Please note that this post focuses on U.S. I’ll be focusing only on some of the more confusing and less well defined issues. This post is not intended to cover all questions surrounding Family Sharing. I’ve spent the past few days finding answers to some of the harder-to-track-down Family Sharing questions and navigating some of the early confusion involved in setting up a Family Sharing group, and I wanted to share what I’ve learned. Family Sharing is a welcome addition and makes the process of sharing content easier and more robust, but it is still a somewhat complex feature to setup and fully understand. A conveniently created family photo gallery, calendar, reminders, and location sharing add to the Family Sharing benefits. Family Sharing allows each family member to have their own separate account, while still being able to share iTunes and App Store content with the rest of the family group. Although sharing iTunes and App Store content has been possible on iOS and OS X, the process of sharing Apple IDs was unsupported, inconvenient and messy. One of the most anticipated new features in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite is Family Sharing.
