Aha! I see the problem but don't know how to fix it. Multiple IDs!

Over the years, my apple reliance has increased. I have two different email addresses in a bizarre combination on my iMAC, iPhone, and iPad. It prevents me from doing backups completely, getting the latest version of some apps, and using the cloud as it was meant to be.
IDs, next, are shortened to make this more readble.
My iMAC uses an itunes ID called TAR. This is where I have bought plenty of iTunes music, but always export to MP3 -- so if I have to trash this ID it'd be ok.
My iPad shows an iCloud ID of TNT, an iTunes store ID of TAR, and my appleID as TAR.
My iPhone shows an iCloud ID of TNT, and an apple ID of TAR. I have purchased some apps and I fear not using TAR on it may nulify all of those purchases.
Should I simply DELETE my iPhone and IPad iCloud accounts and then create new ones on those devices with ID of TAR?
Please advise! What do I need to set where so that I have one and only one email address for everything.
If this is NOT the cure to my problems, what else can I check? (Eg. when I do a backup in iTunes on my iMac it says that my iPhone and iPad are not recognized... yet it proceeds with a backup MOSTLY. Authorizing/reauthorizing it from the iMac seems to make no difference.
The password guesses and resets over the years have been insane, as you might have gathered.
Thank you!
Tim

yeah, remove the icloud accounts, and choose to keep the data on the device when you do so. then, when you sign in with the other id, it'll ask if you want to merge, and you will. then all your information will be in one id

  • How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture.  I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

    I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error.  I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture.  How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

    Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
    If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles.  Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.

  • The new zoom feature overlaps some of the headings. I have a screen shot of the problem but don't know how to send that to you.

    I have a screen shot of the problem, I can send it to you. The first thing I tried was a zoom on your header. It looks like some things in your header were anchored to the right while others anchored to the left. When the zoom occurred they met in the middle.

    Thanks, I know I'm not really a big brand (not even a brand at that) but I think you could always release as Firefox's first own brand mobile WITH the OS :)

  • TS1398 My iPhone wont allow me to turn the wifi on. I've also noticed that I have no wifi address for my phone. If that is the problem, I don't know how to tell it what my wifi address should be.

    Under Settings>Wi-Fi it is showing that my Wifi is off. When i open that to turn it on, it won't allow me to slide it to the on position. It's lighter grey instead of bold, which tells me that action is not available. Under Settings>General>About it says that my Wi-Fi Address is N/A. I have figured out that it should be the very same as my Bluetooth, which also will not work, but I don't know how to program that into my iPhone

    That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

    If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

  • Ran into Xorg7-Problems. Don't know how to fix

    Good Evening.
    I upgraded to the new xorg-package in testing and I read the news on archlinux.org.
    At first I changed all /usr/X1186/lib entries to /urs/lib, but there are still some errors:
    (EE) Failed to load module "bitmap" (module does not exist, 0)
    (EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist, 0)
    Fatel server error:

    But the modules are there
    /usr/lib/xorg/fonts/libbitmap.so
    /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libpcidata.so
    I run 'pacman -S testing/xorg' to get all packages - but that doesen't help.
    I managed to finally get x up but. I changed the ModulePath
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg"
    Things above are solved. But below is a problem.
    But I get new failures. However I see my openbox for 1 second and than it's out again.
    Here are the messages concerning openbox. I removed and installed it again. And I didn't found anything like /usr/X1186.. in the openbox' rc.xml

  • I want to integrate radium again to the menubar, but don't know how

    The option is in Radium's preferences assuming Radium is running. Otherwise, run the application first.

  • My iPad calendar has stopped syncing to my iPhone calendar. I didn't change any settings. I have now switched off the iCloud calendar on my iPhone but don't know how to get it back.

    I added items to my iPad calendar yesterday but they wouldn't copy into the calendar on my IPhone. I switched both devices off and on again but to no avail. The calendars were all ticked the same. I have now deleted the iCloud calendar from the iPhone but don't know how to get it back.
    My Errands app is also not syncing. If I mark something as Done on the iPad, it's not removing them on the iPhone version.
