Sharing an app with husband

how can I share an app with my husband without having to put my cc on file. When I purchase something from iTunes I have a iTunes gift card, I don't want to put my info out there. I have one app that he would like to have but not sure how to go about this. Have been reading about Family Share but that requires my CC.
Thanks

they do have family sharing now where you are able to share up to 6 members of your family and this app has been paid for by me
they just want to keep my CC on file to have this available and I don't want to give my CC info out when I use a iTunes gift card on there site

How to share apps with husband?

My husband just switched to apple and i would like to share apple id to share apps. how do i do that?

When you installed these applications, did you install them to the system-wide shared Applications folder or the private Applications folder belonging to your own user account?
Most applications that come with installers will install themselves in the system Applications folder (after asking for an administrator password). Some will ask where they should be installed. Microsoft Office uses an installer; as I recall, it does ask whether it should be available to just you or to everybody with an account on your system.
Applications that you install by dragging go wherever you drag them. Some even provide a shortcut (alias) to your system Applications folder for you to drag them into.

Multiple devices trouble sharing & syncing apps with iCloud

We have 2 iPods, 1 iPhone, a PC laptop and a PC all on the same iCloud Apple ID. The iPhone and the two iPods each have their own Apple ID for making purchases. The iPhone and one of the iPods are able to share apps purchased separately after the devices are sync'd in iTunes, but one of the iPods (which was originally using a different iTunes account but is now on the same iTunes account as the other iPod and the iPhone - maybe this is part of the problem?) can't seem to get any of the apps from the other two. In iTunes, we can select the shared apps when this iPod is connected, but when we try to sync, nothing gets added. Thoughts on what we might be doing wrong?
Also, I thought iCloud automatically shared apps among devices. We have to sync the devices on iTunes to share the apps...is this how it is supposed to work?
Thanks so much for any help anyone can provide!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's unclear from your post whether you fully appreciate the difference between iCloud and iTunes. iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes and each account can use a separate ID, my first thought therefore would be that you may be using a different ID for this iPod. Check you are using the same ID for iTunes on the PC and iTunes on the iPod at settings > store.
Apps don't exactly sync between devices, they sync according to your settings in iTunes. They can however automatically download to a device when purchased on another, for this to occur, you need the automatic download option checked at settings > store.

I was sharing apple id with husband on our iPhones but now we want to each have our own, how can i do this without having all his info on his phone be lost?

When husband and i got our iPhones we shared the same Apple ID but not that we have added an iPad and Mac he wants his own apple ID how can I change the apple id/icloud to his own without deleting all his phone and resetting?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You both need your own iCloud accounts. I would set up the second iCloud account and get all the data showing in both accounts, before trying to delete anything. You will need to delete the unwonted contacts and appointments etc manually.

HT5622 Can you share ITunes purchases across multiple Apple ID's within a family? I want to share my music library and apps with my kids, but not have their ipones tied to my Apple ID. What's the best set-up to accomplish this?

Can you share Itunes purchases with family members without them using your Apple ID?

ICloud Family Sharing - can't purchase apps with iTunes Credit

My wife and I previously shared the same AppleID on our phones. When the family sharing became available, it seemed the perfect approach for what we were accomplishing. I upgraded my wife's phone to 8.x and then moved her back to the Apple ID that I had initially created for her. I invited her to join the family and completed that setup.
We then had some iTunes gift cards that she had received and so loaded those to her iTunes account (wife's AppeID) on her iPad. However, when we attempt to purchase apps on her iPad, it insists on purchasing from my AppleID via my credit card rather than using the iTunes credit.
Any suggestions? I've seen posts that iTunes credit cannot be transferred.

Nope, not actually. The only restrictions Alberta places on gift cards are the following:
* Not allow expiry dates on gift cards, gift certificates, and vouchers that have been purchased and have monetary value
* Eliminate inactivity fees, also called dormancy fees, that reduce the value of gift cards the longer they go unredeemed
* Prevent businesses from not honouring gift cards for purchases that are
more or less than the value of a gift card
* Require merchants to fully disclose any restrictions on use of a gift card on both the actual card and its packaging
To further my point, Apple definately does not abide by the last law (at least in the rest of Canada), as they say nothing on the card or its packaging about not being able to buy apps with it.

Can you share specific apps with other devices under same Apple ID? ...or do you need to enable he sharing of all apps that have been downloaded under that ID?

My family has multiple devices under one apple ID. I want to share only certain apps with certain family members. Is it possible to limit what apps are shared with which devices or do I need to share all of the apps that I download for personal use?

Thanks. I turned off the automatic downloads on the new devices (minis), but when I go into the app store I don't see any of the apps I have bought (for my original iPad) under "purchased". I was thinking that this was the logical place to find those apps that I want to download to the new devices. What am aI missing?

