HT201084 can you limit what kids can share from your account

With Family Sharing, do my kids still have to ask permission to download an app that I purchase? I would like to limit what each kid can have from my purchased apps. For example, if I buy a game on my mac mini Family Shared iTunes, can I then decide which kids can download it, or do they all automatically get it?

Hi,
If you meant "Hide so he Can't... " then the answer is no.
Any Screen Sharing lets the Viewing End the same access as you have.
What you can do is set up a Test User Account on your Mac (System Preferences > Accounts)
This in effect give that User all their own Folders in their Home Folder.
You could put Files, docs and other things in the Public Folder of that account, that you want to "Share, from your Account, so that when you Log in as the Test User they can have access to them.
Public Folders are what other Users on a Mac can "See". They can only Look.
Unless you set up Remote Login in System Preferences > Sharing to behave differently it is also all someone logging in from outside your computer can "see" (like Windows can only see Shared folders).
Once you login as another User your regular User Account is inaccessible apart from the Shared (Public folder only by default) folders.
putting things in the Drop Box in the Test account will make copies of them to do so allowing you to keep unaltered originals.
I hope I have said that clearly enough.

    There's no list available from your end; you need to go to each you think might be and check.

  • How do you delete an existing iCloud email from your account?

    Hi,
    My son set up an iCloud email on my account.  When I open my iCloud email and go to preferences and then accounts, the email he created shows up, but I do not see a way to delete it. Is there a way to delete that email and create my own?
    Thank you.

    Press the minus sign (bottom left, next to the plus sign)
    Select the account before you delete it.

  • Can you limit what file people can d/l while sharing screen

    Pretty darn new to iChat but man it has come in way handy. I'm trying to teach someone to do what I do for work because I will not be around, While I share my screen we've found out we can get files from it to his. Is there anyway to be able to hide file on my computer so he can d/l them or see them while in screen sharing in iChat? Hope that makes sense

  • Can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

    Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

  • What kind of damage to ones privacy if somebody had your appleID password.. what can they pull up from your account..?

    can they look up old emails.. text messages..?

    They can access any data in your Apple ID page, including alternative email addresses. If you have an iCloud account they can access all your emails - they can also delete then or send from your account - and also your contacts list and calendars. They can also go into your Apple ID page and change the password to something you don't know, and lock you out.
    Therefore, if you even remotely suspect that someone has your password you should change it NOW. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and log in with the ID and password, and change your password to something really strong and unguessable.

    Hi there Ira Fletcher,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. Note: While the article was written for printer issues, many of the same troubleshooting steps apply to scanners as well.

  • How do you Deauthorize a machine from your account

    Hi all, I don't know if I'm posting in the right place or not, If I'm not then I'm sorry. How do you Deauthorize a Machine from your account, anybody know? what it is. When I set the account up to buy tracks from Itunes. I was using the same Laptop that I'm using now, Just a differnt hard drive as The old hard drive died on me. I never bought any tracks from Itunes so I didn't have any to lose. I couldn't deauthorize this laptop because I didn't know that the laptop was going to die on me. In went the new hard drive. re-installed windows xp pro & re-installed itunes 8.1 clicked on authorize this machine & it came up with 3 machines out of 5. it's the same Laptop on the account. how to I remove this laptop twice from the account is it possible cheers?, If i do remove 1 of the machines, will I lose the rights to play back the tracks that I've bought today?

    You can't deauthorise 'dead' installations or computers you no longer have access to individually. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • "******* is a desktop app, so you'll want to download it from your computer" - When on your computer

    I'm using Win7 and just looking to download some CC apps to try. Trying to download the trial from the download centre just turns the button into a message that says "Creative Cloud is a desktop app, so you'll want to download it from your computer", but I'm on my computer? I've tried using other browsers, (IE, Firefox, Chrome) none are working. What to do?

    Hi BridgeAV,
    The Creative Cloud app is the one which you install other apps from, you download and install it first, after which the option to install the other apps is available within it. Can you try downloading, installing and launch the Creative Cloud app? It looks like this in the Download Center.

  • You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges

    I've been using PS since version 3. I currently run CS2 on Windows XP service pack 2. I've been using CS2 since it was first released. Now, all of a sudden, anytime I install or uninstall a program, whether it is related to Photoshop or not, when I start CS2 I get a window that says "You are not allowed to continue because your account does not have the proper privileges" and the program aborts. The first time this happened and after I had restarted CS2 for the 4th time it started normally. Since then it requires at least one restart (not reboot)after the error and then CS2 starts normally. Anyone have any idea of what is going on here? The first time it happened was right after I had installed a new HP AIO printer and I thought that may have had something to do with it. However, I have installed a couple of other programs and uninstalled another, none of them related in any way to CS2, and I get the error the next time I run CS2. I have found some posts about this but no answers, and most of the posts were related to Vista, not XP. I need help please.

    there's a section in adobe.com (not adobeforums.com!) where after you log in (seperate log in from this site) you can go to "my account" and then "my registrations". you can manually add registrations there. that's how i've registered most of my adobe purchases.
    ok. just ran through it:
    go to http://www.adobe.com/ (make sure you have flash turned on)
    click "Your Account" in the upper left corner.
    log in with your adobe.com id, create one if you don't have one. this is SEPERATE from the id you log into this forum with!
    click on "View Product Registrations"
    click on "View Adobe branded products registrations"
    if you have any registed packages, they'll be listed. at the bottom of the page click on the button that looks like this:

    I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

    If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
    Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

  • HT5035 Do itunes deduct money from your account when you redeem a voucher? I ask only because it appears to be doing exactly that to mine, and before anyne asks I was stilll £3 in credit.

    Does itunes deduct money from your account when you redeem a voucher, because it seems to hve done exactly that to mine. I had £3 credit but when i added £15 i ws left with less than £18.

    First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift.  If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
    If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have the balance left that you think. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error again can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
    If you confirm that you should have a higher balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • ERROR MESSAGE: "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."

    I just sigend up for Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm trying to install Photo Shop onto my desktop computer.  When I click the download button I receive an error message saying "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."  I cannot move forward with the download.  Any advice on how to troubleshoot this problem?
    Thanks.

    In my case it's Illustrator and I'm trying to reinstall it. Clearing the cache and using another browser were no help. When I use IE instead of Chrome, an authentication dialog opens to ask permission for CC Desktop to launch, but when I "Allow" it, all that happens is that the CC app opens and gives no indication of a dowload or installation taking place.
    I've always been a strong advocate of CC and was one of the earliest adopters (May 2012), but this is the end of the love affair. I need this fixed immediately. I have work to do. If I had a set-up file sitting on my computer or a disk, I would have no problem right now.
