How do I change age on family sharing

If I wanted to change a family member's apple id age how would I do that. I want to change the age on the apple ID without creating a new apple ID.

I have already been around this and ended up creating a new AppleID using the Family Sharing route. That seems to be the only way for me to create an under 13 account.
I am curious what you guys think you are going to lose this way. Photos/Music etc. can obviously be backed up to a PC/Mac. Personally, before family sharing, I logged my son on as me in the app store, but not for messages/iTunes etc. So when I created his new under-13 account, added him to our family and logged him on as himself, he still had access to all the apps he did previously, via Family Sharing.
I can see it would be annoying to say the least if you had made a lot of purchases using the old "faked" account. If this was the case I would log a ticket with Apple and see if they are able to manually reset the age for that AppleID.

How can we change the assigned Family Organizer?

Hi J. Stephen G.,
Great question! It is not possible to change the family organizer, however you can disband the group and restart it under a new organizer. For information on doing so, check out these resources:

How to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing

Can someone please explain to me in detail how to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing, none of the information I have so far found in the documentation helps at all, in fact it puts you in a constant loop giving the same information over and over again
We have quite a few devices from ipads, iphones and ipods and I need to set-up Family Sharing.
We have our main Apple ID which is linked to our Payment method, I have now got my son a new iPad, I have created his Apple ID and set-up a link via FAMILY Sharing to our main Apple ID.
From what I read we should be able to share our purchased Apps between family members.
So I figured I would be able to get the Apps now via iTunes that are part of the FAMILY Sharing, however when I go into ITunes (latest version downloaded yesterday) I can only see the Home sharing menu item not FAMILY Sharing, so I cannot work out in Itunes how to get Apps that are FAMILY shared. So ok I will try and get Apps directly via the Ipad using the App Store. To test it is working I look for a known paid for App, I then go to download it and it is now asking me to pay for it again.
Can someone please explain to me in detail how FAMILY Sharing is supposed to work and how I get it to work please.
Thanks for your help
Greg

Hey GregWr,
Thanks for the question. The following resources provides some of the best information regarding Family Sharing. Included, you’ll find information on making sure the accounts are set to "Share my purchases”, as well as information on downloading Family Member purchases from the iTunes Purchased section. Please note that some applications are not shareable.

How do you remove someome from family sharing?

How do you remove someone from family sharing on iTunes?

On your device (I assume you are the organizer), go to SETTINGS -> iCloud -> Family. Select the specific family member and then click Remove.

Change status in Family Sharing

I Have two minors I have added to the family share feature but their status is adult. How do I change their status to child?

If they are 13 or younger, you will have to create a new apple ID from within the family sharing setup. I have also heard that you can possibly adjust their age to 2001 to enable ATB, but I don't know if that really works.

How to set up individuals on family sharing for using Facetime - all are saying it's me!

I've set up family sharing for my wife and kids. Currently all the devices are set up as me and linked to my email address and phone number. how do i separate them onto my wife's email / mobile no and then separate my kids (all under 13) so they can use Facetime etc? thanks!

Hello Mevster,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to change the Apple ID used by services, like FaceTime, on some iOS devices. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of information that should answer your question and walk you through the process of changing the Apple ID that's used for services on iOS devices.

How to delete child appleid from family sharing on ios 8 ipad

I have two apple ids for one child in Family Sharing. How do I delete one?

I have the same question. I'm about sick of reading people referring me to the above link that King refers to. Primarily becuase it does NOT address the question at hand. That question is "How do you delete a child Apple ID?". I know I've seen that you can not remove adult ones, but apple does not you "can" do it, but doesn't show "how" to do it. In my personal case, I need to delete the one I made and create a new one. This is because having an incorrect child apple ID in my family share takes 1 spot away from my sharing. I need to remove the child ID from my share plan to create a corrected apple ID for her. The above linke King posted states,
"Children under 13 can't be removed from a family. If you need to, you can transfer the child to another family or delete their apple ID." Now..the phrase "child to another family" is hyperlinked and clearly shows how to do this. But the "delete their apple ID" is NOT hyperlinked. So we continue to search for our original answer that I haven't found since iOS 8 was released and I bought my iphone 6 on release day.
Now on that topic, the family share is messed up HARD for children. Heres why, while I wait to find out how to delete the incorrectly typed apple ID I made, I tested how it works for my 6 y/o, who was very excited to get her own iphone 5 (w/o cell cervice, glorified itouch).
1.) While testing it out with the bad ID, I created the family share as the ogranizer. I then added my wife and made her a Parent/Guardian". Howver, despite this, when the "child" ID requests permission to purchase something in itunes, it only sends it to my wife and not me. This shoudl go to both parents! If you want one or the other, make a setting. Otherwise, if its flagged as an organizer or parent, they should have the power. After all, as the organizer, she was verified as MY child through my credit card but I can't authorize the purchase as the organizer. Do what? Come on!
2.) When my daughter asks to buy something, she has to put in a password. This is simply nuts. My 6 y/o needs to put in a password for PERMISSION to ask her parents to buy something. Of which the parents then authorizes the purchase via either a password or fingerprint scan. What non-parent thought this up?
3.) To update an app on my daughters iphone requires her to request permission for each and every app, despite there being an update all. This means, she has to put the password in on every...single...update...individually. Update all does not work. This means we need to authorize each update too...My God...really?
4.) On the topic of passwords. Again, CHILD account ID. Apple requires passwords to be 8 characters, has to have an upper and lower case, can't be a simple word, has to have a number. I mean..lets sit and think about this. a CHILD with such a complex password needing to be entered each time to update an individual app and ask permisison. If its a child, it means the responsibility should be put on the parent. Have the OS route the request to ME and let me put the password in for my child.
5.) Whats the point of Auto Update? I mean, if I APPROVED these apps to go on my daughters phone, then it should AUTO UPDATE itself! It does not! Really?
6.) How can apple advise in the FAQ's to delet the apple child ID but doesn't hyper link to it? Is someone really that dense? It sure scares the DEATH out of me to try apple PAY! >.<
7.) As I sit here looking at my family share settings, this very second, and I look at my daughters ID in there (the incorrect one I need to fix), there is nice itty bitty language on how to transfer an apple ID and a hyperlink there. This is a GREAT spot for DELETE APPLE ID! You know, I even logged into apples main management Apple ID section...you can't even delete the ID there either.
8.) The WHOLE point of the family share is so you can share up to 6 people. BUT, if you try to download prior purchases on the new account's, you get an error message saying that this was previously purchased BUT you are unable to download it (For what ever reason) on every one. Thank GOD I realized I can manually FORCE the crap onto her phone by pushing it from my desktop computer to hers.
I mean...how can a "high tech" company be so obtuse? If you can't get CHILDREN policy right, how will your Apple Pay policy work out?
Sincerely,
A very disgruntled parent!

