Been having trouble with Family Sharing today, and it turns out it's a complete mess!

We have an Apple ID used for purchases on iTunes. This is setup as "share purchases from this account".

When signed in on an iPhone, users can see apps purchased from the shared account. On the Music app, no shared purchases are shown.

When signed into a Mac, both iTunes and the Mac App Store say "This Apple ID is not setup for family sharing".

Apple support are clueless, and have no idea why it's not working.
