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...

Cannot start family sharing: Apple id is already used for shared purchases

I'm trying to set-up family sharing on multiple devices, but I'm informed that my mac.com address is "already used for shared purchases" and "accounts can only be part of one Family at a time" with a dialogue box of "OK". We are only one family, and all devices were recently under my iTunes/Apple account. How do I change that so that I can set up family sharing? I have an 11 year old itching for her own phone and want to be able to share, but also to manually approve purchases (which I think is the point of family sharing, especially with someone under 13.)

I FIGURED THIS ONE OUT!!! What happened was initially I had set up a Family Sharing account under my wife's old iCloud login (old email address) . I had set her up as the administrator of the account. We used MY credit card info to handle any purchases made.
Some time later we decided to share MY iCloud account rather than having separate accounts (thus, same email for iCloud login). While switching her out of her old iCloud login over to sharing my login, it never crossed my mind that I had used her old iCloud login to set up Family Sharing. Since her old iCloud login was set up as the administrator of the account, all I had to do was sign into iCloud with her old email address and password that she had used before. Once logged in, I went to Family Sharing and chose an option to stop Family Sharing. As soon as I did that, I re-logged in with the new shared iCloud account and was able to immediately set up Family Sharing. Phew!!!
Hope this helps

Family Sharing set up problem

I am trying to add family sharing from my iPad. When i tap"set up Family Sharing" I get this message: "Only an adult with a valid iTunes & App store payment method can set up Family Sharing." Credit card info is all up to date (even did and itunes purchase to test it). I've tried everything I can think of... Help!!!

I'm not sure what the problem would be. Try contacts iTunes store support for assistance by by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products & Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption>The topic is not listed. The call should be free of charge.

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.

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!

No.

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.

Moving a Family Member from my Itunes to Their Own for Family Sharing

Family Sharing- Photos not showing from 1 member

We have 3 members in family sharing. The organizer, a parent/guardian, and a child. The child account was added the past 2 days. When the child member posts a photo to the family album, the organizer sees the photo, but the parent/guardian does not on either her iPhone or iPad. If the child account adds an event to the family calendar all members see the event on all devices. Photos posted by the organizer show up in the family album for the parent/guardian. It seems the problem lies only with the parent/guardian seeing the photos posted by the child.
The parent/guardian iPad is running iOS 8.2 and rebooted. Her iPhone is running iOS 7.1.2 due to lack of space restricting software updates.
Any ideas?

Parent/guardian should try to sign out of icloud and itunes and restart device and sign back in. If that does not help I would actually try to restore one of the devices and setup as new. If that does not work, I would contact apple to check server side.

Hello Appu Iyer,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Family Sharing is not dictated by the device, but the Apple ID associated with the device. Please take a look at the following support article to learn more about Family Sharing.

Still need a password to update apps purchased by another Family Sharing member!

On iOS 8.1, I can enter App Store app, tap on the Purchased tab at the bottom, and then tap the upper-left corner to choose one of the members in the same Family Sharing members, then tap on the "download cloud" icon next to any apps purchased by that member. Doing so, I don't need to enter the password that Family Sharing member's Apple ID. But, whenever apps, those purchased by other Family Sharing members, have an update, I would need to change the Apple ID to that Family Sharing member and enter the password, in order to enable the app update. Or, those apps will stay on the Updates page of the App Store app, waiting to be updated, forever.
How can the app update of apps purchased by other Family Sharing members be set automatic?

No. To update apps you have to sign intot he account that purchased them.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
Just purchase the apps with your account
