Hi smwbruns,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing (i.e. if you are the one starting a family group, or if you are trying to join a group someone else has created). If you are still having issues either inviting or joining a Family Sharing group, you may find the following article helpful:

I cannot accept or decline invitation under Family Share. Why?
I send an invitation and go into my iCloud email and click on view invitation but it does not give me the option to accept or decline. Anyone know why?

invitation to family share does not have the accept or decline option to choose
Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question. -
I can't accept my family share invitation
When I open my family share invitation it tells me to click on view now to accept the invite. I do this and am redirected to a page that gives me the same instructions. How do I accept the invite?
I do not believe you can on ipod touch that you use, since it is not compatible with ios 8.

Family share invitation with no accept or decline buttons
I have sent a family share invitation to my husband and the invitation he received has no accept or decline button. Why?
Usually, that would mean that he is not running ios 8 or already belongs to other family.

I Have an Ipad, I am the organizer for Family Share. i invited someone (MacAir) and he received the invite but there was no place to accept or deny.
this is for icloud and both of us were signed in. What do I do niw?Hey stupefied,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to accept and join a Family Sharing request on OS X:
Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201088
Join a family group
You can accept or decline an invitation to join a family from you iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If the invitation is sent to your email address, you can also respond right from your email. To accept an invitation in iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud > Invitations. In OS X Yosemite, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Manage Family. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
Thanks,

When I invite someone to join my family share they click on accept and get an error message that they cannot join family share
Lori --
What can I say, but thank you, thank you and thank you!
Your timely response saved the day -- it was a little hairy there for a while, with .jpg files all over the desktop, but after resorting to pen and paper (still necessary at times) and recording the numbers of all files, I am now good to go.
The little green star and the bogue award of 10 points doesn't begin to convey how helpful your post, but it's all we're given (plus these words, of course).
To briefly sum up -- This morning (after the debacle last evening that started all this) I was trying to reconcile myself to the fact that my photos were lost for good and that I had only myself to blame.
Now, I have all my photos back (more than 200 hundred, some of them really kind of cool, if I do say so myself) and all are now sitting nicely in iPhoto waiting to be manipulated, edited and otherwise toyed with.
All thanks to you, Lori.
Not that I wish the heartache I just went through over the last 24 hours on anyone, but I do hope that I get the chance to help someone out as much as I was helped out today. Good Karma and all that.
This site flat out rules!
Thanks again.

Family Share - does not give me the option to accept
I have created family share on my ipad and emailed an invite to my 9 year old son. He does not have an apple account because he is too young. I want him to accept the family share invite but he can not unless I log in with my apple account. If I do this it says I am the organiser!! Now my sons ipad thinks he is me and when he adds games to his they appear on mine!!
Please help!! What do I do ?Hello Caroline,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're setting up Family Sharing so your son can download items from the App Store.
Since your son is 9 years old, you need to create an Apple ID for him using the steps in this article:
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
You will be able to add this new Apple ID to the iPad your son uses.
All the best,

Trouble with viewing family share invite on email??
I am the family share manager and i sent out 2 invites to family members. they were not able to open the invite on the email. Has anyone ran into this problem???
A bit different, I've been sending and resending the invitations under Family Sharing but none of my kids nor wife have yet to receive a single invitation yet to attempt and open and accept ?? Had zero issues updating to Yosemite and IOS 8 across all my devices but family sharing I am spinning my wheels going nowhere. Docs said they can accept actual email or by invite showing up in family sharing under iCloud in System Preferences. Try the other...

How does a family member accept family share without iOs8?
I want to add a member of my family to join me in family share. They have the latest version of itunes on their Windows computer. They have an iPhone 4 (so can't load ios8). Is there a way for them to accept so we can start sharing our itu
I do want my daughter to be able to download apps or updates to existing apps even when she is not with me, but that doesn't seem possible without sharing passwords.
That is indeed not possible. She'll either need to re-acquire all those apps through her own iTunes Store account, you'll have to give her the password to your account, or you'll have to do all the updating for her.

Family share invitation not sent
I have followed the procedure to set up family share with my wife who has a Mac Book Pro running the latest OS. The invitation shows as sent on my iPhone but has not been received by my wife on her gmail address.

When clicking the Family Share invitations it takes me to the iCloud sign in page. How can I get to the iCloud>Invitations area?
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons... -
