Still need a password to update apps purchased by another Family Sharing member!
On iOS 8.1, I can enter App Store app, tap on the Purchased tab at the bottom, and then tap the upper-left corner to choose one of the members in the same Family Sharing members, then tap on the "download cloud" icon next to any apps purchased by that member. Doing so, I don't need to enter the password that Family Sharing member's Apple ID. But, whenever apps, those purchased by other Family Sharing members, have an update, I would need to change the Apple ID to that Family Sharing member and enter the password, in order to enable the app update. Or, those apps will stay on the Updates page of the App Store app, waiting to be updated, forever.
How can the app update of apps purchased by other Family Sharing members be set automatic?
No. To update apps you have to sign intot he account that purchased them.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
Just purchase the apps with your account

HT201389 Update apps purchased in another country's App Store?
Will I be able to update apps purchased in another country's App Store?
I already have this mess. No you will not. Unless you change back to the country that you bought the app from. Oh, but then you run into the problem that you need a valid address and payment method from that country.
So no, if you move to another country, Apple will steal all your apps. -
Can I update apps purchased in another country
Hi. I live in Japan and I've purchased the some iPhone and Mac apps in the Japanese iTunes App Store. Now I am moving to Brazil and I want to keep the same Apple user id, but my billing info will change, so I won't be able to use the Japanese iTunes store anymore. I should be able to access the Brazilian store instead, because the country of my billing info will change. Even free updates are considered "buying" so I am concerned I might not be able to update my apps because updates need to happen in the store of the country where you originally purchased the app.
Can I update in the Brazilian store an app purchased in the Japanese store? Any tips or suggestions?I already have this mess. No you will not. Unless you change back to the country that you bought the app from. Oh, but then you run into the problem that you need a valid address and payment method from that country.

How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?
How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?
One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another. You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID. -
Still have to enter password to update apps
Ive updated to iOS 6, yet, still have to enter my password to update apps.
Anyone else have this issue, or know how to fix?What do you mean a "more fuller update" from software update? Do you mean the updates I automatically get from apple software update are not actually the latest snow leopard updates? I'm very confused.
No that is not what I was saying. Read all about the Snow Leopard combo update for yourself - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
they're generally pretty useless and typically solve most problems by saying to reinstall everything.
That has never been my experience with Apple Care the few times I have used it.
This may be a user forum, but I'm pretty confident there are Apple staff helping people out on here.
Not the case here. Hate to bust your confident bubble. These forums are strictly user to user.
"Apple staff" do chime in from time to time in the Feedback forum area if you are having problems with the discussion website. Never for technical issues. Read the Terms Of Use. -
When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps. How do I get mine back?
Yes, you can delete them from your phone by tapping the icon until it jiggles, then tap the black x. You can verify that your Apple ID is still correct for future purchased by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom). If it's wrong, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID. Then you should be good to go.

I cannot use the password to update apps on my second IPhone. It only works on one of the phones. They both have the same Apple ID and password.
If it really does not work, change your password here https://appleid.apple.com (Manage account) and try to add the account again. I hope it helps.

I have 2 iPhones sharing an apple ID (mine and my partner). we have just created separate ID's now that family sharing is available. but the partner's ID wouldn't let her update apps purchased on my ID! Help Please
This is happening to me also but only with certain apps. The message I get with the apps that won't update is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".

How do I require a password between every app purchase on my iPad?
How do I require a password between every app purchase? I'm trying to avoid having my son make purchases without my consent.
See if you have something in your settings that shows Profile. Settings>General>Profiles.
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles. For additional information, contact the administrator or the person who installed the profile. -
Family downloaded a free app. The free app only allows certain areas to open. Then bought the in-app purchase to unlock full app. I cannot home share the in-app purchase with other family members. How do I do this? Thanks
Turn off the restriction you set in Settings > General > Restrictions for In-App Purchases

I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.
All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. -
Syncing apps to iTunes with Family Sharing
I recently got a new iPhone 6 Plus and decided to use my own Apple ID instead of using my fathers, which I used on my old phone. I got all the apps that I wanted from the new family sharing option. However, when I sync my phone to my computer, under my own Apple ID/iTunes account, none of the apps I acquired from family sharing, which is most of them, show up in my iTunes library under my Apple ID. This is frustrating me, and I was wondering if anyone knew a solution.
Okay, my process worked...
Step 1. Unstall iTunes and all associated programs (total 6 incl. iTunes.
Here is the link for that:
http://www.bluefireanimation.com/
Step 2. Re-install iTunes (do not attach iPad yet.
Step 3. Open the newly re-installed iTunes and clear sync history:
edit/preferences/devices/reset history
Step 4. (Very important) Same location as 3 above-UNCLICK "prevent iPods, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically"
Step 5. Connect iPad and sync.
This step will sync as much as possible from the library. If you are like me you will get a not enough memory error. If you do- no problem. You will be able to simply "uncheck' sync in all tabs except apps. YOU MUST SYNC ALL APPS INITIALLY. You can back later and sync only those you want to have on your iPad. Continue to sync one tab at a time with appropriate content.
These steps assume you completed a factory reset. The only difference is I am running Windows 7
Hope this helps... -
Is there a way I can 'select all' for downloading purchase files via family sharing instead of selecting each file or folder one at a time?
or home sharing
