Apple Working on Allowing the Merging of Multiple Apple IDs

2011-09-16 Thread Ashley Aitken

I haven't received a phone call from Tim just yet, but perhaps I was out when 
he rang ;-)

<http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/16/apple-working-on-allowing-the-merging-of-multiple-apple-ids/>

Of course, it's just a rumour but that's better than nothing.

I'm pretty sure it won't allow merging accounts internationally though ...

Probably not, but being able to merge some accounts will be nice.

I have the problem where I have an iPad that my eldest uses, and I want him to 
be able to have iTunes gift cards I his own account and be ale to buy apps, but 
I don't want to give him my apple id, especially since I use it for all sorts 
of stuff at Apple.

I'm waiting to see what Apple does about this. There's got to be a lot of 
people with multiple users and multiple iOS devices in the same basic boat. The 
one thing I know I am not doing is setting up ids for everyone.

I doubt Apple will allow having multiple IDs being active on the same
device at once. It sounds to me like the "merging" would be achieved
by choosing one account to use going forward and transfering existing
data and purchases to that account.

> The one thing I know I am not doing is setting up ids for everyone.

I'm not convinced that you'll be able to avoid this.

Apple's stance seems to be that either you use one account to manage
your household, or you allow each user to have an independent account.
It'd certainly be nice to have "family accounts", with one parent
account and several other child accounts which can have some
independent data, but shared purchase access. This just seems like
it'd be too liberal for Apple's licenses. Plus they'd have to handle
spliting a child account off into a fully independent one, possibly
merging independent accounts into a family account, etc.

One account per household or device is far simpler, at the expense of
some user customization.
But, that's how Apple rolls.

But they already do allow this behavior at least on desktops and laptops, and 
I’ve seen at least one person post here that this also works to some degree on

Mmm, I could be wrong. It just doesn't seem like the kind of thing
they'd do with iOS. Those devices seem like they're set up for use by
an individual, while OS X devices are useable by multiple people and
include support for that use.

Enh, we'll see soon enough. Multiple active IDs certainly would make a
lot of people happy.

Maybe we need to define what is meant by “active” IDs. I know that in iTunes, I 
have at least 4 ids authorized concurrently, but most of my purchases have been 
under only one of them.

I'm confused then. I thought you were saying you couldn't do this, as
in your example with your son. If you can have multiple accounts
active, what's the problem with having gift cards on his account?

Yes, I thought you could only have one account in use on an iOS device
at a time for purchasing. And the same with OS X. Hence the 90 day
account switching restriction. I know you can use purchases from
multiple accounts, but to be honest, I'm not sure of the details on
this as I've only ever needed one account.

So I guess I'm not sure what active means either.

The only wording I've seen that makes it look like a user could
actually be logged into multiple Apple ID / Mobile Me / iCloud
accounts is if one is used for mail and syncing, and another is used
for purchasing. I haven't seen anything to indicate that users will be
able to quickly switch between accounts when purchasing content on a
device.

Because I don’t want to have to re-buy purchases for the other devices and I 
don’t want to have to manage 5 different accounts and sort out which account 
has what.

What I want is to have the main account and then have subordinate accounts so 
that I can give limited access to those accounts (for example, can only 
purchase off a gift card) but have those purchases all be grouped under the 
main account.

For example

  Account1
|- Account1.1
|- Account1.2
|- Account1.3
|- Accoumt1.4

Account1 has a credit card attached to it and can make any purchases. All those 
purchases can be used by account1 and by 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4.

1.1 (say the wife) also has access to the credit card and can make any 
purchases, “owned” by account1 and usable by 1.2 1.3, and 1.4.

1.2 (say elder son) can only access a gift card balance that is attached only 
to 1.2 (Account1.1, 1.3, and 1.4 cannot access that balance). Purchases are 
still "owned” but Account1 and can be used by the other accounts. Account1, 
obviously, *can* access the gift card balance, but it defaults to using the 
attached credit card.

1.3 & 1.4 (say younger kids) have no access to make purchases at all.

The most import an thing, however, is that ALL the accounts (1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 
1.4) can download and install updates to any installed apps, using their own 
passwords.

As it is right now, I have “Account1” and everything else I have to manually 
manage. I have to do the updates, track the gift cards, make the purchases, 
etc. This gets to be a huge issue when you have 8 iOS devices in the house (3 
iPads, 3 iPhones, 2 iPod Touches), some with older versions of the OS, and the 
number of iOS devices is growing. The management gets to be a big headache very 
quickly.

