Or I have to create new apple IDs for each device, tie those to the computer and provide that to my users? That's totally sustainable.įirst, Apple IDs do not have to have credit cards associsted with them, especially if the company is making volume license purchases. Let me remind you that apple IDs have credit cards associated with them. I need to use a generic apple ID for my devices, and then provide that password to everyone in my company? Yeah.

If the individual employee assigned the Mac has their own Apple ID, they can use that to install any of their personally acquired consumer apps of their choosing, apart from any software that the company has installed, as long as the Mac is solely in that employee's control. They don't even have to be left on a corp Mac. They are consumer apps for storing photos, making home movies and making home music. The iLife apps are the company's to do with as they wish. These apps are only updated with the operating system, not individually. The volume licensing for the core apps, the apps that are installed as part of OSX, are handled as the OS X license. I'll forward it to my users and hopefully can report on the results.

I don't care if its the way it works, it is absolutely assinine to tie the Apple ID of the first admin to the computer in a way that's not changeable without a re-format.ĬhewbaccaFreak: Thanks for the trash bin suggestion.

You talk about Apple Volume licensing, but how does that work for the "default" apps, I don't care if they're core or provided for free with the purchase of the system. Or I have to create new apple IDs for each device, tie those to the computer and provide that to my users? That's totally sustainable.

If I understand you correctly, I need to use a generic apple ID for my devices, and then provide that password to everyone in my company? Yeah. I might even re-invest in Apple if people continue to believe that.Īt any rate, I found this thread because I'm in IT for a company that has multiple Macs for our developers. Namely the "If you don't like the Apple Ecosystem, go somewhere else" attitude. I also want to thank you for still having that Apple swagger that I haven't seen for a while. First I want to thank you for your technically correct answers to dumpsterdave's questions.
