Adding devices

Only one of my two apple IDs with passwords is connected to one device - my mac.

How do I add the 2nd ID to my mac if possible.


Since I have 2 apple IDs, how can I add my iPad and iPhone as devices?

When adding the 2nd Apple ID to your Mac, unless you need to use both IDs in the same user account, create a new user account and add the second Apple ID to the new user account. To use both IDs in the same user account, you can sign into different places, such as the App Store/iTunes with one ID and iCloud with the other ID. Using 2 IDs in one account can make things more difficult.

If you want your iPad and iPhone to sync with your computer, use the same Apple ID on the devices that you used for the computer.


As mentioned above, you can try setting up Family Sharing between the 2 IDs.
