How to download media to an iPad from a shared account?

Hi guys,
My family has several Apple computers with different Apple IDs. To enable my family to view the media content on my machine I have enabled the "Family Sharing" feature within the OS. We all can enjoy the movies and music that I have collected however my wife is leaving to travel abroad for a long trip and wishes to take along with her some of our movies and music. Even with our sharing enabled I don't see a way to actually copy media to her iPad.
I have have however, noticed on all our iPads under the "Movies" tab we have several movies in our collection with the iCloud symbol in the lower right corner. Those files can be transferred to her iPad, but they only represent a small percentage of our library. My question is how can I manage my iCloud content so that I can copy more media to my wife's iPad?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi Talon325,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to download iTunes Store content to your wife's iPad using Family Sharing, but all of your content isn't visible.
Be sure to use the steps in the "Download content from family members" section of this article when accessing your family's shared content:
Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing - Apple Support
If you don't see all of your purchases, make sure that they are not hidden in your iTunes Store account:
If a family member has hidden one of their items, no one in their family can see it. Your family member can unhide those items if they want to.
You can find this information and more tips in this article:
If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support
See this link for more information on what can be shared with Family Sharing:

All the best,

HT2534 how can I seperate my sons ipad from my iphone account. He is under my itunes account. I want to remove his ipad form my itune and create his own account

how can I seerate my sons ipad from my itunes account. I want him to have his own account so we don't recieve each others downloads on each others devices.

Hey shpace,
Thanks for the question. You’ll want to sign out of the following services on your Son’s device:
- Settings > iCloud
- Settings > Messages
- Settings > FaceTime
- Settings > iTunes & App Store
After doing so, your Son may create his own Apple ID, so long as he meets the minimum age requirements. Note that all purchases made up to this point are associated with your account, so he may either need to repurchase this content, or continue to utilize your account to download these past purchases.
Create an Apple ID.

How to download apps to an ipad from a pc

How can I load apps from a PC browser to an iPad whne iPad not available to me?

You can't download apps from a browser, the only place that you can get apps for an iPad is the App Store app directly on your iPad, and the app store on your computer's iTunes. If you download them on your computer's iTunes, then you can sync them to your iPad by connecting your iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of you PC's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then on the right-hand side of iTunes use the Apps tab to select and sync them to the iPad.

How do I remove an old ipad from my account

How do I remove an old ipad from my account

Remove it in which way ? You can remove it from being registered to your account via this page : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
If you want to use a different account on the iPad for downloading content then you can tap on the id in Settings > Stores, but any content on the iPad remains tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that account will be able to download updates to its apps. Using iTunes Match, re-downloading past purchases or using automatic downloads may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

You can only download and install from the app store. So unless turbotax has an app in the app store you can't use it on an iPad.

When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Question
When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

My ipad and my ipod were both stolen during a robbery at our home. How can I deauthorize both of these without having them in my possession? I did delete the ipad from my itunes account.

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer.

How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer??? Looking to download some videos people created using Dr. Jean music. My kid used Dr. Jean in preschool and wanted to keep singing them at home.
Looking for a friend that doesn't use a computer. I myself have downloaded some kids educational stuff and added to itunes and then put on ipod/ipad using firefox.
Is there an easy way, so they don't go to the photo roll??
thanks in advance.

There are some Apps you can use, but be careful they will only download these videos inside the App, so you won't ba able to play them in your video app or share them.
Most popular is the app called "Video Download" but there are a lot of alternatives for free and even with more quality which you can pay for.
