Question

Can more then one person (with different Apple ID's) use the same iBookAuthor Program to Publish (house hold computer)?

I want to publish my fathers books using iBooks Author. I'm going to set him up with an Apple ID, but he does not have a computer and I will be publishing it from my personal computer. I have my own Apple ID and wish to publish my own books using the same program on the same computer. Will this be an issue? or will I be able to switch Apple ID's upon pushing it to pusblish?

Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I'd think you can log in using alternate/multiple ibook accounts.... Both paid or free?

Try using both with iTunes Connect on your computer and see how far you get.

If it proves difficult, simply create a logon on your computer for him and work from there.

I have a free books account and later applied for a paid books account.

This required setting up a new Apple ID and not using the same email or passwords.

So they are two totally separate accounts - on my computer.
That part is not a problem for you and your father.

The other aspect is both will need to open an iTunes Connect account for each ID.

I dont see delivery as a problem.

The part I am not sure about in your case is iTunes - as I only have me as usuer on the computer its never been an issue, but there is a Family sharing option available.

The previous post is the best starting point as you will both need separate accounts.
