I can't set up a Family Sharing account with me as an organiser.

It won't let me set up a Family Organisation account, I am 16 (I know that's complicated) but my family are sort of tech dinosaurs!

I think I resolved this, it was because my account didn't have a DOB set up in it prior to me trying to log in.

  • New iMac 21.5". How can I set up a new user account with access to all the files of the original user account?

    Running Mavericks on a 2013 iMac 21.5". I want to set up a second user account with different settings that meet the requirements of specific software. I need the files to be accessible by both users. I have made both the main and secondary accounts administrators. I have also enabled file sharing for both. Neither account can see the other's files in Finder.
    How can I make all files accessible to both accounts? I read that administrator accounts automatically can see all files on the computer, but it is not working out that way. I have restarted the computer, to no avail.

    Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:

    The server settings are given [http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/setting-up-thunderbird/ here], but the method is for Online account setup.

  • TS3988 How can I set up a new icloud account with a new apple id when I have an old account for which I have lost the password and security questions etc

    I have changed isp and no longer have access to rescue email addresses and have lost my details. I have set up a new apple id and want to set up icloud with this but cant get past the icloud preferences pane with the old address. How do I get around this?

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.

  • HT2731 i live in Cambodia. can i set up an itunes store account with my information in my country? such as my address, phone number, ...?

    why need me to key in phone number in USA? I live in Cambodia.

    FYI, you've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question really isn't related to.
    But, the answer to your question is no. To set up an account in a regional iTunes Store the person must have a credit card drawn on a local bank and an address in the local country to create the account. The Terms of Service of the stores also prevent someone from living in one country and using another store.

  • Setting up iCloud family sharing. Why can I not use my iTunes as a valid payment method?

    Why is iTunes card not a option under payment method. I am wanting to setup iCloud Family Sharing. But I need to give Apple a credit card which I do not have. That is why I use the iTunes card and redeem the money. If it is good enough to use iTunes card when making purchase from Apple iTunes store then why is it not an option when setting up iCloud Family Sharing account.

    You're allowed play the music on up to 5 devices. Each device must be authorised. Unless you can connect the xbox to the apple store to be authorised, you will not be able to play the music on it.

  • Can I have multiple payment methods on my Family Sharing account?

    My family and I all just joined the Apple community, and we set up a family sharing account. However, everyone in our family sharing account would like to use our own methods of payment, (like myself, my dad, etc). Can we do this?

    Hello steevo_711,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning Family Sharing payments. There can be only one payment method which is associated with the family organizer:
    Setting up Family Sharing
    When you set up Family Sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards. You can change the billing method on file in your account at any time in your iTunes & App Store account settings.
    Making purchases
    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. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
    Once paid for, a purchased item is added to the account of the family member who initiated the purchase. In other words, the content belongs to them, much as it would if you were buying them a book or a DVD. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each member will keep the purchases they initiated, even though they were paid for by the family organizer.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Can I set up a family/group subscription?

    Spotify accounts are set up for personal use only. This means we can't offer any kind of shared account.
    The majority of revenue we earn from subscriptions, and the income generated by ads, is paid straight to the music rights holders. They represent the artists and composers. Allowing the use of the account by more than one person wouldn't be totally fair, as many people would listen to music for the cost of a single subscription.
    If you're interested in sharing Spotify with your family or friends, there are a number of features that share music between personal Spotify accounts. 
    One of the best of these is playlist sharing. Send someone a playlist, and get the recipient to "subscribe" to the playlist. Or you can choose to make the playlist "collaborative." This means that you can all add (and subtract) tracks whenever you like.
     

    This is the problem with progressive applications that don't consider how real-world people (read: families) operate.  It's completely conceivable that I would be listening at the same time as my wife or daughter.  NO FRIGGING WAY you'll be getting $30/mo from this family for that.  And I don't buy the whole "it's a royalty thing" because the free account ads are only gratuitous self pimping Spotify ads that yield no 3rd party revenue.
    Let's be a big boy company and recognize the way your listeners use your service.  The difference between the unlimited and premium should stop at the higher bitrate, NOT the ability to playback on mobile.  That's just stupid.  Be reasonable and charge $5/mo for unlimited but add mobile and then allow family to share the same account for $2/mo each additional user.  Worried about people abusing that?  Cap it at 5 or 6 additional users.  If people have a verifiable need for more then make them proove it, AND ALLOW IT.  A lot of companies have figured this out.  Take a look at how iTunes shares with 5 instances - see it can be done.  All you have to do is figure out how to monetize it. </rant>

  • 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 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!

  • Can I use paypal for family sharing purchases?

    Can I use paypal for family sharing purchases?

    Hi muchjk,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    No, the family organizer cannot use a PayPal account for the payment method. The article below provides more information about Family Sharing and supported forms of payment with the iTunes Store.

  • Family Sharing accounts for kids

    I created Mail aliases for my kids as they were too young to have an Apple ID back in the mac.com/me.com days.  Now with Family Sharing, I can create accounts for them (and they are getting older).  Is there a way to convert those aliases to Family Sharing accounts?  I wasn't able to to do this before with a MobileMe Family Pack, but Family Sharing brings a new set of rules on the accounts restrictions.

    I'm afraid that aliases remain tied forever to the account which created them - you can't move them to another account nor turn them into an actual account.

  • Family sharing works with different regional accounts

    So I have my aple ID based in Ireland, and I just setup the family sharing option with my mom living in Portugal.
    Will she see all my purchases even if they are from my country? and more important: can she download them if they are country  store specific?
    Usually if you search for an app that is not available in your country you cannot download it unless you have an account for that specific country.

    All your Applications should be in /Applications folder by default to be accessible to all users and to be seen by updaters. If you created an "Applications" folder within your Home folder, then only you will be able to use those Applications. Otherwise there should be no permissions issues.
    Check Permissions Inside a Home folder:
    • Navigate to /Users/~(Home)/Library.
    • Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
    • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
    • Make sure the user is the owner, with "read and write" access.
    • Click on "apply to all"
    • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.

  • I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

    I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?  I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.

    A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

  • HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'.  When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone'  Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted.  This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.
