With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share their iTunes Store, App Store, and
iBooks Store purchases, a family calendar, and family photos, all without sharing accounts.
Apple Confidential
Chapter 3 Basics 33
One adult in your household—the family organizer—invites family members to join the family
group and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases those family
members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate
access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. In addition, family
members can easily share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar,
share their location with other family members, and even help locate another family member’s
missing device.
Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian, the family
organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID, and create it
on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to the family group automatically.
Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to
conrmtheAppleIDyouusefortheiTunesStore,AppStore,andiBooksStore.Itisavailableon
devices with iOS 8, Mac computers with OS X Yosemite, and PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0. You
can be part of only one family group at a time.
Set up Family Sharing. Go to Settings > iCloud > Set Up Family Sharing. Follow the onscreen
instructions to set up Family Sharing as the family organizer, then invite family members to join.
Create an Apple ID for a child. Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, scroll to the bottom of the
screen, then tap Create an Apple ID for a child.
Accept an invitation to Family Sharing. Make sure you are signed into iCloud, and that you can
accept a Family Sharing invitation from your iOS device (iOS 8 required), Mac (OS X Yosemite
required), or PC (iCloud for Windows 4.0 required). Or, if the organizer is nearby during the setup
process, he or she can simply ask you to enter the Apple ID and password you use for iCloud.
Access shared iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases. Open iTunes Store, iBooks
Store, or App Store, tap Purchased, then choose a family member from the menu that appears.
When a family member initiates a purchase, it is billed directly to the family organizer’s account.
Once purchased, the item is added to the initiating family member’s account and is shared with
the rest of the family. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each person keeps the items they chose
to purchase—even if they were paid for by the family organizer.
Turn on Ask to Buy. The family organizer can require young family members to request approval
for purchases or free downloads. Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, then tap the person’s name.
Note: Age restrictions for Ask to Buy vary by area. In the United States, the family organizer can
enable Ask to Buy for any family member under age 18; for children under age 13, it’s enabled
by default.

For better security, you can set a passcode that must be entered each time you turn on or wake
up iPod touch.
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > Passcode, then set a 4-digit passcode.
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail
messages and attachments stored on iPod touch, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may
also use data protection.)
Increase security. TurnoSimplePasscodeandusealongerpasscode.Toenterapasscodethat’s
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPod touch

iCloud Keychain
iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website user names and passwords, credit card information,
and Wi-Fi network information up to date. iCloud Keychain works on all your approved devices
(iOS 7 or later) and Mac computers (OS X Mavericks or later).
iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When you’re setting up a
new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess passwords. You can use
AutoFill to have iPod touch enter your user name and password info, making login easy. See Fill
in forms on page 56.
Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill.
iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and
cannot be read by Apple.
Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on iCloud Keychain, then
follow the onscreen instructions. If you set up iCloud Keychain on other devices, you need to
approve the use of iCloud Keychain from one of those devices, or use your iCloud Security Code.
Important: If you forget your security code, you have to start over and set up your iCloud
Keychain again.
Set up AutoFill. Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill. Make sure Names and Passwords,
and Credit Cards, are turned on (they’re on by default). To add credit card info, tap Saved
