I already have my family set up with family sharing. That's been set up for a few months. Now that I've updated to 8.4, I signed up for the Apple Music family plan. Once I did that, it prompted me to set up my family. When I entered the password for the Apple ID I use for sharing purchases, it said that I was already part of a family and couldn't proceed. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on getting this set up would be appreciated.

I had a similar problem. I set up family sharing a month ago and choose the family plan but everyone in the family just has the same music selection as I do. It is like they don't have their own accounts. They can't choose their own music preferences, they are stuck with the settings for the joint account. Any answers would be great.

We're experiencing the same problem, all of our family members are logged into their individual apple-accounts on app store/itunes, then trying to join apple music we all get the "purchase" screen even though we've already signed up (and paid) for family membership... Only the admin account has actual access to Apple Music.
This is similar to what my family is seeing. We can all log on to the main account but if we try to join using the individual apple accounts (that are part of the Family Sharing) they get a "Purchase" request.
I think I figured out a workaround. On my son's phone, I clicked on the button to buy the subscription. It told me that he had already been invited to join a family plan. So, I cancelled. I then quit the app and restarted it. It then showed a button that asked if he wanted to join the family plan that had already been set up. I clicked on that and now he's good to go.
Was this before or after you entered the password? (This screen, sorry about the norwegian)
It was after I entered the password.
Thanks, we got it to work!
Great. Enjoy!
I'm not having any luck. When I click to buy a subscription it asks my daughter to add a credit card to her account. Did you have to do this?
This workaround only works for family members with payment info in their account. Thus an additional workaround is required: Add payment info on the kids' accounts...
If things still aren't working, just be patient. I recently set up my other two family member's devices and it immediately prompted me to enable iCloud Music in their app because they were already part of a family plan. I'm also now given an option to manage my family from within the music app. Before, it said "Set Up Family," or something like that. So, it seems like the bugs are working themselves out.
How do I add my family to Apple Music?
