Share folder with some family members

Hello,
I have one Imac with several users (wife and kids). I like to share some data with my wife without access by the kids. That means I want to have a folder, where both of us can save files and have read/write access to the files. It seems difficult, that files inherit the rights from an given folder.
What I managed to get was: administrator is changing the rights of the existing files and both have read/write access. BUT if a new file is added, only the person how added the file had read/write access. So I as Administrator have to change the rights anew.
What do I have to do, to pass the rights of the folder to new generated files?
Does anyone know a solution?

Just change your iPhone's sync settings -- with your iPhone connected to iTunes, click on the Apps tab and choose to sync only selected apps, then choose the ones you want loaded. You can also drag and drop them to where you want them on your iPhone.

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:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

I want to share iBooks with another family members iPad without purchasing twice. Devices are synced to two different computers.please advise.....

I want to share iBooks between mine and another family members iPad without purchasing the books twice. Is this possible?

If you have the same AppleID then just download on the second iPad by going to Purchases in the Bookstore.
If you are not using the same ID then you have to purchase again.

I want to SHARE Sync Settings with my Family Members, How Can I Share Some of My Settings with Them.

All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID, nor can they be updated using any ID other than the ID used to originally obtain them.

One members acct. is grayed out and cannot be accessed by anyone except him.
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.

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.

if a child is over 18 in family sharing can they purchase items themselves? Will they then be able to share them with other family group members?

If they are still part of Family Sharing, these items will be shared.

How do i share content with my family without becoming responsible for payment of everybody's purchases? with familysharing i mean, not home sharing

how do i share content with my family without becoming responsible for payment of everybody's purchases?
with familysharing i mean, not home sharing
i have set up a familyshare for my parents and 3 siblings, all mid twenties. everybody is used to paying their own way. how do i make that continue to be the case and still keep the sharing facility open?
e.g I don't want to pay for my sisters' music purchases - half of it i don't like - but would like access to it now and then.

-> Home Sharing is different than logging into the iTunes store.
You enable Home Sharing using one AppleID. Doesn't matter which you use but all devices must use the same AppleID for Home Sharing.

How to share the Photos library on iCloud Drive with other family members?

I have uploaded our family photo-library to iCloud drive (136GB+). It works great!
But how can my wife (with her own iCloud-account, but within the family) see and use our library?

Tnx for the reply, though I already feared this was the answer.
Family sharing works well for keeping contact lists separated and we do not need to see all the crap the other half shoots with their iPhone.
But as family-members, we DO want to use our communal photo-library.
It would be great if you could share your entire library with family-members or at least select which albums to share with who.
Also it is silly that you can share a photo only to one other iCloud-album. If I shoot a nice pic of the kids I would want to share it with my wife AND with others.
The same would work for contacts. The family-head should be able to assign which contacts are shared and which are separate.
I hope Apple will update the family-possibilities so that this is fixed.

HT201060 how can i family share a physical cd with my family members rather than loading onto each device individually

I have just purchased another set of CD's from the store and want to load it to my iPhone through iTunes. I also wish for my family members to have access to these albums the same way as if I had purchased it through iTunes. Is this possible or must I load it onto each device individually. The main reason for me asking this is because I have a much larger memory on my phone (and also a much larger music collection) than my family members and it would be much easier to share my music this way rather than them constantly having to rip/delete their music to listen to new CD's (due to their limited memory constraints).
Thanks for the help,
Kyle

iPhoto shows you these Titles but the Finder shows you Filenames
If you export (File -> Export) you'll get the Export dialogue. Note the option at FileName to use the Title as filename for the exported photo

ICloud with multiple family members sharing one iTunes account?

How will iCloud work for the case where multiple family members share an iTunes account but each has his/her own iPhone/iPad/PC?
Will iCloud replicate content based on email address, unique Apple ID, iTunes account, or?? If iTunes, we could have trouble as three of us share our iTunes account (started when our daughter was young and continued for simplicity).

Keep one Apple ID for iTunes purchases (apps, music, etc.) for all family members on the iTunes Store and use different Apple IDs for each iCloud user. That worked for me.
