Sharing iTunes for family members

I share Itunes with my family and music is all just one big list of all of ours. I can surely make my own library but don't know how.
Thank you,
Gerard

Make a couple of playlists that contain just your music. You don't say whether or not you have an iPod, but if you do, you can set your iPod preferences to sync only your playlists.

I have multiple lines for family members on my account. Can I still transfer upgrades between lines? I don't see the option any more.

More everything. I have one line coming up on the 19th of this month and I'd like to transfer to another user with a later upgrade date. Just not seeing the option anywhere.

Can books be shared with other family members devices?

If you mean books purchased through iBooks, no. I beleive B&N offers that feature, but only on a VERY limited number of titles.

Whan I am creating a DTS shared member directly under period dimention (Sibling to YearTotal) I am able to create it. But when I am trying to create under alternate hierarchy, I am getting the following error.
"You cannot add or modify the main hierarchy members to the alternate hierarchy under time periods. Check the Administrator's Guide for more information"

Family Sharing Calendar not "sharing" events among family members

Hi,
I'm hoping someone has a similar issue and can shed some light.
I've setup a Family with myself as the organizer.
We have 2 iMacs, 1 MacBook Pro, 3 iPhones, and 3 iPads used by my three family members.
The "Family" calendar now shows up on all devices but events made on a single device are not showing on any of the other devices.
I've read all I can find and it appears to me that the "Family" shared calendar should sync across all family members without the need to "share" the calendar as we did in the past.
Can anyone confirm that is the case?
As a quick fix I simply "shared" the Family calendar (using email address's of the family members) and it is working, but this is essentially the same way we used to share a calendar. Just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Jim

I am having the same problem. I have done some testing and have found the following:
If I create an event in the Family Calendar on my Mac it shares it with all devices; however, if I create a new event in the Family Calendar on any of my iOS devices it doesn't share with any of my devices including my Mac. This has only been an issue since I upgraded to iOS 8.1.
I hope someone can help clarify if this truly is an iOS 8.1 issue and when they might come out with another update. This is a big problem for families trying to stay up-to-date with each others schedules.
Thanks.

ICal Color Coding for Family Members on on Master Calendar?

I have a very detailed ical calendar for all the family members' activities & would like to view them with a different color per person on one single calendar. I am not clear whether creating a calendar per person in a group will allow me to then merge them to see one master calendar. Perhaps I'm mistaken in how it works but I do not want to toggle between 5 calendars each time I need to schedule something. Is it even possible to see them all on one master calendar with the color for each person in their individual calendar retained on the master? Can they all be merged? It would take hours if not days to re-create them - I'd also like to be able to make them viewable by my husband. Thanks for the feedback!

Greetings,
I have a very detailed ical calendar for all the family members' activities & would like to view them with a different color per person on one single calendar.
iCal allows you to add multiple calendars (check boxes). Each calendar can have it's own color. Any event added to that calendar will have that color.
I am not clear whether creating a calendar per person in a group will allow me to then merge them to see one master calendar.
If you want to see all the calendars at once to see where events overlap, etc. you check off all the check boxes and you see all the events at once.
In your scenario you would make 1 calendar for each person. Each calendar can be assigned it's own unique color. When you want to see what everyone is doing you just check off all the check boxes to turn on all the calendars at once so you can see the events all together (Holding down the command key which is the clover leaf or Apple key and then clicking on a check box will turn them all on / off in one shot.)
The "Master" calendar as you say is iCal with all the calendars checked.
Can they all be merged?
If you have individual calendars (check boxes) and you would like to combine them you can do so by clicking on the calendar you want to merge and going to File > Export > Export. Save the resulting file to desktop. Go to that saved file and double-click. iCal will ask you where you want to put the events from that calendar. Choose the calendar you want to merge with and it will add all the events in.
I'd also like to be able to make them viewable by my husband.
You can share your calendars in a variety of different ways. In iCal go to the help menu and type in "Giving others access to your calendars" for a listing of options.
Hope that helps.

Sharing apps with family members who have ipads

We are now officially a mac household. My husband has an ipad 2, my 2 kids have minis and I have the new ipad retina. But how do we setup these devices so all of us can share the apps and music but keep the contacts, emails and messaging unique to the user?
My kids are 7 and 10 so I want to be able to give them access but not the ability to purchase anything on their own. Any ideas?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

Sharing Music among family members

I want to know if there is a way to share music among family members, other than the share music function in preferences, who use the same Mac but signed in under different accounts?
My wife, daughter, and my self have different user accounts set up on the same Mac. I would like us all to share the same Music Library in order to save harddrive space. As it is now we each have a different library, which we can listen to music with the sharing function in preference. But I want one common Library that we can all access all our music through our individual accounts and be able to add music to each of our iPods though our accounts. I hope I made my self clear enough.

John hello,
to add a bit more to what macmenno has told you... here is an interesting variation that gives you great freedom of choice but still only one data library base....

