Q: Family sharing music not showing up

I just purchased music from iTunes. It is not showing up on other device set up for family sharing. Family sharing is set up on both and all the other previously purchased music is on there. How do I fix it?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1, Other phone is iPhone 5c

    Greetings Trulie01,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    From your question, I understand that you purchased some music from iTunes on one device, but it is not showing up on the other device. You do say that all other previously purchased music is on the second device, but it is not clear to me if you are looking at the purchase page or if you have downloaded that music onto the second device from the purchase page.  

     

    The first article I am attaching below explains the normal process for downloading purchased content from a family member in your sharing group.

     

    Share purchased content with Family Sharing - Apple Support

     

    If you are already familiar with this process, but the music isn’t even showing on the purchased page, I would suggest reading over and working through the steps provided in the next attached article.

    Cheers
