Does the “Add Family Member” option allow me to share Music with Family members?

[Chris Cook5]

i’m trying out Apple Music family for the first time. This might be a stupid question but is where you add family members in order to share Apple Music with members

 

[Just_Me_D]

Yes

 

[SwitchBeach]

Yes. That's where you would do it.

i’m invited my cousin. He is not a member to start with and has not done the free trial. is he still able to accept my invitation. He does have an Apple ID by the way if that has anything to do with it

The answer is still yes.

can you turn “find my” location OFF for some of the users if one person doesn’t want it.

do you just turn OFF the settings on the person’s phone under

 

[SwitchBeach]

Each user needs to set what they want to share.

do you know why I would get a message like this when I was trying to share with my family on music? I first noticed it yesterday and I was trying to play it on Apple TV just now.

Sometimes artists release different albums per region. Or even one intended to sell at a particular store.
That album may not be available in every region or country or state.
Just tell the name and artist of the song and ask people to look it up themselves.

wonder why I can still play the song on my phone and my Mac desktop but I can’t play the song on my TV or share the song

Do you use the same iCloud account on the TV?

 

[Chris Cook5]

yes

Could be some licensing issue. Company A holds rights for mobile and computer use, but doesn't have any use for TV "broadcasting".

 

[Chris Cook5]

But why would it prevent you from sharing the album with other people

It could be the same reason. It doesn’t have to make sense to us, mere mortals

You should be able to share Music with other people, as long as they have Music on their device. How, exactly, are you trying to share it?

 

[Chris Cook5]

by Long pressing on the album and going down to share album

Are you sure the person you're sharing with has Music enabled?

 

[Chris Cook5]

sorry I never responded back. for some reason it’s been working ever since. The album I had problems with has been fixed. I don’t know what the deal was
