APPLE - MERGE MY AOL ACCOUNT NOW

Please for the sake of my children someone tell me how to get my gosh frick darned paid music out of my AOL account now, permanantely, for freaking ever so I never ever have to loose time over someone elses mistake. This morning for the umpteenth time I went to sync and play some music and get to work. NOPE! Hi we're Apple and you need to suffer!!
Every single computer change, every single device upgrade, every fricking 3rd saturday of the month when the moon is waxing... my fricking fracking paid AOL account drops down out of the sky like an angry old woman who thinks I've stolen her change and starts beating me with a cane.
This has been going on for some five years for me. Contact support, reset passwords, re-install iTunes, and the only solution is - I'm screwed with my AOL account purchased media forever. Hey Apple BITE ME! Well Great except one thing. Apple doesn't seem aware of this - I can never log into the store, but I can log into this support account, AOL mail, reset passwords through the store etc.
Other than that my mornings been fine... :-)

That's it APPLE *****, is this a computer generated response or what.I already have an APPLE Account, but that does not solve my problem, I cannot authorize my purchased music I bought using my old AOL account,What lousy customer Service. I am switching to another Music source for my MP3 downloads. I give up. This is about the 6th email I have generated and I just get the run around.

HT3231 I have completed migration, is it possible to merge the two account now? or a short cut to share information? I don't want to log in and out each time I want to see my old data.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

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:
"Ich kann meinen abgelaufenen AOL-Account nicht konvertieren"
Viel Glück!

HT4623 i changed my apple id and password and now all my old downloads wont update and i cannot redownload do i have to merge accounts somehow

i had to change my credit card info so i was instructed to change my apple id and password so now i cannot update my old downloads it will read wrong password what can i do to correct this because i cannot even redownload and these apps are needed

You should be able to make changes to your apple id information (and in your case it seems like you need to change your rescue email in the "security and privacy" section) by logging into your account at appleid.apple.com

I can no longer use my aol on mac mail. When I set up the aol account name and password I get a message that says "Unable to verify account name or password". This is on all my Apple devices. Seems like an AOL server issue but no help from them!

I can no longer make my AOL e mail work with Mac Mail on all my devices. When I try to set up the account and put in the correct aol account and password I get the message "Unable to verify account name or password". I know the account name and password is correct as I can open the AOL e mail page on Safari. I have changed the password, and it still does not work. AOL tech support has been no help. AOL email worked for years but last week due to suspected spam activity AOL locked my AOL account. I got that straightened out but now i cannot set it up on any of my devices: Macbook Air, Ipad, I pad mini and iPhone 6 without that message. I took everything to Apple store and everything is set up correctly on my devices. AOL tech support is no help and keeps giving me different solutions and answers, none of which has worked. Any solutions out there? All my Apple Software is up to date on all my devices

Delete your Gmail account from the Mail/Contacts/Calendars settings page, and then add it back in using the new Gmail password.

I set up my iCloud account on iPad with an exchange account and aol account. I can see exchange and aol emails but not those from .me account or apple email. I got it to show all 3 accounts on my iPhone with no problem. Hat am I missing?

I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
Any suggestions?

I signed up for Apple ID and Apple Support Communities separately. Can I merge the two accounts?

I signed up for an "Apple ID" and an "Apple Support Communities username" separately using the same e-mail address. Is there any way to merge the two accounts?
I signed up for "Apple Support Communities" several years ago to get help with Apple products. I then signed up for an "Apple ID" later on to buy stuff at the iTunes Store.
I was trying to access "Apple Support Communities" using my Apple ID and I get prompted to choose a username. But when I type my current username, it says the username is already taken. Alternatively, if I try to choose a new username to go along with my Apple ID, I get a message saying that there is a username already assigned to my e-mail address.
For some reason, "Apple Support Communities" is not intuitively syncing the two accounts together despite the fact that they are linked to the same e-mail address.
I don't want to cancel either of these accounts since I have activities using one/the other that I do want to preserve.
Can anyone help me merge these two accounts together?
Thanks.

I will do it for you. I can't say they will take any action, they operate in their own way, but if they feel there may be a threat to your security they will normally take it seriously. My guess is they would eMail their actions to you, though not to me of course.
I hope this will help.
Okay; I've now reported the thread.

AOL Account No Longer Works With iTunes / Import to Existing Apple ID?

Ok, so iTunes told me today that all AOL users are now required to migrate to using an Apple ID to use the online music store. I already have an Apple ID, and I don't want to enter credit card information to create a new Apple ID.
Is there a way to migrate my AOL account to my existing Apple ID? I have about $40 in iTunes gift card money on that account, and I'm sort of pisṡed that I'm being locked out of my own account suddenly without prior warning.

