Here is a solution where editing the name of a mobile device resolved recent occurrences of this issue. It has worked for at least 11 people (and likely many more who never provided feedback after seeing that solution). It isn't something that Apple has in its documentation so I am putting it in a separate post for those who are interested in exploring beyond Apple's formally documented solutions (although several people have reported they were told about it by official Apple Support).


Go to: Settings > General > About > Name

Change the name

Then "Done" and retry.


You can also achieve the same thing by resetting network settings but that will also reset other network features.

If Ask to Buy isn't working, read the suggestions in the document: If Ask to Buy isn't working - Apple Support about looking for the request in Messages or Notification Center.


Make sure notifications haven't been disabled. This article discusses notifications: Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

and this one Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support


Make sure the software is up to date on all devices involved.


Sometimes it helps to have the devices involved take a fresh look at settings:

● Try signing out of accounts and back in again.

Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

● Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support then choose your model.

iPad: Restart your iPad - Apple Support

Mac: Ways to start up your Mac - Apple Support


If a problem persists, particularly over several days, try contacting Apple for assistance:
