  • HT204486 Sharing Photo library with family members with different iCloud accounts?

    How might one share Photos library with family members with their own Apple IDs?

    I would try the following:
    1. Create a smart album. Match condition as "Album" is "Any". That should capture all your photos and videos as of now.
    2. Share that Album via iCloud photo sharing, sending invitations to the family members.

  • 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.

  • Homesharing with family members with different iTunes accounts

    I recently got a new MacBook Air as a graduation gift.  Before, I shared a PC Laptop with my brother.  He has his own iTunes account but we both used the same iTunes program.  Some of the songs on the old computer were mine, some were his.  He's also made a few purchases for me on his account.  Anyways, now that I'm trying to get my library onto my new computer, I set up homesharing and tried to get the old music (some mine, some his, some burned by CD's, etc.)  All the music I had purchased on my account switched, but when I tried to import the other songs and movies that my brother bought, it said that my new computer wasn't authorized.  Is it not possible to have someone else's music from a different account on my computer?  I thought that was the purpose of homesharing.  Does homesharing only work if it's the same account on several different computers?  (PS I am all up to date with my iTunes and my software - I just got the laptop 3 days ago, so everything is brand new and current.  I'm pretty sure the iTunes on the other PC computer is up-to-date, but I'm not positive and don't know how to check)
    Has this happened to anyone else?  Was there any solution that you found?  Thank you!

    I-tunes Home Sharing (HS) question:  
    Will they each authorized unit (i pad, computer,iPhone) individually update separately or collectively on a Home Share I-tunes account?
    or differently stated
    How does this work when i pad #2  (a new (HS) unit who likes Country Western)
    and i-phone 3 (a new (HS) unit who liked Jazz and can't stand country western) but both like Mile Sirius connect to (HS) i tune account.
    So when they individually connect with i-tunes from the "Dad's original i-tune account
    Will it be updated  as "Dad's original i-tune account
    or as i-pad 2
    Will it have access but not updating content from Old Dads or from Jazzy i-phone 3
    Quite a conundrum.

    Hi, Confused As Always CB. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Hopefully I can help resolve this issue for you.  Try removing the preference to sync calendar events in iCloud preferences.  Once this is down enable the preference again and see if this resolves the issue.
    Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
    Quit Calendar (or iCal).
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
    Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
    Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    If the issue persists, try all remaining steps in the article below.

  • Can data from Apps be shared between family members with iCloud Family Share?

    I'd like to know if data from Apps can be shared between family members with Family share in iCloud

    no, unless the app has a sharing setting.

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

  • Can I share my contacts list with family members?

    can I share my contacts list with family members in the same way as sharing tunes and photos? If so how do I go about setting this up?

    Perhaps you should read these Apple documents about what is stored by iCloud.  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview:
    Your iCloud account includes 5 GB of free storage for iCloud Mail, Documents in the Cloud, and your iOS device backups. Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your photo stream, don’t count against the 5 GB of free storage ........
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksPurchased music isn’t backed up in all countries. Purchased movies and TV shows are backed up only in the U.S. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore. Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. A movie’s product details page in the iTunes Store shows if the movie is unavailable.

  • Share iCloud drive with family members

    Has anybody figured out how to share iCloud drive with family members?
    I was using Amazon Cloud drive which used to have an app you could download and imbed into Finder, but with OS X 10.1 this is no longer supported so I've switched over to iCloud drive.  So far it is working seamlessly, except for the fact the my wife has to log into my iCloud account on the web in order to download the files.  Ideally I could share iCloud drive and she'd simply log into finder on her mac to view our files and records.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can only share iCloud Drive with someone else if they also log in to the same account.  Otherwise, your sharing will be limited to the sharing options of the file itself, which is extremely limited.  Hopefully they will add more options as time goes on, but for now, thats where iCloud Drive is at, in its infancy.
    Good Luck.

  • Can you share iCloud drive storage with family members?

    Seems like this would be a common question but Apple Support search came up empty. So, can you share iCloud drive storage with family members?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can share they space if they all use the same Apple ID, but that's not really a good idea, because you'll then share contacts, calendars, photos etc etc.

    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.

  • 2 computers, 5 family members with their own iTunes accounts. How do we share purchased iTunes and downloaded CDs with homeshare? (I can't get my old iPod music to all go onto my iPad)

    I have 2 computers - Windows Based
    My husband, myself and the kids all have our own "accounts" on the home computer. This was done to limit certain access when the kids were younger.
    The laptop is pretty much mine. I use both computers for my iTunes music.
    Everyone has their own iTunes account for their music and games. I have been able to get music purchased by my other family members on my iPod in the past if I logged in the home computer under their IDs and attached my iPod. Or, if a family member downloaded a CD, I could get that music thes same way without having to download the CD again under my own login ID. However, I now have an iPad, and I can't transfer music from the iPod to the iPad - specifically that which was downloaded from CDs - not iTunes. And I couldn't get it to go from my iPod to my laptop, although both are authorized computers in the Home Sharing.
    It doesn't seem like the Home Sharing works with the different computer login IDs. The iTunes is universally available regardless of who is logged in, but the libraries vary based on who's user name you are under. I have strugged with importing from one User ID to another, which led me to simply log in under a different family member to get the desired music. There has got to be an easier answer and I'm just not figuring it out.
    I've read the support answers, I've read many of the other responses here as well to those with similiar questions, but I am still struggling.
    Any suggestions?

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely.

  • 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:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
