My child can't see my purchases under family sharing and nothing is blocked?

my child is under me in family sharing but he can't see any of my music or apps to put on his iPad mini. What am I doing wrong? I have sharing on and nothing is blocked.

Can't see member Purchases with Family Sharing

Okay, I wonder if someone can help with this. I setup Family Sharing and was able to add the members I wanted. When I go to the AppStore, i'm able to see their name under the Family Purchases", however when I click on their names, I can't see their purchased. I just get something that says "you have no purchases". I follow the steps on the Apple Article title "If you don't see you family's shared content" and that didn't solve the issue. I also made one for the members to download a free that was shareable, to verify and I still couldn't that one either. In addition, I verified that the email under the Family Sharing was the same for ITunes & AppStore under the setting. Does anyone has solution? I'm not sure if the issue is because I have an older iPhone. I still have the iPhone 4S

I have the same issue - interestingly, I am able to see iTunes purchases. It's just app store purchases that aren't showing up.

Can I be a part of family sharing and use my own credit card?

Hello SamLupien,
As detailed below, all purchases are billed to the Family Sharing organizer.
With Family Sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—agrees to pay for any iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases that other family members initiate while they're part of the family group. This also includes ongoing subscription purchases initiated by family members, such as iCloud storage, iTunes Match, and Newsstand subscriptions.

Unable to see any purchases in Family Sharing

I know iOS8 is completely new, but has anybody messed with Family Sharing yet? I set it up, and invited my husband. We both have "share purchases" turned on, the credit card is set up fine. On my iPad, if I go to the Purchased link in the App Store, it says "to start sharing purchases, finish setting up family sharing in iCloud" where iCloud is linked. I click on that, it brings me back to the Family Sharing preferences, and it's completely unclear what else isn't set up. I read through the few Apple FAQs on this specifically Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing and If you don't see your family's shared content and neither helps. I looked through iBooks and Music as well, and still don't see his purchases anywhere (there's no link or anything to his purchases like there's supposed to be).

Hi all,
i had the same problem but have FIXED IT!
Once you have set it up you then have to go back into setting and iCloud on all family devices and click on your name, it will prompt you to enter your Apple ID password. Once you do that on all devices, it then works fine. When you go into the iTunes store, App Store or iBooks, you will see in the Purchased section your family members. Apple could have explained this better. They finally explained it at this link: If you don't see your family's shared content

Can't see new purchases in home sharing

I have home sharing set up on 2 computers. home sharing works just fine, except the new purchases were added to one computer, and they wont show up on the sharing list to add to the second computer.

I have the same issue - interestingly, I am able to see iTunes purchases. It's just app store purchases that aren't showing up.

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:

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

What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically? I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type. With over 500 movies purchased this is a huge pain.

What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically? I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type. With over 500 movies purchased, this is a huge pain. For instance the movie Airport 77 is classified as Drama not action? But it is action? I have to look at both types to find the film. I will stop buying films via AppleTV if this is the way it is going to stay. I am not searching for films in this crazy manner.

Same issue here. Might have to do with size of library. I too have over 300 purchased movies. "ALL PURCHASED" folder disappeared yesterday on all my AppleTV's. My son only has 20+ purchased movies and his still shows "ALL" folder. However, I had him log in under my account and "ALL" folder is missing??? I hope Apple gets this resolved quickly. I too do not want to flip through various Genres looking for movies.

Can I see my purchases on another computer's App Store?

I know how I can transfer software purchased on the Mac App Store to another computer (say between my desktop and my laptop), so this is not an issue.
However, if I have purchased software on my desktop and then log in on my laptop's App Store, I can not see (under the "Purchases" tab) the purchases made on my desktop. Is this normal behavior?
If yes, what happens if I replace my current computer: will I never be able to see my purchase history directly on the App Store under the "Purchases" tab? That would be really inconvenient.
So, the question: is there any way I can see my purchases under the "Purchases" tab of another computer (not the one where I made the initial purchases)?
Thanks!

Hi and welcome.
You don't need to transfer software purchased or free from the Mac App Store to another computer.
Just login to the Mac App Store on any Mac you own with the same Apple ID.
It's a good idea to back up your apps also. Help here for that. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4482

How can i see my purchases history

How can i see my purchases history

For apps? For music? For movies?
For apps go to the App Store and tap on updates in that tab there will be a purchased field where you can look at what games you've downloaded.
In iTunes you go to the app and tap on more in the bottom right corner and then tap purchased and you can see your movies, tv shows, and music all there.
Hope this helps.

HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

Hi Antonfromsamara,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you don't see any of your past purchases from the iTunes Store, be sure you're signed in with the correct Apple ID.
See this article for help with viewing and changing your Apple ID (iTunes Store account):

I see "imac-54f9d5" under the "Shared" heading in my finder. I am not connected to any printers or other Mac devices. Is it possible that someone is remotely accessing my system? How can I figure out what this is?

is it your imac?
is it your your router's name?
are you by any chance connected to another wifi router then your own because the other one was open and not password protected?

I can't see my purchases in itunes anymore.

I can't see my purchases in itunes anymore, the names of the tv shows that I've purchased are there in gray, but when I click on them, nothing happens. They are no longer available for download. Can someone help me figure out why?
It happened after I deleted Safari as my browser and changed over to Firefox and also switched to the Mavericks operating system.

Ditto, since the Mavericks update, the Purchased screen on my late-2012 iMac is just a blank white screen. Works fine on my mind-2013 MacBook Air updated to Mavericks, but not the iMac.

Can't see own purchase or others' purchases on iPhone with Family Share enabled unless iCloud is off. Why?

We have family sharing enabled on 2 iPads and 3 iPhones. It works in iTunes, but in App Store, our daughter can't even see her own purchases. She gets the message "this iTunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different iTunes account than ___________." If we turn iCloud off then she is able to see the purchases again. We've tried logging out, rebooting, logging in, etc. several times. 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.
