Unable to see any purchases in Family Sharing

I know iOS8 is completely new, but has anybody messed with Family Sharing yet? I set it up, and invited my husband. We both have "share purchases" turned on, the credit card is set up fine. On my iPad, if I go to the Purchased link in the App Store, it says "to start sharing purchases, finish setting up family sharing in iCloud" where iCloud is linked. I click on that, it brings me back to the Family Sharing preferences, and it's completely unclear what else isn't set up. I read through the few Apple FAQs on this specifically Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing and If you don't see your family's shared content and neither helps. I looked through iBooks and Music as well, and still don't see his purchases anywhere (there's no link or anything to his purchases like there's supposed to be).

Hi all,
i had the same problem but have FIXED IT!
Once you have set it up you then have to go back into setting and iCloud on all family devices and click on your name, it will prompt you to enter your Apple ID password. Once you do that on all devices, it then works fine. When you go into the iTunes store, App Store or iBooks, you will see in the Purchased section your family members. Apple could have explained this better. They finally explained it at this link: If you don't see your family's shared content

  • My child can't see my purchases under family sharing and nothing is blocked?

    my child is under me in family sharing but he can't see any of my music or apps to put on his iPad mini. What am I doing wrong?  I have sharing on and nothing is blocked.

  • Can't see member Purchases with Family Sharing

    Okay, I wonder if someone can help with this. I setup Family Sharing and was able to add the members I wanted. When I go to the AppStore, i'm able to see their name under the Family Purchases", however when I click on their names, I can't see their purchased. I just get something that says "you have no purchases". I follow the steps on the Apple Article title "If you don't see you family's shared content" and that didn't solve the issue. I also made one for the members to download a free that was shareable, to verify and I still couldn't that one either.  In addition, I verified that the email under the Family Sharing was the same for ITunes & AppStore under the setting.  Does anyone has solution? I'm not sure if the issue is because I have an older iPhone. I still have the iPhone 4S

    I have the same issue - interestingly, I am able to see iTunes purchases.  It's just app store purchases that aren't showing up.    

  • I just updated my software and now I am unable to see the purchased movies any help?

    I am unable to see my purchased movies. The new update also does not allow me to purchase or review a trailer.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
        2.    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
        3.    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

  • I am unable to make any purchases in the App Store. PLEASE HELPPPP!

    I am unable to make any purchases in the App Store. I have $15 in the account but I still can't buy any games. It only lets me purchase free games. It says "this Apple ID is now locked and unable to make any purchases"

    You are in the same country as you have on your iTunes account, and you haven't been trying to use another country's store ?
    Try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they can/will unlock it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I am unable to see any POP3 or IMAP tab when I set up an account in my iphone 4S. Hence by default all my email accounts become IMAP and the messages are deleted from the server when I delete them from the iphone.

    ok sorry everyone but i solved it myself but the solution is so nuts i've posted it here to help others who have the same problem.
    to setup a comcast imap account on your iphone:
    go to mail, contacts, etc in settings
    under accts, select add account
    select "other"
    new screen, choose "add mail account"
    now on the new acct screen you must enter your name, email address and password for your GMAIL acct ! (yes i said your gmail acct !, or some other acct with a NON comcast address).
    hit next
    then the acct verifies
    when verified a screen will open with all the acct settings for this acct AND @ the top of the screen are the 2 buttons > imap or POP
    select imap and THEN CHANGE ALL THE ACCOUNT information to the comcast account !
    then hit next and the account will take a couple minutes to verify but it will verify and now you have a comcast imap acct set up on your iphone.  The problem must be that when the iphone sends the initial verify acct info to comcast (if you enter that information first) the comcast server is simply not setup yet to signal the iphone that there is an imap option.

  • Unable to see any Tasks in the WCB or in Telnet.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    Check whether the release rule you are running has the option Auto Allocate (Inventory Tab) is YES.
    If it has NO then you have to run the Move Order Pick slip program with auto allocate move orders as YES and order types as pick wave for material allocation to happen.
    once material is allocated you should be able to view them in WCB atleast.
    After you find them in WCB but not on telnet then check you resource and device setup.

  • Today my Iphone  unable to see any wifi network

    Hello
    Today my Iphone  unable to see any wifi network.
    I tried to solve the problem in several ways.
    1. reset neteaork definitions.  -> did not solve the problem
    2. reset location and privecy  -> did not solve the problem.
    3. reset all definitions            ->  did not solve the problem.
    Doses any one has any idea that can help?
    Thakns
    Moti

    The only other option I can think of is to try a Reset All Settings reset.  You won't lose anything, but your phone's settings will ALL be set back to factory default. 
    If this doesn't work you could try to do a restore through iTunes and set your phone up as new.  If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware problem and will need to take the phone in to an Apple store to have it checked out.

