Q: Family Sharing Music

Since my son is not old enough to have his own Apple ID, we had to set us family sharing.  However, he doesn't want my music.  How can I remove my music from his phone and just add what he wants?   TIA

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2, HP Pavilion

    Hello Diane Harper,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    From your post I understand that your son is seeing your iTunes purchases, and only wants to download what he wants.  With Family Sharing, the iTunes purchases from members in the family group are not automatically downloaded, rather they need to be downloaded manually by following the directions below.  If he sees a cloud icon next to an item, it means it is available for download, and is not already on the device.

     

    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8

    1. Open the store app that you want to download content from, and go to the purchased page:
      • App Store: Tap Updates > Purchased.
      • iTunes Store: Tap More > Purchased.
      • iBooks: Tap Purchased.
    2. Tap the family member's name to see their content. Learn what to do if you don’t see any content or can’t tap your family member.
    3. To download an item, tap the cloud   icon next to it.
