ICloud Family Sharing - no iTunes shown?

Why can't I view or share with my family my music from iTunes? Photos, movies are sharing. The iTunes icon does not show on my iCloud settings on my phone.I

iTunes doesn't appear in Settings>iCloud because iCloud doesn't sync music, it only let's you access previously purchased music from the iTunes store.  You should be able to share your previously purchased music with other members of the family group from the purchased section of the iTunes store app on their devices, as explained here: Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing.

    Under iCloud family sharing for iTunes is a family member other than the organizer able to make purchases?

    Any member of the family group can make purchases, but they are all charged to the organizer's credit card.  For children (under 13) you can also enable Ask to Buy, and their purchases will require your approval (see Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids).

  • ICloud family sharing and iTunes Match

    Apple,
    I have setup iCloud family sharing accounts for my household as it is definitely a more convenient way to 'approve' of apps for my kids' devices. Unfortunately, I discovered that Apple has not included the ability to share iTunes Match content to family users. This creates a problem as the kids don't have separate computers and I don't intend to create separate iTunes libraries for them on the same computer where I would end up having duplicate libraries. Even if I accept that issue I would have to subscribe to match for 4 people in my house to the tune of $99.96 a year. This is NOT feasible and so now I find my self evaluating the benefit/future need for even my iTunes Match subscription. At this point, I am moving all of my music that was "matched" to my NAS and will have everyone access it using an iOS app. The thing is that this doesn't fit the, "it just works" commitment that Apple offered to it's users. It may be that you are limited by the labels/RIAA and they will not allow you to pass the matched content through family sharing but you are making a compelling case for my to just drop my Match subscription even though I have subscribed to it since you first offered it. My subscription is up for renewal in January 2015 so let's see if you fix this issue by then.

  • 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.

  • Family sharing and iTunes credit

    hi all,
    my partner has set up family sharing and I have joined it. I understand that one credit card is used for all members (although I think this somewhat daft). My problem is that I only ever really use iTunes vouchers. I have just trie to purchase a film and it is telling me the family sharing organiser needs to authorise my purchases for the joint payment method. Firstly I don't want to use the joint payment method, my iTunes credit covers the cost and secondly I don't want to have to wait for someone to accept something every time I want to make a purchase, but I do want to share my puchases. Is there any way around this and when she accepts it is it going to use my store credit?
    thank you for your comments.

    This is my account info for iTunes & AppStore:
    This is the payment info in iCloud Family Sharing settings:
    Obviously I was able to change the payment info in iTunes/App Store. What do I have to do to make that carry over to iCloud?

  • Hide Certain Books from iCloud Family Sharing

    How can I hide specific books from being shared on iCloud Family Sharing?
    I can see that going to the iBooks app>Store>Purchased on OS X allows me to hide specific books.  But doing that hides the purchase from all my devices as well as all accounts in Family Sharing.  What if I still want to be able to view the purchase myself without them being shared?  Can I enable only specific accounts to be able to view a book while hiding it from other accounts?
    Can any of this be done on iOS, or is hiding of anything but iPhone apps only permitted when managing from iTunes or iBooks on a computer?
    What about managing sharing of other media like music, TV shows, and Movies?  It looks like hiding any of that can only be done through iTunes on a computer and it hides it from all devices and accounts instead of being able to choose who can view it and who can not.

    iTunes doesn't appear in Settings>iCloud because iCloud doesn't sync music, it only let's you access previously purchased music from the iTunes store.  You should be able to share your previously purchased music with other members of the family group from the purchased section of the iTunes store app on their devices, as explained here: Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing.

  • HT5622 My family shared an itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account just for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the other account to my new account?

    My family shared an Itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account solely for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the family account to my new account?

    In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so.  You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
    That's all you should need to.  Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.

  • Can we use more than 1 credit card for icloud family Sharing?

    Can we use more than 1 credit card for icloud family Sharing?
    We are grown up, with our own credit cards, own incomes, and own financial.
    But we would like to share apps, music, photos, books, vidéos etc.. like any other family.
    No one (even the parents) wants to pay for everyone's purchase.
    Other question: will it cancel all payment informations from family members account?

    not sure about pre-paid cards, but I know you can use 2 different credit cards though, I chatted with an apple rep last night, and she told me I can use 2 credit cards to buy something I wanted on the apple store website, so I acted as if I was buying a macbook air, went to checkout, and there was in fact the option of using 2 cards, which I thought was crazy since so many people have said that you can not use 2 cards. I'm glad I asked a rep

  • ICloud Family Sharing - can't purchase apps with iTunes Credit

    My wife and I previously shared the same AppleID on our phones.   When the family sharing became available, it seemed the perfect approach for what we were accomplishing.  I upgraded my wife's phone to 8.x and then moved her back to the Apple ID that I had initially created for her.  I invited her to join the family and completed that setup.
    We then had some iTunes gift cards that she had received and so loaded those to her iTunes account (wife's AppeID) on her iPad.  However, when we attempt to purchase apps on her iPad, it insists on purchasing from my AppleID via my credit card rather than using the iTunes credit.
    Any suggestions?  I've seen posts that iTunes credit cannot be transferred.

