Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Trying to set up Family Sharing. The problem is my Daughter was the first person to get an apple product that could sync to the cloud. Now her name is linked to my apple ID and I need to change it to mine and i can't figure out how to change it. Help please.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 8.1.3
Where are you seeing her name "linked" to your Apple ID? Mac? PC? iOS device? Where specifically are you looking that you see this?
Cheers,

It appears on all the devices we have on that apple ID in airdrop. 2 iPads, 1 iPod, 2 iPhones and a Macbook.
It appears where, exactly? What screen? I'm trying to figure out where you are seeing this name as opposed to your Apple ID. So I need to know exactly what screen you are seeing it on....
Or are you talking about the email being used for the Apple ID itself? If that is what you are referring to, you can EDIT it to a new email address via Manage your Apple ID. However, before you do that, be SURE to sign out of iCloud on all of your device and Mac. If you do not, it will cause issues. You probably want to sign out of Messages, FaceTime, and iTunes & App store on all of the devices and Mac as well.
Then you can go to: Apple - My Apple ID, sign on with the current Apple ID, and then EDIT it to the new email address you want it to be. Note: you cannot change an Apple ID that is using an Apple domain like @me.com, @mac.com, or @iCloud.com. Any other email address being used for the Apple ID can be EDITed to a new valid email address.
