iMore Question
All of my purchases have been on [redacted]@gmail.com (not the actual addresses other than after the @) I also have an Apple ID that my wife and I have been sharing which is [redacted]@me.com. The problem is that with the shared Apple ID, the iPhones and iPad keep cross pollinating our phone calls and I can't get it to stop. So I decided to have my wife and I use separate Apple IDs. So I have [redacted]@me.com and she has [redacted]@me.com (we previously only used these for email) So I turned on family sharing and set up [redacted]@me.com as the organizer. Under use this account share purchases, I selected the [redacted]@gmail.com account since that is where all the purchases were made. I invited my wife and son and they are part of the family sharing group each sharing their own purchases, if any, from wife@me.com and [redacted]@icloud.com. I also signed up for the Apple Music Family plan. The problem is none of the purchases or Apple Music is being shared. My son got an email notice that he was part of the group for apple music, but when you tap start here, it takes him to the page for him to sign up for a 3 month trial which he shouldn't need because he is on my family account. I had a lot of other problems which I resolved on my own doing research and trying different things, but this one I just cannot solve. Frankly, the whole thing has been a confusing mess. Apple used to be the very best at simplicity. The situation with Apple ID's is a disaster for anyone that was on the system back when it was just iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
