So I've set up my "main" account. This is the account we've used for years to buy all of our itunes songs / apps etc.

We each all have our own Apple ID within our family for things like imessage etc.

I'm now trying to manage my family. When it asked me to confirm itunes account, I chose the old main family account. It was unclear what it was asking me but I think that is what I wanted to do correct?

My plan is to still have all of our purchases through the main account. But hopefully have more flexibility than we used to have in icloud, ie I will see only my documents, my contacts etc. Am I thinking about this right?

I haven't tried this but I assume they want to confirm the "main" account?
