Use Family Sharing to share iTunes Store purchases on PC

With Family Sharing, up to six family members can download each other’s iTunes Store purchases to their own computers and devices. Family members can also hide their purchases so others can’t download them.

To use Family Sharing, you need an Apple ID, and you must be invited to join a family group.

View and download other family members’ iTunes Store purchases

In the iTunes app on your PC, choose Account > Family Purchases.

If you can’t see Family Purchases, Family Sharing isn’t set up for you.

Click a name near the top-left corner (next to Purchased), then choose a family member to view their purchases.

To download an item, click its iCloud Download button .

To view only your downloaded items, click Downloaded in the sidebar on the left.

Hide your iTunes Store purchases

Family members can hide their individual iTunes Store purchases from other family members.

In the iTunes app on your PC, choose Account > Family Purchases.

Click a name near the top-left corner (next to Purchased), then choose your name to view your purchases.

Click a content type on the right.

A list of purchases for the selected content type appears.

Move the pointer over the item you want to hide, click the Delete button , then click Hide.

To see purchases you’ve hidden, choose Account > View My Account, sign in (if necessary), then click Manage to the right of Hidden Purchases (above Purchase History). To make a hidden item visible again, click the item’s Unhide button.

Family Sharing is designed to be used by a single family (adults and children). You can be part of only one family group at a time, but can switch to a different family group up to twice a year. Features may vary based on country or region.

Important: To share purchases, all members of the family group must be in the same country or region (as determined by the billing address associated with their Apple ID). If a family member moves to another country or region and updates their Apple ID information, that person might lose access to the purchases of other family members, and installed apps that were shared by other family members might not work. See the Apple Support article Change your Apple ID country or region.

See the Apple Support article What is Family Sharing? or visit the Family Sharing website.

Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID

If you want to share purchases or subscriptions with family, use Family Sharing. Each person should use their own Apple ID.

Avoid sharing an Apple ID

Apple recommends that you do not share your Apple ID. Instead, set up Family Sharing so that each person uses their own Apple ID. This way, your family can share purchases, subscriptions, and more without sharing personal information like email, text messages, or passwords.

If you share your Apple ID with a family member, certain services will treat you as the same person. You might see these issues:

• Apple Music family subscription: Instead of receiving your own membership with your own library, you’ll share a library and recommendations with the other family member.
• App Store, Apple Books, and iTunes purchases: If Family Sharing is ever stopped, the owner of the shared Apple ID will keep all purchases. You might lose access to everything in the account, including purchases you initiated.
• Apple Podcasts, Apple Books: Podcast episodes and bookmarks might sync according to the other family member’s preferences or be accidentally deleted.
• Messages: You might receive text messages that are intended for your family member.

Help your family member create an Apple ID, then set up Family Sharing

To avoid issues caused by sharing an Apple ID, set up an Apple ID for each family member and set up Family Sharing.

1. On the family member’s device, sign out of iCloud.
2. Ask your family member to create an Apple ID. If the family member is under 13, create an Apple ID for your child.
3. Ask your family member to sign in to iCloud with their new Apple ID on their device.
4. Set up Family Sharing and invite the family member to your group.
5. Set up purchase sharing. If you have children in your family, you can also set up Ask to Buy.
6. Now you can share purchases, subscriptions, and more with your family.
