Let us know how it goes!This is ****ing HUGE. We have been waiting over 25 years for this. I grew up using my mom's Comcast email for our iTunes account, then later changing that to my Gmail when I started paying for the family's purchases. When family sharing came about I had my own iCloud/Apple ID and this Gmail AppleID and had to juggle both. Finally, I can just have one Apple ID. Hallelujah!
Is it April fools? THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
Yeah the company that would really like for you to neither lose your passwords nor your accounts is more obnoxious than the one FORCING software updates on your system whenever it sees fit.Tired of Apple trying to force 2 factor authentication on everyone.
Apple is now more obnoxious than Microsoft
Doesn’t it work like that already?Does this mean a child can take their purchases with them when they leave home and disconnect from Family Sharing? That would be very useful.
Sigh... of course. $3T company can't (won't?) do global roll outs.
Small indie company, please understand.
Found another issue after I migrated.
When I went to update an installed app it made me enter my secondary account password on my iPhone and iPad (not my Mac). After doing that I needed to enter my primary account password to view my media account. I believe this is because it needs to log in as the account an app was downloaded under which was the secondary one. I’m hoping it remembers the password as and I don’t want to have to delete and reinstall all my apps to get them to update without requiring me to enter a password every time.
I have the same questions! Hopefully it all works well!I tried but received a message that I wasn’t eligible. I think it’s because I have a Season Pass that’s open on Apple TV. I wonder if watchlists from Apple TV transfer and I wonder if old iTunes Match stuff transfers. I would hate to lose old music that I’ve had uploaded from a really old computer disappear. I imagine that’s attached to Apple Music library stuff. Let me know if you have migrated and see this stuff transfers successfully.
I was going to say the exact same thing. Insanity. How can something like this take so long? And after all this time, why bother? Morons.Wow, it only took 21.5 years. Better late than never?
I'm sure that's the case.. Since some bright person at apple thinks geo-blocking the apps to be country-specific actually blocks anyone.. I have 3 or 4 iTunes accounts as a result of this stupid rule. When something is on the app store, it should be global. If certain countries want to exempt themselves from certain apps, I guess fine...I assume this only works between accounts in the same region (country)?
