Once you go into family tree family search does not come up to open
What do I have to do to join a group? I have posted on the community forum. I have read through them finding one that was identical to my question but I could not find that it was answered. It was stated that I was on a early family tree, what is the difference. I have not been able to find anything else on any forum about once you load family tree and then you cannot bring family search back up. From what was said it sounds like others have had the problem and some haven't. Is it a glitch with program that there are still trying to fix. Is there someone, somewhere I can go and talk to and get complete understanding of what is going on.

You've joined the Group, @PetersonDarylRay1

An early access Tree means that testing has not yet completed that would enable that product to be added to public access.
To answer your question, go to your homepage (click on the Family Tree logo in the top left corner). Select "Family Tree." In the dropdown box select "Tree"

You have found the best place to ask. This is still in experiment stage, so the only documentation and help sources are here in this group. So glad that you found us!
'Early Access' is what we are calling this experimental stage of Family Group Trees. Family Group Trees are added to Family Groups and are intended to be a place where living family members can share information, pictures, stories and other things.
The first line of your question said
What do I have to do to join a group?
You have to either create a Family Group yourself or receive an invitation to a Family Group. They are private groups and are not searchable. If you want to create a group, you must first click the TURN ON EARLY ACCESS button on the Main information page:
If you receive an invitation, the invitation link will turn on the Early Access for you.
I think @Tomie K. Avant gave you the right answer that to switch between your Family Group Trees and the main shared FamilySearch Tree you must click on the name of the tree in the upper left-hand corner and choose which tree you want to view:
If this information doesn't help you resolve your issue, please add more detail. If you can do screenshots, I will message you my email so that you can send them directly to me.

I am unable to go back into Family Search now that I have down loaded to family Tree. I n Family Search I had all my siblings, with a lot of there children, and my children and grandchildren. when I went over to Family Search Tree none of that information came over. When you say go up to the left top side and choose. The only thing that comes up for me is the groups that I have made. I made one group for group to share temple ordinances. Then I created more groups in family tree, now they all say ordinances and group tree. I did not put ordinance on all the groups, how do I get rid of those?
My main desire is to be able to share photos, memories, documents so my family can enjoy also.
I want to get proficient in this area that I can teach to others.

It talks about being able to have the family group private, public, or group. I only have the option to have public or private, can you help[?

Yes, that is a recent change in Memories. It does not refer to the Family Groups themselves, as they are always private.
Memories used to have three options, now the totally private and limited access are merged into the Private zone. Click Private and then click the group name that you want to be able to view the memory. (I you don't click a group, only you will be able to see that memory.) You can click more than one group. Any group that you have clicked, will be able to see that exact memory. You won't need to upload it to each group. We have a specialized group for questions about Memories. Please add further questions about memories in the Memory Viewer Feedback group.

What do you mean? Are you able to do a screenshot to show us? Does it not have the FamilySearch Tree available at the top of the tree drop-down menu? Here is a video showing how to switch between trees.
If you created a Family Group and added living people to that Family Group Tree, the system does not automatically add that same information about living people into your FamilySearch Tree (the Private Persons part). You will have to reenter that same information into the living people profiles in your FamilySearch Tree (also known as Private Persons).
If, however, you added information about living people into your FamilySearch Tree, you can continue to add information there and copy-paste that new information into the living people profiles in your Family Group Tree. So if you want your Family Group Tree living profiles and your Private Persons profiles to be continually updated with the same information, you will need to add that information into your Private Persons and then copy-paste into each of your groups.
We realize this process is still pretty clunky and we are continuing to refine and update the ability to copy information from one living profile to another in a different tree.
The ability to use ordinances in the groups can be turned off when you click Edit Group in the Group and Tree Settings menu of the Group Details page:
When you click off the ability to Allow this group to share ordinances, it will give you a warning that the ordinances currently in the group (if any) will go back to their original owner and you will need to reshare them to the group, if you turn this ability back on.
