Switching Between two Apple ID’s

Asked By zoe knight 0 points N/A Posted on - 11/29/2011

I am sharing the same Apple ID with my wife. Now, I’m thinking of providing an apple ID for her. Ever since iCloud started, my wife and I used to download applications from it. I want to know now, does anyone tried using another Apple ID to replace the old one? Is it okay to switch users and is it necessary to sync it with iTunes to occur the desired changes? If it is, will I able to retain all of the files which is should have stored in her phone. Any suggestions?

Hi Zoe,

You can create another Apple ID for your wife. However, I regret to inform you that there's no way for you to change it. Once you've downloaded a specific apps using your old Apple ID, there's no way to sync it to your new Apple ID. The downloaded apps will retain to your old Apple ID. If you want to download again that specific application using your new Apple ID, just download and install it to your device. Also, you can retain all the Downloaded applications to your old Apple ID as long as you can access it.

Hope these information might help to your question.

Goodluck,

Edwin Malig
