Family sharing doesn't work with music

I finally switched the kids over to their own iCloud accounts and turned on Family Sharing. They've been successfully added as members and when they want an app I get an approval request. I can also view their location. That all works fine, but they can't see my shared music. I've removal and added them as family members, made sure my music is shared, etc. Nothing works. Anyone else seeing this?

Just spoke to a Senior Advisor at Apple and it turns out that family members can't see music from iTunes Match.  They can only see music purchased from the iTunes store and even then they have to download it before they can play it.  This totally ruins Family Sharing for me.  Now I have to log into my account on the kid's devices for them to see all of the music, but because the iTunes and App store logins are combined in Settings I'll effectively be disabling the whole app approval process.  I see two solutions to this issue.  First, Apple could enable the sharing of iTunes Match since I already own the music anyway and am allowed to have it on multiple devices.  Secondly, and less desirable, they could separate the iTunes and App Store logins in settings.  I'm off to disable Family Sharing...

  • Locate my iPhone + family sharing doesn't work anymore

    Hi everyone,
    I am using Family Sharing to share my location with my wife.
    Everything has worked since the release of iOS 8 so probably 4 month.
    Today, I've noticed that I can't locate all of her devices (iPhone + iPad).
    What I've tried :
    - logoff / login from iCloud on both account
    - enable / disable sharing position
    - reboot iPhones
    By the way she can locate me.
    To be clear, I am not using "Sharing location" in the Messages App.
    I am using in with Family Sharing.
    Does anyone have the same problem ?
    Maybe the problem is on the Apple servers ...
    Thanks.
    Here is a screenshot : here

    You have hardware damage to the screen and possibly other components.  Take the phone to Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

  • Home Sharing doesn't work with Vista?

    I'm having trouble trying to set up the new Home Sharing feature between my two computers.
    Computer #1 uses Vista x64 OS while Computer #2 uses XP OS (Yes, they're wired on the same network). Both have iTunes 9.0.1.8 software installed and are authorized computers under a single account. My XP comp can see my Vista Library just fine while my Vista x64 comp gives me an error:
    "The shared library [insert name here] is not responding. (-3259) Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
    Multiple web sources suggested opening this port as well as Port 5353 and adding iTunesHelper.exe and iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to my "Exceptions" list in my personal/virus scan firewalls. I've done this to both comps and my router with no result. I've checked the box under Preferences > Share my library on my local network and there is still no change. Googling this error has led me to believe the problem lies within the iTunes software.
    If anyone has any ideas or information on this problem, I'd appreciate the help. Thank you.

    I've restarted everything and deauthorized and rechecked sign in name and reset the iTV and so forth.  iTV will not see the shared computer, although the iPad and iPhone do.  I've wasted too much time on this.  It occured after the recent update. Wonder when Apple will acknowledge and fix.

  • So, Home Sharing doesn't work with WiFi?

    I was previously able to stream content from my Mac (via ethernet) to Apple TV. I've since started using Airport Extreme as a hub - everything reaches the internet but now no Mirroring, iTunes sharing or file sharing.

    Answer: Apple TV was on my guest network. Switched to main network, problem solved.

  • Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview (9879 Build)

    Why Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview?
    It works well Windows 8.1, but why not in Windows 10?

    Hi PriTeddy,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    As Paul Adare said, Microsoft has noticed such issue, they are listed in following blog:
    http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/11/12/new-build-available-to-the-windows-insider-program/
    Some known problems:
    As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.
    •In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
    •You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
    •Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
    •Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
    •There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.
    Let’s wait for next builds.

  • Lumia 920 - internet sharing doesn't work: Connect...

