Surely our elected officials will deliver. Fun times. I fought a version of this battle when Apple merged developer accounts into the general Apple ID - my developer account used the same email as my apple ID, but for some reason they created a new apple ID during the merge, so I had two different apple ids attached to the same email address I -- and I know how unlikely this sounds, so maybe this is how it happened I have an apple account with two different passwords.
That work simultaneously, but on different services. The only way I figured this out is I evolve passwords with a numbering scheme; I kept forgetting the password, resetting, and incrementing a counter. I slowly realized I wasn't forgetting; it's that I had multiple passwords live.
I tested this as recently as 2 months ago. The internal architecture that makes this possible I assume it's why the phrase "swallows sadness" was invented.
This is actually possible for Gmail as well, although they have a UI for it. I discovered this when I tried to log in to an old business account on a custom domain say, admin example. My conclusion at the time was that someone had associated a paid individual Gmail account with admin example. I have no idea how they decide which account or both receives an incoming message as I only had the password for one of the two admin example.
But it may be possible that you or someone else created a Google account for admin example. But to answer your implied question - there are two accounts, but only one mailbox.
If you chose to log in to the Google account, you would not have access to gmail. Source: work on workspace google. Obviously only my own opinion. After fighting this situation for about a year I leaned on Apple support and they were able to merge the accounts unclear if they were generally willing to do that, or I just got lucky and assigned a friendly CS agent.
No one believed me when I said this happened, and further password resets tidied it up and I decided I was just wrong. On a similar note, my daughter and I share an iTunes account so she can have access to apps and music I purchased.
She has her own Apple ID for iCloud. One day, I receive a password reset notification for my personal Apple ID. I freak out, as I now have lost access to my Apple ID and imagine any moment now the attacker will wipe my devices.
Turns out my daughter was unable to download an app, so she went through successfully the password reset flow for my Apple ID! Your daughter has and uses your Apple account, and you're surprised that she can reset the password? I'm really confused by this story, much less how Apple is in any way to blame or this is at all surprising. As an aside, what you described is serviced by Family Sharing now. I have my wife and my four kids in my Family -- literally and from an Apple account perspective -- and they all have access to my purchases and each others, unless the product specifically forbids it which is rare , my Apple One Premiere, etc.
It's a wonderful system. One would assume that the password reset would reset her iCloud account and not the App Store account. Or at least I would have received some sort of notification on my devices which are logged into the iCloud account that a password reset is attempted. Terretta 4 months ago root parent next [—]. It shares and maybe always shared? Not just that, can also share among family members, not just head to others.
Apple has done an amazing job making family sharing seamless across most kinds of scenarios, and getting devs to support the licensing model. Only your devices should be logged into both accounts your iCloud account and your iTunes account. You can then use family sharing and purchase sharing to share from the iTunes account to all of the accounts in the family.
None of your family members should be logged into anything but their own iCloud accounts. It just kind of happened. Yeah, that's what we need government intervention to fix. I'll have to do something similar for my daughter who has an account which claims she is a few years older than she actually is and who now wants to be part of the family group with a child account.
I wonder if contacting Apple to adjust the age might work. It just doesn't work. Try reading the help forums again. Not directly related to the article but the author posting on twitter that they want to move all of their accounts to one company seems like a terrible idea. Surely having multiple accounts is safer for both counter-party risk and insurance? The trade off is continuous low grade toil to maintain the multiple accounts.
I recently realized that, with me using my Apple devices less and less frequently, and having abandoned all of Apple's services long ago, I no longer remember my Apple ID password. I still occasionally use one iPad for testing on iOS 7 Safari, and when the surprise unprompted prompt for the password appeared, I realized this.
Of course, I clicked Cancel. There's one less bullshit service to submit to. It's a great feeling. I could give up Apple completely, except for their phones, and the Ipad.
I will probally live long enough to see a better phone than Apple. It's the Ipad that companies need to jump on. There just isn't any real competition. The head of Amazon's fire devices shouid be fired immediately. They get it wrong in every aspect, with every new devise. I am glad Apple takes security very serious, and kicks out questionable apps.
That piece if mind is worth paying more. Do you honestly think Android and Google are better? In my experience, yes. I can load. An Android device has NEVER locked up on me, demanding "activation", which then makes me wait seconds before timing out and not working. Happened two different devices, and that's just recently, and one I was not able to recover. I can install different versions of Chrome, Chromium, and even non-Google browser distributions and engines like Bromite, all independent of the OS.
Bromite is the only mobile browser I know which has a "View Source" command in the menu. No, adding "view-source:" to the beginning of the address bar using kludgy cursor control and text entry, is NOT workable. And I can sort-of kind-of access the file system with a whole array of different tools.
All on every stock device I've ever tried. I recently rediscovered a device with Android 5. It's now my daily driver. I would say that's not just better, that's MUCH better.
Google business is built on using your data, it is truly an Ad company, while Apple is not. And common perception of Android as open source, it is not. Google Play Services runs all the time and is closed source. Anunayj 4 months ago root parent next [—]. Aug 8, AM in response to armenjosephchak In response to armenjosephchak. Aug 8, AM. Jan 22, PM. I wrote a letter to Tim Cook after spending an inordinate amount of time on Apple problems, this being one of them. They referrred me to am Analyst in Mr.
Cook's office who was very kind and tenacious is resolving my issues. The gentleman man looked up the answer and told me the issue was regarding "copyright law. I'm sure that is a significant amount of money to Apple and they decided they wanted to avoid the issue altogether regardless of whether you downloaded your own cd's, bought music from another internet source or even purchased it with an Apple gift card.
I have a legal question. About who should be liable--Apple for enxouraging us to set up an Apple ID for that purpose and therefore avoiding the copyright issue without telling us what they were doing?
Are they doing that to kick us out in the cold make any trademark issues our liability? Sep 4, PM. More Less. Communities Get Support. Sign in Sign in Sign in corporate. Browse Search.
