Family sharing changing the organizer

My father was the original family sharing organizer but I need to be b/c I need to mange her buying of apps and music. I was unable to add him as a family member after he opted out of that role. I was told by apple that there is a 6 month window for him to rejoin the family should he choose to opt out. However b/c he had never been a member the support again had me log out of iCloud and then log back in and I was able to add my father. The support agent was wonderful. The case number was: 676523535

Hi Mike,
I have no idea about family sharing, but I would recommend to think twice before actually changing the country for your account if you bought (many) movies and tv shows with it. Why? Because if you purchased many movies/tv shows and change the country, Apple will compare your purchases from the US with the media available in the German iTunes Store (mostly on with German sound track) and if something isn't available you will lose the iCloud re-download option for previous purchases. Furthermore some apps/services (e.g. Beats Music, Facebook Paper) are not available in Germany.
With kind regards,
David

How do I change the organizer of a Family Sharing account

My husband is the organize of our Family Sharing iCloud account, and since he travels a lot, it makes it difficult for him to approve app downloads for our kids. I'd lIke to change the organizer to my account so we can avoid this, but I can't figure out how to do that and wasn't able to find anything on Apple's support site. Has anyone done this is and can give me some direction?
TIA

Here's what iTunes Podcaster help says:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
Troubleshooting Your Feed
iTunes should update your listing at least once every 24 hours. If you made changes more than 24 hours ago that are not yet reflected in your iTunes listing, there is a good chance that your feed has broken. When iTunes encounters a broken feed, it ignores the feed and continues to display the old data.
Here is a set of recommended steps to fix your feed:
Ping your feed to make sure iTunes has attempted to update your feed recently.
Review the technical spec, particularly the example feed, to ensure that every detail of your podcast’s feed is supported by iTunes.
Use a feed validation service like www.feedvalidator.org to check for particular problems. This may be helpful in determining a specific problem with syntax.
If you used a software- or online-based feed creation service, check to ensure your settings there are correct and iTunes-compliant.
Subscribe to the feed in iTunes to see if it works. Open iTunes, go to the Advanced menu, choose "Subscribe to podcast..." and enter your feed’s URL.
Hope this helps - Podcaster's discussion board might have more answers:

Family Sharing on the Apple TV 3

I Have multiple apple products, of which are some apple tv's. until a few days ago all the devices were using the same Apple ID which was mine. We recently decided to use separate Apple id's for our family members, and using family sharing among the devices.
The problem/concern I have since enabaling family sharing is that my iTunes movie purchases on the Apple TV no longer has an "all movies" option, and instead has a "shared movies" option right below the "recent purchases".
my first question is, what is what happened to the "all movies" category? I found this option very helpful and useful. Sure all my iTunes movie purchases are still categorized by genre. I liked how the "all movies" showed how many movies I have purchased, and I kinda enjoyed looking through all the movies to find one to watch.
My second question is, how can I get that option back whilee still using family sharing?

AppleTV 2 and 3's main icon Music section is a shambles.
There should be a Music store as there was on AppleTV1. Crazy you can't access Purchases unless subscribed to itunes Match.
As Winston says you are probably not looking in the correct place for local streaming of your music library.

I set up Family sharing but the invite email never arrives at one of the accounts. Any suggestions? Yes, the account is receiving other emails.

Hi,
I'm trying to setup Family sharing but the invite email doesn't arrive at the destination account.
The account receives other emails and i've checked the Spam filter and virus checker.
The source/host computer is an iMac running Yosemite. I can happily email from the iMac to the MacbookAir.
Any suggestions or workarounds?

