How to activate family sharing on iphone4 (ios7)

We have multiple devices an our son uses an iphone4 running ios7. He got an email with familiy sharing invitation, but he can't take part.
Itunes is running under windows 7.
The question is how to enable family sharing on older devices running older versions of ios (ipod4 and iphone4).

See Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support.
Unless you meant Home Sharing, in which case enable the menu bar with Ctrl+B if needed, then use File > Home Sharing > Turn Off Home Sharing.

    Hello Spiky.saeed,
    Based on your post it seems you would like to access Family Sharing via a Windows PC. That is possible, using iCloud for Windows:

  • How To Use Family Sharing on one Apple ID ?

    OK....I like the new family sharing but I got around this in past in creative way.
    I have one AppleID that whole family uses.....no iCloud, only use ITunes to Sync, and on each iPhone or iPad for Text & Facetime I disable in settings all but that phone # and/or email for that user.  Obviously all the emails for the family are loaded/verified in my Apple ID.
    For payment I had no Credit Card on account but bought the kids iTunes gift cards.
    I'm trying to avoid having to setup a bunch of Apple ID accounts.
    I'm hoping I can get best of both worlds........but have not upgraded any device to iOS8 yet so have not tried.
    I'd like to keep the single AppleID, load in Credit Card info, go to Share and invite the other family members, set restrictions, etc.
    However, my question is will/how does the "invite" work if all members are listed under same Apple ID ?
    Thx.

  • How to use family sharing when already sharing the same iCloud account

    My wife and I started separate iTunes account many years ago, and thus made many purchases on each account.  Some time later we started using iCloud, and when we did, we decided we wanted to share the same iCloud account so my wife, for example, could add entries in the Notes app and I'd be able to see them, and vise versa.  In addition, we have another iPhone for our daughter, and with that she has her own iCloud account in use on her phone, however, she is signed into my iTunes account on her phone (so her/my purchases were on the same iTunes account, namely mine).
    Now, years later, Family Sharing came along and I'm trying to figure out how I can also make that work with the iTunes and iCloud setup we currently have.  My hope, with the Family Sharing feature, is that my wife's purchases (on her iTunes account) and my purchases on my iTunes account would be able to be shared.  That said, how should I go about setting up Family Sharing such

    sounds like you only need to share with the other account that your daughter used.  the same id in icloud on wifes devie is fine.  this article will help. Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing - Apple Support Peace, Clyde

  • How to stop family sharing on my apple id

    Family share is now on, which requires a credit card. I want to remove the card info and use cash gift cards from apple. Family does not allow cash nor paypal. So no family sharing for me. How do I turn it OFF.

  • How to setup Family Sharing iOS 8

    Ok, here's a scenario that I'm sure many people will currently be in - a central Apple ID for purchasing App Store items that is shared between family members, and individual Apple ID's for each family member for email, calendar, contacts etc.
    With ios8 family sharing how do you setup so that everyone can still access shared apps from the original "shared I'd" but also operate under family sharing with individual Apple id's?
    Example, say we use the Apple id [email protected] as the current shared ID which has all books, music, apps purchased and has a current store credit balance.  This one is setup as the AppStore ID on each device.  Each family member then has setup as their icloud Apple id a personal Apple id such as [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] for email, contacts, iMessage etc.
    I'm assuming the organiser becomes [email protected] but if that is on my device, can I still invite my own [email protected] on that same device to retain access to my emails, contacts, iMessage etc ?
    Sounds as though Apple has done the right thing for new setups, but not necessarily covered existing users who followed their previous options - which came with its own shortcomings.
    Please help    

    Hello,
    It should be in Settings > iCloud and right underneath your iCloud account at the top, there should be an option to setup Family Sharing. Then it is following the steps outlined. Take a look at the page below for everything on setting up Family Sharing and also creating an account for child that is under 13. I have aslo provided an image of where it should be located under your iCloud account.

