My mom and I are on family sharing but the music won’t share. She bought music, and my Apple Music app will not acknowledge the fact that our media and purchases are shared. What should we try next?

Hi again,

Sorry you had no success there ... you would have seen that only one Apple ID would need to be used for access.


Wondering if you Mum has an individual subscription to Apple Music,

or a student subscription, or a family subscription to Apple Music.


Noticing Apple Support has this article ....(says only a family subscription to Apple Music can be shared.)

What types of content can I share with my family?


Hope this helps :)

Hi LeadoffMite6437,

Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other :)


Apple Support have a "Related Article" link for you, just above your question on this page.

Hoping the article, that opens from the link, contains all the info. you need to sort out and fix the sharing difficulty.


Else

Please feel free to "Post" here again.

Cheers :)
