How do i approve my kids app purchases with family share

how do i approve my kids app purchases with family share on my iphone?

Hello andrewmarkp,
With Family Sharing, you can approve purchases with the Ask To Buy feature. The following article provides helpful information:
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Approving purchases with Ask to Buy
You can turn on Ask to Buy to require approval for purchases initiated by any family member who is under 18 years old.*
iOS 8
Tap Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap your family member's name.
Turn on Ask to Buy. 
OS X Yosemite
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Click Manage Family and select your family member's name.
Select Ask to Buy.
Ask to Buy is enabled by default for any children under 13 years old, and can be enabled during the setup process for any children 13-17 years old.* You can't turn on Ask to Buy for adults.
If you don't wish to be billed for purchases initiated by a specific adult family member, you can remove that family member from the family group.
*Ages may vary by country or region.
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

  • HT201454 cannot see apps purchased using family share

    I've setup the family share on my account with my wife and she has accepted.  When she try to access the purchased app it is not there.  I try to download from app store and it wants me to buy again.
    What's wrong?

    I logged out of itunes account on my wife's phone and logged back in and it now is letting me download.  Issue resolved.

  • I am having a problem confirming app purchases thru family share. The window does not pop up when I click on details.

    When either my son or daughter want to purchase a app thru family share. They have to ask permission. Well, when it comes across onto my computer. I am notified where I can either as for details or wait for later. When I clicked on details in the past. Up would come another window where I can either decline or accept. For the last two days, when I click on details. Nothing happens. Anyone??

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
                                            Screenshot is for iPhoto 9
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I pay for ipad app purchase with iTunes card

    I Am using an ipad.  I went to the App Store and downloaded a free game.  However it has other features you can pay for. I want those.  How do I pay for it with an iTunes card? Only option it gives me is credit card

    You need to add your iTunes gift card as your method of payment for your Apple ID. Once you do that the amount for things you purchase will be deducted from the gift card.

  • HT201079 So with "Family Share"...you CAN NOT SHARE family purchases but ONLY PAY for family purchases?? Is this correct?

    when my husband makes a purchase with family share is the purchase only available to him?

    Hello mklc5209,
    I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn more about Family Sharing. I have linked to an article that will help you do that:
    Family Sharing
    All your family’s purchases, on all your family’s devices.
    Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, all the songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the group. And, of course, so are new purchases. The content appears automatically in the Purchased tab in iTunes, iBooks, or the App Store for each family member. Just select the family member whose collection you’d like to browse, then download or play the content you choose. Other family members can access your collection in the same way. If you want to keep some purchases private, you can choose to hide individual items.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • HT204396 How can I turn on in-app purchase on on iPad?

    How can I turn on in-app purchase on on iPad? When I to the restriction and I enable the restrictions, but I cannot slide "In-App Purchases" to the right. What can I do? Thank you.

    When I do it, a msg pops out and shows "your apple ID isn/t enabled iTunes." I cannot slide iTues and in-app purchase from the general restriction. Any other suggestions? Thx.  

  • How do you turn off in app purchases on iMac?

    How do you turn off in app purchases on imac?

    I'm assuming you mean by using the Mac App Store, if so AFAIK  you cannot turn them off. However if you want to prevent someone from making purchases change your AppleID password and don't give it out. Without the password they cannot make purchases. Either that or you can simply sign out. How you sign out in the Mac App Store is Under Quick Links click Account then click Sign Out. Once you are signed out no purchases can be made.

  • How can I get an in app purchase that never synced w/ imac onto comp from my old 3g so that i do not have to 'repurchase' for the 4 (2 apps are groove and doodle buddy)?

    how can I get an in app purchase that never synced w/ imac onto comp from my old 3g so that i do not have to 'repurchase' for the 4 (2 apps are groove and doodle buddy)?

    SO, do I delete the app off of both the old 3g phone AND the imac, then reinstall on ONLY the imac, then re sync?  OR, should I delete off computer, repurchase on computer then re-sync with new iphone4?  I realize this is kind of roundabout, but the issue I ran into was too much stuff on my old 8GB 3G, and I was stuck on iOS3 FOREVER (couldn't upgrade to iOS4) soooo, I deleted a whole bunch of piddly apps from the phone ONLY, which then allowed me to update to iOS4 (on the 3G).  Then, I could sync (which I did, but obviously not everything transferred, b/c when I synced the new 32 GB iphone 4, there are  particular apps {doodle buddy and groove, my tap fish...} that are missing the in app purchases, but these are still on the old 8GB 3G).  I am so confused....

  • How do you turn off in- app purchasing?

    How do I turn off in-app purchasing? I recently incurred a $30.00 charge for coins on an Ice Age game. Is there a away to block this feature on my ipad?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Which is easily remedied in the restriction directly under in-app purchases where the 15 minutes can be changed to immediately, which means that the password is required to authorize every single purchase.
