Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have one Apple ID for purchases and another for iCloud: Email, Calendar, etc. (Not by choice. Just happened over time with various Mac versions and the fact that they won't let me combine accounts.) Now I would like to start Family Sharing. Which account do I use? And is there anything special I have to do?
Hello, DesignUmbrella.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you want to use Family Sharing, but have a couple questions as you have multiple Apple ID accounts. I would setup Family Sharing using the Apple ID that you use specifically for purchases. This should keep your iCloud account data from being modified.
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes
