I am trying to set up family sharing and do not have the setup option when logged in, help!

Hello Carney10,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you say you do not have the setup option for Family Sharing, that seems like you log into the iCloud System Preference but the "Set Up Family" button is not there.
Is your Mac updated to Yosemite?
Family Sharing - Apple Support
iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality.
Where in the setup are the options not available or working?
OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
Best regards,

  • I'm trying to set up Family Sharing. My settings show that the people I chose are there but I don't see any shared information. How do I access the shared info?

    I'm trying to set up Family Sharing. My settings show that the people I chose are there but I don't see any shared information. How do I access the shared info? All computers are using Yosemite 10.10.1 and are new 13" MacBook Pros.

    Hi wmcknigh,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article below should help you resolve the issue with shared content not appearing after setting up Family sharing on the MacBook Pros.

    Load the drivers and you should then be able to add it in Print Center.

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

    You do not have iOS 5 or later installed. You need to connect to your computer and update using iTunes.
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    My Envy 7645 does not have the grayscale option in advanced set up to print in black and white

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Envy 7645 does not have the grayscale option in advanced set up to print in black and white, on Windows 7. I am happy to help!  It is possible, that you may only have the basic driver installed, instead of the full feature software and drivers. I would recommend to try our HP Print and Scan Doctor first, to see if ti can resolve the issue automatically. Otherwise, please try the following steps:  Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.Create a new user account.

  • Set up family sharing and now everyone has unique Apple ID linked to one organizer. Now new accounts can't update appa

    Set up family sharing with everyone having their own Apple ID. Worked great but now my husband cannot update his appa as it says they were added under a different ID. His id is linked to ge main id which was the original ID.

    Hey Crowley,
    Applications downloaded from the App Store need to be updated using the Apple ID used to initiate the download, whether they were purchased or brought in under Family Sharing. If your husband got these apps while using a different Apple ID, he will need to sign in using that Apple ID in order to update them. See this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • If I set up Family Sharing and add my wife, can she still make purchases on her own accountß

    I am considering setting up Family Sharing for may family. I would be the organizer. If I add my wife, would she still be able to make purchases on her own account, or would all purchases be made on my account?

    Purchases would be made to her apple account, but to your credit card. She can also add itunes gift card to her account (appleid) and her gift card will be charged first.

  • Trying to set up family share and the invitation does not show the accept decline option so we can't accept the invitation.  Anyone know how to fix?

    invitation to family share does not have the accept or decline option to choose

    Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
    For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
    For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
    I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

  • I am trying to figure out how I can get my library transferred to the Honda Accord 16gb hard drive?  I have purchased music of off I tunes and do not have the physical CD.  Anybody with any suggestions on how this can be done?

    I am trying to figure out how I can transfer my library to my new 2014 honda accord that has an internal 16gb hard drive.  The manual for the car says that it needs to be original CD's but I have purchased alot of the albums/songs I have from I tunes therefore not having the original CD.  Can someone help me with this as I dont want to load each CD into the player to record and have some albums that I purchased off of I tunes that I would like to be on the hard drive.

    If Honda says you need the original CDs, you need the original CDs.

  • HT1349 I've been desperately trying to locate my iPad for 3 days now.  I'm traveling in the Middle East and do not have the Serial Number with me.  The iPad was linked to my iPhone, how can I either locate the iPad, lock it, or find the Serial Number usin

    I'm trying to find my iPad but I'm traveling and don't have the serial number.  I cannot figure out how to use my iPhone to locate it.  Can anyone assist?

    Download the Find My iPhone app from the App Store to your iPhone.
    Then, launch the app, log in with the Apple ID & password used for your iPad.
    Note that unless you had enabled the FMiP function on the iPad under Settings > iCloud, you will not be able to track the device.

  • Clicked on a lightroom template and now can't get it to go away when trying to print my photos. How can I remove the template option when I want to print photos?

    Using Lightroom 5 on Mac. Trying to print photos and clicked on a lightroom template to see what it was about. Now all the photos i want to print apply this template and I can't figure out how to clear this template. HELP!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I'm trying to reset Macbook Pro to factory.  I have the disk, but when I try to reboot from the disk, holding down "c", it just goes straight to installation.   Any help is appreciated.

    I read the directions from Kappy on how setting my Macbook Pro to factory settings.  I put the OS disk in, rebooted while holding down 'c'. I got the choose language, but then it goes to 'installation', no menu.  Am I doing something wrong?

    Erase and Install Snow Leopard
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
          appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.
