Help

I bought my son an iPAD for Xmas and downloaded a few apps and a few movies from itunes using my account. I also gave him a iTunes gift card so he could buy his own apps and movies etc.... and I set up an iTunes account under his name.

Of course, now if I sync with his iTunes account he will lose the stuff I loaded for him and because he has his own account Home sharing doesn't seem to want to work.

Is there a way to keep his apps/movies on his ipad yet still have his own iTunes account.

A dad who has gone from hero to Zero - Thanks

Thanks, I believe you can only share up to 5 computers if they all use the same itunes account name (for anything purchased) - which seems the be the dilemma.

Thanks though
