HomePod OS 17.0 asking to accept terms & conditions

I talked to Apple Support and the problem is solved:

Go to Settings - Music - Sync Library - Turn off the Toggle - restart device - turn on the toggle again

I’ve had this happen twice. Both times opening Apple Music in one of my Apple TVs and accepting the agreement addresses the issue for all 8 of my devices.

You are a genius. I was ready to cancel everything Apple! I have two HomePod minis paired with my Apple TV. Every time I tried to ask Siri to play music on the HomePods, I would get that 'You must agree to Apple terms blah blah"--but how? I tried finding this mysterious agreement. I tried signing out of iCloud, unpairing everything etc etc. Every day, I try another stab at it and it makes me crazy.

Saw your answer just a few minutes ago. I went onto Apple TV and into the music app and played something--voila! I can play music on the minis again. Thank you!!!

I could use HomePod through Siri but my wife had same issue as others. We opened music on both her iPhone and iPad and played music on both. Issue not solved. Then turn both iPhone and iPad off. First turned iPad on, then tried HomePod issue resolved, then turn on iPhone. All works fine now.

Thank you!!!!!

I think just opening Apple Music on my Apple TV solved my problem, which was so annoying. it kept saying you need to accept the terms and conditions for all of your devices. I’ve been like oh s*** but now my HomePod is playing some music

Yes, that was a problem I was having all of a sudden, and didn't know where to go to approve terms and conditions. I never go to music on appletv but I tried it, played a song, problem solved.

This is it!!! Should be top answer.

go onto out Apple TV and play something on music and bam it works.

my speaker is the primary speaker for Apple TV so maybe why

I too was having this issue.

I opened the music app on my ATV4K paired to my HomePods. There it had the blurb about the new features and I clicked continue. Everything worked after that.

Edit: I thought it worked… works for me now and still not for my wife 😠

Wish that Siri would just tell you exactly what to do instead of just being vague. Something like “open the music app on each of your devices and press continue”.

I was also having this problem only with the paired HomePod minis connected to Apple TV 4K. (I have other HomePod minis that are responding fine when I ask Siri). Strangely, I could ask Siri to play one radio station through TuneIn but not another. I was trying to use the speakers alone, not with Apple TV. I just turned on Apple TV, went to the Music app, tuned into the station I’d wanted, encountered success, then turned off the Apple TV and went back to asking Siri to play the station I’d wanted on the paires HomePod minis connected to Apple TV, and voilà! It worked!

Yes - switch account on the Apple TV (press the Home button) to the user concerned and open the Music app. Once the welcome splash screen is displayed they should have access to music via Siri on the Homepod(s) connected to that Appele TV (and hopefully other Apple TVs in the house).

Ok, Apple - if you are listening - please reset your terms and conditions to apply to all devices when it's main user appleId accepts on any single device.

I'm not sure what did it exactly, but I forgot about my appletv device. It was also upgraded to V17. While everything worked everywhere and I never came to a terms and conditions page, I did 2 things last night: Managed to get my wife connected (is this new? Settings -> Users and Accounts -> additional Users), and went to the music app in the apple tv and just played something. One of those worked. Seems good today.

I had the same issue with my wife's account. I could use Siri on our HomePod Minis but she could not. I did two thing, which either worked together or one of which worked. I first unpaired and re-paired the minis, then also toggled her iCloud Home setting. Finally I rebooted the minis, although doing that on its own first had no effect.

Yeah I had to unpair everything and pair it again. My original HomePods seem to like to randomly only have one working at a time even though they’re a stereo pair as well since this update.

and this issue with the terms and conditions has happened twice now, months apart.
