Family sharing - cryptic guests

So I implemented a family sharing. Can I download music to my wife - that works very well, but when she tries to download music purchased from my account she gets this unintelligible prompt. A google search revealed situations very complicated - my situation is very simple. 2 people. 2 Apple ID. 1 family shares.

To expand the guest on his phone, I go to the iTunes Store > downloads > my account > find the music I want > click the cloud/download...

Guest:

"This device is already associated with an Apple ID."

"You can download past purchases on this device with a single Apple ID every 90 days."

The marketing pages make believe that 2 people can share music and each other, but this cryptic message sounds like there is a "sharer" account, then on accounts "Bruno" who may not share and must wait 90 days to become the account that sharing their music. I am very confused. Also to add to the confusion, the options are "Cancel" and "transfer" - transfer what? ". I just want to download an album and I am currently in my family shared in itunes store page... What happens when I transfer? The songs on my phone that I downloaded from its purchases are removed, and I have to wait 90 days before I transfer back?

correction, this is the line of the error:

"If you can also download past purchases with your Apple ID, you don't auto download or download purchases with another Apple ID for 90 days.

It makes no sense to me

    Mvangordon,

    She will be able to keep all purchases on his account.  See this document:

    Note that "all eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books and applications already bought by members of the family are immediately available for everyone in the family."

    In the future if she leaves the group sharing of the family, she is no longer able to share purchases, but she will always keep its own.

  • Family sharing woes

    I like the idea of family sharing, but is it possible that my 17 year old son can participate in sharing family so he can take advantage of our subscription iTunes but allow him to make purchases with his iTunes account? I have the family facility and everybody sharing

    Hello blmclaws,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see you want to add your son to share your family enjoy the iTunes subscription, but make purchases with their iTunes account. How the family sharing is set up, all purchases are made with the credit card provided by the Organizer. The exception is that if a member has a credit on his iTunes, usually by a gift card account, then purchases will come from this credit until the credit card of the Organizer is responsible. Thus, in the case of your son, he could buy gift cards and add them to their account before shopping. In this way, the Organizer will not be charged.

    Yes, there is no reason why you can't invite you to join the family sharing if you have a second ID, people often make this option to retain access to iTunes content purchased through several accounts.

  • Trying to give my daughter my old iPad. Set up a family sharing. Cannot delete photos

    This turns into a real pita.  I created a family sharing for the old iPad, which is very low on space, I'm empty I can't seem to get rid of the pictures, it is probably better just to get rid of the entire library, but everything appears.  Can't delete the photos that would take years to do anyway if it worked the same.  Disable all options photo to iCloud and turn their back on did nothing

    Hello evechoccy!

    Thanks for reaching out on the share of the family option does not arise with the iPhone of your son 4.

    The reason for this is the iPhone 4 can only go to iOS 7 and sharing of the family did not become an option until iOS 8 and later versions. You can see the family sharing requirements here: family shares - Apple Support

    Kind regards.
