Hi all,

My younger brother got a new iPad Air for Christmas, and part of getting one is that, as I'm sure you all know, you get iLife and iWork for iOS free.

However, he uses separate Apple ID's for iCloud and the iTunes Store and didn't select the option to use two account when setting up the iPad.

Now, he has already downloaded iMove for iOS for free using his iCloud Apple ID instead of his store Apple ID.

I've tried signing out and signing in with the iTunes Store Apple ID, but the price is back at A$5.49, so it looks like the 'free' download has been permanently linked to the other Apple ID (the iCloud one).

Is there any way that anyone knows of to fix this? I'm assuming I can't even contact support and get them to move the 'purchase' to another Apple ID either...

Thanks!
