me? When would I choose to use this new iCloud e-mail address?

Whenever you want to use it, or not, it's your choice.

If I Format my iPhone will it still have my number when I try to set it up again?

I really just want to start over from the top. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Restoring a device or erasing all content and settings will not effect your carrier service. Restoring a device as new will actually update your carrier settings (if they need updating, like in the case of a device unlock).
You will lose all contacts, pictures, and pretty much all non-purchased (and some purchased) content unless you back it up though.
You can always redownload previous purchases from the iTunes Store and the App Store on your device.

Why do we still have no pro-grade email app for the mac platform?

This is a combination of a question and a rant, I suppose. When I first came to the Mac platform back in 2003, I looked to see what the best email clients were and was surprised to find nothing that I thought was really strong. I started with Mail, hated it, switched to Entourage, and then since that time I've used or demoed about everything I can find. Powermail, Eudora, Mailsmith in years past, and more recently Postbox and Sparrow. I find all of them sorely lacking and it just keeps begging the question in my mind: why hasn't anyone yet created a truly professional-grade email application? I honestly think there's a huge market for it, and I think a lot of people would be willing to spend $30-50 for an app that got it right.
Right now, I use Mail with the add-ons MailTags and Mail Act-On, and I've got my workflows and practices down to a pretty tight level. I am an adherent of inbox zero concepts/GTD and I practice them. Like many of you I get a lot of email, probably 200-300 per day. There is no application I use on my computer more intensively than email, and yet it's the one app that is probably the most lacking from a development standpoint.
here are some of the things I'd love to see:
- support for IMAP, POP3 and Exchange
- an attractive, Mac-like user interface. Could Mail get any uglier? Why yes, yes it could, we now have Mail in Lion! Holy crap, were they incentivized to make it as dull and unattractive an app as they possibly could? If so, that team must be getting huge bonuses this christmastime.
- industry compliant tagging
- robust search functionality. Let me do quick spotlight-based searches, or give me a search dialogue box where I can construct more complex queries.
- robust smart folder functionality. Mail does ok here, but it could be a lot better.
- global rules (which Mail has but an app like Postbox doesn't), and then the ability to either have the rules applied automatically to all messages, or to fire a rule "on-demand" with respect to a single selected email (in other words, build in Mail Act-On functionality)
- integration with social media. Postbox does a nice job with this. Hit their info pane button and you see a nice summary of all the links and possible social media interactions available via that selected email
- integration with cloud-based file storage, and apps like Evernote, DevonThink, Omnifocus, etc
- an intuitive, flexible layout that allows me to see my accounts and folder structures the way I want to see them, not the way the app forces me to lay them out. Mail does a much better job of this than Postbox, for example.
- integration with industry-standard archival practices. For example, integrate with MailSteward.
Mail is honestly not that far away, but they've been "not that far away" for the last 8 years I've been using a Mac. I keep thinking SOMEBODY has to get this right and step up to fill this need, and nobody does. What I'd really love to see is the OmniGroup (the guys that make fine apps like Omnifocus, Omnigraffle, Omnioutliner, etc...) step up and make "OmniMail". Give me an interface and a user experience I look forward to using, not one I use in spite of the interface. Give me a simple, efficient structure with depth and power under the hood that I can customize and tailor to my workflows.
if any developers read this, I am begging you: create this product. I've read every email app review I can find, visited a ton of blogs, user forums, etc..., and I think there is a huge demand for this kind of an app. If I did such coding, I would take the project on myself, but I'm just a user, not a developer.
Hope it happens someday. From my perspective, it's sorely needed.

I agree completely; email applications on the Mac lag (and I agree with the OP's frustration with responses as well).
I also have settled on Mail with Mail ActOn and MailTags; this functionality should be incorporated into the OS. I actually like using Outlook in Win 7 better; it's super easy to connect files, contacts, email and other stuff right from one application. And Win 7 has better preview and tagging built in, better than QuickLook. On the server side we desparately need gmail to use tags, but I don't see that happening. I still prefer the labeling scheme it has over Apple's mail, however. But I also find that it confuses many users (labels vs folders).
There are also other applications that integrate email functionality, like SOHO Organizer, or Contactizer. Good, but not the email holy grail.
I'd like to see communications built into the Finder or system, which badly needs an overhaul. It hasn't changed much since the 90's and shows it. Communication, whether it be email, tweets, social media posts, sharing, etc, is such an integral function of all work you do on a computer it should be better, um, integrated into all applications. You should be able to send data from any application to others in a variety of formats without having to go into an email application. Sure, you can now do this to a certain extent with either built-in menu items or services, but it's clunky. For example, when you write something you can either "save" and write to disk somewhere, or "export" in a different format, or maybe "email." All of those choices should at least be part of one dialog; it's just as likely you want to email, post, share or tweet what you just wrote, so just having a "save" dialog is way outmoded.
So, yeah, somebody get on this.

Do the shell script have to login into Oracle Apps

I am calling the Document Processor Java API from a shell script. The problem I have that its unable to find the
xdo://PO.POXPRPOLXMLRTF.en.US/?getSource=true
file within the control file.
Is this because somewhere a shell variable needs to be set, or a login need to be made into the Oracle Apps, so this template stored in XML Publisher is accessible.
Please advise!

Another things you can do is
begin
tmp_res := apps.fnd_web_sec.CHANGE_PASSWORD('TESTUSER','changeme',false);
update fnd_user set password_date = null where user_name = 'TESTUSER'';
end;
Once you do this, when the TESTUSER logs in with the password=changeme, he/she will be redirected to the change password page.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi
