Prevent other family members apps wanting to install on my device?

Hello
My family, we have 2 Mac desktops and 2 iPod Touches and 2 iPads.
I noticed when I install an app on my Touch, it shows up on the Apps to update on other family member;s devices, and vice-versa, so we all end up having to install then selectvely delete each other's apps.
We never had this problem before, can anyone advise how we stop this happening?
Thanks.

When you login onto the computer, do you each have a separate user account (this is not an iTunes account?)
Another thing, do you all use the same iTunes account or are their separate accounts for each individual?
If you all use the same iTunes account, you probably have automatic downloads turned on and it would need to be turned off.  You can do this by going to Settings > Store > and then tap each setting to off.

  • Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

  • Family sharing not showing other family members' purchases

    I installed Family Sharing about a week ago.  It worked great, and everyone was able to download music (didn't try apps). Now not listing any family members under Purchased in iTunes (whether on Mac or iOS).  Same for other family members.   In app store, I see other family members listed, but, if I click on it, it says they have no purchases (clearly not true).  Tried all hints at If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support with no luck.  Also, fully disabled family sharing and then re-invited everyone, but still no luck.  Any idea how to correct this issue?

    I have the same issue. I can see my wife's purchases but on her phone, it says that I have no purchases. I also tried If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support and disabling family sharing and re-inviting her. I would also like to know how to fix this.

  • I have been sharing an apple ID and icloud with other family members. How do I change my iphone so as to create my own account?

    I have been sharing I-cloud with other family members. How do I change my i-cloud setting on my i-phone so as to creare my own account?

    If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account.  To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else.

  • Can family members added as part of the Family Share feature of iOS 8 really erase other family members devices with the Find My iPhone feature?

    I initiated a Chat session with Apple Support to see if this was really possible.  The answer I got was that it DID seem possible at this time.  If this is true, then Apple may want to look at giving the sharing device the option to disallow other family members from erasing that device remotely (or playing sound, entering lost mode).
    I would be comfortable allowing my wife to lock my iphone or erase it remotely if needed, but I would not want any of my kids to have that ability.
    Can somebody else confirm this could be done?
    My case # with Apple is: 668372718

    Good day,

    Just tested this.  You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase.  You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

    When I am home, calls to my iPhone 5 also go to my other family members' iPhones.  How  can I get this to stop happening?

    Or better yet, create and use new Apple IDs for others in your household. You could always use different Apple IDs for iCloud services (like iMessage and FaceTime) and iTunes and App Store., but it's even easier to share purchased content now with Family Sharing.

  • My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why?

    My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why? I have home sharing on so my MacBook pro, iPad, and iPhone can be put on my tv. How do I only contol my devices?

    Lots of questions but essentially you want to try three steps:
    Reset the power on the device
    - issue continue?
    Reset all settings from: Settings > General > Reset all settings > Reset All Settings
    - issue continue?
    Restore the devices software: Settings > General > Restore > Retore
    - issue continue?
    You likely have a hardware issue. Visit an Apple Retail Store

  • Problems with iPhone messaging - received messages showing as sent messages and messages sent to one family member gets received by other family members.

    AT&T family plan - 4 iPhones in use by family members (4s, 4g, and two 3g's).  Weird things happen when we text message:
    1.   Sometimes, received messages look like they are sent messages - and no alert is sounded.   The conversation looks like you are talking to yourself.   Sometimes it happens to both parties in a text conversation, sometimes it only happens to one party.   Deleting the message entirely and starting over from scratch sometimes fixes the problems and sometimes doesn't fix the problem.  Once this phenomenon starts in a conversation it is almost impossible to get it to stop.  
    2.     Sometimes text messages to a specific family member get replicated to other family members as if in a group conversation - but group is turned off.   This happens sporadically but it happens.   Quite embarassing when husband and wife are sending private messages then suddenly the kids see the message on their iPhones!   Can't figure out why this happens or what makes it happen, but happens a lot!!!
    Has anyone had these problems or knows how to fix them?

    Be specific.
    Everyone?  or Every Device?
    If every device, does that mean you can no longer share apps?

    Don't do that. iMessage is designed to sync messages between all devices configured with the same Apple ID.
    Everyone should have their own Apple ID. They were never designed to be shared.

  • I am the administrator of my computer with other family members having accts. One member is grayed out and no one can access that acct.  Why and what do I do about it?

    I am the administrator of my iMac with other family members having accts.

    I had put parental controls on it but now I cannot access it or change anything.
    I don't have permission.??

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I share songs with other family members?

    I would like to know how I share songs and movies with other family members who have different accounts.

    - Sync them from a computer. You can sync music and videos from different computers/iTunes library manually. See the manual method  included in:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    - You can also redownload the directly to a device if the device ha iTunes 5 or later by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    However, you may end up with the 90 day wait to. See:

    The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
    I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
    Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
    Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.
    Do I need to have a serial number to reinstall OS X?
    Thankfully No.
