Q: Family Sharing DOESN'T work - it's VERY HARD to setup

I've spent almost 3hrs trying to figure out how to setup family sharing for my kids. My kids are both younger than 13yo. I setup the first account and the process went through fine, but received NO email, NO rescue email and I CANNOT access the new email I setup for my son. So now I'm stuck, how the **** is this easy if I can't even get past this?

I searched the forum and couldn't find anything of the sort.

I tried resetting the password on the website, and it says the birthday is in correct - which its not obviously.

So now what???

I have to say, ever since Steve Jobs passed away, Apple has been crap!

Hi Zak,

I'm sorry to hear that it has been such a frustrating experience for you, but my family members and I have not had any trouble with family sharing or child accounts. I don't have enough information to know what the problem is in your case, but these articles may be of some assistance to you

If you still aren't able to get it set up you can contact Apple Support, who may be able to work through the issue with you. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for your reply, I actually figured out that this whole time the registration NEVER actually occurred! and when I went to put in the DOB, it would say incorrect rather than say to me the account doesn't exist.... go figure!
