Because I’d read all kinds of scary stuff about wiping out apps and data, I made sure to first back everything up and confirm that I had all our Apple ID info at hand. The process requires two Apple IDs, and one iOS device running either iOS 6 or iOS 7. But after giving it a shot, I’m here to report that installing apps from multiple accounts on one iPad can be done, and it’s really not difficult. Frankly there were so many naysayers, I didn’t think it would work. There are also a number of threads warning that logging in with a different iTunes account is possible, but it will cause all existing apps from the original account to be deleted from the iPad. ![]() If you read the various discussion boards about sharing iPads, most sources emphatically state you simply can cannot share an iPad. What I assumed would be a simple switching of users accounts, didn’t seem possible at all. Then at some point I realized that I didn’t know how to install my apps onto my husband’s iPad, so I searched the web for instructions on how to do this. So I arranged to borrow my husband’s iPad and began to download the pressure-sensitive drawing and painting apps to my iTunes account on my computer. But when I saw that a new generation of pressure-sensitive stylus pens were shipping for the iPad (and a bunch of painting and drawing apps were making use of the new technology), I thought it might be time to replace my paper sketch pad with a digital sketchpad. Personally, up until now I didn’t think an iPad would add anything to my laptop/iPhone workflow, so I haven’t bothered to do more than just add a few bookmarks and download a few apps to my husband’s iPad. By choice or necessity, nowadays many of us find ourselves sharing an iPad with someone else in the house or in the office. ![]()
