[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1838877, member: 204485"] The reason for my suggestion is based on a real life situation a married couple (friends of mine) had a few years back. They too had an iMac and one Apple account. In the beginning it was the only Apple device they owned. Then the wife got an iPhone. That was fine, she synced it to the iMac and iCloud. Then she decided to give her phone to her husband and buy a new larger iPhone and later an iPad. The husband changed the SIM card in his iphone the wife kept hers but created a new Apple ID for her iPad. Before long he was receiving her emails while her new emails went to her iPad but not her iPhone. This was further complicated by the forgetting of the first Apple ID password and the fact that the old email address used for the Apple ID no longer existed so reset codes could not be received. It just became more and more complex and took a couple of hours from ma and several calls to Apple to sort it out.
