Not all apps are created equal. Indeed, not all applications are available for us in Russia. There are other applications for specific countries as well as applications that are released in small markets. But what if you want to download these programs for yourself?

You can change your country in Appstore, but each time you change, enter new information payment is quite troublesome. Or you can create a second Apple ID ID for another country, and then they only go in and out of the store. Here's how to do it.

Step 1: Sign out of iCloud.
To create a new iTunes account, you first need to log out of your current iTunes / Icewood account. You can do this by opening Settings and clicking iCloud. Scroll to lower part screen where you will see a button labeled "Exit". Click "Logout", your iPhone will warn you that if you log out of your account, all photos of the photo stream, documents and data stored in Icloud will be deleted from your iPhone.

Your iPhone will also prompt you to choose whether to save your iCloud data and contacts to your iPhone, and then asks you to enter your iCloud password to turn off Find My iPhone.

Step 2: Create a new account.
After you have logged out of your iTunes / Icloud account, you can create a new account. Go to Settings> iCloud and click Create new apple ID ".

You will be prompted to enter your date of birth, name and email address (you will have to enter different email addresses for different accounts ITunes / Icloud). You will also be prompted to choose a password, answer three security questions, and enter an additional backup address Email. After you fill in all this, click on the continuation (this may take a while).

Step 3: Check your account.
Check your email for a confirmation message from Apple. Click on the link in the email to verify your email address. Apple will ask you to enter new account Aycloud.

Step 4: Select the country of the new iTunes / Icloud account.
Before you start downloading apps for another country, you will need to select the country of your new account. To do this, open the App Store and click "Featured". Scroll down to the bottom of the page where you will see a button that says Login. Click this button and log in using your new credentials.

You should see a pop-up informing you that you have not used that Apple ID in the iTunes store. Click on the overview and wait a few seconds, a list of countries will appear on the screen. Please select the desired country for the new ID, and then click Next. Apple will ask you to agree to some terms, click "Accept".

Next, Apple will ask you to enter payment information... In order to go further, you must enter billing address and a phone number that matches the country you have chosen, but for now you do not need to add a credit card. Thus, you can use any address: government building, bank, hotel. You won't be able to download a paid app without a credit card, but you can download free apps for this country.

This is done through through App Store... Due to the simplicity of registration and the lack of obligation to provide credit card information. In the future, as a rule, users use this identifier for all other Apple services and services.

This is perfectly acceptable if you have one iPhone. But if you have more than one device in your family or friends and want to share purchased apps, share photos and other benefits shared account... In this case, the simple use of one Apple ID is fraught with consequences. V best case you can lose personal information, at worst, get your iPhone locked.

In general, users are not very well versed in the issue. using Apple ID. You can judge this by going to iCloud general account. Some users sync their phone book, calendar, or connect the device to the "Find My iPhone" service. And not only is your location and contact known to all other participants, but your phone can also be accidentally / deliberately blocked.

It's important to know that: Apple IDs are not automatically registered for all Apple services. You can create multiple Apple IDs and register each with the service you want.

You can create additional IDs directly on the Apple website - https://appleid.apple.com.

On one gadget, you can use several Apple IDs at once, each of which will interact with strictly certain services that can be specified manually.

True, there are rules and restrictions here.

Some Apple services can be used on one gadget only once at a time. For example, an iPhone can only back up to iCloud from one Apple ID. Unfortunately, you cannot split a backup across multiple iCloud accounts. If your data does not fit into the allotted 5 GB, then either buy additional for money, or in iTunes.

At the same time, mail settings allow you to use several mailboxes iCloud.

Here is the compatibility chart various services Cupertinos with one or more Apple IDs.

If you have multiple devices, then the best solution will create one common content to buy.

For backups, it would be better to use separate apple IDs that will allow you to store the data of your gadgets in iCloud. A few more Apple ID accounts come in handy for various other purposes.

So, how best to split Apple ID accounts:

Activate a shared account for purchases on all gadgets

This account must be activated on all iPhones and iPads, which will allow you to access all purchased applications from any family gadget. In addition, do not forget about services such as iTunes Match, which all your household members may also want to access, so do not forget to activate it in advance.

I would like to remind you that it is possible to use as many devices as you like with one Apple ID.

