I doubt that will change.
I'm confused then. I thought you were saying you couldn't do this, as in your example with your son. If you can have multiple accounts active, what's the problem with having gift cards on his account?

Yes, I thought you could only have one account in use on an iOS device at a time for purchasing. And the same with OS X. Hence the 90 day account switching restriction. I know you can use purchases from multiple accounts, but to be honest, I'm not sure of the details on this as I've only ever needed one account. So I guess I'm not sure what active means either. The only wording I've seen that makes it look like a user could actually be logged into multiple Apple ID / Mobile Me / iCloud accounts is if one is used for mail and syncing, and another is used for purchasing. I haven't seen anything to indicate that users will be able to quickly switch between accounts when purchasing content on a device. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp b2c9d448 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
