How does Family Sharing work if both members have iTunes Match subscriptions?

I wanted to add someone to my family sharing in the new iOS 8 but we both have separate iTunes match subscriptions. How are those two subscriptions effected if she is added to my family sharing or are the two match accounts merged? Any advice on this would be great.

I'm still trying to figure out this family sharing thing, but I THINK the other person will still be logged in with their own apple id, so they would have access to their own iTunes match, and not yours.  I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to "family share" iTunes match.  Like I said, i'm still working on it, but so far on the one account i've set it up on, I didn't have to log that user out.

    kokogo,
    Purchases made in the iTunes and App Stores will first attempt to use any store credit that exists on the purchaser's account. Barring sufficient credit, the family organizer's card will be used for the purchase.
    First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

  • How does iPhoto sharing work? Does it enable someone to share your photos on a public wifi?

    How does iPhoto sharing (in preferences) work?  If you enable it, does it allow someone to view your photos while on a public wifi? I am using a macbook pro with 10.7.4

    Only if you set it to do so and only if the person on the other end has iPhoto.

  • Does family sharing allow content not purchased through itunes?

    Most of my music has been ripped from my CDs, not purchased through itunes. The family sharing feature in ios8 sounds tempting since I currently have 4 of us working from a single account which causes some issues at times. Will I still be able to share the ripped CDs and other content not purchased from itunes with other family members if we split up and then turn on family sharing?
    Thus far, the 5S that just arrived today is the only device with ios8 on it. The other iphones and ipads in the house will need to be updated when it seems safe to do so. We are also running itunes on two macbook pros and a few PCs.

    Yes, home sharing works with both purchased and ripped music, as well as videos.  It does not allow you to move content from one computer to another; it allows you to stream content from one computer to another computer or device on the local network (or connected via a VPN).
    If you want to access music outside of your network and copying it is a problem, then you might consider Match.

  • Two Apple IDs one one computer sharing music files and want both to have iTunes match for iPhones

    My wife and I share one windows computer. We each have our own iTunes accounts but share the music files.  We want to both use iTunes Match but I can't turn that on on both accounts.  Any thoughts?

    You want to use iTunes Match on what devices? As you are aware it is not possible to have iTunes Match enabled for two iTunes Store accounts on the same computer, since any one device can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. This applies to iOS devices as well as computers.
    iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out. So there are no easy solutions to your situation. If one of you enables iTunes Match on one Apple ID and the other re-downloads anything from your purchase history or has an automatic download happen that will initiate an Apple ID re-association for the device and will lock out the other account for 90 days.
    On iOS devices, it can only be signed into one Apple ID every 90 days for same reason. At this time you've really only got a couple of solutions: Abandon one iTunes Store Apple ID and only use one for all devices; or, purchase a new computer and have separate iTunes Match accounts.

  • How does Home Sharing Work?

    My son has my old iPod Nano (4th generation).  I have an iPod Touch (4th generation) and an iPhone 5.  Everything on my lap top syncs just fine.  But I can't figure out how to get my music into my son's library on his lap top.  We've turned on Home Sharing in both File and Preferences.  But it says we're not connected.  Is it because we only have 1 Apple ID?

    I'm having a similar problem. Your Apple ID is supposed to be the same for home sharing to work.
    I've done this before but it was quite a while ago. I'm trying to import my library from my desktop to my laptop, they have the same Apple ID, they are both authorized on my account, home sharing is turned on and checked in the library menu (on both computers), and the Bonjur service is enabled, however the home sharing icon just isn't there. There is no way for me to access the library of the other computer to import the files. Help would be much appreciated. 

