MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17617 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	Can one person have 2 Apple IDs? We need to establish one for my granddaughter's iPad Mini so that her free game downloads do not clog up my daughter's iPhone. My granddaughter is too young for her own Apple ID. _________________________

You need to change the AppleID on the device before doing any updates, I recommend against it. Why are you worried about her own ID? Just don't give her the password, she'll need that to download anything. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

They also have separate Apple logins. I told them they can back up and buy stuff on their own user accounts with their own Apple passwords and everything remains separate. Am I right? Have I steered them properly and correctly? . _________________________

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17617 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	She (my granddaughter) downloads free games from the App Store. Since her iPad is set up with my daughter's Apple ID, those games also attempt to download to my daughter's iPhone. She knows to ask if she wants anything that costs $. Their computer is an aging eMac and has become rather unreliable, so they pretty much depend on the iPhone, and now the iPad. My daughter has 2 email accounts, one that I set up years ago, and one she has through her ISP. Can she set up another Apple ID on the iPad using the other email addy? _________________________

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 13593 Loc: Columbus OH	Originally Posted By: MacBozo She (my granddaughter) downloads free games from the App Store. They will still ask for a password to install even if they are free. Quote: Can she set up another Apple ID on the iPad using the other email addy? Yes. All it takes for a different Apple ID is a different email address. She'll want to delete anything installed with the other addy and reinstall under the new one. She will lose any scores/data from the games BTW. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Go to Settings, then iTunes & App Store. Look at Automatic Downloads and deselect everything. Your daughter needs to do it on her iPhone. And like Jim said, I would just keep it one ID. It will ask for password every time, free game or not.
