When going into iCloud preferences, I am unable to Manage Family and create a family collection for sharing. I am told that I myself have already created an account and will have to ask myself to add me. ? Yes.
You don't need to add yourself. You add your family members and you will automatically become the "organizer". As the organizer, it is your credit card that will be used to make purchases from all family members. You can designate another adult as the "Parent/Guardian" who will have the power to approve purchases from underage family members.
Thanks Bear, this is the problem, it is telling me that I have already initiated this process from somewhere else. I have not. I am unable to become the organiser. In essence it is telling me "I have prevented myself from doing this!" First time configuration, I simply cannot start the process.
Hmmm, if the computer is already telling you that a family sharing account was already created....as soon as you sign into iCloud from any device using that Apple ID, it should show you as the organizer. You shouldn't have to setup family sharing again. Once it is setup from any device, it's done and should reflect across all systems using your Apple ID. Are you signed into all accounts with the same Apple ID, and not using an alias? (not sure if using an alias would make any difference).
Only one account. No aliases. I've never set it up from anywhere, that's kinda the problem.
I can't use Manage Family to add family members.
