Q: I dont want to share ALL my music/movies/bookmarks..what to do?

After setting up Family Share- my daughters iPad now has all my contacts, iTunes music, bookmarks, etc...how do I control what music is or is not shared, or what bookmarks or contacts...I assume I can just say don't share any bookmarks or contacts but music I just want to pick or make a shared playlist...

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.3

    Hello meegwell,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    I see from your post that apparently after setting up Family Sharing, all of your iCloud content is now appearing on your daughter's iPad.  This indicates that instead of configuring Family Sharing with her own Apple ID, you have instead signed in to iCloud on her iPad.  To remedy this situation simply sign out of your Apple ID in iCloud, and then let her sign back in with her own content.  For assistance with setting up Family Sharing, I suggest that you take a look at the link below.

    Have a good one.

    Thank you I did once have my daughters iPad logged in to my iCloud account but after setting up family share I changed that, logging out with my ID and in with her own icloud ID.

     

    upon further review, her contacts are correct in Contacts.  However, in the drop down auto fill "recents" list in Mail, my 500+ contacts show up so she can easily accidentally email a work colleague or friend of mine (Which has already happenEd). I know how to remove these one-at-a-time.  Surely there must be a way to "clear all recents" from mail?

     

    ALso, my safari bookmarks continue to reside in her iPad...how do I remove them?

     

    THis his has to be a common issue with parents converting from a single ID to the new family share options?

     

    thanks
