How to hide iBooks in family sharing?

I am attempting to hide specific books from being downloaded or even being able to be seen in iBooks from family sharing. I really don't want the kids to see the books my wife is downloading and reading, not even the title when they attempt to go into iBooks and download other purchases. I know in the App Store for apps, I can just go to purchased and slide left on the app and click hide, but I can't do the same when in iBooks. Is there another method or can it be done at all?

Whhat about photos already in iCloud when the family sharing is set up? Will the family members automatically have access to all my photos in iCloud?

How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have. I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging. How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

Hey Wendaroski,
I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

How do I see the Family sharing invitation on the target device?

How do I see the Family sharing invitation on the target device? I sent it from my iPhone but I don't see it on my wife's iPhone. Where should she look to see the invitation I sent?

The invitation should show up as a notification on the lock screen. If it's not there, go to Settings > iCloud > Family Sharing and the invite should be there. If it's not, double-check the Apple ID on the other phone and hit "Resend Invitation" on your phone to try again.

How do I set up family sharing when one family member doesn't have an apple id but is currently using mine?

I am trying to set up family sharing for my wife and me. I have a Macbook pro (running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) and an iPhone 6. My wife has an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4s. All software is up to date. Currently we have one Apple ID which has both of our email addresses. Do I need to delete one of the email addresses and open up a new apple account with that email address? Will we lose anything if we do that?

Hi jas717,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Because there are only two of you, the solution that I may recommend for sharing content would be to use one Apple ID (the one you already have) for iTunes and App Store purchases between both of you. This will allow the both of you have access to the same purchased content. If you would like to have different Contacts, Calendars, etc., you can create a second Apple ID for use with iCloud. This will allow you both to have separate iCloud information but still have access to all purchased content from iTunes and the App Store.

Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store purchases
You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases. You might need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.

How do i set up family sharing?

My phone isn't allowing me to set up a family sharing account with my family. The message keeps popping up saying that "only an adult with a valid iTunes & App Store payment method can set up Family Sharing. Ask a parent to set up Family Sharing from iCloud Settings." I am the parent of the family, therefore why is it not allowing me to create the account?

How do I set up Family Sharing for my kids without owning a device myself?

My kids received iPads for Christmas. I neither have an iPad nor an iPhone, but I would like to set up Family Sharing. How can I do this from my account without owning one of said devices? I have installed iCloud for Windows, but I cannot log into it (valid iTunes account, but not set up for iCloud).
I cannot be the only parent in the world whose kids have iPads, but I don't.
Many thanks

Have you tried rebooting the home computer?

Previously everyone in my family shared my iCloud account info. How do I upgrade to Family Sharing?

I'm the only person with an iCloud (iTunes) password. Is everyone required to have an iCloud password under family sharing?
What steps do I need to take to upgrade everyone to Family Sharing?

Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are the only one who had an Apple ID and want to start a family group with multiple people using only one Apple ID. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

How to get iBooks into file sharing?

How do you use file sharing with iBooks app on iPad2? I cannot get the iBook app into the column under file sharing. Can not drag it there and then unable to utilize file sharing (want to transfer a pdf into iBooks).

There is no file sharing for ibooks.
You sync the same way you do video or music.
If you are manually syncing, just drag and drop it on the iPad icon in iTunes.
Otherwise do this-
Straight from Apple:
Syncing and saving PDFs
To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, simply drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library.
To sync a PDF to iBooks on your device:
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the Devices list on the left in iTunes 10.1 or later.
Click the Books tab in the resulting window.
Ensure that the Sync Books checkbox is enabled.
If iTunes is set to only sync selected books, be sure to enable the checkbox next to the PDF you want to sync.
Click Sync.

Describe Family Sharing using Quicken 2015

I can't find a description of how family sharing works. Quicken 2015 has Family Sharing enabled. I want to have Quicken 2015 program which I recently purchased accessible from two different user accounts on family computer with each user having a different Quicken 2015 datafile. I have already successfully created a datafile under my user account. Does Family Sharing allow me to set up a different datafile under my parent's user account? How do I register a Family Sharing program in the second user account?
Any pointer to a description of Family Sharing would be helpful. I tried to locate a description of it in Mac App store but couldn't find one. Thanks for your help.

That's a question for the Quicken 2015 support personnel or user's forum.
The following is from this Apple document: OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
Family Sharing lets up to six members of your family share their iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases, a family calendar, and family photos, all without sharing accounts.
