I set up family sharing wrong, so i left family sharing and joined the right way agin but an error occurred and now it tells me I'll have to wait 364 days to rejoin again! How can I reset my account so I can use it again?

WWhen I set up family sharing i did it with me as family organizer, but as my spouse is the organizer I had to leave the "family" I created and join his. But while setting it up an error occurred, and the screen went blank. Now I tried to join his family sharing again, and my phone keeps telling me I can't because accounts can only join families twice a year.
I Don't really want to wait 364 days from now, is there a way in which I can reset my accoint so I can join family sharing again?
Apple support doesn't have a solution for me yet!
KInd regards

This morning I looked at my family sharing account again an IT WORKS NOW! Think Apple has done a reset to my account, though I'm not exactly sure why! So I hope it works for you guys as well!

Family sharing set up and adding family members

I am setting up family sharing and I have everything ready to go. I am not able to find any family members to add once I get to that step in setting it up. How do I invite or add my husband if I can't find them when I start to add them? I have read all of the articles for setting up family sharing and have not yet found the answer I am looking for. Please help!!!

I'm not sure what the problem would be. Try contacts iTunes store support for assistance by by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products & Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption>The topic is not listed. The call should be free of charge.

When i try to access to adobe.com put accidentally 2012 like a birth date, that block me to acess all the function and i can't modify it.

Is this when you are trying to log in to acrobat.com files from within Reader?
If so, this is sort-of by design, because of the US CIPA regulations. It does, however, catch accidental date entries as well.
I'll pass the frustration along to our login service.

Airdrop/Family Sharing - wrong name showing.

Hi.
Having updated to iOS8 today, I've set up Family Sharing with my wife and daughter. However, when I tried to send something to my wife via airdrop it showed on her phone as if my daughter tried to send it.
I've double checked both my and my daughter's settings and we do not have any duplication any email addresses etc in each other's accounts anywhere.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Gary

I had the same pproblem initially. The name is not pulled from your contacts, it is taken from the iTunes account itself. I had to login to my wife's Apple ID via iTunes (very bottom of the first screen in the iTunes app) which sent me to Safari and asked me to login online. Once I did, I saw that somehow my wife's account was under my own name instead of hers for some reason. It's easy to fix, just click edit on the right.

HT201304 I bought a new iPhone4s, I typed in a wrong birth date when entering in a new account on my Iphone4s, now it won't let me create a new account anymore? What can I do?

Bascially it's not allowing me to go back and put in all the information again and just correct the date. I did that and it just says the "age" problem again!
I think it's maybe caching the wrong age not the new information...
Must I reset the whole phone because of an error in typing?

I having same problem is there a solution ?

Family Sharing - iCloud and iTunes Accounts

So I have have had an apple ID (just a user name) for an eternity. That has been the main purchasing vehicle over the years, both in iTunes and more recently, the Mac App store. But I also have an iCloud account (email address) that primarily has served as my iCloud login but a few times have made purchases.
With Family sharing, I want to be able for everoyne to have access to both accounts, but it doesn't seem possible. My iCloud account drives the setup of family share, and the account is my legacy user name that has been used for 98% of my purchases. I have not found a way under family sharing to get both added as Apple sees them as being the same regardless of email I use to add, etc.
Any thoughts?

Under "Setting up Family Sharing" here: https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/family-sharing/ it says:
"You can accept a Family Sharing invitation from any compatible iOS device or Mac where you are signed into iCloud. Or, if the organizer is nearby, they can simply ask you to enter your iCloud Apple ID and password during the setup process. To complete setup, you will also confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes, iBooks, and App Stores so you can share your purchases with family members."
This suggests that you can specify a different ID for the iTunes store if you aren't using your iCloud ID for purchasing.

Hello Appu Iyer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Family Sharing is not dictated by the device, but the Apple ID associated with the device. Please take a look at the following support article to learn more about Family Sharing.

