Cannot add member to family sharing

I tried to add a family member to family sharing under i cloud and I got to the send invitation screen and the page doesn't load after that, and nobody gets and invite.

Im having this same problem. One of my family members worked perfectly but another member has hit this same hurdle.

When I try to set up family sharing I get "This account is already shared by another family member. Family sharing works best if every family member uses their own account." how do I reset? I can't find where it is being used.

Hi jmeckoll1,
It sounds as if you are trying to set up family sharing starting with an Apple ID which someone has already used to start a family group. Presumably this person is within the family group you want to share with. One solution to this issue would be to ask to join this family group. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Join a family
If this is not the desired result, you will need to set up your own family group using an unused Apple ID that is in use for iCloud. See this article -

Where do I add birthdate for family sharing?

I'm trying to setup family sharing between myself and my wife--both using the iPhone 6.
I will be the organizer but I cannot get past it saying I need to add my birthday to the i Cloud setting. But on the phone under i Cloud settings I see no place to enter the birth date?
Mark

The resolution is found in the ambiguity of the explanatory text on the phone. The statement says to add your birth date on the i Cloud page. The proper wording would be on the i Cloud website as distinguished from the i Cloud phone setting page.
Problem solved.

HT201060 Cannot add Family Member to Family Sharing

Click on 'Add Family Member...'
After entering their email, I am asked for my Apple ID password.
After entering password I click on 'Next' in top right corner.
'Next' turns into a spinny for a second then back to 'Next.
I never reach the next page and so can never finish getting the invite sent to family member.
Help!

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to learn and setup the Life an work events on ESS and do this configuration. Could anybody please outline me the steps to add the "Family member/Dependents" event to the "change of Marital Status" event. Do I have to first create an event called "Change of Marital status" event and then put the "Family member/Dependents" event under it? If yes, how do I create a new event called "Change of Marital Status" event ?
Please help me with this. I have got tight deadlines and I also understand that everyone is busy. However, if someone can please initiate to help me with this effort, that would be really grateful.
thank you,
Maria Kutty Somori...

Family Sharing, how do I do it?

How do I add someone to Family Sharing?

Hello headfx,
The steps below detail how to go about inviting someone to join your family group.
Invite people to join your family
Use these steps in iOS 8:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Family > Add Family Member.
Enter your family member's name or email address.
Follow the onscreen instructions. After you send the invitation, you can check its status under the person's name in Settings > iCloud > Family.
Use these steps in OS X Yosemite:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
Click Manage Family.
Click +, then follow the onscreen instructions.
You can also use these steps to create an Apple ID for a child and add them to your family group. When you create an account for a child, you must use a credit card as the payment method as part of providing your parental consent. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card if you choose.

Family sharing edit child age

Is there any way to correct a child's birthdate with regard to an Apple ID and Family Sharing?
It should be an understandable request, since an input mistake was made with setting her birthdate.
I did not know that setting the birthdate would be an irrevocable setting, since there was no warning about this during the process.
In addition, I cannot remove the account with the mistaken age to start over, due to the message: "Children under 13 cannot be removed from Family Sharing..."
If there is no way to correct a mistaken birthdate, then this feature should be updated to allow it somehow; possibly by allowing a parent to sign in and update it or to request the parent account password to confirm a change of child's birthdate within the Manage Apple ID interface.

You can set restrictions by age rating by going to Settings>General>Restrictions>Apps on his device. (Caution: don't forget the restrictions password or you will have to restore it as a new device, without using a backup, in order to remove the restrictions.)
Or, you can hide the apps you don't want other to be able to download using iTunes on your computer, as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. Just be aware that this will hide them from everyone.

Cannot add memeber to group

Hello since today I've a strange problem with SDS version 5.2.4.
I cannot add member to 2 groups because in the group edit entry I see only "general" and "languages" but not "members".
The problem is only in two of the 30 groups that I've.
Regards
Davide

Update - I have potentially found a workaround.
I removed D:\LUN1\Data from its PG.
I was then able to create the new PG to include D:\Backup.
I was then able to modify the original PG to re-include the NTFS mount D:\LUN1\Data without error, just a consistency check.
Seems to be a little inconsistent...

Can I share contacts too via Family Sharing?

My friend has my old iPhone 4s and she's logged in on my iCloud account. I want to log her in to her own iCloud account and then add her to Family Sharing. I read that we can share contacts and app purchases. But how about our contacts?

Greetings msummerone,
Family Sharing allows members of one family to share items purchased from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. Items from other sources are not part of the content that can be shared through it. See this article for reference -
OS X Yosemite: What is Family Sharing?

Can I add a family member from another country to Family Sharing?

I have been trying to find an answer to this question prior to setting up Family Sharing, but I haven't found anything relevant.
I have a US-based iTunes account and my fiancée has a Canadian iTunes account. Can I setup Family Sharing, add her iTunes account, and share content?
Thanks!

Cannot add my wife to family sharing

I follow instructions. Send email, she accepts, says she already in family. But not really it seems.

Hi Welby,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with Family Sharing. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear exactly which issues you are seeing with your wife's account after attempting to add her. If you feel her account may not be adding correctly, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:
Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
If her account appears to have added, but she is having a function issue like being unable to access shared content, then this article may be more useful:
If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support

I cannot to set family sharing for my family. When i open to iCloud section in settings it says "There's no family information". Why ?

As I said in subject I cannot to set family sharing for my family. When i open to iCloud section in settings it says "There's no family information". Why ?

Yes, to clarify - we get a message that says "(he) is already a member of the Family"... but on my iPhone, it still shows that he is not, ie. that the invitation is still pending acceptance.
A bit more detail - when I enter his name (or even .me email address) at the 'Add Family Member' screen on the iPhone, the system will not accept it. ie. I enter his credentials, hit 'Next', and it does not progress to the next screen...
Bizzare. And he's the one who really needs to be enrolled, not so much my wife - who is successfully signed up!
Hope there's some solution to this...
Help Apple!!!!

I set up family sharing with a secondary ID and now can't add my primary ID to the group.

I signed up for family sharing with a secondary Apple ID that I use for the iTunes store, and included my wife in the group. When I try to also include my primary Apple ID, I get an error message that says "You cannot send an invitation to your own account." The iOS Family Share page lists the secondary ID as the account to share purchases but also shows my primary ID at the top of the page, so apparently has my family group linked to that account as well. I do have some apps in my main account that I need to include in the family group, so I do I get Apple to allow me to include both IDs in that group?
<Email Edited by Host>

In my case the email I had for the family share account was my secondary ID, also listed on my primary account as a backup. I removed it as a backup, but family share still shows that primary ID listed under my name in the Family Share account, but the secondary as the account that will share purchases in Family Share. It still won't let me add the apps in the primary account into family share.