"Settings" - "iTunes & App Store" - "Apple ID"

Create a separate backup account

After creating a single Apple ID for applications, be sure to create an Apple ID for backup on each of your i-gadgets. This will allow you to store all your data in the cloud, and if something happens to any of the gadgets, you can restore all data in just a couple of clicks.

V iOS settings be sure to specify the synchronization of bookmarks and other personal data with the Apple ID of this gadget. The "Find My iPhone" service is automatically linked to iCloud. If you have tied several devices to the cloud at once, then you have the ability to track their location.

"Settings" - "iCloud" - "Account"

"Settings" - "iCloud" Turn on the switch "Find iPhone".

By the way, Dear users, check that your iCloud account did not match the shared account ID. Or at least turn off Find My Phone. Otherwise, your device can be monitored through the application of the same name and on the iCloud.com website.

And the most annoying thing is that your iPhone can be locked or erase all contents.

Who are all these people? :)

Create a separate account to spy on family gadgets

Of course, do not forget about safety, because the i-gadget can be simply forgotten in a cafe or simply lost. This is exactly what was created for Find service My iPhone, which is tied to iCloud and we wrote about this above.

But in order not to share personal data from the cloud, but to know the location of your household, it is better to use the Find Friends service, which was developed by Apple specifically for these purposes. With it, you can easily share your location.

Let's consider the situation with Apple ID accounts using an example.

For example, there is a family that consists of mom, dad and son / daughter. And they all have apple technique. All devices have a common App account Store from which programs and games are installed. At the same time, the son / daughter does not really want to share photos of the next party, so pictures, documents and notebook syncs to iCloud under a different ID.

In addition, the same iCloud account has Find function My iPhone, so that, if necessary, you could find the owner of the phone and send him a message. And for the exchange of location between interested people, the "Find Friends" program is connected.

well and individual programs: FaceTime, GameCenter, Messaging, HomeSharing, App Store can generally be configured to any other ID each. This can also include an additional App Store account, for example, a purchased general account (the name for the App Store can only be used to install programs / games).

Can be specified in the App Store any another account and install programs from it that you do not have on your iPhone.

The device can simultaneously contain applications installed under different IDs from Apps App Store. They get along well with each other, until the moment they are synchronized with iTunes.

iTunes does not allow such liberties. The program will ask you to select the main ID for synchronization, and the applications installed from other IDs will mercilessly erase.

My transition to Photos.app would not have been possible without convenient use service on phones. In a note, I said that I had to set up one account on two phones iCloud recording.

I'll tell you what difficulties I encountered, the advantages and disadvantages of this approach. By "two phones" I mean my own and my wife's.

One iCloud account for two: why do you need it?

In iCloud Photo Library, there is no way to work with two accounts with one library. There are shared albums, but for 15,000+ photos and videos, it's not very convenient. The way out of the situation is quite simple and old, when there was no Family Sharing yet, similar problems were solved by using one iCloud account on two phones in the family.

It is convenient for me when all photos are "merged" into one stream or a single storage. I take pictures on iPhone and the photos are already available on all my devices, incl. on the spouse's phone. All this is also true for the wife - everything that she photographs is immediately available on all devices.

It's comfortable:

1. The entire media library is accessible from any device. You can access your photos or videos in seconds.
2. Organize your media library from any device. Creating albums, slideshows, editing photos - all this can be done from any device, and the changes will be visible to others.

Be careful. If you have an affair on the side or share intimate photos with the boss, then one iCloud account on two devices will play against you.

be ready

Before you start, it's worth weighing the pros and cons of using one account on two phones. There are a number of Apple services that will be difficult or impossible to use.

1. iCloud Drive.
2. Keychain Keychain.
3. Safari bookmarks.
4. Find iPhone or share location with each other.

All four services use the settings of the main iCloud account, and Contacts, Notes, ICloud Mail"Or" Calendar "can be connected through additional accounts.

How to prevent problems

Save data from all phones, do backups photo libraries, copies of contacts, calendars and other important data.

Create three iCloud accounts:

1. Basic or general. Will be configured on two phones.
   Under this account, I make purchases in the App Store, organized family sharing, bought a place in iCloud storage for 1TB.
2. Your personal iCloud account.
3. ICloud account for wife.

Your account and your wife's account will be needed to personalize the phones. Contacts, Messages, Calendars, Reminders, Facetime - will work independently.