Go here. Then Manage Your Apple ID > sign in with her Apple ID > select Name, ID and Email Addresses
Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see the Select your birth date on the right. Edit it then Save.

Family sharing mail problem

I activated family sharing on my iPhone, added my wife and she gets an invitation mail from me.
In the mail it says, click here to show the invitation, she clicks it and comes to a webpage saying
that she must click the link in the mail to activate family sharing????
Anyone else with this problem?

I didn't have that problem and I don't know how to explain that BUT to overcome that problem and put family sharing to work use the alternative method.
When you are asked to ad a famil member you can send invitation or you can ask him/her to write password directly in your device. Try this last one and lt me know, it worked fine for me

How to edit birth date of child in family sharing

I've just added my daughter to my Family Sharing account and it doesnt have her birthdate correct, how can I edit the date to the correct birth date?

I know its not a good idea to lie about children ages, but KIDS love iDevices, and as they are the Future how can we refuse them. Plus a lot of parents let they're KIDS use the Adults Apple ID. I have 2 daughters, and using Family sharing I can choose to accept or refuse Apps they try to download. I also lock down they're iDevices so they are not subjected to unsightly material.
We are all in the incubation stage of the development of the handheld Devices, so some times you have to find a work around solution which works best for you. I am sure in the Future these small problems will have a solution. Plus my girls are teaching me more and more about the potential use of iDevices.
After all, its all about Parents parenting they're KIDS. You teach them the "Green cross code' (how to cross a road safely), so it should be so that you Educate them to not to talk to strangers on the streets, or in the Virtual world. Teach them well and they will Learn.

Cannot set child's birth date while creating Apple ID for iOS 8 family sharing

Just upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 8 and am in the process of setting up Family Sharing. I want to create an Apple ID for my 13-year old. For some reason iOS doesn't let me enter the birthday properly. It keeps rolling back to 18 September 2001 (exactly 13 years ago today). My kid's birthday is several months earlier.
iOS does let me choose any later date, e.g. in November 2001 or 2011. But as soon as I choose a date earlier than 18 September 2001, iOS rolls back to 18 Sep 2001.
Since children under 13 are not eligible, it seems that only children that are EXACTLY 13 years old today (happy birthday!) can get an Apple ID.
Must be a bug, right?

If they are 13 they would obtain a normal Apple ID (13 is the age cutoff historically for an Apple ID). They should create one normally and then you can associate it with your account. I don't know if purchase control will work with that.

HT201058 How much iCloud data do you get using Family Sharing?

If I add both of my daughters to my Family Sharing, how much iCloud storage do we get between the 3 of us?
Is it worth joining ID's, if we only have 5GB to share between us, considering we are all using over 4GB each now.

I would also like to know how I can merge a Apple ID with another ID?
I set up my daughters ID's about 3 years ago, but I had to add 10 years to their Date Of Birth, else I could not get them ID's. Now when I have added my daughter to my Family Sharing, it states she is an adult, and it will not let my change her DOB. Apple says I have to setup a child ID within Family Sharing.
So, can I change a Adult ID to a Child ID, or merge a Adult ID to a new Child ID?

Family sharing data needs to be changed

An apple id has been set up for my child, but the incorrect birthdate was mistakenly entered. As the adult, I am trying to set up Family Sharing on icloud, and it shows my child listed as an adult. How do I change the birthdate to reflect he is a child? When I log in as his apple id, and go to the "password and security" section, I answer the security questions. When I go down the the "select your birthdate" section, and try to change it to the correct date, hit save, an error says "You cannot change your birthdate at this time". I have logged out and logged back in a few times to try again, to no avail. How can this be corrected?

Try changing it to 1/1/2001. That particular date tends to be accepted, and will convert it to a child ID. I'm not sure why Apple isn't allowing people to enter the correct birthdate.

When we purchase from iTunes the balance is not coming off of the gift cards. We have family sharing on but when my kids purchase songs they are credited to our credit card and not the gift card that is already in their account. What's wrong?
