Apple ID for developer program

I currently have an apple ID that I used to register for the free iPhone developer account used to download the SDK. I have also used this in iTunes and the app store for purchases. I am going to join the paid, $99/year developer program. Apple recommends a new separate apple ID and account for this, to keep accounting information, etc. separate.
So I would like a new account, as suggested, since I have previously used the other account for iTunes and app store. But I have also used this account to register as an apple developer for access to the SDK, etc.
My question is, will joining the paid developer program with a brand new ID cause any problems because I have previously registered for free as an apple developer to get access to the SDK?

I was going to ask this same question. Glad to see that it is not a problem.
I have a further question though that I didn't want to make a whole new thread for:
When I register as an Apple Developer and create my new apple id account for it, do I need to use my real first name in the first name field - specifically with regards to future payments or whatever if I ever made an iphone app that people bought?
The thing is that in real life I don't go by my real first name, but my bank and credit information does. So if I put the first name everyone calls me as my first name, will I then run into trouble later when I publish apps for sale on the app store and need to do whatever financial information they need?
Also, just what information will be seen by the public or on the app store? Will they see my name and I should be doing it as a company instead if I don't want my name public or whatever? Or am I just worrying about this stuff too much and it's no problem because when you get to the point of submitting an app all these things can be dealt with then??
Sorry for the complete cluelessness of these questions
Thanks!

If I register as individual for Developer Program, can I change to company at later date?

I've done that.
You have to fax Apple the documents of incorporation (the stuff you get from the state government in the US) that show you are a real business (or at least hoping to be).
They guide you through the process.
It took 2 or 3 days to complete.
Pretty simple.

Offers apple an app Developer Program in Germany too?

This is a question I should ask in the corresponding german board.
But I can't find one! Perhaps there is non. Whatever I do, I end up here.

Thanks!
How foolish. I visited this site too of course.
But I never clicked the "continue" button.
I expected a german site.

Deaf Company applying for Developer Program hitting a snag

A month ago I applied for the Apple Developer Program.
I and my partner, we are Deaf, and founded a company. We are developing a visual communication system for sign language users. We, the founders, and the customers are Deaf. We released our visual communication service about three weeks ago. In our multi-language country the sign language community is very excited about our service, because it overcomes language barriers. We also got a note from European Deaf communities because a Deaf in a country might not be able to write the language of another Deaf's country, but they are able to send messages to each other in International Sign Language.
Of course we want to develop an app for our service on iOS. Therefore we applied for the Apple Developer Program. However we were hit by a snag. It seems to be required that Apple calls back for verification.
How can you phone a Deaf person?
I offered alternative communication. Short message service, Skype, Whatsapp, old reliable email, whatever.
We got an email after a week that our case has been escalated. After another week an email pleading for patience. This has been two weeks ago. Four weeks have passed since the application. And now nobody answers anymore when I send emails or support forms requesting a status update.
It's like Apple died.
We want to be treated as everyone else. If phoning is not possible because of a handicap there are other solutions to contact us. It's the same as providing accessibility to buildings and websites. The Apple Developer Program has to provide accessibility like everyone else.
My partner is very disappointed in Apple. He said, Apple believes that Deaf people are dumb and not able to develop software.
Apple, what are you up to? How can we register for the Apple Developer Program?