Hi there _Man,
I understand that you are having an issue with some of your Family Sharing members not receiving the email in order to join your Family Sharing group. You should first try to resend the invitation to this person, using the information in the article below:
See if your family member accepted the invitation
After you send the invitation, you can check its status under the person's name in Settings > iCloud > Family on your iOS device. On your Mac, go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click iCloud, and select Manage Family. Then select that person's name to see the status of the invitation.
If you need to resend the invitation, select "Resend Invitation."
Join a family group
You can accept or decline an invitation to join a family from you iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
In iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud > Invitations.
In OS X Yosemite, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family.
If the invitation is sent to your email address, you can also respond right from your email.
To accept an invitation, follow the onscreen instructions. Here's what you'll be asked to do when you join:
Confirm your Apple ID and password.
Choose if you want to share your content and which iTunes Store account you want to share from.
Choose if you want to share your location. If you agree, your location can be displayed on family members’ devices in Find My Friends and Messages, and the location of your shared devices will also appear on family members’ devices in Find My iPhone.
If you can't accept the invitation, see if someone else joined a family with your Apple ID or is sharing purchased content from your Apple ID. Remember, you can only join one family at a time, and you can only switch to a different family group once per year.

Family Sharing not showing Organizer's Purchases for other family members

I have enabled Family Sharing on my device as the Organizer and added my wife's Apple ID to my list of family members. She has accepted the invitation on her end and we both see each other in the Family Sharing list within Settings->iCloud->Family Sharing. If I go to the App Store (remember, I'm the organizer), and I choose Updates->Purchased->Family Purchases (choosing my wife's Apple ID) I can see all the apps she's purchased. It won't work the other way around, though. If she goes to the App Store and tries to view my purchases, she gets a blank screen.
I have already checked to see if I'm hiding purchases, I'm not. In Settings->iCloud->Family Sharing->Me, I have Share My Purchases enabled. I've signed in and out of iCloud, and she's done the same. I've confirmed my Apple ID, and she's done the same. We can't figure it out. Why in the world is she a part of the Family Sharing group, but we can't get it so she can view my purchased apps?

I have the same issue. I can see my wife's purchases but on her phone, it says that I have no purchases. I also tried If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support and disabling family sharing and re-inviting her. I would also like to know how to fix this.

Can I set up family sharing for the calendar without paying for everyone's purchases?

I would like to set up family sharing so we can share a calendar, see each other's location, etc. but I don't want to pay for everyone's purchases. Can we set up family sharing without that feature?

When you added the card, did it take a number of goes to get it accepted ? Each time that you add or change your credit card details on your account a small temporary store holding charge (i.e. $1) may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - your card issuer should remove it from your card within a few days or so.

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?

Family sharing: changing country looses shared family calender

i am a big fan of family sharing. Not only for sharing purchases. I use the shared family calender a lot.
WE moved to Germany, and I would very much like to change the country. but the only way I know how is to:
leave the family
change country
recreate family
But this means that a complete new calender will be created, thus loosing the old one.
yes, I know, the old one will be maintained as a local calender, but I want to maintain it as the shared one for my family.
ANy tips on how to change country in my family without loosing my calender?
@Apple: why don't you allow changing country without leaving the family?

Hi Mike,
I have no idea about family sharing, but I would recommend to think twice before actually changing the country for your account if you bought (many) movies and tv shows with it. Why? Because if you purchased many movies/tv shows and change the country, Apple will compare your purchases from the US with the media available in the German iTunes Store (mostly on with German sound track) and if something isn't available you will lose the iCloud re-download option for previous purchases.

Changing the 'Organize Entries' iview

Hello all,
I've received a request to make two changes to the 'Organize Entries' option of the Portal Favorites iview. They want me to remove the 'Details' option from each of the links shown in 'Organize Entries'. They also want me to make it so that you cannot click on the link and browse to where the link points while in the 'Organize Entries' iview.
I'm sure that this can be done by working with the layout set that the 'Organize Entries' iview uses. However, I can't find the 'Organize Entries' iview. If I find that, I'm sure that I can find the layout set that's being used.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks!