  • Unable to see files in iTunes File Sharing

    I'm using the latest version of iTunes, and have both an iPad and iPad2, both fully upto date with the latest version of IOS. Everything I now write about applies to both iPads.
    Basically, I'm unable to see files that are sent to iTunes from the iPad.  The ipad is connected to the PC, I select the file I want to send from the appropriate app, and then "send to iTunes".  The file never appears under the app that sent if from the file sharing section of the device in iTunes.  Even forcing another sync doesn't help either.
    Here's the strange thing, if I unplug the iPad, then reconnect it, go back to file sharing page in iTunes, and click on the appropriate app, the files show.  However, if I click onto another app in the file sharing list and back to the original one, the files have disappeared.
    By way of example:
    I connect my iPad to iTunes, after it automatically syncs, I select the iPad, choose the apps menu and scroll down to the file sharing window.
    On my iPad, I open Pages, select a document and send it to iTunes.
    Back on my PC, the file doesn't show under the Pages app in the file sharing window.
    I resync the iPad, still no change.
    I disconnect the iPad, reconnect and let it automatically sync again.
    I navigate back to the file  sharing section and click on the Pages app.  Low and behold, the file is now showing.
    I click onto any other app that is listed in the file sharing section, then click back to the Pages app.  The file no longer shows.
    It will remain like that until I unplug the ipad, and connect/sync again.
    Exactly the same thing will happen regardless of which app I choose that supports file sending to iTunes.
    Finally, just to confuse matters further, the reverse is also true.  Adding a file to the file sharing section doesn't appear in the list, and the iPad can't see it - until I unplug and reconnect again.  After that, same issues happen as already described.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    This is a bug in the Windows version of iTunes which I reported to Apple nearly a year ago (back when iTunes 10 came out), but they refuse to fix.  I see the problem with my iPhone 3GS and iPad 2.
    Basically file sharing stops working if you click on more than two or three apps in the file sharing list.  The work around is to disconnect the iOS device and reconnect it.  Then make sure to click only the app you want to transfer to/from.  If the document list goes blank, disconnect and reconnect again. 
    It's really annoying and I wish Apple would fix it.  Supposedly it was also broken for the Mac version of iTunes and was quickly fixed there, but not for Windows.

  • I am unable to upload any photos to photo sharing sites?

    For the last two days I have been unable to upload any photos regardless of size to a professional photo sharing website. I have tried everything possible such as disabling my Norton services, emptying the DNS cache, clearing all browers histories and all cookies. I've tried creating new accounts on the website and nothing has worked. I then tried to upload photos to another site and when the photo started to load it said that I lost internet connection yet I didn't. I am able to use my daughter's dell and can upload photos just fine on any site with her computer. I did a live chat with Norton and they ran me through a series of things as well and said it is something with my mac.  Does anyone have any suggestions???? I'm at a complete loss and beyond frustrated with this entire experience.

    Hi, Thank you so much for the info.... I really do appreciate it. We had the laptop updated by way of a system upgrade with RAM and an additional SSD drive. Once reconfigured all programs were reinstalled but Iphoto is not among them. Iphoto was on the laptop when purchased so we have no additional discs. Before the laptop was updated we backed the photos up to an extrenal hard drive so we have them, but cant access them. Could I purchase Iphoto 8 stll? Would this work? We would also require an external CD drive as we no longer have the disc drive in the laptop (I think the extra new bits took over). You may have noticed I have very limited knowledge on computers so any help dispite how simple it may sound to some would help me greatly. I just want all my photos back .... Thanks inadvance... Hope to hear soon x

  • Stop adults from purchasing using family sharing

    I am the main account holder, and therefore it uses my Credit Card. I wish to prevent other Adults in my Family Group From making purchases without my knowledge or authorisation. I believe you can ask children to request authorisation but any adult can just buy without restriction. If this is not possible then Apple needs to seriously fix this and allow adults to purchase with their own cards and restrict minors only.

    Hi zaba,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    Other adults in your Family Sharing group can use iTunes Store gift cards if they do not wish to have the payment default to the organizer. The individual adult can add a gift card credit to their individual account that will be charged first, before defaulting to the organizer’s payment method.
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
    Best regards,
    Joe
