I got my Ipad when I was around 8 and my mom sighted me on to her Apple ID and I’ve had new iPads since then but I’ve always kept my data and stayed on her ID. I got a phone when I was 13, and I created a new apple ID for myself. Now, I’m 16 and me and my mom both want to switch my Apple ID on my iPad to the one on my phone, but I also don’t want to lose all my apps and photos. Is there a way to switch Apple IDs but avoid this?
My 15 yo has had an iPad for years which has been linked to my Apple ID, but we’ve reached the stage where we want to switch it over and link it to his own Apple ID.
We have an added complication that mine is an Apple UK account and his is an Australian one.
I’m assuming there’s no quick and easy way of doing this and we just have to make a note of everything he has linked with mine and then buy it again under his account.
Our list of considerations so far includes: Apps App log ins Photos Safari favourite and Safari logins Audio books
He doesn’t have any music saved on there so that’s not an issue.
Will his photos stay on there when we shift?
And is there anything else obvious we’ve not thought about?
What part of the iPad do you want to add a new Apple ID to? There are several different places to enter an Apple ID.
Messages
Settings > Messages > Receive at:
App Store
Settings > Store > Apple ID:
Alternatively, you can go to the App Store, click on "Top Charts" at the bottom. Scroll to the bottom and you can sign out and enter a new Apple ID.
iCloud
Go to Settings > iCloud > Account:
You don't say which Apple ID you want to change. The iTunes Store, iCloud and Messages all use Apple ID, and they can all be different. But yes, you can change, one, or all, according to your needs. Most of these changes are made in various Settings on the iPad.
