    Hi robzdodgers!

     

    If your goal is to separate your daughters' personal data from their purchasing abilities, then you may want to see the information contained in the following article:

     

    Using your Apple ID for Apple services

    Specifically, this section has the most helpful tips:

     

    Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases

    You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:

    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

    1. When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    3. In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.

    Mac:

    1. Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    3. Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.

    PC (Windows 8):

    1. Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    3. Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.

    PC (Windows 7 and Vista):

    1. Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
    3. Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.

    Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.

    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
