My wife's Apple ID is shown as belonging to a family sharing group, but we can't determine what is the id of the owner. How can she remove herself from the group?

my wife's apple ID is shown as belonging to another family sharing group. We can' t figure out the Apple ID of the 'owner' of the group. Is there any way to remove oneself from a family sharing group when you are not the owner? Or how can we find the log in id (Apple ID) of the owner?

i partially solved the problem, however still need some help. My wife has made purchases under two different Apple ids. I tried t re-set her iPad with her main ID but it is apparently part of a family. I re-set her iPad iCloud using her secondary ID. The sharing of iTunes shows her main apple ID. The settings iTunes is also set to her main Apple id. I sent an invite from her iPad icloud family sharing to her main Apple ID, but when I attempted to consent to join it says she is already a member. So I am guessing this is because in the family set up under her secondary ID that her main id is the iTunes account that is shared. My question is could I change the iTunes shared under her name as owner to her secondary account, then invite her main account to join as a distinct member? I am nervous about doing this for two reasons 1. There is a warning when changing the shared iTunes account that says you can't join another group for 90 days. 2. I may still get the message that her main account is still a member of the group even though it doesn't show up, and then not able to revert back.
if you follow this can someone offer some help,
thanks
note. This whole problem when we had to change a Apple id when we changed Internet service providers.

Can one apple ID belong to multiple family sharing groups?

I'm interested in starting a family sharing group with my siblings (surprise). They have children of their own, however, so if I invite them to my new group, will they also be able to create a different group for themselves with their children?
My thought is that my siblings can more easily share information and photos. I wasn't interested in approving app purchases for their children however so I thought they could create a separate group with their same parent ID for themselves with their children. If I'm thinking of this right, and ID needs the capability of belonging to multiple groups. Is that possible?
Thanks kindly.

Hi Mdbarnharts,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your family members are using the same Apple ID to share purchases, and now you're receiving messages sent and received by your kids.
You can set up and manage Apple IDs for your children through the Family Sharing feature.
You can find more information about Family Sharing and setting up an Apple ID for your kids at these resources:

How do you add an iTunes Gift Card so that all purchases of any members of a Family Sharing Group can use the credit?

How can all family members of a Family Sharing Group use a gift card that has been been applied to the iTunes master account? I added a gift card to our master iTunes account for my grandson, and even though he's a family sharing group member, none of the purchases I have approved from his requests have used the gift card credit. A search of the iTunes support site failed to turn up anything that even remotely addresses this topic. It would seem reasonable to assume that any purchase made by any family member should be able to use the gift card credit since all purchases go through the master account, but this does not appear to be the case.

Regarding your statement about the gift card balance being used if redeemed to the organizers account - http://www.apple.com/feedback.
Regarding redeeming the gift card to the child's account, it is the same as redeeming to yours. You have to be signed in to the iTunes store using the child's apple ID, then redeem the gift card there. If you already redeemed the card on your ID, you won't be able to redeem it again.

Do all the people in family sharing group have to have same last name?

do all the people in family sharing group have to have same last name?

Hi ant_barry,
Happy New Year! The Family Sharing program does not require members of the family to share the same name. Here is some general information for you:
OS X Yosemite: What is Family Sharing?
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19007
Family Sharing lets up to six members of your family share their iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases, a family calendar, family reminders list, and family photos, all without sharing accounts.
One adult—the family organizer—sets up Family Sharing, invites up to five people to join the family group, and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases those family members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. In addition, family members can easily share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar, share their location with other family members, and even help locate another family member’s missing device.
Each family member needs to have an Apple ID he or she uses for iCloud. For a child too young to create his or her own Apple ID, the family organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID and create it on the child’s behalf while adding the child to the family.
To join a family, you must sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. You can be part of only one family group at a time, and you can switch families at most once per year.
Family Sharing is available on iOS devices with iOS 8 or later, Mac computers with OS X Yosemite (v10.10) or later, and Windows computers with iCloud for Windows 4.0 or later.

Hi apples-consecutive-buyer-for-life,
Family Sharing makes all of your past purchases available to other family group members, including most apps. See this article on what content can be shared -
Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
Note also that content can be hidden. See this article -

Sharing contacts using AirDrop, both users are members of the same Family Sharing group.