Sharing an app built with Siena

What should I take into account, when publishing my app for distribution to others?
I know, when running InstallApp, I should select 'Create an appx file for sharing'. When I do so I also get a button for 'Certificate'. I wonder if I share my published app with others: can they install right away, or do they need aditional actions, or have
any specific certificates or licences, or alike? What should I do when creating the appx file, to create it in such a way, so others can install right away (i.e. without the need for any certificate, licences, and alike)?
Many thanks.

Hello,
I believe the following article should answer your question.

The developer license is free and can be created either when prompted or by working with programs like Visual Studio Express or a full Visual Studio.

Registering Planning app with shared services

Hello all.
I created a new classic planning app (11.1.1) with the intention of mirroring our production app. I've copied that outline from the production app to the new app. I've also exported the sql server database used by the production planning app and restored it to the new app. Everything seems fine so far.
My question is about the registration of the new app in shared services. The production app has about 35 MSAD authenticated users. What would be the process for registering the new app with shared services and setting up users from the production app. I didn't specifically register the new app when it was created.
I'm a little apprehensive. I don't want to do anything that might affect the current production app. How can I register the new app and add users without affecting the current production app. Is it as simple as going to Administration -> Applications Settings and clicking on "Register Shared Services" and setting up new users? Or are there other steps that need to occur?
Any help is very much appreciated.
dave

You shouldn't need to register as you would of created a blank planning application at first that will be registered with Shared Serices, then the provisoning of users/groups in shared services for the planning application would be done, then you would migrate the relational database across.
You wil probably need to edit the shared services URL from within planning but no need to reregister.
Cheers

Apps Secretly Sharing Personal Data With Third Parties--

just read this article on the huffingtonpost.com
how can i tell who is obtaining persoanl data without telling me ?
are there supposed to be safeguards against this ?
*what can i do to prevent this ?*
*Apps Secretly Sharing Personal Data With Third Parties--Without Telling You*
JORDAN ROBERTSON | 07/28/10 10:40 PM | AP
LAS VEGAS — Your smart phone applications are watching you – much more closely than you might like.
Lookout Inc., a mobile-phone security firm, scanned nearly 300,000 free applications for Apple Inc.'s iPhone and phones built around Google Inc.'s Android software. It found that many of them secretly pull sensitive data off users' phones and ship them off to third parties without notification.
That's a major concern that has been bubbling up in privacy and security circles.
The data can include full details about users' contacts, their pictures, text messages and Internet and search histories. The third parties can include advertisers and companies that analyze data on users.
The information is used by companies to target ads and learn more about their users. The danger, though, is that the data become vulnerable to hacking and use in identity theft if the third party isn't careful about securing the information.
Lookout reported its findings this week in conjunction with the Black Hat computer security conference in Las Vegas.
Lookout found that nearly a quarter of the iPhone apps and almost half the Android apps contained software code that contained those capabilities.
The code had been written by the third parties and inserted into the applications by the developers, usually for a specific purpose, such as allowing the applications to run ads. But the code winds up forcing the application to collect more data on users than even the developers may realize, Lookout executives said.
"We found that not only users, but developers as well, don't know what's happening in their apps, even in their own apps, which is fascinating," said John Hering, CEO of the San Francisco-based Lookout.
Part of the problem is smart phones don't alert users to all the different types of data the applications running on them are collecting. IPhones only alert users when applications want to use their locations.
And while Android phones offer robust warnings when applications are first installed, many people breeze through them for the gratification of using the apps quickly. Google said it tries to limit users' risk with the warnings but consistently advises users to only install apps they trust.
Apple didn't respond to a request for comment on Lookout's research.

The best way to handle this, depending on the app, is to turn off things like sharing on the world wide boards. (This can often be done in settings, although you may have to do so in app.)
Also--and this may sound a bit lame--choose your apps (especially free ones) carefully. There are a whole range of games that all track certain info bits. I have a few of those, but have have turned off that part of it.
Finally...the same things go for apps as with any program for your computer: use common sense.

How do I use iTunes shar to share apps with in my household

I heard that sharing apps with in a household is ok. So I wanna co it but not sure how to do it with I tunes share. Help please

The apps that you share will be associated with your Apple ID, even if you share them with family members. So if an app needs to be updated, then you shall have to sign into your Apple ID on the computers or iOS devices which have the apps installed in order to update them.
Probably the easiest way to share the apps is to copy them from your computer to the other computers in your family and then authorize those computers with your Apple ID. You can authorize up to five (5) computers, including your own, to use your iTunes stuff. On a Mac the apps are stored at this location; ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/ (I have no idea where they are on a Windows box!) Drag & drop the apps that you wish to share from that location onto the iTunes app on the other Macs or PCs over your LAN or other direct connection. Or copy them from that location onto a USB stick and then drag & drop them onto iTunes on the other computers. After you authorize those computers for your iTunes stuff, the apps can be synced to iOS devices. You authorize the computer to use your iTunes stuff in the computer's iTunes app's Store menu.
There are other more complicated methods of moving the apps around to share.

