Appreciate your clearer explanation of Required Apple IDs. At least you were not condescending as others have been when I posted questions.
You need not read on; the remainder is venting frustrations about Apple's changed Consumer Education philosophy.
We as an extended family, around the world are a bit angry with Apple's lack of "User Friendliness". After purchasing Apple iPads & Apple Laptops, I & other family rang Apple Tech Support, in order to become as facile with Apples' systems as we were with HP, Dell & other PC products. We (my spouse & I) were encouraged by Apple Sales Tech, into making these "Family Share" iTunes Match & 2 separate iCloud storage purchases for personal & corporate use. We were told, they'd be so easy to use & we could "READILY" Share photos with up to 5 family members. This Apple person ASSURED, we'd be able to share DOCUMENTS & photos, but failed to mention, "family members" were required to sign in for new Apple IDs as you clarified. I guess these are also called, APPLE EMAIL ADDRESS. We are not Apple computer savvy but do thoroughly read the allegedly clear instructions on Apple's website. My family nor I as Administrator, could follow the logic nor the multiple links (one in each sentence) supposed to explain what we needed to do when I sent "Invitations" to their email addresses. We all received unclear 'error messages'; reads as (I'm paraphrasing): '...you are not included in this group--' No mention of where to go next. I've spent days not just hours trying to find what I consider easily followed "Step by Step" instructions working with Apple features & functions. I give up! The iTunes Match I understood from another Sales Tech. I could "Match" download tunes on to the HP Pavilion PC I had to use, while troubleshooting with these Apple Techs. We pretty much chalk-up the time spent troubleshooting as wasted. Both: Apple's "Family Share" & "iTunes Match" are lost causes & money wasted. Both wasted so much time just reading the poorly written Technical & User Publications. Again, if you have read on, thanks for not being rude to someone who is not an Apple savvy; It's not from want of trying. I'm a Nurse who spent 10 years writing "User Manuals" & shooting films in the use & applications of Critical Care Patient Data Management systems. My primary educational goal was always, create instructions & film which clearly explain to ALL customers/users without a marginal computer background. Most importantly, its critical to break down the computer application instruction into "Step by Step" instructions, so the Users' hands-on practice help make them competent & comfortable. Apple hasnt been "User Friendly" since the G5 was released. Again, thanks for your
