HomePod OS 17.0 asking to accept terms & conditions

Start up Apple TV, switch user accounts to the person that is having issues, accept Ts&Cs then try again. This worked for me.

Similar problem for me, two Homepods tied in as a stereo pair with Apple TV. I have to accept Apple Music terms and conditions, except I don't have Music, not paying for it, so why this requirement? What I can see is Apple is offering me 6 months free trial of Music and I cannot see anywhere that I can kill that. So I am guessing that I will have to accept the 6 months and then have to remember to stop it later. But first I will try unlinking and relinking to A-TV.

Not a serious issue, getting that free for six months, but super weird. I can't understand why that stops me using the Apple TV linked pair to listen to iHart or TuneIn radio stations. The other Homepod I have in the house is working as normal, lets me listen to radio via Siri.

It happens after changing your Apple ID password. You need to log in to all your music apps on all your device iMac, Apple TV, iPhone, etc. Log in to Apple TV and HomePod on your iPhone in the home app

I have same problem. I unpaired and repaired my two HomePods which disconnected them from Apple TV payback then I could ask Siri to play music on them. What I want is to play music without the TV and to play film sound through the TV when I’m watching. It seems HomePods can only do one or the other, independent or linked as stereo tv speaker, but not both as I could do before ????

This worked for me.

I had to switch account and indeed I saw that my wife had the screen « welcome to Apple Music ».

As a former Apple software engineer, I think it’s ridiculous that it doesn’t tell you exactly which device has the problem, or as others have suggested, give you the option to accept the terms once, on any device that’s convenient. I have about 20 different devices that I would need to check. Fortunately, it appears that the problem was Apple Music on the Apple TV paired to the HomePods in my case as well. My wife and daughter were starting to get upset with me.

This seems like a bug, and I’d recommend reporting it as such via the Feedback app.

This was extremely frustrating — checked all my iPads, iPhones even signed in on my Mac into iTunes incase there was something I was missing. Reset the home Pod multiple of times. Even removed the HomePod and still no joy. Even went into the Apple Settings on the AppleTV to select the T&Cs but nothing there.

This had been going on for several days. Until I read about the Opening Apple Music on the TV.

Surely there is a much easier and simpler way to make this better for users.

Just unmarked “family share” option in you iPhone subscriptions page, or make sure Terms and Condtions are accepted in all family devices.

This absolutely worked for me, I've been looking for a solution for weeks.

Maybe for your wife, she can login with her user on the Apple TV and check if she can use Apple Music. Solved it here.

Thanks, needed this. In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure this is how the end will happen...by an innocent line of code that somebody won't know how to respond to fast enough. "Wait , why is that light on?" <BOOOM>

I think this is a bug - I’m able to play music on our HomePod, with Siri requests; however, my husband gets this same error message. All of his Apple devices have been updated and Apple Music launched and works fine on each of them.

I am facing same problem in France… I checked and launch Apple Music on each of my device but the home pod still repeat to accept the condition of Apple Music - how could I get a refund of my Apple Music subscription ? (At least until I will be able to request music to Siri on my HomePod)

It seems to be related to anything that's connected to Apple TV. I have an original HomePod and two HomePod Minis for the living room that is playing Apple TV. None of them is paired as a stereo set. I can reboot AppleTV to get it to work, but that's not an applicable fix. Apple needs to do something better than this. It's annoying.

I get the same issue but only for my wife not me. She sees no messages to accept but if I ask for the same song it plays with no problem. All Apple TVs are set as default of my id anyone know how to switch this. She can ask for anything on normal HomePods, “not” connected to an appletv.

No luck - i only have a phone and laptop, both work fine. Weird
