Q: Family share Ibooks  ...  Apple ID issue

Hi,

 

I was recently visiting my mom and she told me about "Family Share" for Ibooks, thus letting us to share books that have been purchased.  I signed up and am able to download the books she purchased.  Unfortunately in the process it has put her credit card in my AppleID. 

 

How do I get my credit card listed again?  Will I lose the ability to share books with her in the process?

 

Thanks,

 

Gary

I Don't use Family Sharing, but if I understand correctly, only one the credit card entered by the Family Organizer will be the card of record and the only card that can be used as long as up you use Family Sharing. You can always add gift cards if you don't want to put all of your purchase on your Mother's cards.

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.

 

Once paid for, a purchased item is added to the account of the family member who initiated the purchase. In other words, the content belongs to them, much as it would if you were buying them a book or a DVD. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each member will keep the purchases they initiated, even though they were paid for by the family organizer.
