Apple account / aol member

what is the difference between an apple account and an aol member. I (think) i have an apple account but my isp is aol so which do i use?
thanks

Greetings,
Your apple account is most likely what you signed in as at this apple website to post your message. Your aol account is most likely what you (or others) use as an email and/or IM account.

    Just upgraded to Mavericks. In Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts, I've dis-enabled all accounts. Then, I enable a single, empty, 3rd-party IMAP email account (no mail, no user mailboxes) and observe the following messages, occasionally repeated in the Console log. How to fix?

  • TS2890 will I no longer be able to sign into my apple account using AOL after 30th March

    I received an e-mail in my junk folder in AOL, claiming to to be from iTunes, saying that after the 30th March I will no longer be able to sign into my Apple account using AOL. Is this correct, or is this a Spam?

    I never heard of that. Did it include a link to click on? Did you click on it?
    Can you post the headers from that email? That will help determine if it really came from iTunes
    Since it also went to your SPAM folder it sure sounds like SPAM

  • Switched from AOL to Apple account - now cannot use songs on 2nd computer

    Hi there hope someone can help me
    i changed (deleted) my old account 'cause my e-mail and billing changed (from AOL to Apple ID).
    So far so good, after that there are no problems on my main computer.
    But I also registered my laptop as a 2nd user for my music. Since I changed the account everything was ok.
    But now iTunes will not play the "old" music (bought with the "deleted" AOL account). Everytime when i want to play a song it asks me for the old (AOL) account, but naturally it does not exists and login fails. When I use the new account to register iTunes on the "old" songs, it shows an succesful login but i still cannot play the song (the login window shows againg).
    How can I "switch/ transfer" the songs from my old account (AOL) to the new one (Apple ID).
    Register/ De-register won't help.
    Thanks for any help
    Tom

    What exact error message will you receive when trying to login with your old AOL ID?
    Also take a look at http://www.apple.com/de/support/itunes/musicstore/email/
    You may use the contact form at the bottom:

  • Old AOL iTunes account vs. new Apple account

    Please help. I had an old iTunes account thru AOL (now expired). My son got an iTunes gift card at Xmas, and put the card number in when he signed on to the music store. The credit showed up ($15.00) in the window on the Music Store, but it would not let him purchase music because the account was expired on AOL. I then went in and created an Apple account using my new e-mail, credit info, PayPal account #, etc. Needless to say, the $15.00 credit has disappeared (and my son doesn't have the gift card anymore). I called the AOL number given, but all they want is for me to reactivate my account, etc. Does anyone know a way to retrieve the old information or someone at Apple to contact to rectify the account status? Any ideas appreciated........L

    You don't have to change your AppleID just because the email changed.
    You can manage your AppleID here, where you can change the email associated with that AppleID, and I think you may be able to change the AppleID username. https://appleid.apple.com/
    However, if you already created an AppleID with that new email address, you can't associate it with the old AppleID.
    Regardless, the username is irrelevant to the actual account. It's just a username, but when set up, it uses your current email address as a username.

  • Problem Listening to Songs after Switching from AOL to Apple Account

    I'm not sure if anyone here has had a similar issue, but I thought I'd try anyway. So just this week, I got an iPod touch; I had a shuffle a while back. My account with iTunes was an AOL account, so when I logged into it, it made me change to an Apple account. All seemed to work okay.
    When I tried to move some old songs I had purchased with the AOL account to my new computer and play them in iTunes, it says I am not authorized to listen to them. It brings up a pop-up to sign in with the old AOL account name already filled in. When I try to sign in with it to authorize the account, it says that the AOL account has already been switched to an Apple account, so I should log in with that. But logging in with the Apple account, though I am authorized for that one, still does not let me play the song.
    Any advice? Thanks!

    How do I verify my apple account when it won't allow me to log into my aol account in order to confirm it??

    It's my grand moms iPad that she just got ... A lady came and set up her Apple ID and left the password on a piece of paper ... She wanted me to download some games for her so I tried and it told me to confirm my Apple ID account first and that a verification email has been sent to the account ... So I went to aol and used the Apple ID email and password thinking that's the right account and it won't log me in what do I do?