    Nope, not actually. The only restrictions Alberta places on gift cards are the following:
    * Not allow expiry dates on gift cards, gift certificates, and vouchers that have been purchased and have monetary value
    * Eliminate inactivity fees, also called dormancy fees, that reduce the value of gift cards the longer they go unredeemed
    * Prevent businesses from not honouring gift cards for purchases that are
    more or less than the value of a gift card
    * Require merchants to fully disclose any restrictions on use of a gift card on both the actual card and its packaging
    To further my point, Apple definately does not abide by the last law (at least in the rest of Canada), as they say nothing on the card or its packaging about not being able to buy apps with it.

  • Family sharing and iTunes Allowances

    My daughter is on family sharing so that she can access music she purchased on my account before she had her own account AND I have created an iTunes allowance for her for new purchases to limit her spending on her account. Should her new purchases come FIRST from her allowance instead of my card? So far all her purchases are being charged to my card. Her allowance does show up on her account, so I know her account has been properly credited with the funds. Is there a better way to give her access to previously purchased music/apps on my account (without giving her access to my credit card)? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hi yosemitedoran,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  If I'm understanding your question ... your daughter has two different Apple ID's?  If so, she can't use iTunes Allowances on the Apple ID she is using for Family Sharing.
    Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201088
    Start a family group
    One adult in the family—the family organizer—can set up Family Sharing for the group. 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.

    I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?
    First, copy all of your purchased content so that it's on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with.
    iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers

    Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. After your computer is authorized for all of your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • Family Sharing and iTunes store error

    I have setup family sharing using my wife's Appleid as the organizer.  Everything was setup and working great until my daughter got an iPhone 6 for her birthday.  After finishing setting up her phone she now gets the following message in the iTunes store if she is logged in with her account or if she is logged in with my wife's account:
    This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than [email protected] Learn More.
    She gets this message when she goes to the App store on the iPhone 6, goes to the Updates page, and clicks Purchased at the top.  On her iPad she instead gets a My Purchases link, and links to purchases from the other Family members.
    I have checked the various iCloud and App Store settings and they are the same between her iPad that works and her iPhone that does not.
    Any ideas?

    Update...I now notice:
    Going to: App Store>Updates>Purchases:
    1)  The message “This iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account other than <her iCloud ID>...”  Is now showing up on my iPhone and can no longer see any of my purchases or hers. 
    2) The same message above is now showing on my iPad mini (it didn’t before).  But, I can still see both hers and my purchases on my iPad mini. 
    3) The message "This iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iCloud account other than <my iCloud ID>…” still showing on her iPhone and she still can’t see her or my purchases.
    iTunes Family Sharing still works fine.
    Note: If I Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store then log out of my Apple ID, then go to App Store>Updates>Purchases and log into my Apple ID from there, My purchases show up (not hers). I then toggle between Updates and Purchases and the message pops up and unable to see any purchases, again.  Same thing happens when I do it to her phone except her purchases show up (not mine).
    I emailed this update to Apple...waiting for a reply.

  • ICloud Family Sharing

    I have set up Family Sharing with 3 other people in my family.  I am the organiser.
    Two members of the family have identical iPads running IOS 8.1.2.  One of them can see my purchased films and download them whilst the other cannot.  It says that I do not have any purchases to share
    I have checked that I am sharing all my purchases off my iMac (running Yosemite).  All members of the family can be seen on both devices.
    The iPad user with a problem has logged out and back in to the iTunes store and out and back into iCloud but nothing has changed. I have also logged in and out of both to no avail.
    The only thing different with the user with a problem is that her iCloud account is a free one.  All the others are existing paid-up mac.com account holders.
    Has anyone any idea what more I can do as family sharing under these circumstances doesn't work?
    Regards

  • 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. 

  • Family sharing one Itunes account, want to remove all of their computers content from my library... help
