Error 1005 family sharing.

When I received the Error 1005 I found it was that the iCloud terms and conditions hadn't been agreed to on the phone trying to accept the invite to family sharing. Once I went to that phone and completed the iCloud term and conditions setup the invite completed without issue.

Hope this helps someone

so how do you accept the icloud terms and conditions

Thank you for reaching out Justakay,

It sounds like you are seeing the "Something went wrong. The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.family.error error -1005.)" message while trying to join a family group. We can help.

First, let's make sure that you're following these steps to Add a member to a Family Sharing group on iPhone. This will include confirming the invitation is being sent from the family organizer to the joining family member, making sure that they have left any previous family share groups, and agreeing to any terms and conditions that are presented.

If that has been done, and you continue getting the error -1005 message, you can connect with Apple directly using either Apple Support or if you're in a region without direct support options, you can also Contact Apple for support and service.

Hope that helps.

Take care.

You may have solved this already but posting just in case it helps anyone else.

You cannot accept the T's&C's from the phone.

The only way to do this is to use a web browser and log in with your daughters credentials.

During this process the credentials are authenticated and the terms are accepted.

Once you have done this, you will be able to add her to your family account via your phone.

I was struggling with the same issue and when I saw @whisper_99's post, it gave enough clues to solve the problem.

I received this error because my husband was already apart of another family sharing account. You will have to delete yourself from the other family sharing account and join the new one. ***You can only switch family accounts once per year!

Make sure “Media & Purchases” is turned on under your Apple ID settings. That fixed the errror for us.

I also had the error 1005 issue while trying to access several safe websites (Feb 2024).

The simple fix which works for all websites it seems was to turn off my VPN.

Remember to turn it back on again when you’ve left the site which had displayed the access denied 1005 pop up.

I’m having this error on my daughters phone can you tell me where to go to do the iCloud terms and conditions.

Why it’s not working

How would I get to the terms and conditions from the web browser

You can totally accept the T&C on the phone. We just did this and we had a pop up right away to accept the terms
