What happen to existing money when activating family sharing

Hi,
I would consider to use family sharing but all accounts already have money in them. We were used to buying app store cards, and we still have some to use.
So, what will happen to the money we already have in every account ?
Will it be possible to use the remaining unused app store cards while in family sharing ?
Not related to the main subject, are already bought music and apps will be available to family members ?
Thanks all

This raise one more question, does that means that purchased apps, music, books with itunes cards will be shared and will go thru the approbation process ?
François,
As the Family Organizer, you can activate the "Ask to Buy" feature for each member who is under 18.
If "Ask to Buy" is enabled, the member can only make a purchase after you give your approval.  Yes, this also applies if the purchases is charged to their own credit balance (or even if it is a free download).
For more information, see this guide:

  • What happens to app content/data with Family Sharing?

    Hello -
    My girls, 10 and 12-yrs old, have been on my Apple ID for years.  We've muddled through by me just turning off and on certain permissions, but I'd like to considering Family Sharing and getting them their own Apple IDs.  I just got an iPhone 6 and we're passing the iPhone 5S to my eldest daughter, so it's an opportunity to do this now.
    I've read all the instructions of setting up the kids in family share and how that works - I get that.
    The question I have is whether everything has to be "recreated" on her phone?  So, if I set up a new Family Sharing account for her and activate it on her phone, will all of the apps and content disappear, so we have to then redownload every app?  In that case, won't the apps be "empty" of data?
    So, for example, she and her friends have made a bunch of Video Star videos that live in the app.  I'm trying to figure out - if I set her up with a new Apple ID on Family Sharing, is all that data going to be gone? 
    Or, any progress in a game (like Smurfs Village that literally has been played over years - or can she sign in as me from the Game Center ID with that one to have it be the same)?
    Thanks for your help -

    If you re-download the apps under a different ID, you'll lose all saved data.

    No. That is how Apple has it set up.

    What happens to iTunes credit when you use family sharing.

    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. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

  • What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match?

    What happens to my music when I unsubscribe from iTunes Match? Can I still access it and iTunes just stops matching new songs I add or is the whole thing not accessible anymore to download or play?

    iTunes 7 will convert your existing library, but iTunes 6 and earlier will not recognize the new library format.

  • Folder name already exists error when activating feature

    HI,
    I am creating a document library and adding folders to it using elements.xml in VS 2012.
    First time deployment of the item works fine, the folder is created. But further deployment or activation of feature from site features is throwing the error "Folder name already exists".
    Below is the elements.xml of List Instance, which was modified to add the folders.
    <ListInstance Title="TestLibrary" OnQuickLaunch="FALSE" TemplateType="101" FeatureId="Guid" Url="Lists/TestLibrary" Description="TEST Library List Instance">
    <Data>
    <Rows>
    <Row>
    <Field Name="ContentTypeId">0x0120004F994A3C0FF76546A528DA0D4B515898</Field>
    <Field Name="FileLeafRef">Test_One</Field>
    <Field Name="Title">Test_One</Field>
    <Field Name="FSObjType">1</Field>
    </Row>
    <Row>
    <Field Name="ContentTypeId">0x0120004F994A3C0FF76546A528DA0D4B515898</Field>
    <Field Name="FileLeafRef">Test_Two</Field>
    <Field Name="Title">Test_Two</Field>
    <Field Name="FSObjType">1</Field>
    </Row>
    </Rows>
    </Data>
    </ListInstance>
    How to fix this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Folder name already exists error when activating feature”.
    I had used the following code snippet to create a folder within a document library, it didn’t throw errors when reactive the feature.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
    <ListInstance Title="LibTest"
    OnQuickLaunch="TRUE"
    TemplateType="10000"
    Url="Lists/LibTest"
    Description="My Lib Instance">
    </ListInstance>
    <Module Url="Lists/LibTest/Folder1" />
    </Elements>

    Also, when you redeploy the project, it will give you a dialog which would promote to delete the existed list or not.
    If you click the “Resove Automatically”, the visual studio would delete the existed list automatically, and create a new list.
    Thanks,

    Front Row is no longer supported. However, there are several applications that can do the same job for you (quite nicely, actually) and that work with ML. Try searching the Mac App Store. Also: there are uncountable threads about this over at the Front Row forum.

  • What happens in EP technically when we click on some folder?

    Hi Experts,
    I have following question - what happens in EP technically when user clicks on some folder?
    I just want to know the exact sequence of events that takes place - I know some of the events like the role of user is checked. Then system checks that what all pages, iviews, etc have been been assigned to folder. The system then finally displays the all objects under the folder.
    But I want to know in depth what happens some thing at core programming level.
    In fact in my project we have created 2 folder. Some iviews have been assigned to folder.
    Suppose name of folders are A and B. We want to pass value 1 to SAP BW when A is selected. We want to pass value 2 to SAP BW when B is selected.
    How we can do so?
    Pls help.
    Thanks

    Hi Kedar,
    Thanks for the help. In fact in my project we have created separate folders.
    For some functionality we have created 5 iviews and assigned it to folder A.
    For some functionality we have created 5 iviews and assigned it to folder B.
    We have to pass  Value Type = 1 to BW for iviews of folder A.
    We have to pass  Value Type = 2 to BW for iviews of folder B.
    How this can be done? Please help.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have restored your new phone from the backup of your old phone and ensured that everything is working correctly, you should first turn off "find my phone" on the old phone and then erase it, before you get rid of it.

  • What happens to my Iphotos when I'm blogging?

    The problem I've been having is when I try to upload photos to my blogspot blog.  I CAN  find them on Iphoto but they aren't there when I'm going through my blog to upload them.  Does that make sense?

    Any time you sync an iphone/ipod touch/ipad to a new computer, then the current content will be erased and replaced with content form the new computer.  You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • HT4707 what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud?

    what happens to Keychain data when I move to iCloud? Can I still access Keychain passwords?

    Thanks Carolyn,
    And yes. Keychain does still work.
    But why-oh-why do Apple have to give contradictory information yet again in the sign up process? It seems they just want to cover their arses so much that they would rather give out misleading information, that something might go wrong, just in case it does, than tell us everything will be OK & then if we lose data, we, (Americans with a penchant for litigation), are automatically going to sue thier bollocks off.
    This happens so many times with pop-up warnings. I'm running two macs & an iphone and I very nearly didn't go for Lion & icloud and seriously considered going back to Windows. Only a chance conversation in an Apple store stopped me and made me persevere through the warnings.
    Cheers,
