Hello.
My son now wants an itunes account of his own to start downloading music from the store. Up till now he has downloaded and used Apps on his Dads account. Im assuming you can share Apps on home sharing? Whats the best way forward?
Thanks
Do you mean family sharing ? Home sharing lets your stream music / videos from a computer's iTunes to another computer's iTunes or iOS device, or to copy them between computers.
You can use family sharing, which will mean that purchases are charged to the family organiser's card (a family member can use a balance on their account, otherwise they will be charged to the organiser) : Family Sharing - Apple Support
Thanks. I do know about the family sharing yes, but my understanding is that you cant share Apps.
You can share most apps, but not in-app purchases done within them : What types of content can I share with Family Sharing? - Apple Support
You can share:
- Music, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store.
- Books from the iBooks Store.
- Most apps from the App Store.
- Your Apple Music Family membership.
The availability of iTunes content and Apple Music depends on your country.
To share apps, you need iOS 8 or later or OS X Yosemite or later.

OK. Thanks muchly.