  • How to disable Family Sharing

    Tried to set up Family Sharing for wife and two kids.  Disaster.  Everyone is locked out for 364 days. 
    How can I disable Family Sharing? 
    I do not want my purchased content locked up in some Apple beta test.

    Can't I just back out of this Family Sharing debacle and go back to sharing the previous way that worked fine?  Just have everyone in the family use the same AppleID.

  • HT5625 How to setup Family Sharing if you have use a 2nd AppleID with the App Store & iTunes

    We would like to turn on Family Sharing for the 2 of us but we have 3 active Apple IDs.
    Shared Apple ID - used to buy things in iTunes and the App Store
    My Apple ID
    The Wife's Apple ID
    The logical move would be to merge the iTunes Apple ID into my Apple ID then set myself up as the primary.  Next invite the wife.
    Merging isn't allowed.  Not sure how to handle this.
    Maybe set myself up as the primary and invite both the Shared and Wife Apple IDs to join?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Also, you should be able to redownload via iTunes on the computer. See that method included here:

  • HT201081 how to disable family sharing and remove credit card

    I updated all of out Apple mobile devices and set up Family Sharing.  I thought this would be a great idea.  Quickly I was proven wrong.  I liked the idea of linking my wife's account and mine, and the ability to add my kid as a child under my account (with his own itunes account). The ability for each account to be linked was convenient, but my problem, and many others I have seen posting online, is it being necessary to leave the credit card on file.  Second is the premissions setting.  This again is a good theory, but with children and their always wanting new games and other apps, it quickly became inconvenient to have to give permission to download even a FREE app.  So here is what I would like. The option to add the ability to download free apps, and request permission for purchasing apps.  If this in not possible, than the ability to completely disable family sharing, thus allowing me to remove my credit card info from the iTunes system and prevent unwanted purchases.
    If anyone has any suggestions on disabling the family sharing I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Family sharing and members itunes balances?

    Me and my wife just updated to iOS 8 and enabled family sharing with me as the organizer.
    My wife had a concern, though. She has like $10+ sitting in her itunes balance and wants to make sure that she can use it. Since it was a gift to her, we don't want my purchases to affect the balance. And I want her purchases to come out of that balance before hitting my bank account. At the rate she purchases things, it could take years before it is used up. This is the reason why we did not wait to activate family sharing.
    Any confirmation on how this situation would play out?

    Hey Jeriokelive,
    Thanks for the question. If a family memeber has store credit in their account, that credit will be used before the organizer's payment information:
    Making purchases
    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. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

  • 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

  • Family sharing 1 single icloud

    Hi !
    We have 3 devices, each are connected to the same Icloud account for backup, photostream and Locate my Iphone(IOS 7). But each device is using his own Itunes/App Store account for purchase.
    With the family sharing, each member will need to connect to his own Icloud for backup, because I can't add family member since it told me that we are already part of the family. But I cannot see others persons purchases with the current method.
    Do connecting each device to his own Icloud service will allow me to add family member and start sharing music and others with the family?

  • Family sharing two separate iTunes accounts

    My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts from before we were married, and we have maintained separate accounts because we could not figure out a way to merge them.  This means that we frequently have to buy the same app twice in order to have it on both our devices.  Is is possible to merge these separate accounts through family sharing, or must we be forced to choose one family head (and loose all content on the other).  Home sharing doesn't work because he is active duty and we are often in separate locations.

    Hey Tsumommy,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Family Sharing was created for this exact situation. Allowing family members to share music, movies, TV shows, books, and apps from their individual Apple ID accounts. As long as both of your accounts have the same payment information, you should be good to go. Setting up family sharing won’t force you to use one account, nor will it cause you to lose all of those great purchases from the other account(s).
    For more information on Family Sharing, check out the following resource:
    Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing
    https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/
    Being a family pays off in huge new ways.
    Once you set up Family Sharing, family members get immediate access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and apps. Download what you want with a tap anytime you like. All without having to share an Apple ID or passwords.
