Q: can I have more than one apple id?

And purchases made on one are not transferrable to another, nor can any two be merged later on. You also cannot transfer or merge content between iCloud accounts created with separate AppleIDs.

Oct 20, 2016 9:50 AMby Lou63m,I have 4 apple devices, 2 iPads, an iPhone and a mac mini. One of the iPads I've given to my 88 year old dad to use, mainly so he can see pictures I want to share. My cloud is full because I'm now on the same ID for all devices and I've been purchasing extra space every month. I would like to take most of the pictures off my own iPhone and iPad. If I give him his own ID will all the shared stuff we currently have disappear from his iPad? Can I change his ID back to my own if I don't like it once we give him his own? Thank you for advice
