Hi Ronni, I did that and still no good. I then did a "Clear all content and settings" and then restore from backup - same issue after setup.
I am puzzled by my inability to being able to get into the "Manage your Apple ID" page. When logging in I am presented with "Update your Apple ID". A bit of a Catch 22 situation. To get into Update the Apple ID, I need to be able to log in, I am unable to log in as I am presented with "Update your Apple ID" BEFORE I can go any further. This issue with Messages below is only affecting ONE device out of 13 in my family, and at that, it is just affecting the ability to send iMessages - for my 9 yo daughter! Hardly the strongest motivator for me to resolve urgently, but my conviction requires me to sort it! I know if I don't sort it, one day it will bite me when I can least afford it. A parallel question if there are others out there with the same set up - ie all family members with ONE Apple ID across all devices for multiple family members. The introduction of the Family Share feature came AFTER I had numerous family members all with Apple devices/MacBooks and all with the same Apple ID. It has worked successfully for years - easy app sharing, Photos sharing, etc and easy enough to manage security with kids buying/not buying apps without authority. Do others recommend staying with one Apple ID for all family members OR make the change to a Family Share arrangement where each family member has their own Apple ID yet linked within the Crisp Family for the ability to share apps and other features? How does one migrate all these devices to their respecive new user specific Apple ID and what are the up and downsides to this? Does Find my iPhone when migrated to a Family Shared arrangement present all Family devices in the one panel (for the Family) as it does currently for me - or will I have to use Find my Friends for other family members?
