Q: Family Share-ITunes

So we paid and set up for the family share plan.  I want to download all of the music from one member of my families itunes onto my phone.  I go to itunes and purchases and from there i can download all recent purchases together, but all the rest I have to do one at a time.  This is thousands of songs and would take forever.  How can I do this quicker or did they just really drop the ball on this??

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2

    Hey jasoccer17,

     

     

    I understand that you're looking to download shared content that's been purchased by a particular family group member. Fortunately there is, indeed, a way to show content purchased by a particular family group member, as detailed below.

    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. Open the store app that you want to download content from, and go to the purchased page: 
         
      • App Store: Tap Updates > Purchased.
      •  
      • iTunes Store: Tap More > Purchased.
      •  
      • iBooks: Tap Purchased.
    2. Tap the family member's name to see their content. Learn what to do if you don’t see any content or can’t tap your family member.

    3. To download an item, tap the download icon cloud_download_logo.png next to it.

    Mac

    1. Open the iTunes, iBooks, or Mac App Store and go to the Purchased page.
    2. To the right of Purchased, select a family member's name to view their content.

    3. Download or play the items that you want.

    Apple TV

    1. On your Apple TV, select Movies, TV Shows, or App Store.
    2. Select Purchased > Family Sharing, then select your family member to see their content. You can access shared movies, TV shows, and apps on Apple TV, but not music.