I'm asking this question for a friend of mine. He contacted me to help troubleshoot a problem where he was trying to share a contact with his wife using AirDrop. They both have new iPhone 5Ss running iOS 8.1. He can send a contact to his wife's iPhone but she can't send to him. While troubleshooting we noticed we could change the behavoir by changing the settings of who was a Parent/GardIan and who was an Adult in Family Sharing. For example we could change the behaviour so that she could share a contact with him but he could not share with her. We were never able to get it to work where they could share with each other both ways. It was one way only.
Anyone else who is part of a Family Sharing group having trouble using AirDrop to share between iPhones, particularly contacts?

Hi,
The way to do this would be to first have a Lookup on the dimension based on the properties you want. You can then use this retrieved value in the REC statement.
This is an example for it:
*DIM CATEGORY=CATEGORY
*DIM TIME=TIME
*LOOKUP RATE
*DIM ENTITY2="DEFAULT"
*DIM RATE=ACCOUNT.RATETYPE
*DIM SOURCECURR:INPUTCURRENCY=ENTITY.CURR
*DIM DESTCURR1: INPUTCURRENCY="USD"
*DIM DESTCURR2: INPUTCURRENCY="EURO"
*ENDLOOKUP
*WHEN ACCOUNT.RATETYPE
*IS "AVG","END"
*REC(FACTOR=LOOKUP(DESTCURR1)/LOOKUP(SOURCECURR),CURRENCY=u201DUSDu201D)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
Hope this helps.

I have just bought apple tv which allows me to play music through airport express but when chose to watch a movie the audio comes from the tv and does not give option listen through other speakers served through airport express. Can you help me ?

No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

I'm part of a family sharing group. How do I use my iTunes balance to purchase apps?

I'm part of a family sharing group, but I have a balance on my iTunes account. How do I use that balance to pay for apps, instead of using the organizers shared payment method?

Laker Fan,
It should be doing it that way. See below for the official Apple description. If it is not working as stated, contact iTunes Customer Service.
Family purchases and payments
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's card.

DEAD IN THE WATER--Can't remove email from server-can't receive new emails

I stopped receiving emails this morning upon startup, steps taken:
restarted mail
rebooted
backed up all inboxes
searched how to see message on server, found them and and can see one that says:
From: unknown sender Subject: No subject Date Recd: Today Time is always the current time.
I read a very old post from David Gimeno Gost who said:
"You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded by means of Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
Try removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded and/or the first message not downloaded yet (i.e. the message that Mail appears to be choking on)."
I can't remove it from the server either by itself or grouped with other messages. Interestingly enough, I can receive emails on my iPhone and I changed my email address in my Apple info and received the verification email, but still nothing else that's sitting on the server.
Went into my email account through Webmail to delete it and can see all emails except that one
opened Mail on my mac mini, I couldn't receive email there for my email inbox, however I was able to receive email in my employees inbox on the same server but different email address.
Is this a Charter issue or a Mail issue. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks Renee

I finally figured it out. The server had to be refreshed by calling my hosting service. 9 hours of diagnosis and a 2 minute fix.
Hope that will help someone else:)

Family Sharing group has an iTunes card is that "money' available to everyone?

If a member of the Family Sharing group has an iTunes card is that "money' available to everyone?

Hi cazclif68,
Purchases made by a member of a Family Sharing group are billed to the credit or debit card set up as the group's payment method, unless the family member who makes the purchase has gift or store credit. That gift or store credit is not available to other group members. See this article -
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support

I've had three laptops all connected to my itunes account, one was stolen, the other broke, how can I remove them from my itunes account?

So, in three years, after getting an iphone and an apple account I've had to replace a laptop twice due to theft or damage. When I link my phone to my new computer, it asks me if I want to connect the computer with the phone and I say yes, but you can only have 5 devices connected to one account, since one was stolen, and the other laptop broke, how do I remove them from my account??

De-authorise all, then authorise the one you still have.

My wife's Apple ID is shown as belonging to a family sharing group, but we can't determine what is the id of the owner. How can she remove herself from the group?