How do I change the main home sharing computer?

I just got rid of my PC and got a Mac. My main computer for home sharing on iTunes was the PC...how do I change it over to my Mac for home sharing with my macbook and apple tv?

If you are completely taking the PC off line, go into iTunes first and deauthorize the computer. This doesn't really have anything to do with Home Sharing, it's just a good thing to do when you're eliminating a computer that was part of your iTunes ecosystem.
Home Sharing will follow your Apple ID. Presumably you will be on the same WiFi Network. So, get the itunes library moved to your Mac, Set up iTunes on your Mac with the same Apple ID. In iTunes, acitivate Home Sharing form the iTunes Advanced Menu. Enjoy.

How do you share audiobooks on family sharing?

I am the organizer on our family sharing and I purchased an audiobook for my son hoping he could access and download it on his iPod touch. But he cannot find it on his iPod. Are audiobooks included in family sharing? And how do you know whether something you purchase will be able to be shared or not?

Home sharing involves using the iTunes library on your computer. If you open iTunes on your Mac you can see Audiobooks on the left sidebar under Library:
If you don't see the left sidebar, go to Vies>Show Sidebar. If you can see the left sidebar but don't see Audiobooks, go to iTunes>Preferences and check Audiobooks in the Show section at the top of the General tab.
If you don't see your Audiobooks in your library after selecting Audiobooks on the left sidebar, connect the device that has the audiobook to your computer, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer a copy to your iTunes library. Once it's in your library, your can transfer a copy to other computers on your network using Home Sharing (see http://macmost.com/sharing-ios-apps-with-family.html).

How to access all music via family sharing

I have setup family sharing, my daughter can see some of my music but not all. What do I need to do so that she can see my whole music library?

Hello, mummyholly.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that some Family Sharing content is not showing on your daughter's iTunes account. I would first make sure that Parental Controls or Restrictions are not enabled.

How do I remove an app (family sharing) that was previously approved?

Greetings -
With Family Sharing, we find that the "approve purchase" feature is wonderful - but what if we approve an app that, later, we decide was a bad idea? I can't seem to find a way to permanently unapprove it - even after removing it, and "hiding" it in the purchases list for every user, it still shows up with the cloud download icon in the app store (i.e., it can be downloaded again without approval). I need this to be reverted so that, if the app was requested again, it asked the family organizer (me) for approval. Is there a way to do that? If it's important, my two girls both have iOS devices - but I'm approving the requests on a Mac.

If you've encountered the activation lock and previously associated that device with Apple Configurator, bypass it from there.
If you've encountered the activation lock but didn't associate that device with Apple Configurator, take it and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store or otherwise contact Apple.

How can you share audiobooks in family sharing?

We use Family Sharing in our family. But on the "purchase" items in iTunes on ipads and iphones there only appears Music, Films and TV Programmes. No Audiobooks. Did Apple just forget them or can I find them somewhere else?

Audiobooks are a one-time only download (which I think is a restriction set by audible.com who supply them to Apple) - you will need to sync/copy them onto each device or computer that you want them on, they won't show in the cloud for redownloading.

How do I share contacts with "Family Sharing"?

My wife and I had been sharing my iCloud account on 2 phones because we want our calendars and contacts synced. I'd rather use the Family Sharing, but it seems like it will not allow you to share contacts. Anyone know who we can do this without having to share the same iCloud account on 2 phones?
Thanks!

I have the same issue more or less.
iMac contacts are set up to support us both, some contacts are common, some for each individual, separated by groups. Prior to iOS 8 shared my iCloud account to get contacts and iCal across iMac and two iPhones. Just tried family share, worked fine for iCal but did share contacts for wife's phone, who was an invited group member. I understand that Family Share does not work for this operation. That is a FAIL in my opinion if true. Deleted family share. Now back to one iCloud account. Issue with one account is that I get all of her "recents" showing up in mail and messages and now on the home screen. I would really like to have things more separated. All ideas are welcome!
Just read this:
My thinking is the the new Family Sharing is a FAIL and that following the advice of this article is still valid.
