With regard to Apple IDs...

Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

so for anyone with the same problem, i recently fixed it.

what i did: i went to settings > iTunes & App Store > logged out of my dad's apple ID and logged in on mine.

the only thing i lost was my music but thats because you can only be connected to one iTunes with one apple ID (i think). losing my music was a dissappointment because i did have over 1,000 songs but i can get it back by putting them in the dropbox from dads computer to mine (:
hope this helps anyone.
