Issue with adding an Apple ID to family sharing

I converted an old apple ID to an ID that is a real email address, as the old one no longer was a valid email address.
After creating the new Apple ID I tried to add this ID to the family share as many of the iTunes purchases of songs and apps were done under this ID.
The invitation was sent to the new apple ID email address, but when I tried to accept the invitation, I received an error bubble that said " Invalid Invitation, you are already part of this family". When I went back to iCloud it would show that the invitation was still unaccepted. How do I fix this?

    Yes, simply reinstall from your Snow Leopard installer disc.  The reinstall will not erase the hard drive.  After reinstalling you can upgrade to 10.6.6 with your updater.

  • How do I delete a child apple id from family sharing

    I have (please don't ask me how) doubled up my child's account under family sharing and need to delete one of them.  How do I delete a child apple id in family sharing?
    Any directions gratefully received.  You do not get the normal remove button that you get for an adult.

    Hello javyocks,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Concerning the issue with multiple Apple ID's, please look at the following:
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Take care,

  • Can't create Apple ID new family sharing

    Problem:  error message "can't Create Apple ID" during set up
    Trying to set up iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1) for kid to use as iPod touch.
    Used my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) to set up a family share account for kid- account clearly shows up in my settings.
    When I am setting up the 4S I get to the page requesting to Sign in with your Apple ID.
    When I enter her newly created ID I get the error above.
    Any troubleshooting tips?

    I'm having the same issue. I think it's because Family Sharing (and the associated "Kid" account concept) was a new feature of iOS 8 and is only supported in iOS 8 (and future versions). Here's Apple's requirements page for various iCloud features: System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
    I guess you're stuck upgrading to the latest iOS on your son's 4S. But beware that it's the oldest iPhone that supports iOS 8, and I suspect you'll run into some performance issues. And from experience, kids aren't very patient when it comes to their gadgets.
    Good luck.

    You can delete the old system entry and then try creating the saem again..
    Also while creating mention correct product and version and the installation number.
    You can also use the assistant for this.

  • Any issues with adding this card to my mac?

    I would like to add a card to my mac pro that will enable me to capture video from certain types of HD video cameras.
    1. Do I have a slot available to put in one of these cards?
    2. Are there any potential issues with doing this?
    3. I am guessing that by adding the card, it will create an open port on the back of the mac that will allow me to connect the camera.
    http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
    I have the Dual-Core Intel XeonProcessor Speed: 3 GHz.
    Thanks!!!!

    The Intensity HDMI card is normally used to capture UNCOMPRESSED video from an HD vidcam.
    Lets say, for example you get a Canon HV20 camera - it has both firewire and HDMI outs. The camera, being HDV, uses HDV compression to write to tape. So once video is on tape, you will be capturing HDV encoded video (just fine with FCP). The HDV standards dictate 1420x1080 even though the sensor of the HV20 is a native 1920x1080. But, since non-square pixels are used, consider it 1920x1080 aspect.
    If you hook the HV20 to your Mac Pro using HDMI and the Intensity card, you can capture uncompressed, native 1920x1080 video. However, you better have enormous and extremely fast Raid storage, as it requires sustained data rates roughly, what, 100 times greater than HDV? And you better have a really long extension cord if you plan to use it in the field, as, you must remember, once written to tape it will be compressed HDV video, so the small gain you'll get from native uncompressed 1920x1080 video is only available at the time you shoot, and only out of the HDMI port.
    HDV looks stunning as is, so unless you are a professional with special requirements (in which case I've not told you anything you don't already know), you may want to rethink this.
    If you shoot well exposed HDV video, and edit with FCP or iMovie HD for that matter, and play back from tape to a 1920x1080i HDTV, it is as good as watching the Discovery Channel HD.
    Good luck,

  • How do i add an apple id for family sharing for my husband

    I am trying to set up family sharing and have added my daughters easily but when i try and invite my husband it says we cant as he email address is already associated with my apple id. How can i set him up to use family sharing?

    Go to Settings/Messages. Tap on Send & Receive, then on Apple ID. Sign out, then sign in with his Apple ID and password.
    After doing this you will not be able to use iMessage for your own messages.

