David Sparks: 我经历了将购买内容从一个旧的Apple ID迁移到主要Apple ID的困难，Apple 的迁移功能存在很多限制和问题，例如家庭共享状态、音乐重复等。迁移过程中丢失了一些内容，并且出现了其他问题，例如iPad无法连接iCloud，应用更新需要登录旧账户等。如果迁移第一次失败，建议放弃。 Stephen Hackett: 我也经历了类似的问题，Apple允许迁移购买内容令人震惊，因为我感觉这违反了之前的协议。很多人拥有两个Apple ID，一个用于购买，一个用于iCloud同步，迁移内容很麻烦。早期iPod用户创建Apple账户购买音乐，后来这些账户变成了“一个ID统治所有”的系统。我尝试将次要Apple ID上的购买内容迁移到主要Apple ID，因为我意识到很多内容现在都可以通过流媒体获取。但是，迁移过程中也遇到了一些问题，例如应用更新需要登录旧账户。
