Issues Setting Up Family Sharing with an Old iPod Touch

Asked By SunnyBreeze123 On

I'm trying to get Family Sharing set up because I want to share my Apple TV subscription with my sister. However, I discovered that I need an actual Apple device to do this. So, I revived my old 6th-generation iPod Touch for the task. I know it's a bit outdated, but it's all I've got. I tried inviting her through iMessage, but it won't send. When I try the 'Invite in Person' option, I keep getting an error saying verification failed. Is there any way to resolve this? Or is there an alternative method to set it up without needing to buy a newer Apple device?

Unfortunately, it sounds like your iPod Touch may not be fully compatible with the Family Sharing feature. Apple generally requires a supported device to manage Family Sharing effectively. It seems like the iPod Touch is just a bit too old for this task. If you want to get around this, you would need to consider borrowing a newer device from someone or looking into buying something used if possible.

You mentioned that your iPod is running iOS 12, which should typically work for Family Sharing. The verification error you're receiving could be a temporary glitch. Try restarting your device and then re-attempting the setup. If that still doesn't work, you might look into customer support options for help instead of giving up and cancelling your subscription!