  • Apple id/ icould family sharing

    I was hoping someone could help me or point me in the right direction.  I have been using my old mobile me account converted into icloud account for my phone (thankfully paid for by work) on my iPhone 5s and  iPad mini.  Before family sharing was available, I wanted my wife and 2 children to be able to use the apps/music/movies that I had already purchased, so I set them all up on their phones using my apple id (not my icloud ID).  It did create some issues w/ calendar, contact and photo stream sharing as you might imagine, but overall it was fine.  Now with family sharing, I would like to give each of them their own icloud account, but use family sharing so we can all use the same app/music.  How do I switch them?  I have already made sure to do a back up to the cloud, but when I go to settings-->icloud and try to sign out, it warns me that everything on the specific phone that is from the cloud will be deleted from the phone.  I don't want them to lose that data.  What should I do?  Should I back up the info to the computer, instead of the icloud?  Last question, is there anyway to have them share my icloud for storage, documents, etc?  I am paying for a 200g cloud, it seems that the whole family should be able to use this.    Sorry for the long question

    Hello zoebendad,
    First off all, yes I would recommend using your computer for a back up and storing all the valuable information (iMazing.com) is also a great tool for exporting and storing almost everything from your phone(s) on your computer.
    Secondly, unfortunately you cannot share one iCloud storage plan between family members and another thing I would like to mention before you are switching from your current Apple ID model to family sharing: Please note, that thing you buy via "in-app purchase" cannot be shared amongst family members.
    With kind regards,
    David

  • 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.

  • How do we use the same Apple id for Family sharing without syncing podcast?

    We tried to set up family sharing to share apps and music but our podcasts kept updating, syncing and wold get deleted when another member would listen to hem or delete them to make room on their device. Can we share without this podcast issue?

    You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
    Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

  • Can I load an iTunes card to a Child Apple ID under family sharing, so he can buy through there?

    I have created an apple id for my son (he is 10 years old) and I want to load it with credit from an iTunes card so he can use that money for himself. Will the apps bought through his apple id, charge to the itunes card or to my Credit Card?

    Hi arturo218,
    I see that you have some questions about using an Apple ID for a child. While the information you have provided about what you would like to ultimately be able to do is a little unclear, I believe I have some informative articles that will help you achieve your goals. First, here is a basic article about using an Apple ID for kids and using ask to buy:

    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201084
    Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

    You can also set up an iTunes Allowance for your child, which is explained in this article:

  • Multiple Apple IDs and Family Sharing

    i am using the multiple Apple ID setup with an old pre-iCloud Apple ID for purchases (to keep my preexisting music) and a new Apple ID for my iCloud data and new email, etc. I am set up per the Apple support article on multiple Apple IDs.
    now the Family Sharing has been released, I would like to merge the two accounts. Will Apple be providing a way to do this?

    I'm not surprised you haven't seen them on here. The search in these forums is abysmal. I don't remember which I'd seen on here, and can't find it again myself.
    Here's a writeup with screenshots:
    http://9to5mac.com/2014/09/19/ios-8-how-to-set-up-and-use-family-sharing/
    I had a harder time finding out which apple ID an invited family member should use if they have two IDs in the same way that you and I do. It seems that the invited person can do the same - join the family share group with their iCloud ID, then specify the different Apple ID they have been using for their purchases.

  • Wrong apple ID for family sharing purchases

    I use one email address for iCloud and one for iTunes purchases.
    I have signed up to family sharing using my iTunes account, but when a family member requests approval for an app purchase, it defaults to my iCloud email address (the address is greyed out) and I cannot then approve the purchase.
    Any solutions gratefully received.

    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • How can I include two different apple ids in family sharing?

    I originally set up my iTunes App Store using a secondary ID, and set up my App Store account somewhat later using my primary Apple ID. I've now set up family sharing with my wife and son, using my iTunes ID as the organizer. I'd like to include my App Store account within the family group but when I try to add my primary ID I get an error message saying "You cannot send an invitation to your own account." Is there any way of getting my App Store account included in my Family Sharing?
    I realize that it may have been stupid to set these two accounts up with different Apple ID's in the first place, but when I was setting them up Apple's explanations of how the whole ID and billing system were going to work were almost non-existant. So it was not that I did anything that was clearly out of bounds at the time, and it seems like there should be some way of setting things straight now.

    Here's some additional clarification. By "primary ID" I'm referring to the one I use for my mac.com email account. The secondary ID is one that I set up for the iTunes App Store when it started, and I didn't see any need to link it to my mac.com email. Then later, when the Mac App Store got started, I first logged into that using the primary ID without thinking about the connections between the two stores, about which Apple provided no information at that time.
    When I set up the family sharing group I used the secondary ID as the organizer, because I was setting it up primarily for iOS use. So that's the id that I have to invite from, and the id I have to send the invitation to is the primary one. I don't think I could set up a second family share group because Apple appears to recognize both IDs as belonging to me, i.e., to the same real name.