The problems I faced

Facetime and call history merged from two phones. Under my account, I activated a 1TB subscription, on my wife's phone I set up my account as the main one. After a while, the entire history of calls on both phones merged. Call history syncs when Facetime is turned on. By default (most likely) the main account (or from Facetime settings+ main account). Maybe it's just an iCloud bug, but I had to create a separate account for Facetime and iMessage. Among other things, a phone number acts as an excellent account for these services.

Outdated iCloud notes on wife's account. When disabling her account from the main settings, I made sure that everything was synchronized and available on the web version of iCloud.com. When I connected "Notes" as additional account, notes from a year ago were loaded into the phone. Attempts to upload up-to-date notes (I saw them on the web) were unsuccessful. I had to manually transfer all 60 notes. How I store my notes I wrote in the article.

I had to give up "share my location". There is only one account and offers to share from it, choosing from which phone to do it. We got used to this service for several years, but you can live without it, a matter of priorities.

As a conclusion

Get ready to leave. At any stage of the transition to using a shared account, you must have a return plan "as it was".

Help your soul mate understand in advance how everything will work. Defend your interests and the interests of your family.

No one owes nothing to nobody. Sharing photos should be done by mutual consent and with extreme caution.

Back up Photos.app library on Mac. , on external drive a library is stored that is backed up to Google Drive.

This can happen if you've enabled sync on one device and turned it off on your second device, or turned sync on and off multiple times in a row. When you turn sync off on one or all of your devices and then turn it back on, chances are high that you will get duplicates.

You can read more about how to remove duplicates here. Tap Settings on the Home screen to view the Settings screen, then tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Nick Peers writes technology-related articles since he holds a Master's degree in Information Technology from the University of East London.

This protects the copyright holder from abuse of their media. However, there are many cases where people want to access funds mass media other people for completely innocent reasons, such as family members who want to share music with each other. You can only allow five computers, but if you hit that limit, you can always "deauthorize" computers.

Personalizing data with Apple ID

Emails have become the main mode of communication and each of us has more than one email address. Having multiple email addresses also makes it easy to sort professional and private messages... Step # Open the Settings app from the home screen → Scroll down and tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars".

Outdated iCloud notes on wife's account. When disabling her account from the main settings, I made sure that everything was synchronized and available on the web version of iCloud.com.

This is why only some of the messages that are sent to one device are also displayed on the other device. Step 1: Click the Settings icon. Scroll down and select Messages. Operating system for smartphones and tablets. Click to complete your order. To the confirmation link you just mailed.

I had to give up "share my location". There is only one account and offers to share from it, choosing from which phone to do it. We got used to this service for several years, but you can live without it, a matter of priorities.

But the performance is a little erratic. Ultimately, you are spoiled for choice. You want to merge your accounts. You are signed in to the wrong account. You have a new phone and you have a new account. Accounts cannot be combined, but there are some things you can do.

Keep your accounts and make sure each of your accounts is associated with a current email address. Select the account you want to keep and another account you don't want. Deactivating one of your accounts does not automatically provide an associated email address for the other account. You must change your email address in settings before deactivating your account. If you do not have access to the first account, you must save your new account and contacts from the old account to your new account.

An Apple ID is an identifier, a kind of account, that is given to users so they can access various Apple services such as the App Store or iCloud.

If you have several Apple devices (for example, iPad and iPhone), then you can use one Apple id for two devices. You can organize the use of the same Apple ID on any multiple Apple devices - for example, iPad and iPhone.

A maximum of 10 computers or 5 iOS devices can be bound to one identifier. In addition, you cannot switch between different Apple IDs more than once every 90 days. This limitation was introduced several years ago, which caused the discontent of many users. Previously, users were able to associate up to 5 computers and an unlimited number of iOS devices with one account, but now this number is only 10. This includes not only personal computers, tablets and smartphones, but also devices such as Apple TV set-top boxes.

The innovation was caused, as some Internet publishers believe, the appearance on the network third party services which for small fee give users access to their Apple ID.

There was already bought music and other files of interest, which were downloaded by clients. Thanks to new system account bindings, such schemes ceased to operate, because there was a restriction on maximum amount devices. The users themselves were not happy with the innovation, which they themselves adopted along with the next 50-page agreement with iTunes.
