Multiple Apple IDs

I currently use my dad's old iPhone 4, and he has the iPhone 5. We have completely different Apple IDs, however, my apps sync with his, and somehow this disables him from downloading apps on his account, saying his account is in the wrong country. Why does it do this and how can I solve it?

If you are using and comingling each others content; music; videos; books; apps; games; podcasts, then your iPhones may get confused.


The only sure way to keep this from occurring is to completely separate the iPhones by not sharing content.


Otherwise, he can easily get to the correct store following these steps;


Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.
