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.

  • Can I have my own payment solution with family sharing?

    We have family sharing and we have a credit card on my husbands account and he's in charge of the family sharing. I would like to be able to choose my own payment solution sometimes and not have to go through the one registered on him all the time.

    Anna,
    Buy iTunes gift cards, and redeem them to your account.  As long as your own account has a credit balance, any purchases made by you will be charged to your own credit balance, and will not hit the Family Organizer's credit card.
    Here is the document for your reference:

  • L added her sister R to a family plan. Can R have her own itunes account for syncing the phone and downloading her own apps, or must she always sign in using L's account and password?

    So, if R wants to sync her iphone 5C but still have L pay for it on the family plan, can R just get her own itunes account for buying music and apps? Or is she stuck using L's account?

    Family Plan as with the cell phone carrier?
    Is so, the iTunes account or Apple ID is not related to the type of cell phone plan an iPhone is under.
    Will the sisters being using the same computer and iTunes library?

  • I'm part of a family sharing group. How do I use my iTunes balance to purchase apps?

    I'm part of a family sharing group, but I have a balance on my iTunes account. How do I use that balance to pay for apps, instead of using the organizers shared payment method?

    Laker Fan,
    It should be doing it that way.  See below for the official Apple description.  If it is not working as stated, contact iTunes Customer Service.

  • I already have a valid payment method for my iTunes account, but can't get past the Family Sharing setup prompt telling me to add a payment method . What to do?

    I had the same problem and found a bunch of others did, too.  Unfortunately all the posts had no responses!  Anyway, I previously had my payment method linked to my paypal.  I tried changing it to my credit card and it worked.  Don't know if there's a bug with using paypal but that seemed to be the culprit for me.  Good luck!

  • App purchase after family sharing Setup

    Hi,
    I have set up family sharing and my wife installed an App that I have previously brought and we have been charged for this purchase.
    Should we have been charged?
    Who do we contact to try and get this refunded?
    cheers
    D

    Is it exactly the same app, and it was bought by the same account that you are using ? If it is and it was (and it's not a temporary store holding charge) then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    Hi Saramos,
    When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
    Family purchases and payments
    When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
    As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -

  • To download shared content, your family must have a valid payment method

    I'm trying to share movies bought on my account with my son and keep receiving the message "to download shared content, your family must have a valid payment method". I already have a credit card linked to my account. Help?

    Hi Mel3b,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with Family Sharing. If you are getting the "valid payment" alert message when you alreadyt have a credit card on file, you may want to try re-entering the card details on the account, even if you know they are currently correct.

  • "the path does not exist" error opening shared adobe files on XP machine

    We recently upgraded a mac mini from Tiger (10.4.11) to Leopard (10.5.X) we updated to the most recent 10.5.
    We have an office with 3 macs and 1 XP.
    All users connect to the Mac Mini via SMB sharing.
    Everyone Authenticates as the same admin user.
    *The XP machine can open and save all file types EXCEPT Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files.*
    They are using CS3.
    The mac and XP users could open save and share all files prior to the leopard update.
    We used the "Archive and Install" option to upgrade to leopard.
    The shared files had the "unknown Group" error which we solved by adding them to the ADMIN group. This step changed the error message the the XP user was receiving.
    I have tried many networking fixes, including group policy on windows, turning off IPv6 on the Mini, but we cannot open or save files directly from Illustrator.
    When the file
    We can move files to the XP desktop then open and save. Files saved on the XP machine can be moved back to the mini and opened directly by all of the Mac users.
    Any guesses why this might be occurring?

    There are actually two separate error messages received by the windows user when trying to open files off of the Mini.
    "the path does not exist" and "this file cannot be found".
    This happens when we navigate directly to the file with windows explorer.

  • How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. 

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.

  • When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

    Hello JimS19,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:
