Can different apple IDs home share and share i tunes/app purchases?

Can different apple IDs in a household home share on the devices and share i tunes/app purchases?

Thanks for the reverse thinking Winston, but the thing is my original apple ID is really old, and correspond to an email service provider I no longer trust in terms of stability, availability of the service or which ever other expression you might want to link to reliability.
This is why when I created my iCloud profile and started using multiple OS and OSX devices I decided to have a different ID. One that will help me take advantage of the Cloud benefits, Apple TV, email sync, iTunes Match and everything else.
Apple support told me there will be no problem setting my iCloud ID as my primary; only that the original would remain associated to the store and the credit card.
(BTW; Let’s just remember apple IDs cannot be merged)
The problem now, however, is that somehow everything has gotten mixed between devices. Until the moment I am writing here and at the same time, I am carrying some instructions from another forum:
- In all of your devices:
Sign out from iCloud
Sign out from iTunes
Sign in to iCloud with your preferred apple ID
Sign in to iTunes with your original (credit card related) apple ID
All of your movies, photos, music and so on, should look the same in all devices.
I hope this helps someone.
Cheers!!!

    How can i use 2 different apple ids for imessage and facetime on 1 ipad?

    Do you mean can you use one Apple ID for FaceTime and one for iMessage? You should be able to. Or, do you mean, can you log into iMessage (or FaceTime) with two Apple IDs at once? No.

  • Different Apple IDs for iTunes and iCloud

    As a legacy from MobileMe,  I have one Apple ID for iTunes (around 10 years old) that has all of my purchases, and another for iCloud (created later as a requirement of MobileMe) that has all the email, syncing, etc.  Apparently now I can't use Family Sharing because I am signed into iTunes and iCloud with different Apple IDs.
    This has caused other issues as well for years, and I would like to once and for all have one Apple ID for both iTunes and iCloud.  What will happen if I start signing into iCloud with my original iTunes Apple ID?  I'm assuming I will lose the following:
    -- Any email in the cloud
    -- All calendar info
    -- All notes
    Am I correct?
    Anything else I would lose?
    Any way to avoid losing all this?
    Is there a better way to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

  • Can I have auto-renewable subscription and non-consumable In App Purchase in one app?

    Hi Everyone,
    My app is just live on the app store.  I used DPS Professional edition and I am able to create a Multifolio with itunes subscription app.  I set my subscription to 1 month and 1 year.  Now I want to publish some other issues for the nesstand to be free. 
    Will it be approved by apple if I add Non-Consumable In App Purchase and set the price to be free.
    I actually want my users to download free content, for old issues and purchase the lateest ones.
    What approach can I use for this?

    In-app purchase is only for retail issue.
    You can publish free folios from DPS dashboard, that will appear automatically in Live app.

  • Why do I have to enter 2 different passwords  to 2 different apple IDs when I have to update an app

    Whenever I click on the update button I have to enter my current Apple ID password then it starts updating. But then it asks for the password to  my old Apple ID. So I enter that password then it just stops updating and I have to do the same thing over again. It. Just goes in a big loop and I can't update any of my apps. It's driving me crazy. Please help.

    Because some of the applications you're updating are associated with the old Apple ID. This can't be changed without deleting them and then downloading them from the new one, which may require repurchasing paid applications.

  • IPad Simultaneously use different Apple IDs?

    When I set up my iPad I was given the option to use different Apple IDs for iTunes and the App Store. I opted to use the same ID. Now I have used the iPad for a bit, I'd like to see if it could replace my iPod. I've Googled around and I can see how to change Apple IDs on the iPad, but not set up two different IDs for use with the App Store and iTunes. Please can anyone enlighten me?

    You can use one ID for iTunes/App Store and a different one for iMessage/Facetime. However, you can't use a different ID for the iTuens Store and the App Store as, bascially, they are the same store.

  • Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

    No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

  • I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

    I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

    If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't.  I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's.  The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848.  It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs.  20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

    Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

    Depends on what the source of the music is (iTunes purchases, ripped CDs, etc.), and whether you are syncing to iTunes on a computer. As for simply sharing music directly from the iPhone to the iPod, no, you cannot.

  • HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated.  There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

  • HT5661 Can I have 4 devices in my family share an iTunes account but have different apple IDs to have seperate I climb backups?

    Can I have 4 idevices in my family share an iTunes account but have separate apple IDs for iCloud and FaceTime ?

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • How can I share purchased apps between different apple IDs?

    Hi,
    I bought a Mac recently and created a new Apple ID.
    The Home Sharing for my Mac is 'on'. I want to copy my purchased apps from my Home Sharing account to my Mac. However, I'm struggling to do that.
    Can anyone help me out please?
    Thanks

    A purchased app is associated with an Apple ID. A user with a different Apple ID cannot use the app unless they also use the same Apple ID.
    I cannot use my wife's apps nor she mine because each were purchased with different Apple IDs.

    All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
    the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.
