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.

Hi Jkirk11,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with Family Sharing. If you are having issues adding family members to your Family Sharing group because they don't appear to be receiving the invites, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful. In particular, if the family members are present, you can actually add them directly on your device by having them enter their Apple ID:

  • Family share invitations not being received

    I have set up family share via IOS 8 for my wife, and the invitation shows as being sent on my phone, but has not been received by my wife's email account. I have removed her invite and re established it several  times with the same result. Anyone understand why?

  • Family Share invitations it takes me to the iCloud sign in page, not the invitations tab.

    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...

  • 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 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 - 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,
    Jeremy 

  • Invites not sent says create address card but I already have one

    invites not sent says create address card but I already have one

    Susan,
    Quit Calendar, click on your card in Contacts, and select Contacts>Card>"Make This My Card."
    If that is not successful, delete, and recreate your card. Then once again make sure to designate it "Make This My Card."

  • 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...

  • Family share purchase not applied toward itunes gift card credit

    I'm using the icloud family share program for my family.  My son has purchased some songs on itunes but my credit card is being billed instead of the credit balance I have on my shared itunes account.  Has anyone else had this same problem and how did you resolve it?

    I believe the credit would have to be on his iTunes store account, not yours, in order to be applied to his purchases before any balance due is charged to the organizer's credit card.  Your purchases would be charged to your credit first.

  • ICloud calendar invites not sent

    When a friend sends meeting invitations, they appear not to ever arrive at the recipient.
    I've been doing some research to work out why, and found a lot of discussion that basically says: if the recipient's email address is associated with an iCloud account, iCloud will always deliver the meeting request to their iCloud account (when really it should go to their email!)
    For example, my email address at Gmail is associated with my iCloud account so I never receive the invited as I don't use iCloud mail. My business address which is on my own domain and not associated with an iCloud account, receives invites just fine.
    Apparently there is a tickbox in iCloud settings which says to deliver the message rather than 'notifying' the user, which is meant to fix it, but this would mean my friend would have to get all of his recipients to do this! A bit ridiculous.
    People appear to have been complaining about this issue for a couple of years - I can't believe Apple still hasn't changed this situation.
    Unless anyone here begs to differ and knows another way around it?

    To follow up on my experience, back around Nov 1st when I originally posted, I had already combed through all the findable threads of related errors and one-by-one determined none of them were applicable to my scenario. Nonetheless, I went through the step of terminating my calendars and recreating them and so forth. All that effort had no effect.
    Fast forward.
    While I'm not a believer in magic, I noticed sometime around Nov 27th (or thereabouts), my calendar invites were suddenly being sent. Perhaps then there is hope for others in my situation. I am confident nothing changed on my side, so perhaps Apple made some silent updates in the cloud that sorted out the issue. In any event, I wanted to report that it suddenly started functioning as desired with no action on my part.

  • Family app requests not sent

    I have charged both my kids Ipod and Ipad with iTunes gift cards.
    Since then (not sure if its related to the charging) when they try to Ask for a purchase, even if its a free one, I don't get any notification. It used to work before.
    Also, the "approve locally" option that appears on their device does not seem to work. It just doesn't open anything.
    Is it a temporary problem ? Is there anything I can do on my device or on theirs ?

    I don't have an answer, but can let you know you're not alone.  My son got an iPod touch right as iOS8 came out.  We hooked him up with a new iCloud account, and he was putting in purchase requests for me to approve- it all worked as expected.  Then for magical reasons, it stopped.

  • Trying to set up family share and the invitation does not show the accept decline option so we can't accept the invitation.  Anyone know how to fix?

    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.
