Hello bartce02,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are part of a family group, there are a few good support resources that help with setting up and using Family Sharing on your Mac.
First, make sure your Mac meets the system requirements for iCloud and Family Sharing:
System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
Next, see the steps at this link to set up Family Sharing on your Mac:
OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
Once it's set up, use these steps to share and access your family's shared content:

All the best,
Jeremy

I want to setup family sharing on my macbook pro

I have a Macbook pro running 10.9.5 and i was invited for family sharing from one of my family members, i got the email and everything and when I click View Invitation it takes me to this website https://www.icloud.com/family_sharing/ and it doesnt give me any other options. How can i get it to work???

Family Sharing requires iOS 8 on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or OS X Yosemite (10.10) on a Mac. Yosemite has not been released to the public yet.

I have an ipad2 and an iPad Air. I want to give the 2 to my mom. I don't her to have access to my information. We will be sharing the wifi. How do I set up separately?

I have an ipad 2 and an iPad Air. I want to give the ipad 2 to my mom, but do not want any of my information on it. Right now it is synced to my MacBook and my iPad Air. We live together and will be sharing the same wifi.
Please help. She is 97 and needs a way to keep in touch with my other sibs.

Follow these instructions to clear your iPad of all your Data.

With that done, you will need to create an Apple Id for her if she wants to use iMessage and/or Facetime.

I can hardly see calendar alerts on macbook. How do I get it back to where I can easily see them?

I have a macbook pro 17" bought in 2011 running OS X Yosemite Processor 2.3GHZ Intel Core i7, Memory 8GB 1333MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512MB.
For the last two days my calendar alerts and notifications are appearing so light that I can hardly see them. How do I get them to show up so I can see them? I have no idea how this started. I have tried looking at Notification Center on System Preferences and changed them from Alert to Banner but it made no difference.
Thanks for your help.

With respect, you actually cannot store folders on the left side of the Dock - only on the right side. I wonder if you're talking about Launchpad, which looks like a silver rocket and shows you your installed applications? It's not actually a shortcut to the Applications folder, though. You can certainly drag Launchpad into the left side of the Dock from the Applications folder.

I want to remove "full screen" and set it back to where I can see the tab bar at the bottom and top of my screen. I want Firefox to go to Google - not Yahoo

I think I am clear about what I want as stated in my question above. Please help

Right-click the empty space next to the Firefox button and choose 'Customize', then click 'Restore Default Set'

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?

Family sharing-child can't see my content or purchase my previous apps

I've followed every step in the Apple support article for family sharing set up and logged in and out of the cloud multiple times but we still can't figure this out? I set my child's new Mini up on family sharing. She has to ask permission and that is working. I can also see all of her content on my iPad. She can't see any of my content. She wants an app that she previously purchased on my iPad. We get a message that says the family already owns it, press okay to download. But, nothing happens? What am I missing?

Nevermind, resetting the mini and logging back in finally worked. Must have been a glitch.

"No family informations available" i cant activate or join family sharing any clues?

Hey guys,
i cant activate the family sharing cause my phone says that it doesnt find any family information is there any option i did forgot? My wife with the same device can activate it and invite me but i cant accept it also. Is it mybe my icloud adress?

I'm not entirely sure for your model/make, but it may be not possible to shut down the intel and use the radeon only. Since the intel is the one physically connected to the screen, so all graphics go through it in any case.
You should however be able to switch off the ati card to save battery power. Which is what I do, still using vgaswitcheroo, since it didn't work otherwise:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/hy … e_Graphics
Or you may try PRIME to use the DGP (ati card) on an application base (for 3-D apps):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME
I think I tried it once, but I don't remember if it worked and I don't need it. Since for real 3-D apps the radeon (ati) driver isn't that good, and OTOH for compositing (desktop effects) the intel is good enough... (Edit: +my laptop heats up too much using the ati.)
What's your purpose ?
Regarding why the ati isn't shown in your xrandr output:
Is xf86-video-ati installed ?
Is the radeon module loaded (output of 'lsmod |grep radeon') ?
Edit: punctuation, clarify

In Settings\iCloud Don't See "upgrade to iCloud drive" or "set up family sharing"

I would like to use family sharing. We have iOS8, but in Settings\iCloud we don't see "upgrade to iCloud drive" or "set up family sharing". I am unsure what else to do. I searched support, but they all see to assume we can see these settings.
Help!

