Family Sharing and the App Store
There are two weird things I'm noticing now that I've set up Family Sharing for my wife and myself.
1) Both of our iCloud Account pictures in the Settings App are the same. If I change my iCloud picture to myself, both our iCloud accounts (though they are set up with separate email addresses) change to the same picture. The same happens if my wife sets her iCloud account picture - it changes both our accounts' pictures.
2) When I go to the App Store, under Purchased I get two sections: My Purchases, and my wife's purchases, listed under her name. If my wife goes to the App Store and goes to Purchased, she gets the message "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than [my email address]." This is despite logging completely out of iCloud and the App Store on her phone, leaving Family Sharing, and rejoining everything using her Apple ID.
Has anyone else noticed strange or similar behavior?
I have fixed the first issue. Both our phones use my iCloud account for contacts (primary iCloud account on my phone, secondary iCloud account on my wife's phone), but apparently that now messes with how the phone identifies who you are. I have since enabled my wife's iCloud contacts and added one card for herself, using Settings > General > Siri to set that new card as her contact card. Now our iCloud accounts both show our respective pictures, but we can still share contacts.
However, even after turning off Family Sharing on my wife's iCloud account and re-adding her to my Family Sharing account, we still get the message on her phone in App Store > Purchases that "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than b***". There is a Learn More button, but this simply takes me to her phone's iCloud account where it clearly shows that her iCloud is set up in family sharing with my b*** email address. Under App Store > Purchases on my phone, I am able to view both my purchases and, supposedly, her purchases (currently empty).
No one else has seen this problem?

When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this (and won't let me download it again), but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3
Here is the solution that I received from the chat line.
When you update applications like Pages it usually keeps both versions on the computer. So what most likely happened is it didn’t put the new version on your dock. So to fix this, open a finder window. And go into applications which should be listed on the left. Scroll down and you will see Pages listed in here. And the icon should look different. You can drag that icon down onto your dock.Open that and you then can access your documents -
HT2534 how do i use itunes and the app store without any credit card or gift card?

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

How can I change the location back to it's original form so I can see whats trending in america and everything else. Please help.
Try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select the US.

Ok can anyone tell how I can get the apps that I paid for on iTunes and the app store using my I pad because I don't have a computer and when I try to redownload the apps it keeps asking me for my card number and when I give it my card info it says that it's an invalid number when I know that it's not
If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -
I have an iPad 1 that is currently showing software updated at version 5.1.1. Is it possible to update to iOS version 7 on this device? My goal is to get Garage Band on this device and the app store is telling me I need iOS version 7.
Hi,
If you really need to upgrade you can save a bit of money and get an older version than the ipad Air.
First, you can sell your ipad 1 to places like gazelle.com, cashforyourmac.com, sellyour mac.com, or many others out there. The sites I listed give you cash. At this point gazelle.com is giving $70.00 for any ipad 1 in 'good' condition. And cashforyourmac will give you $25.00 over what gazelle.com or sellyourmac.com offers you. Shipping is free.
Then, with that money, go the the Apple online certified refurbished store. As an example, a new 64gb Air costs $699.00. A refurbed 4th gen 64gb costs $529.00 and a 3rd gen 64gb costs $499.00. Personally, I'd skip the 3rd gen. So if you buy a 4th gen 64gb at $529.00 minus what you can get from a sale to above, you can get an ipad 4 64gb for just over $430.00, a savings of savings of about $270.00. (A new 32gb Air is $599.00, a 4th gen 32gb is $449.00, and a 3rd gen 32gb is not on the site right now.) Google it and check if you can get better offers anywhere else. But getting one from the Apple refurb store gives you an essentially new ipad and using the above sites, you're not locked in with a particular site which will give you a gift card and restrict you to their store/site.
Each Apple refurbished ipad (any version) comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, same return policy, and a full one year warranty with 90 days of phone support. Each comes in a white box like a new ipad with the wall charger and usb cable. The only difference is that it says in small print on the bottom of the box that it is Apple certified refurbished. Also, if you buy refurbs, be sure to check the store many times a day. They can come and go quickly, so when you see what you want, buy it right away. Shipping is free and pretty fast. (We bought two a year and a half ago and they have been great!)
Hope this helps. -
what can i do if i accidentally deleted my iPhoto from my macbook air and the App Store couldn't recognize that i have bought it before and required me to buy it again ... should i buy it again or what ? i can't manage my photos now ...
Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

Please help as I really don't know anything about this.
No, this is NOT true at all.
You are able to use the Youtube, iTunes, and the App Store as soon as you want without activating these Apps.
You will need an internet connection to use these Apps though.
*Facetime will NOT work in UAE by law.
Facetime DOES need to be Activated.