    Hello all,
    I'm experiencing a serious problem with the lumia 920. It seems impossible to share my internet connection. Something I normally use for several hours a day. If this problem can't be fixed soon, ill be forced to swithc back to iphone or htc.
    Problem description:
    When turning "internet sharing" on:
    Connection not shared - There is no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal, and try again.
    Important remarks
    Belgium - cellular provider is Mobistar
    I can browse, sync email, etc over the provider's network ans send and receive MMS.
     Provider does not block internet sharing. Have always used this.
    OS Version 8.0.10211.204
    Firmware revision: 1232.5957.1308.0002
    Access point :
     Nokia Access Point version:3.4.1.7 - db 2.0.0.100 - lib 1.2.0.7
     The default access point provided in the Nokia Access Point app does not work: can't even browse.
     Using a manually added APN:
     Data type (default / LTE) tried both. Everything keeps working - except internet sharing...
     APN pro.web.be  (for professional subscribers)
    MMS APN mms.be
    MMSC address: https://mmsc.mobistar.be
    What have i tried to remedy the situatiuon?
     updated the Nokia Access Point app
     changed language to spanisch using OTA update (silly, but read on a forum this might help)
     soft reset of the phone (often!)
     deleted the manually created access point
     Hard reset of my phone
    I'm interested, of course, in any tips to solve this serieus bug / issue / problem.
    (my best guess is that Nokia tries to help their customers with the Access point app, but fails to do so).
    Please, if any of you experience the same problem please respond to this post so we can get an idea about how big of a problem this is.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem. But I let it go after weeks of corresponding with Mobistar.
    Yesterday I went to a Mobistar shop, the guy tried lots of thing I already tried (different apn's, ...).
    Then he told me the it's a problem with business clients. They have to use the apn web.pro.be, where internet sharing doesn't work (he doesn't know why).
    But, that if I call to Mobistar and ask to activate apn mworld.be on my telephone number, it should work.
    Today I called Mobistar Business (you can find the helpdesk number on your invoices), asked to activate mworld.be to have internet sharing access on a windows phone.
    Half an hour later, using mworld.be as apn i have internet access, and I can share my internet connection.
    regards,
    Stijn

  • Male to male audio cable for car doesn't work with my iphone 4s?

    I have a 3.5 mm male to male cable that I have used in my car so I can listen to my music.  It works fine with my iphone 3G, but it doesn't work with the new 4s.  Is there a special cable I need to use with it?  It's weird, because my earbuds work with either iphone, but not the audio cable.  Suggestions??

    I have the exact same issue with my new 4S.
    I haven't find a solution yet.

  • The speaker is not working with music on my iPhone 4S

    The speaker is not working with music and often stops working with headphones.  Is there a way to fix?  I've tried the volume manually, in settings, restarting the phone, but nothing seems to work.  The volume bar doesn't even appear on the screen.

    That's unfortunate.  Have you searched this forum and read all the useful troubleshooting tips?  What exactly have you done thus far to remedy your situation?

  • IPod Stuff doesn't work with my new iPhone

    I finally sprung for the iPhone three weeks ago and I love it. But I think I'm going to have to buy more new stuff. Neither set of my portable speakers that I use with my iPod (5th gen. video) work with the iPhone. When I put the iPhone in the dock, I get some message about Airplane Mode. Music does play through the speakers, but they won't charge the iPhone. When I put the iPhone on its own charger and tried to use the auxiliary input on the speakers, there was only silence.
    Do I need a special cable or something?
    Also, my car charger for the iPod doesn't work with the iPhone.
    Am I going to have to spring for another set of portable speakers? I've read that the Pure-Fi is compatible with iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Both my mini and my video iPod were USB -- not Firewire.
    Both your Mini and your iPod with video synced via USB and charged via USB when connected to your Mac, but they also support charging via Firewire and most of the older 3rd party devices charged iPods via Firewire - your iPods include firewire pins in the connector for charging via firewire.
    The first generation iPhone also syncs and charges via USB when connected to a computer, and the first generation iPhone also includes firewire pins for charging via firewire also, as your iPods include. The first generation iPhone does not support syncing via Firewire, but it does support charging via Firewire.
    Apple removed the firepins from the iPhone 3G connector as they have done with all new iPods released after a certain date and for all new iPods to be released in the future. 3rd party device manufacturers were made aware of this so all new 3rd party devices must support charging via USB only or include charging via USB in addition to charging via Firewire if a new device is to be backwards compatible with older iPods.

  • My iPod doesn't work with iTunes 10. Help please!

    Greetings to all!
    Help please! I updated to iTunes10, and now my ipod nano 4th generation doesn't work with it. Actually the "Devices" menu doesn't show up, although the operating system recognizes it. What should i do? I refuse to buy another one. Should i install an older version of itunes? If i do so, may i loose my musics and stuff that i have in library?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Laters,

    You should always have backup of your iTunes folder.
    Downgrading to iTunes 9 will not cause you to lose your music etc.
    Have you checked via Software Update in the System Preferences for any updates.
    Have you tried the 5 R's for the iPod?

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.
