Q: Too many id's need help setting up family sharing

We currently have one apple id (tjc) that is associated with the apple store and one that is associated with itunes (m7).  The itunes one (m7) does not have an icloud account attached to it, used only for purchases from itunes store.  Husband uses the apple store id (tjc) and I have my own (jj).  Can I set up family sharing with the itunes id (m7) as the purchaser?  Or how do I keep all my itunes purchases if we make husbands/apple store id (tjc) the primary?

 

Currently running OS X yosemite and ios 8 on an imac, iphones, and ipads.

 

Thanks for your assistance!

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    Hi bremaura,

     

    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to havde all purchases from one Apple ID available in Family sharing. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

     

    Family Sharing - Apple Support

    All your family’s purchases, on all your family’s devices.

    Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, all the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the family. And, of course, so are new purchases. 

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Have a great day,

    Mario