Hi Stephen,
yes, it's definitely recommended not to changes the SAP standard KM configuration objects, but to create copies and use your duplicated Layout Set in a new iView.
Unfortunately I don't know which iView you mean. It could be the Link Link iView integrated in the Standard User Role -> Home (Workset) -> Company (Workset)-> News (Page). The Role can be found under Portal Content -> Portal Users -> Standard Portal Users.
But it could maybe be also another KM Navigation iView (so based on the component com.sap.km.cm.navigation) using the Layout Set LinkListExplorer.
You would need also to duplicate this Layout Set and make some changes, so that when clicking on "Organize Entries" your new my_LinkListMaintenance Layout Set is used. This functionality is implemented in the UI Command EditLinklist. You need to change the Parameters entry of this UI Command to "rndLayoutSet=my_LinkListMaintenance".
This UI Command is integrated in the Component (KM Configuration -> User Interface -> Mapping) LinklistEditReference you would also need to duplicate and integrate in the Collection Renderer Parameter Components of the LinkListExplorer Layout Set (LinkListCollectionRenderer).
I know it's kind of work to duplicated all this KM configuration objects but it's definitely worth in order to be upgrade save as you said.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Family sharing for the store account

instead of showing up for the store account, family sharing is showing up for my icloud account and there seems to be no way to enable family sharing for my store account unless i use the same as my icloud account. both are @icloud.com accounts.
please let me know what can be done.

The list of apps keeps growing and now include Pages and Pinterest. Interesting to note, the issue happens on both my iPhone and iPad but it's not specific to apps. Meaning, Pages won't update on the iPad but my phone seems to have no problems updating it. Anyone?

Family sharing for the divorced

How would one go about setting up an Apple ID for an 8 year old who has divorced, but mostly amicable, parents? Our daughter has an iPod and iPad at separate houses, each currently under our seperate iTunes/iCloud IDs.
Both of us would like the Shared Location, Family Calendar, Family photo album as well as the Permission to Purchase features of Family Sharing, but don't necesarily want to have it all on one credit card, although we do maintain a joint account for child related expenses.
KInd of a mess, looking for suggestions
[Sorry to the admins for the double post. The original one on discussions / iCloud / icloud.com didn't have much activity]

How to change the Organizational Dependency of a Set Type

Hi All,
With the creation of a new set type we made the mistake to not select "Distribution-Chain-Dependent" in the "Org. Dependency"-field.
Now we already maintained a few materials (only in development system) with data in the attributes of this set type, but noticed that the data is not Sales org. dependent. Seems logical, because we forgot to set this org dependency in the set type, but now we want to correct this and I hope you could provide us with the best way to do this.
The field it self is no longer editable in change mode (seems logical, since all tables/structures/relations are already created and messing with this dependency could mess things up) but we really need the org dependency for our product attibutes. So, I wanted to create a new set type, and replace the old one with this new one in our category, but I can't even delete the old set type from our category, because I get the message: "Products of this category already exist; Set type cannot be deleted".
What would be the best way to solve this? (is there a way to change the org dependency of the existing set type?/should I create a new set type? If so, how to delete the old set type and it's data?)
Br,
Martijn.

How can I change the organization information on my trust profile?

I'm re-configuring Lion Server for a company who has changed their name, domain, etc.
I have everything updated SSL cert, Code signing cert wise to their new name.
However, the trust profile still has the OLD organization name. How can I change this?

Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
The give him the iPod. It it already has iOS 5 he can set it up via iTunes/USB or wifi. It not then his has to set it up via iTunes/USB. If the iPod is a1G or 2G iPod make sure the iPod is connected to a charging source since the erase can take hours.

Can I change the "Organization" name in the Site License Information field?

This is a non-critical problem, but it bugs me every time I see it.
When I originally setup my OS X Server install some time ago, I mistyped my company name... so I have a single character out of place.
The admin GUI gives the impression you can change this information since it render this information in editable fields, despite the fact that I can change and even submit the changes with a "save" command... the changes never actually take place.
I was wondering if there was any way I could update this data. Any help would be appreciated since I'm constantly reminded of my mistake every time I logon to admin my Xserve.

You can rename the table within the mapping and then synchronize it with the new table, using the option "match by names". The fields must have the same names as the new table fields. New fields will be created in the table.