  • How does display sharing work? (i.e. a MBA using a 27" iMac as ext display)

    I have a 27" iMac, and am considering a MacBook Air: one consideration in choosing the MBA (which has a smaller screen that I would choose) is that if i can use the iMac at home as ext displaym then I can live when travelling with the smaller MBA display (vs. a 15" MBP).
    However, when I hook the MBA to the iMac, how do I toggle the iMac display between iMAc and the MBA?
    Also, does hooking them up via MiniDP mean that the iMac keyboard and mouse will control the MBA? Or will I need to sit at my desk with two of each?
    Thanks

    You can keep your MacBook Air open and use the iMac as display #2. You will use the MacBook Air's keyboard and trackpad (or mouse) to control the machine.
    You can keep the MacBook Air plugged in and closed, connect an external keyboard and external mouse/trackpad and run the MacBook Air in "closed clamshell" mode. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131?viewlocale=en_US
    The hardest part is finding a mini display port to mini display port cable. In theory, you may be able to use the iMac's video and audio with a MacBook Air. No guarantees on that. You will need the latest spec on the cable and just finding a cable may be a challenge.

  • HT4557 How Does Home Sharing Work?

    When home sharing is turned on on multiple devices, should the Itunes library automatically appear to listen to songs through another device? Example Library of songs is on MacBook- can I listen through Iphone?

    No, I've already read the support online. I have Home Sharing turned on but nothing happens, how do I access the Itunes library from another device? Should it automatically download or is there another step?

  • 2 Ipods, 1 Itunes: How does podcast sharing work?

    I have read the apple documentation on how to share an itunes library with a second ipod. In my case, it will be with my wife. If I decide to go with the second option (keep one login account, but create various playlists that get synced to specific ipods), how will Itunes keep track of which podcasts have been listened to? Will itunes simply change its state to reflect the most recent sync? Or is there some way to keep track of which Ipod has listened to which podcasts?

    Will itunes simply change its state to reflect the most recent sync?
    Yes.
    Or is there some way to keep track of which Ipod has listened to which podcasts?
    No.

  • When I try to set up family sharing I get "This account is already shared by another family member. Family sharing works best if every family member uses their own account." how do I reset?  I can't find where it is being used.

    Hi jmeckoll1,
    It sounds as if you are trying to set up family sharing starting with an Apple ID which someone has already used to start a family group. Presumably this person is within the family group you want to share with. One solution to this issue would be to ask to join this family group. See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Join a family
    If this is not the desired result, you will need to set up your own family group using an unused Apple ID that is in use for iCloud. See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I am part of a family sharing setup.  Can I have my own payment method so the organizer does not get charged for my purchases?

    I am part of a family sharing setup.  Can I have my own payment method so the organizer does not get charged for my purchases?  If so, how do I set this up?

    Yes.  Just redeem gift cards so that your own account always has a sufficient credit balance.  Here is how it works:
    Family purchases and payments
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • Does family sharing mean all photos are backed up to one icloud account?

    I am unclear what Family Sharing means.
    Does family sharing mean all photos are backed up to one icloud account?  Or simply that we can all see each other's streams.  As it stands now, I understand we can share streams, without having family sharing enabled.  Basically, I want to know if we can be logged into separate icloud accounts yet share photo and document storage as we currently can with dropbox.
    I want to share photo storage and file backup with my wife.  Currently, we both use her apple id to make store purchases and have our own icloud accounts.  This solves some problems, but I still have old itunes purchases(grant you fairly old at this point) that I cannot access when I am logged into her id. 
    I realize we could both use our own icloud account and upgrade storage individually, but this fails the economy test.  We have roughly 60 gb of family photo storage, so we would both need 200 gb plans.
    we both have ipads and iphones.  i simply want us each to be able to take photos and have them automatically saved to one storage solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Shalom

    The only way you can see the contents of an iCloud backup is to restore it to an iOS device. You could restore it to your new phone -- but that would mean you would first have to erase your new phone so I wouldn't recommend it unless you have nothing of value on the new phone. In theory you could backup the new phone, erase it, restore from the old and see what is there and copy the photos to a computer and then erase it again and restore it back from the new phone backup. I would emphasize that is at your own risk as restoring from backups do not always go as advertised. More info: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
