Q: How to use my credit card

I am part of a family sharing group but I don't want to use the credit card associated with that account I want to use my credit card. How do I change the settings to fix this?

    You would have to be removed from the Family Sharing account. The only way you can not use the Credit Card for the Organizer is to have a Gift Card balance on the Apple/iTunes account that you are using. It will take the Gift Card balance on your account toward any purchase before it will go to the Organizer's card.

     

    Cheers,

    If I leave the account does it delete the songs I have downloaded from the other members accounts since joining the family sharing account? Or can I keep those since it showed they were saved to the cloud?

    Are they on your device? If they are then they will remain there until you restore or sync your device. From the Apple Support link:

     

    What happens to your content when you stop sharing?

    When you leave Family Sharing, your Apple ID is removed from the family group, and you stop sharing music, movies, TV shows, books, and apps with any remaining family members. In addition, any photos, calendars, and reminders shared by the family group will be removed from your devices. If you chose to share your location, you'll stop sharing your location with other family members, and your devices will be removed from the family Find My iPhone device list.

    Any content that your family shared with you isn't automatically removed from your device. You can purchase it again or remove it to free up space on your device. If you downloaded an app from a family member’s purchase history and made In-App Purchases, you'll need to purchase the app yourself to access your In-App Purchases.

    Any DRM-protected music, movies, TV shows, books, or apps that you previously downloaded from other family member's collections will no longer be usable, and other family members won't be able to use content downloaded from your collection. Learn more about Digital Rights Management (DRM) in iTunes for Mac or iTunes for Windows.

    You'll keep any purchases you initiated while part of the family group. However, if the organizer was paying for your iCloud storage or any other ongoing subscriptions, you'll need to start paying for them yourself using a valid payment method on your account. Learn how to add a credit or debit card to your iTunes Store account.
