Family sharing is not allowing purchases from other parent phone

Hi,
My husband and I both have iphone 5S with IOS 8 on them. He has set up Family sharing as the organizer I am the Parent. His account has always been the main one we have purchased from. My question is that we thought with Family Sharing, once everything is set up I won't need to use his Master Password to still download material. After he approves the initial setup I can purchase using my ID (without a CC attached) and it will allow me to download content but bill his CC on file on his account. Is this true? If so then how come I keep being prompted on both itunes on my PC and my iphone for his master password? Is there a setting that isn't correct?
Thanks

Same issue.  Annoying.  I was looking forward to this feature more than any other in iOS 8.
I was able to manually sync the applications from iTunes to the phone, but not via the phone only (the iCloud app store download).  I get that "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID" error "because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
One of the applications I was able to install successfully via iTunes wouldn't update either, so I logged out of my spouse's account to see what would happen when I tried to update it.  It just spun and spun and never updated.  I restarted the phone, tried again (with her ID) and it gave the error.  Logged out and into my account, and was able to update.
If the error is caused by application developers not "allowing" Family Sharing, I'm afraid most old applications which aren't being updated anymore will never work.  Again, this sort of deflates the value of the "feature". 
Either this is a poorly implemented feature with a lot of bugs, or Apple misled us into believing this feature was something that it isn't.

  • Why does Apple not allow purchases from different "apple stores"?

    Why pigeon hole people and restrict them from Purchasing Apps from whichever country they want to? Is this just another example of Apple's need to Control people?

    Apple has their reasons and certainly does not disclose them here.  Speculating on their decisions is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.

  • I am unable to redeem iTunes cards from my iPhone 5 or my PC using my account.  I am able to use mmy PC to access and purchase from other's accounts.  I get a temporary unavilable to redeem message or an iTunes unknown 5002 error.

    My iPhone 5 and my PC (Windows 7) will not allow me to redeem cards or make purchases.  I get an unknown iTunes error 5002 on the PC and when using the iPhone it goes blank after a code is entered and does not return.  It recovers when the home button is pressed.  The software is up to date and this has been tried by USB and Wi-Fi from different netwroks.  This matter has persisted for more than five days without a resolution from Apple support.  The same PC allows purchases from iTunes from other accounts belonging to others who use the same PC with their IOS devices (iPhone 5, iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle).

    Hello jaybearden,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • How Can I know, Material status does not allow purchase??

    Hi Experts,
    Pls. clarify me that, How Can I know/track the follwoing things? Which tables I hv to see?
    I hv a list of materials, some r good , some r bad. So, I hv to trace out the bad materials depending on the criteria, So, pls. let me know Which tbls I hv to look?
    1) Material does not exist in plant 1500
    2) Material status does not allow purchase
    3) Decimal places on the quantity may not be supported by unit of measure
    thanq

    thanq
    MATNR status:
    In our system the values for MARC-BESKZ are
    E     In-house production
    F     External procurement
         No procurement
    X     Both procurement types
    My requirement: I need to trace the MATNR from matnr_list for Material status does not allow purchase
    So, am thinking to write IF condn as,
    IF my_itab-matnr <> 'F' or my_itab-matnr <> 'X'.
    --> this matnr is Material status does not allow purchase
    ENDIF.
    Am I correct?
    3) Decimal places on the quantity may not be supported by unit of measure
    This can be retrieved from table T006
    I hv seen but, DO NOT UNDERSTAMD THIS TABLE entries, bcoz, there r values of 0 & 1 for the DECIMAL PLACES filed, partcularly for EA unit - devciaml places value is 0?
    pls. clarify,
    thanq

    You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

  • How to allow some fixed extension go in from outside to inside but not allow go from inside to outside

    how to allow some fixed extension go in from outside to inside but not allow go from inside to outside

    Hi,
    The ZBF link sent earlier show how we can inspect URI in http request
    parameter-map type regex uri_regex_cm
       pattern “.*cmd.exe”
    class-map type inspect http uri_check_cm
       match request uri regex uri_regex_cm
    ZBf is the feature on Cisco routers and ASA though concepts are little same but works differently. However it is important that you can be more granular with the protocol (layer 7) inspection only. Like on ASA if you will try to restrict .exe file from a p2p application that won't be possible, But on router you have some application for p2p in NBAR and you can use it file filtering. Please check configuartion example for both devices.
    Thanks

  • My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account .  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2.  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

  • VLD-2771: System privileges may not allow extraction from source T.

    How to solve this problem.
    while deploying I am getting this message,besides where in oracle site I can find documentation for the errors in warehouse builder.
    VLD-2771: System privileges may not allow extraction from source T.
    I had given dba privileges to both source and target schemas, but still getting the error.
    Regards,
    Prabhathg

    When I tried to deploy my mapping, I am getting warning message <<VLD-2771: System privileges may not allow extraction from source D_UII_MV_NCA_INFRACONN.>>. As solution written in "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=252565&message=742299", I gave SELECT privilege on the source table to the target user. But still, I am getting this error message.
    Can you please guide me in right direction?

  • VLD-2771 System privileges may not allow extraction from source ....??

    When I try to deploy the mappings in OWB Deployment Manager, I got a Warning "VLD-2771 System privileges may not allow extraction from source ORDER_ITEMS". WHY? ^^""
    ========================================
    I define a Runtime Repository Connections "ORACLE_HW_RUNTIME"
    Host Name: localhost
    Port Number: 1521
    Service Name: GBGLM
    Connect As User: owb904rr
    Runtime Repository Owner: owb904rr
    and the "ORACLE_HW_RUNTIME" is in "ORACLE_WAREHOUSE" module, the "ORACLE_WAREHOUSE" use the link "OE" and the owner is "OWBUSER"
    p.s. the table "ORDER_ITEMS" is in "OE" schema. I had grant DBA to "owb904rr" and "OWBUSER".
    then use "ORACLE_HW_RUNTIME" to deploy the Mappings "WH_ORDERS_MAP". What I need to do for deploy?
    ^_^||

    Anyone with similar experience using SQL Server as the source?
    First I get: VLD-2771: System privileges may not allow extraction from source Product.
    Then if i ignore the warning and deploy, i get
    ORA-06550: line 15, column 18:
    PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    I have a public database link to the sql server database.
    When I create the mapping, I am able to see the tables and create the map. So why this problem when deploying. Which user is to be granted access to the source tables. I belive we cannot grant access to remote database tables using a database link. So what is the work around?
    Any help is highly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, redownloading of past music purchases isa still in beta test and only available in the US right now.
    It's due for everyone this fall.  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you can't wait, contact the iTunes Store Support Team at this link
    If you get lucky, they may be able to authorize another download now.

  • How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    Hi John,
    I appreciate your prompt response.
    We have an Australian client here in the Philippines and would want to purchase an adobe software under Creative Cloud Licensing.
    Since this type of licensing is not yet available here in the Philippines, they are suggesting that they can purchase it in their country.
    My main concern is, will there be any conflict upon installing/activating an adobe software under Creative Cloud which will be purchased from their country?
    And what are the steps for installing and activating a software under this type of license.

    Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo.

    iOS 4.2.1 (8C148a)

    My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S  for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error.  I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option.  I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
    I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
    Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

  • My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

    My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

    - Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery.  Just the icon.
    - Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
    - What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

    Make sure that your date and time settings and time zone are accurate (Settings - General - Date and Time). Reset your phone to 'Set Automatically' and then try signing in again - this worked for me.  My date/time settings were not automatic (candy crush cheats!!).
