Issues with multiple iPhones using one iTunes/iCloud account?

I have been using an iPhone 5 since February. Within the last two weeks, two other lines on our family account have started using iPhones (the 5c). All of them are using the same iTunes/iCloud account.

There are a couple of small issues that I can't figure out on my own and I was hoping someone could help me.

First, when I download music, the other two phones are getting notifications from the iTunes store about turning on Automatic Downloads. We do not want/need automatic downloads and I would like to turn these notifications off. How do I do that?

Second, when I visit the App Store or iTunes Store on my phone, I have to enter my iTunes password to make a purchase or download something (even if it is free). The other two phones on my account do not. How do I change that?

I think that is all for now, but I appreciate your help!

When it comes to automatic downloads Settings-iTunes & app stores and make sure they are off.

You can't change that. When you download something it will ask for the password. You can change the amount of time in between when it asks you in Settings-General.

  • Why is my Facebook account logged onto multiple devices? I was just randomly checking my account settings and was looking at devices that are logged onto my Facebook and it shows multiple devices, all from iphone 7plus which is what I have. This might be a stupid question, but wouldn't it just say iphone 7plus once if my phone is the only one logged onto Facebook? On my account settings, it shows 5 other iPhone 7 plus. Does this mean someone else is using my Facebook? I'm just really confused.
  • Is there any way I can transfer stuff I purchased from iTunes on one account, to a new/other account? Let's say I purchased 30 songs & 3 movies on an account with iTunes (let's call that account, account A) & now, 2 years later, I create a new account (account B) & now I want to keep my old stuff, the 30 songs & 3 movies, is there any possible way I can transfer my purchased items from account A to account B?
  • IPhone 4s connection issues? Update issues? I updated my iPhone 4s and as it turned on it will not let me go past the set up as it says I don't have a developer account? I'm not a developer and I do not have a developer account I can't restore the device as since I did the update the phone won't connect! WHAT SHOULD I DO? If anything does anyone have a developer account just so I can get into my phone? Yes I updated to iOS7 well tried and I can't restore as it won't connect
  • In itunes is there any way to select multiple songs to send to itunes library? I just mixtapes from datpiff and the only way i could put it in my library was to select manage songs manually under my devices. I didn't know that it would delete my songs from my iphone to put that on but it did. I only have songs from itunes, not beemp3 or datpiff.luckily all my songs are saved under the music file and its 319 songs. Is there any way i can select all them to put in my library? I know about the hold shift trick but its not working.