I have not been able to find this form. I ran into the same problem, thinking I had money in my account prior to converting to my apple id. My credit card got charged. I will keep looking for this form you mention.

Can't play songs purchased under old AOL account after upgrade to Apple ID

I guess I've been abandoned by the iTunesStoreSupport. They basically told me what caused my problem and now will not return any of my emails.
This message is mostly to inform anyone who "upgrades" an old AOL iTunes account to an Apple ID to be sure to use the same credit card for the new Apple account that you used for your AOL account.
About 2 years ago I "upgraded" my AOL iTunes Store account to be an APPLE ID. When I did that, I used a different credit card for my Apple ID than I had been using for my old AOL account. Big mistake. At the time I had no idea it would cause problems later. I don't remember seeing anything at all warning me about the importance of that at the time. Now, according to Shwetha at iTunesStoreSupport it is "important to use the same credit card for a successful conversion".
Everything worked fine with iTunes for the past 2 years, but a month ago I upgraded my hard drive in my computer and promptly recycled my old hard drive. Another mistake on my part.
A few days later when I went to play a song purchased under the old AOL account I got stuck in that endless loop where I get the prompt "This computer is not authorized to play __. Would you like to authorize it?" Then it asks me to Upgrade my AOL account, but I already did that 2 years ago. I went ahead and attempted to upgrade the AOL account again, but I was still stuck in the endless loop. (note: I did successfully authorize the computer for my Apple ID with no problems.)
I followed every step in the Troubleshooting Guide "support.apple.com/kb/TS1389" including the step where I delete the SC Info folder, but I was still stuck in that endless loop of authorizing / deauthorizing.
Shwetha was very professional and did work with me pretty quickly through 3 rounds of emails and various troubleshooting attempts. But as soon as we realized that I had used a different credit card when upgrading the AOL account to an Apple account and that the conversion was not successful, they stopped replying to my emails. I guess I'm a lost cause.

I repeat here a post I made elsewhere: I hope that it helps you, and, if it does, please post the info elsewhere.
You can get this problem solved!
I encountered this problem yesterday, when I tried to play some songs in my ITunes library on a new computer; this is an ITunes library that I had moved from my old computer.
I called Apple Support, and the excellent Tech person began looking into the problem.
Meanwhile, while I was waiting for him, I Googled the problem (which I should have done first): lots and lots of people (I discovered) have bumped into this same frustrating problem.
Yes: the problem arises when you move to a new computer with an ITunes library that includes songs you bought, way back when, using an AOL ID.
Apple Support contacted ITunes. And ITunes tracked down my AOL account, and then issued me (that is, me and Apple Support) a new Apple ID. There are two or three additional steps; they are not hard, but you need the combo of help from Apple Support and ITunes. The key thing is getting the new Apple ID, which you must have, and which, once it has done its work, you then can ignore..
I can now listen to everything--and I am signed in to ITunes using my current, usual Apple ID.
Note: All of this would be easier and simpler for us if we could actually speak to someone at ITunes; the only way we can get to a "live" person there is by contacting someone at Apple Support.

I used to have a itunes account and made a new one which is this one but i noticed that i have 1.00 on my account now and the one from before. is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??

Hi Jacob...
A $1.00 credit or an authorization hold ...
The $1.00 charge is just an "authorization hold" > iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds that will be credited back to your account usually within 24 to 48 hours.
is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??
If it's a $1 credit from a redeemed iTunes gift card, sorry, but Apple's policy states that Apple ID accounts cannot be merged > Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

Apple acct not synched with AOL account

I tried to get into my aol account but as usual it wouldn't recognize the password. When I created an apple account it doesn't have any of my history, including season pass purchases. What can I do? I used the same credit card number. Thanks!

I have a very similar problem. Apparently IMAP access is better than POP3. Well IMAP slows my Mac to a complete stop whereas POP3 is seamless. I deleted my POP3 mailboxes after successfully accessing my GMail accounts via IMAP, then it slowed down.
I've deleted the IMAP accounts a few times, but each time a new account is created it forces me to accept IMAP with no option for POP3. The help file also contains no information on POP3.
I get about 50 emails everyday and my usual point of email access has just become redundant, I must now rely on email via my browser and .
I made this change because the iPhone does not sync downloaded emails with Apple Mail. In Mail on my Mac, the one GMail inbox I have setup says there are 11 unread which it eventually shows yet none appear unread. I'll have to rely on web-based email until this is resolved.
Can anyone help with these IMAP access problems?