A sure-fire way to get one's thread deleted here in Apple Support Communities is to leave the technical discussions behind and start attacking people personally. I'm not one to report posts like that when directed at me. I prefer a more orthoganal engagement.
Do you know how essential phoning is today? Delivery people phone ahead to check if anybody is home. Many forms have phone numbers required. Customs try to phone me to find out what to do with the package. Apple tried to phone us. The CA tried to phone us.
Actually, no. I haven't had a single business-related phone call in two years at least. Nobody phones anymore. People send e-mails and the luddites still send faxes. Curiously, the vast majority of complaints from non-US developers trying to get business developer accounts stems from Apple's reliance of faxes for international business. They ask "Seriously Apple? Who has a fax machine anymore?" Why didn't you mention anything about a fax? This is the very first time I have heard of a phone call in this context.
But please imagine: You order a thingamajig on a foreign website. They ask for your tax number. You don't have the right one because you live in a different country. You get a few mails that they escalate and reassign your case. After two weeks this stops. No replies, no mails, nothing.
After four weeks, boom, you have your thingamajig delivered.
A developer account is a far cry from a "thingamajig" you order over the internet. It is a financial service where Apple pays you money. And yes. Taxes are involved. You don't live in a different country. Your product will be sold from the United States so you and Apple are responsible for complying with US and international trade, financial, and tax law. It gets complicated real fast. You are doing international business deals and those things simply take a long time.
And for the record, Apple's support number for people needing accessiblity services is:
1-877-204-3930
It works fine when I called it. Please use the correct number. When dealing with things like software development, taxes, money, and the law, details are important.

Using ALT+cursor function of apple keyboard for windows program

Not sure where to ask this question, but here goes. My company uses a web based transportation routing program I can access from my home computer, (which is a Mac using Mac, not windows).
Using the program requires the ability to often select or deselect lines from a group of lines to send to be routed. Using a Microsoft keyboard I would simply press ALT and then select with the cursor the lines I want. When I am using my apple keyboard this does not work.
I know that the command key takes the place of the ALT key, so you would think that I would simply press Command and select with the cursor, but this does not work. Therefore all I can do is select all or none.
Anyone have a idea of another combination of keys that will work for this?
Thanks
I am using the standard apple keyboard with the numeric keys

Not sure why that isn't working. I have a page displaying below from the Apple Support website, with three different lines selected:
The purple highlighted lines are all selected independently of one another. Maybe it is the type of webpage or data?

Suggestion for developer program?

Ok so my hobby is programming stuff and I wanted to put apps on the iphone, but it costs 100$/year to program for the iPhone and I don't have that much money to spend on hobbies.
So here's my suggestion:
Let people program for the iphone for free and if they have a paid app for the app store then don't give them any money until the earn 100$ in that year. After that, they can earn their own money.
Then apple still gets 100$/year but now people can program for free.
Why can't apple do this? is there a business problem with doing that?

Apple is kept busy enough with people serious about the program.
Why should they turn over a worldwide distribution platform and wait on you to make money.
I paid the fee to get in back in '09 and Apple has effectively paid for all my expenses since then

Legal requirements/documents for Developer Program enrollment (from Japan)

Hi. We are about to register our company for a developer account. However, before we begin the process, we need to prepare everything that Apple is going to require in advance. One of the first pages in the enrollment process says we will need to provide "business documents including, but not limited to: Articles of Incorporation, Business License, etc." We need to know what is included in that "etc." We need the entire list of things to have in advance and work out with our lawyers. We are a Japanese company based solely in Japan, so we need to know how this will come into play.

Isn't the enrollment ID just your Apple ID?

Enterprise developer program features

Actually I want to distribute my own application through a private website.
unfortunately the problem is a section of the app use some private framework libraries which is invalid as point of view of Apple.
So there is a question and it's "May i distribute these kind of app via an Enterprise Developer Program?"
seriously appreciate for your respect,
regards,

If I'm right, then why do you ask again if you can do something different? The bottom line is that you can do whatever you want, until Apple kicks you out of the developer program and revokes all of your certificates. Apple runs the developer program at its own convenience for its own reasons. It isn't for you. You are only allowed to use it to the extent that you provide value to Apple, Inc. shareholders. That's the way the world works my friend.

I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently have the same account name in iBooks. I need to change the iBooks account but don't know how. Do I change my apple id? Will this cause me problems with iTunes etc etc?

I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently already have an account with iBooks, cant have this it seems.how do I change my iBooks account, is this the apple id for my iPad and if I change this will it cause problems accessing iTunes etc?

I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not? Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.
