I have bought a family subscription to Apple Music.
I already have family set up on my Apple ID - my wife and two children.
The invite came through to my wife's iPhone and it is working. It has not come through to my children's accounts. When they try and access Apple Music it just asks them if they want to sign up to a 3 month trial and doesn't let them go any further.
Any help gratefully received.
They are children's accounts - does that make a difference?
It would only make a difference if you have set restrictions. Could Apple Music have been excluded there on their devices?
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Also check if “Show Apple Music” is activated in Settings﹥Music. To keep library listing of songs, also activate “iCloud Music Library”.

You have to send the invite to their Apple ID, the same Apple ID as used for forming the family group.
Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Go to Settings﹥[your name]﹥Family Sharing. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings﹥iCloud﹥Family.
- Tap Add Family Member.
- Enter your family member's name or email address and follow the onscreen instructions.
- If you’re using iOS 11 or later, choose whether you’d like to send an invitation via Messages or to invite them in person. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
When I purchased the Apple Music it sent invites out. My wife got hers, the kids didn’t.
How do I resend invite.
They only have one Apple ID and it is all set up correctly.
Thanks for your reply.
They are already there in family sharing. It works for other things (like find my iPhone etc) but not Apple Music.
