Question

Need permanent solutions to access info across my 2 Apple ID's.

I have 2 Apple ID's and cannot get rid of either. I currently own an iPhone 11 (****1@icloud.com) and a MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020); I have both ID's available as users. (****1@icloud.com & ****"@icloud.com.)

I continue to run into issues when trying to access items. My cell has my Apple ID the does not own my Apple One subscription or my Apple CC. I have to log out of my Apple ID associated with the phone and log in with my other ID to gain access.

When I do change Apple Id's on my cell phoneI lose the access to my subscriptions, playlists in me Apple Music, "share my location or Find My" settings resulting in asking my family to re-share. I also have to backup/merge just to log out and in. for it Can't get rid of either due to the Apple CC rules and was advises Apple cannot combine them. There has to be an easier process. Please help

In order to share music between two Apple IDs, you would need the Family Sharing version of Apple Music.

Get an Apple Music family subscription - Apple Support

You shouldn't be logging out of whichever Apple ID you have on your phone. If Family Sharing is set up correctly, you access any sharable content from the other Apple ID, no logging out required.

You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases and family subscriptions made with the IDs.

Then consider an Apple One subscription that can be shared.

Apple One - Get. *

Hi /Eric,

Thank you for responding. I have already set up the family sharing between accounts. That does not solve the issue of having to log off one Apple ID on my cell then logging into the other Apple ID. It also does not resolve the issue of sharing playlists, etc. I just sent one of my playlists and when I went to confirm & download I got the following: "You must transfer thus device to your Apple ID to play content saved off line. You will be unable to transfer the device for 90 ays."

I look forward to your response.
