Family Sharing - How does child receive msgs & email?

I added my 8 year old son to my Family Sharing.  I want to send him emails and iMessages from my iPhone to my iPad which he uses frequently.  When I attempt to send him a message from my iPhone or Mac, using his @icloud email address, I get errors saying this cannot be done.  I am also unable to send him emails at that iCloud address.  How do we set this up?  I have looked in Settings on all my devices and no luck finding the steps.

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.

    To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect.

  • Family sharing how does it work

    I would like to know how it works and to set it up

    Hi Lillian,
    Family Sharing is a new iTunes offering that allows one responsible adult (the "Family Organizer") to take financial responsibility for one or more minors, even if they would otherwise would be too young to buy from iTunes.  The Family Organizer must have a credit card.  Members of the family group can share purchases for as long as they stay in the group.
    The following document has a good summary:

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's how it's supposed to work, you can't stop it. If this isn't what you want you should get yourself a POP based email account.

  • How do I transfer Game Center id to a new apple id (created for family sharing for a child) in iOS 8?

    I just created a new Apple ID for my son (under 13 so could not have an account until new), as part of the new family sharing option in iOS 8.0.2, and I want to transfer the Game Center account he was using to the new Apple ID. I see in Settings > Game Center it has the option to login into an Apple ID but not Game Center separately. How do I get the new Apple ID to use the old Game Center account he was using?

    There is no way to merge or transfer anything to another AppleID. The App Store license also specifies that purchases cannot be transferred.

  • Family Sharing, how do I do it?

    How do I add someone to Family Sharing?

    Hello headfx,
    The steps below detail how to go about inviting someone to join your family group.
    Invite people to join your family
    Use these steps in iOS 8:
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Family > Add Family Member.
    Enter your family member's name or email address.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. After you send the invitation, you can check its status under the person's name in Settings > iCloud > Family.
    Use these steps in OS X Yosemite:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
    Click Manage Family.
    Click +, then follow the onscreen instructions.
    You can also use these steps to create an Apple ID for a child and add them to your family group. When you create an account for a child, you must use a credit card as the payment method as part of providing your parental consent. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card if you choose.
    Start or join a family group using Family Sharing

  • Family sharing - how to create a separate account?

    My son (4) has his own ipad, but I've always used my Apple ID to purchase apps for him. I'm trying to set up family sharing. Recently I read on Apple's website:
    Kids under 13 can have an account too.
    Now kids under 13 can have their own Apple IDs. As a parent or legal guardian, the family organiser creates the child’s Apple ID and adds the child to the family group. Ask to Buy is turned on by default, but the organiser can also limit the content kids have access to on their devices through Restrictions on an iOS device or parental controls in OS X and iTunes.
    How can I set this up for him. As I've tried creating an Apple ID for him but I get this message You are not eligible to create an account at this time.
    I'm assuming because he is under 13.
    When I do eventually create an account for him, will I be able to share previously purchased apps that I have purchased before setting up his account?

    Found info on how to set up account which was successful:
    Age is also dependant on the country.

  • How come i received an email confirming my second creative cloud payment 2 days ago and today i have logged on and i only have a free membership?

    about a month ago i signed up to the student creative cloud monthly subscription. today i have bought a new mac book and the first thing i did was install my creative cloud. after logging in and installed illustrator i realised that it had only installed the trial version. i then decided to log on online to see if there was any issues on there. after logging on and going to manage my account i discovered that according to online i have only got the free creative cloud memberhip. the reason i have an issue with this is that on Friday i received an email confirming my payment has gone through. so how come i am paying for a full student membership and then only receiving the trials?  as you can iamgine i am not impressed!

  • When on family sharing how can I use the credit on my account instead of the family credit card?

    I have a credit of $5.90 that already existed before being added to family sharing. The only pay option is the family credit card, and not my existing credit. I want to finish up my credit first. How can I do this? I've tried on my iPad, my iPhone, and they don't work. I decided to try my laptop and still no use.

    Hi,
    Are you talking about changing the Apple ID used for purchases in iTunes? If so go to 'Settings->iTunes & App Store-> then 'tap' on the Apple ID that appears and click Sign Out on menu that appears. You can now login with a different Apple ID.

  • After upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, mail server does not receive incoming email

    After upgrading my server last night [2011.07.20] from Snow Leopard to Lion, my mail server settings went belly up.  After toying around with the server, its certificates and what-not, I was able to get it running, but it is no longer receiving any emails [neither internally nor from Gmail, Yahoo, etc.].
    I can send emails via SMTP just fine [using SSL] to external email accounts [and it doesn't complain when I address an email to an internal email account, but I can't verify that it's sending it to the internal email account because it won't receive!].
    The Connection Doctor says that it is indeed connecting properly to the server [incoming = IMAP, outgoing = SMTP], so there is communication between Mail 5.0 [and also Thunderbird as well] and the mail server.  The problem appears to be the mail server not receiving any emails - from internal or external addresses.
    Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix for it?
    Thanks!

    Did you find a solution to this issue?  My mail server is doing the same thing.  I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues.  I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
    I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly.  The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
    I see errors like this littered in the logs:
    Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
    Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
    Do you see anything similar?

  • I have family sharing, however children have received iTunes vouchers for Christmas and redeemed under their own IDs, however purchases still only can go through to my credit card

    how do you get family sharing to use kids redeemed iTunes vouchers before collecting from parents credit card

    Hello 69cou,
    You would need to add the iTunes Gift Cards on their devices or Apple ID. Once that is done, they should be able to make a purchase and pay with their iTunes credit first and what ever is left over will go towards your payment information. Take a look at the articles below for more information and how to add credit.

  • Family sharing, how to set default payment to none.

    why can't I set my default payment to none in family sharing? I'd like to only us gift cards. Makes no sense. Gives my family a free pass to purchase whatever they want.

    I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work.<BR>As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.<BR><BR>HTH

  • How does Over received Qtys against a PO is handled in ORMS ?

    Hi all ,
    while we do receiving in ORWMS or ORSIM if we happen to do over receiving how does the same information is passed back to ORMS against an Purchase order.
    regards,
    Deepak

    Deepak
    We use third-party store and warehouse inventory management, but we do then interface the received qty's back into RMS using the RMSSUB_RECEIPT.CONSUME package.
    There are no in-built limitations to over-receiving in RMS. You will simply end up with an order line (ORDLOC) with qty received > qty ordered. Similarly, if you processed an ASN in advance of receiving (where ASN did not indicate an over-shipment), this will be displayed as received qty > expected qty on SHIPSKU.
    The stock ledger will reflect the actual received qty. There are no special postings as there are in relation to Transfers where there is special logic to handle over/under receipts, controlled by system options.
    I do not know if you can configure controls on whether or not to allow over-receipts within ORSIM or ORWMS.
