I have questions about Family Sharing - I think.
I own an iPad 3rd Gen.
I also own an iPad 1st generation that my son and I share.
All the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID.
I am buying my son an iPad Air for Christmas.
I want to turn on Family Sharing and give my son his own Apple ID.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the apps that I had previous purchased onto his new iPad.
Originally, my intention was to do an iCloud backup of the 1st gen, then restore to the Air.
iCloud restore would restore the applications *AND* their data (ie: saved games or game levels).
But that would put all the purchases back under my Apple ID.
So here is my question.
How can I get the MY purchases from the 1st gen to the Air but under HIS id *AND* save his game levels?
Can i use Family Sharing with the 3rd Gen, and just share all the applications?
I am assuming YES but he will lose all his game levels.
Maybe I do the iCloud restore using my ID, getting all the apps and their data restored,
then we change the iTunes ID to his new ID and let all future purchases be under his ID.
Any ideas ???
thanks in advance,
Shirva