    I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to move music I purchased with an AOL account to an existing Apple Account? I still have the AOL account (don't use it very much), but would rather just all my music be under my Apple account. Also, if anyone knows how to delete an AOL account (after I get my music moved of course), that would be great. Too many account just become tedious. Thanks! --luau

    *how to move music I purchased with an AOL account to an existing Apple Account?*
    You can't.
    When you get rid of your AOL acccount you can.
    See this page -> http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/email/
    "To convert your AOL iTunes account to regular iTunes account, attempt to log in to the iTunes Store three times with your AOL screen name and password. After the third attempt, you'll be prompted to convert your account."

  • Can't Switch From AOL To Apple Account

    In preparation for a new phone on June 29th, I'm trying to switch from AOL account to Apple account. I want to be able to migrate all my TV show purchases to my new phone.
    I enter the incorrect AOL password a few times, then iTunes lets me enter account information to change the account. It looks like it gets hung up on the final (or nearly final) step, where iTunes asks what county I live in for tax purposes. I choose my county, click on "Done", then the following red text appears... "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later."
    Well, I've tried this again "later", entering the text several d*mn times (I'm getting VERY frustrated at this stage) over the past several days! I need to get this resolved immediately!
    Help!

  • Having second hand iPhone 4 of family member now recognized as a device linked to my apple account and not theirs.

    I'm sure this has been covered in another tread but I haven't been able to locate a solution to my query so here goes...
    I have acquired an iphone 4 (and an iPad 2 but not too concerned with it in this discussion) from a deceased relative. Have unlocked the phone as my uncle's carrier was vodafone which differs from my carrier so no problems there...
    The phone is working perfectly as a phone but in terms of transferring apps from my old phone which i have backed up to my macbook pro's itunes to my uncle's phone is proving an issue. In addition to this my old iphone without a sim card but with 3G or Wifi enabled will receive imessages rather than my uncles.
    Essentially my uncle's iphone does not seem to respond as a piece of apple tech when synced with my itunes.
    I am aware that there is issues with iphones and people having acquired them second hand have been told they have essentially bought a pricey paperweight.
    Where my situation differs is I have the account details for my uncle's apple account.
    Is there any way given that i have these details i can have my uncle's iphone recognized as a device linked to my apple account so that i can receive imessages and sync backed up apps from my old iphone 4 to this iphone.
    Any instructions would be really appreciated and again if this has been covered before please bear with me

    Thanks,

    There isn't a way to transfer your existing AOL emails to your iCloud email account without opening each one and emailing them to your iCloud email address.  However, you can stop accumulating addiional email in your AOL account by going to your email preferences for your account on the AOL website and set up your account to forward all incoming email to your iCloud account.  (I assume AOL allows you to set up email forwarding as it is a fairly standard feature with most email providers.)

  • Apple Account setup for severely disabled individual

    I have a severely disabled 19 year old son who has a new iPad which is primarily intended to be used as a switch operated communication device.  He is very keen to access iTunes and the AppStore so I need to setup an Apple account in his name but because his iPad is accessible to other people in his life, I also need to have control over any purchases that are made.  Since my son is deemed to be an adult in law, I wonder if anyone can tell me if it is possible to setup an Apple account in his name, but as a family member, with family sharing, linked to my account?

    Hey bryanfern,
    It is certainly possible to set up an Apple ID for your son using this page -
    Apple - My Apple ID
    You can also set up Family Sharing to include him. This article explains how -
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    One point you mention is having control over account spending. In a family sharing group, the organizer agrees to pay for all purchases made by members of the group. For members of the group under 18 (this age may vary by location) the Ask to Buy feature is available. It is not available for members over that age, however. See this article -
    Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • One main apple account and multiple icloud accounts

    Help please! We have one main apple account/ID that we use for purchases. I have set up seperate iCloud accounts for my 3 kids so that our information (mail, contacts, etc) is kept seperate. I have enabled the restrictions on their iPods also.
    It looked like I had everything separated correctly, they had their own contact book, their own email account, and were (hopefully) able to only iMessage/Facetime with the contacts that are loaded in their phone. I went to test this by going to iMessage and started to type one of the pre-loaded contacts in their phone and all my  personal contacts showed up. I do not want my kids accidentlly iMessaging my contacts. How are these getting pulled in? I can not find in settings anywhere where to turn this off. My contacts are not listed in their contact book on their iPod?
    Thank you so much for your help!

    My kids favorite games are mindcraft and flappy bird and when I mentioned restoring their phone they were a bit worried. Looks like I might need some quiet time to read that document over and see if their is a way to save their info in the games. Looks like there might be? If I can figure that out then I will for sure restore their phones. In the meantime I am telling them to be super careful not to send mass text to my contacts Thank you for your help!