Also, currently, if someone brings me an iOS device because they need to 
install an update, I have to enter my password. Now my password is cached for a 
certain amount of time, and there is not easy way to tell when that cache 
expires.

Gotcha, that's what I thought. It'd be a great feature. Unfortunately,
I don't see it happening. Apple doesn't even have something similar

Ironically they once did.  It was called eWorld, and it had this exact account

This sounds good.

It seems you can use multiple Apple IDs for purchasing (so family members can 
each have a separate Apple ID(s) and balance(s)) and yet all share the same 
Apple ID for iCloud.   If anyone purchases anything use any Apple ID then it 
can be shared with all via iCloud.

Is that what others are understanding / seeing with the move to iCloud?  I'm 
just updating now ...

Of course, all this is probably limited by small numbers like 5 and 10.  It 
reminds me of services which lock the user out after three incorrect password 
attempts or even the iOS which does that silly increasing time-delay thing.  

Seriously, I think 30 second delay would be plenty to stop brute force 
attempts.  But I digress ..

Ashley.

Trouble is, contacts, reminders, calendars, notes, photostream, etc are all 
synced via iCloud.

I setup all the iOS devices with one iTunes store account and gave everyone 
their own iCloud account for now. We'll have to see how that works.

That makes much more sense to me than Ashley's approach…now if they would only 
allow iTunes IDs to be combined life would be good. My wife and I both have 
Apple IDs (family pack, mine was the master and hers was a sub-account). I've 
converted mine to iCloud and hers will get converted later. We have both bought 
apps on our IDs; I would love to combine both of those into a third ID so that 
we could have a shared ID for purchases and separate IDs for 
mail/contacts/calendar. I have to believe that there isn't any real technical 
reason this couldn't be done which means that either there was a marketing 
decision against it or they just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.

Would also be nice if the iWork document formats were aligned so that the same 
document would open on both iPad and Mac…that would allow easy sync of 
documents back and forth without having to do the download/upload sequence to 
edit on the Mac. Of course . . .that would also keep from having a local copy 
if it was only stored on iCloud I guess…a better solution would be to allow iOS 
apps direct read/write to/from DropBox since it already has the inter-computer 
sync built in.

I have to think that they know it’s a problem, I am less sure if they think it 
is a problem they need to solve or not. I can easily see Apple *not* allowing 
any sort of iCloud merging.

As it is, right now, I have 25GB of iCloud (I got a temp upgrade of +20GB when 
I moved from Mobile Me) and then my wife and the two kids each have 5GB of 
storage, which is more than enough for their backups and their documents (Even 
my eldest who is backing up an iPad and an iPhone has plenty of room).

the +20GB upgrade is $3.33 a month, so it seems like a no brainer I’m going to 
keep that, except I’m not sure how I would ever use that space. Putting things 
ON iCloud right now is a little odd. The only way to upload iWork documents is 
to go to iCloud.com, login, and then upload the files one at a time, and then I 
am only uploading text or Pages documents

I don’t have 25GB of pages files. I will never have 25GB of pages files. My 
Photostream doesn’t count against storage, but I don’t see anyway to put other 
photos on iCloud, so what is that extra space for?

The disconnect between iCloud and the Mac is rather peculiar.

The easiest way to do this is to have a single account that buys everything

For stuff you have now, you have to decide, rebuy, authorize from for your

your Family account hierarchy is interesting, and a good idea. but I doubt it

Right now third party developers aren’t supporting iCloud. yet. it’s new, and 
they’re just ramping up on the development side. More Apps will need it than

Well, I do wish I had kept my purchase account separate from my Developer 
account.

Right now the kids had all of ’my’ apps and have their own AppleIDs, so I could 
put balances on their accounts and let them sign-out of the App Store and sign 
in and buy their own stuff, but there are so many issues with that too.

New apps won’t get pushed to their devices, I will have to login on their 
devices to update, and they can’t share apps between them.

So we muddle align with “Dad, will you buy the new Fruit Ninja Puss N Boots

It does. Except when it doesn’t.

I have two 1Password files on Dropbox now after 1Password on my primary machine 
decided to put the password file back in its default location under~/Library.

In the process I seem to have lost a password or two.

I’m holding on tooth files until I have the time to figure out if it is 
possible to reconcile the two files easily.

I *THINK* that 

rsync -aP 1Password-342367247.agilekeychain 1Password.agilekeychain

will do it, but I have to look into it.