Home sharing only sharing SOME apps

Hi all,
I recently started using Home Sharing to share libraries across three machines in our home network, and just noticed that not all of the apps can be shared.
First off, this is not a "how do I enable home sharing" post! I got Home Sharing up and running successfully across all three machines in the house (or so I thought). All three are running iTunes 9.2 and OS 10.6.4, and all are logged into Home Sharing using the same account info.
Machine A currently has 45 iPhone apps in its library. Home Sharing is setup with machine B's account info, but B is authorized to use A's music and apps. When I look at A's library from B, I only see a list of 39 apps available. (That's with "show all items" selected, not just "show items not in my library".) So why the missing 6? I'm unable to see any pattern to the six that don't appear. (It's always the same six, I just don't see anything in common across the set of six.)
I tried turning off Home Sharing and quitting iTunes across all machines. I restarted iTunes and this time set up Home Sharing using A's account across all machines. From A, when I try to drag one of the 6 "missing" apps to B's library (Vector Tanks, for example), it won't let me -- the red "1" icon indicating that I'm dragging one item doesn't find a "home" in B's library.
I'd be grateful for suggestions!
Thanks,
Brad

Home sharing really does seem to be a bit flakey. I've been digging around a little. As you;ve probably already read, there are two files in your iTunes library. One ends in .itl and the other .xml. The .xml is human readable. The /itl file contains details of all your songs and playlists according to the Apple site. But it looks to be in binary as there is nothing in ASCII that I can see. The .xml file IS written in ASCII and so readbale by us humans. According to the Apple website, it contains similar information to the .itl file but the webopage does not say where it is different.
Anyway, I created a new iTunes library and gradually added a few CDs to see what happened in the .xml file. My reason? Well, like you, my iPod Touch does not show up all the artists. It drops some. Out of four artists I can see 3. It is weird. I started off with the blank library and added a CD of Berlioz. The iPod Touch showed up Berlioz as the artist (I should add that I use the Artist data field for composer since Apple, in their infinite wisdom, decreed one could not search on composer. So one entry in the library and it was visible on the iPod.
Import a second CD . Berlioz disappears and the new composer is visible. In fact, this CD has three composers on it. All three are visible. Import a third CD - again Berlioz - and Berlioz still does not appear. The music is there in the Album listing but not in the artist.
As I said, HomeSahring is flakey.

My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID

My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID Just got an iPad air 2 so my iCloud and family sharing is with the one that's disabled. Which I don't know how to switch to my new one, so I trying to erase my apps that won't load and just re download them with my new ID that is being used with the iTunes n app store but I can't even find most in purchased plus it's saying that I can't get it cuz that ID is not with family sharing but I donT know why it would not be. Please someone help.

OOk so I have my new Apple id in my iTunes account but my old Apple ID is the one that is in the iCloud account which is the Apple ID have been using for years and the reason I cannot get it on this abled is because somebody was using my credit card or debit card that was on file for family sharing and it was a stolen iPhone from my account so they had to disable my Apple ID and I could not use my debit card anymore on any Apple ID ever again they said because of it so I can't get it not to be disabled and I can't sign into iTunes with it I already have signed out and signed in with my new Apple ID for iTunes it's just iCloud is not letting me load anything so pretty much what I've been doing is I have to erase every app and then re-dumb going to iTunes and re-download the apps again but the only issue is that I still have a disabled Apple ID as my iCloud settings and my iCloud family sharing in all of that so I'm wondering how or is it possible to change my Apple ID for iCloud specifically because when I go into Icloud and settings and go into my name where my Apple ID is the one that's disabled it doesn't say anything about log out or sign out or anything like that it just says to put the password for it so is there a way to change the Apple ID for my iCloud so that my iTunes in my iCloud is the same Apple ID?

Can I share apps with another user account on our mac even though its a different apple ID?

Husband and I have just bought a new Mac to share, but we've both got iphones and itunes of our own. I thought the best way to deal with this would be to have a user account each on the new Mac with our own iTunes, but this obviously means that each user account has a different apple ID associated with it. I've just bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote on my user account, is it going to be possible to share these apps with my husbands user account.
I've got a harrible feeling that I should have created a joint user account and apple ID, and I've just wasted the best part of £40...please tell me theres a way to fix this!!
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can, but you will have to update the applications from the user account with the Apple ID you used to purchase those apps. There isn't any other problem, but it may be illegal (but I think it's legal if you run them on the same Mac)