How to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing

Can someone please explain to me in detail how to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing, none of the information I have so far found in the documentation helps at all, in fact it puts you in a constant loop giving the same information over and over again
We have quite a few devices from ipads, iphones and ipods and I need to set-up Family Sharing.
We have our main Apple ID which is linked to our Payment method, I have now got my son a new iPad, I have created his Apple ID and set-up a link via FAMILY Sharing to our main Apple ID.
From what I read we should be able to share our purchased Apps between family members.
So I figured I would be able to get the Apps now via iTunes that are part of the FAMILY Sharing, however when I go into ITunes (latest version downloaded yesterday) I can only see the Home sharing menu item not FAMILY Sharing, so I cannot work out in Itunes how to get Apps that are FAMILY shared. So ok I will try and get Apps directly via the Ipad using the App Store. To test it is working I look for a known paid for App, I then go to download it and it is now asking me to pay for it again.
Can someone please explain to me in detail how FAMILY Sharing is supposed to work and how I get it to work please.
Thanks for your help
Greg

Hey GregWr,
Thanks for the question. The following resources provides some of the best information regarding Family Sharing. Included, you’ll find information on making sure the accounts are set to "Share my purchases”, as well as information on downloading Family Member purchases from the iTunes Purchased section. Please note that some applications are not shareable.

How to stop family sharing on my apple id

Family share is now on, which requires a credit card. I want to remove the card info and use cash gift cards from apple. Family does not allow cash nor paypal. So no family sharing for me. How do I turn it OFF.

See this page : Leave Family Sharing.

New Family Sharing and iTunes Match

Hello to all. With the release of iOS8 and the Beta of Yosemite, I have decided to leverage the new family sharing of the iTunes accounts. The set up works fine and I have gotten it working, just wondering how to get iTunes match to work with it. So pre-iOS8 I had an account "A" that all my iTunes purchases and iTunes Match were done with and then my wife and I both have personal accounts "B" and "C" for iCloud. So basically when I set up a device I would use one of our iCloud accounts (B or C) and then A for iTunes. This allowed for us to both see our purchases and also have access to our music via iTunes Match.
Now that I have put in Family Sharing and we now sign in with our own accounts. The purchases of apps work and we can see each others purchases. But when I goto iTunes we are not able to see the music that is associated with our primary account and it is requiring us both to purchase iTunes Match.
So any help on how to get iTunes Match to work across account with Family Sharing.

This has forced my family to go back to using one iTunes account. It is unfortunate because of all the features family sharing offers. My wife was excited about not having to compete for bookmarks when we are reading the same book, one little example.
be sure to leave feedback at https://www.apple.com/feedback/. I also sent some emails to the major apple blogs out there in hopes that they write about it. I assume the more negative attention the better chance there is a solution, not that this is deal breaking or anything, but still.

HT204053 Can you assign an existing Apple ID to Family Sharing and specify it as a Child account?

Create an Apple ID and added to Family Sharing but want to change it to a Child account. I didn't want to use the @icloud.com address as it already has an existing email address. Is this possible?

Hello chrismccreery,
After reviewing your post, I have located a couple articles that may help you. The first will aid you in setting up an Apple ID as a child in Family Sharing. The second article will explain iCloud email aliases in which you can choose at will in most cases:
For more about Family Sharing:
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
For iCloud email aliases:
iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses - Apple Support
Depending on when you created your iCloud account, your iCloud email addresses and aliases may end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com domains. Learn how these email addresses are granted.
Review these scenarios to see which one applies to you:
If you created an iCloud account on or after September 19, 2012, your email address ends with @icloud.com. Learn more about @icloud.com mail addresses.
If you created an iCloud account before September 19, 2012, or moved to iCloud with an active MobileMe account before August 1, 2012, you have both @me.com and @icloud.com email addresses.
If you had a working @mac.com email address as of July 9, 2008, kept your MobileMe account active, and moved to iCloud before August 1, 2012, you can use @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses with your iCloud account.
In each case, you can sign in to iCloud with either your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account.
If you created one or more email aliases for your account, be aware of the following:
You can change or delete an email alias, but if you delete an @mac.com or @me.com email alias, you can't add it back to your iCloud account.
You can't sign in to iCloud.com with an email alias. Sign in with your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
