You don't have to know everything about Apple ID to enjoy using your iPad. But it helps to know a few things. In this video I explain how Apple ID works, how it's tied to your app store purchases and how it can save you if your iPAd is stolen.

Thank you so much for what you do. So nice to have a steady, nonfrantic voice. Many elderly have hearing problems so you might consider skipping the background music.

Our household shares one Apple ID for App Store purchases and downloads; for the rest, each of us has our own. It seems to work and allows us to share Apps and, presumably, music.

@Recycled1 Жыл бұрын

I know this seems oblivious but especially for seniors, make sure your spouse, loved one or trusted friend know your Apple ID and pin code to unlock your devices. I have a friend who’s not at all tech savvy, his wife handled all the banking, bill paying, paperless bills online, etc. She never bothered to give him the pin codes or Apple ID so when she died suddenly, he couldn’t access any of their information she had on her devices. It was a mess that took months to sort things out.

@RichBowlin Жыл бұрын

You know, I never know what to do about this given the severity of sensitive information and such. But honestly, if one spouse is tech savvy and the other is not, there has to be a way to make sure the problem you describe doesn't happen. It's hard enough dealing with the passing of a loved one, but then to be locked out of everything when you're just trying to gather information and wind up an estate is a real gut-punch. I've been thinking about making a video on this topic. Thanks for your wisdom.

Could you comment in the future about setting up husband & wife Apple ID? I know you said to keep separate but how about sharing messages, emails, etc.? Thanks.

@RichBowlin Жыл бұрын

You can certainly give it a try. Just use one Apple ID for all your devices. If you're going to share email, then there's only a need for one email address. Same with messages. I think the rub comes when you want to do something separate and you find yourself hemmed in by one Apple ID. Let me know how it goes. It may be perfect for the way you and your husband use the iPad. Good luck and thanks so much for watching!

@RichBowlin 8 ай бұрын

I'm not sure how that would work if you're using One Drive by Microsoft. I do know that you can share photo libraries so that what you have on your iPhone will show up on his iPhone. I made a video on how to do this. Check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6eWe7aBzM2rn5c.html&ab_channel=RichBowlin

Yes. You should stay signed in. If you sign out, then a lot of the functions as well as access to iCloud is discontinued. Hope this helps.

Dumb? Absolutely not. Observant? Yes! I only mention that Apple ID can be setup in the Settings app on the iPad. I should have explained that this setup process occurs when you turn on your iPad for the first time. The iPad walks you through the process without you really knowing what's going on. I'll try to do better in my next video. Thanks for watching!

Here’s one for you. My husband and I both have an iPad and both have our own separate Apple ID. My iPad is asking me to update Facebook and Messenger. No problem. I am logged into my Apple account BUT when I go to update, the pop up box is using my husband’s Apple ID email instead of mine?? and is asking for HIS password even though I am logged into MY account?? How does this even happen. I therefore am unable to update at all. Any solutions?

Thank you for your simple and easy to understand tutorials. I have recently bought a new ipad, and l made the mistake of using same Apple id and I cloud . The two are synced. Now l wish to give the old ipad to my grandson, and have no idea how to separate them , as every time l do something on one , it is automatically synced. Would appreciate it very much if you could make a tutorial on how to have two separate I pads with new Apple I D. Thank you very much.

As far as I know, this is not possible. The closest you can come to this is by setting up family sharing. But this only shares app purchases. You can share documents and folders with another person so I guess you could share everything from the old ID to the new ID. Not ideal. Wish I could help more.
