Books_Family Sharing

We’ve tried everything Apple suggests to make Book work with Family Sharing. Nothing works. It did at one time and we didn’t change anything. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

Hello rwittwer, 


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. I see you’re having trouble sharing Apple Books purchases across your Family Sharing group. Whenever there is an issue like this with purchases in our Family Sharing group, I begin by checking the settings.


Follow the steps under, “Review your Family Sharing settings,” from this article: Share App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books purchases with Family Sharing


Once you’re sure that all the purchases are being shared, you’ll want to scroll to the beginning of the article and follow all the steps provided. 


Cheers!
