Sounds like Apple wants you to update your password to a more secure password and add ‘two-factor authentication' if you haven’t already. <https://appleid.apple.com> < https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201303> > 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!

Are you sure your daughter’s email is working on her iPad and that iMessage is activated & her email address is ‘verified’? Have you checked the settings in Messages on daughter’s iPad that iMessage is activated after the iPad was offline (not connected to the Network)?

Turning on Family Sharing automatically adds all family members to each others’ Find My Friends <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8>app, so you can find out where each family member is (or, to be more accurate, where each person’s primary iOS device is). Family Sharing requires Yosemite or iOS 8, so use it only if all your family’s devices are running the latest versions of their respective operating systems. If your family fits that profile, here’s what you’ll get for up to six family members: • All family members’ purchases of media from Apple are charged to the credit card of the person you designate as the family organizer. (Family members who have enough credit in their own Apple ID accounts can use that credit to buy something without using the shared card.) • Kids (who can get special Apple IDs of their own even if they’re under 13) can request media purchases from a parent, who must approve each one individually. (Kids under 13 can have their own Apple IDs <https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201084>. As a parent or legal guardian, the organizer creates the child’s Apple ID You’ll have to select an iCloud username for your child (which will become the child’s Apple ID) and adds the child to the family group. Ask to Buy is turned on by default, and the organizer can also limit the content kids have access to on their devices through Restrictions on an iOS device or parental controls in OS X and iTunes.) • All family members can access each others’ media, although you can hide particular items of your own that you don’t want to share. • A shared family photo album, calendar, and reminder list are created. • Family members can more easily share their locations (with Find My Friends) and locate their devices (with Find My Device).