Sharing aliases with family members

I have 5 aliases and would like to share them with my family. I would like to my family members to only receive and send using their respective emails (using their alias) on their iPads/iphones. Is that possible?

Hey there!
You'll want to create a seperate iCloud account for each device in order to keep the contacts seperated.
You'll esentially have to delete the iCloud accounts from each device and choose to keep the info on the iPhone. Then sign in with the newly created apple id for each device that wants their own account and choose to merge the data on the iPhones.

Code for Family Members Detail screen

Hello,
I am on EP7.0,NW04s and ERP05 and want to modify the ESS Family Members Detail(Edit Spouse) screen wherein I want to make the Social Security Number as a mandatory field like First and Last name ...but I wonder where to find the code writeen for these validations ... so that I can add my code for SSN...
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
If your requirement is making an input field as mandatory input field then for this validation you can follow the following procedure..
1> Add an entry like the following in your Message Pool.
MISSING_INPUT as Message Key, Message Type error, must be enterred as Message Text.
2> Add a method called checkInputValues as follows for validation as follows
public void checkInputValues( java.util.ArrayList attributeCollection, java.util.ArrayList fieldNames )
    //@@begin checkInputValues()
     IWDMessageManager messg = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
String strValue=(String)wdContext.currentCalIDSHDtailsElement().getAttributeValue(attributeCollection.get(0).toString());
          if(strValue==null || strValue.equalsIgnoreCase(" "))
               messg.reportContextAttributeMessage(
               wdContext.nodeCalIDSHDtails().currentCalIDSHDtailsElement(),
               wdContext.nodeCalIDSHDtails().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(attributeCollection.get(0).toString()),
               IMessageTpcalender.MISSING__INPUT,
               new Object[]{ fieldNames.get(0) },
               true);
    //@@end
3> Add another method in your View that will use the validation code on Submit and add the following code in the method
public void onActionSubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionSaveCalData(ServerEvent)
    ArrayList attList = new ArrayList();
    ArrayList fieldNames = new ArrayList();
     attList.add(0,IPrivateTpcalenderViewOne.ICalIDSHDtailsElement.FIRSTAME);
     fieldNames.add(0,"FIRST NAME");
    this.checkInputValues(attList,fieldNames);
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().raisePendingException();
    //@@end
if you use the above procedure you can perform the validation on a input field and if user does not enter any value and tries to submit the form then the input field will be marked with red color.. Hope this helps..
If you need further help let me know...
Please reward points if it helps..
Thanks

HT204266 Can I set up different iTunes accounts for family members?

Gifts for Family Members from ITunes

I would like to purchase music, movies, and books from the ITunes Store and email them to my sister for downloading to her IPhone or IPad. Is there a way to do that?

Prompting for family members password during update?

When my iPhone 6 (up to date iOS) tries to update apps, some update but others prompt me for the password for my daughters iTunes account. Never used family sharing, never synced on computer using her account or vice versa. Very annoying, please help!
I'm not keen on deleting and re-installing since I use one a lot and am afraid I'll lose all my progress/data.
thanks!!

If it is prompting your daughter password, then some how you download her apps on your phone.
Only way to resolve that is to delete the app and install it with your apple id.

Do I need individual apple ids for family members?

We are 5, each with either ipod touch or iphone. How do I keep track of it all and maintain sepatate music and apps for each device?

Each family member needs to create their own Apple ID (for which each will need a different non-Apple email address). They can then each create their own iCloud account, but they will need either to be using their own Macs, or if they are sharing a Mac, each will need a separate User account.

I am so completely confused with how to best set up iTunes for family use

Okay, I'm literally going crazy trying to get my Apple "ecosystem" set up. First, I'll try and explain my setup and then what I'm hoping to accomplish.
My setup:
1) Mac Mini - this is where my "master" iTunes library resides. iTunes Store is logged in with our single Apple ID that we use for all iTunes & App Store purchases. This Mac Mini also is where we store all of our photos within iPhoto.
2) My wife and I each have an iPhone which is set up for wireless syncing to iTunes.
3) My wife and I each have MacBook Pros.
Here's what's working:
1) Sharing all of the iTunes music and iPhoto pictures to my AppleTV (3rd generation) - This is working as expected.
Here's what's I want to accomplish:
1) We would like to be able to make purchases from the iTunes or App Store from either our Mac Mini, iPhones or MacBook Pros using our single Apple ID and have these purchases be available to all of our devices including the iPhones, MacBook Pros, Mac Mini and AppleTV.
Ultimately, all of our purchases should physically reside on our Mac Mini where we sync the songs & apps we want to our iPhones wirelessly. What I'm finding out, is that purchases made on our iPhones and MacBooks will not download to the Mac Mini iTunes library. iTunes on the Mac Mini shows the purchases but when I try and download them I get a message that says "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID". I figured since iTunes on the Mac Mini is logged in with the single Apple ID I would be all set. What does this message mean?
I'm sure to have some follow-up questions but I'm hoping to get this process started with this one first. Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

Maybe this will help:
