Change from expired .mac apple ID to a new .me?

I set up my iPad using my apple ID which is my expired .mac address.
I'd like to set up a .me email for iCloud that I can actually use but keep my apple ID for iTunes purchases.
Everything I've read says to do this when you first set up the iPad....
Is this possible? Would a wipe of the iPad work or is that not necessary? My phone is on iOS 5 but my laptop is on 10.6. Will the cloud get screwed up if I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I have setup a new Apple ID for my iCloud, as I wanted a new ID and email so Apple support helped me to move all of my contacts, calendars, notes and reminders over to my new Apple ID but I also want to move all of my iTunes content and such over to this new Apple ID and start to use only the new Apple ID for both iCloud and iTunes on all of my devices and then eventually just delete the old one eventually. Is this possible, as they are both my Apple ID's?

On my iPhone, how do I change from my old Apple ID to my new Apple ID in my iCloud Account Information?

Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup with your new ID.

I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. A large chunk of emails have disappeared. Time Machine is no help. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. Despite using Migration Assistant, a large chunk of my recent emails and nearly all of my wife's emails have disappeared in transit. Strangely, emails from my distant past are still there. Time Machine is no help; the messages may be on my backup disc but they're behind an invisible icon. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Can I sync purchased/merge/move apps from an old apple-ID to a new one?

Hello all.
I have been using an apple-ID, which I have been sharing with my family, for about two years now.
Now I want to have my own apple-ID, so that I can have fully control over it myself, and so that I can use iCloud on my own apple devices and not on the whole family's!
The problem is, though, that I have purchased a lot of apps on that old apple-ID, and I do not feel like buying all of those apps again on a new apple-ID - that would be a waste of money!
So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?
Of course I can keep all of the apps on my devices, but then again, it would be very unpractical to purchase and update some apps with the new ID, while I still have to update other apps with the old one.
Any solutions?

"So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"
No.
Sorry.
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.

I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

Restopre from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also,
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the memory? Will that affect iCloud? Sorry for the end-user questions!!

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

I just upgraded from the first Apple tv to the new one. I had a large library of purchased movies that I had stored on an external harddrive. I would manually choice movies I wanted to watch and then sycn to the first ATV as to not waste space on the ATV drive. Now with the new ATV I don't see any of these manual sycn controls plus many movies in the library now seem to be "lost".
thank you

Thank you.

1) No chooser.

Restore the iPad to out of the box configuration. This will erase all contents/settings on the iPad. Then set up using your ID and email info.

I'm using the same Apple ID for both my iPhone 4 and iPad2, now I'm thinking of create a seperate Apple ID for my iPad 2, can anyone please advice on how to change my iPad2's Apple ID to a new one? Thanks!

Hi, I'm currently using iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with the same Apple ID, now I want to change my iPad 2's Apple ID to a new one so that it can be seperated from my iPhone 4's Apple ID. However, when I tried to change my iPad 2's Apple ID, my iPhone 4's Apple ID also changed. But I want to maintain the same old Apple ID for my iPhone 4 and try to change the iPad 2's Apple ID to a new one so that I can get it to my kid to use it. I would be most grateful if anyone in this forum can advice me on how to change my iPad 2's Apple ID and I can still maintain the old Apple ID for my iPhone 4? Thanks a lot in advance.

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

Help transferring files from old Mac 10.3.9 to new Mac 10.6.1

Hi - I just bought a new iMac with Snow Leopard and I am trying to transfer my old files from my iMac running 10.3.9. I connected a FireWire cable between the two and restarted the old iMac while holding down the "t" key, using Migration Assistant on the new iMac. Migration Assistant kept saying that it was waiting for the old iMac to restart, even though the old one HAD restarted. I looked on the forums and saw that I should try to run Setup Assistant from the Utilities folder on the old iMac. But there isn't a Setup Assistant in the Utilities folder.
So I am at an impasse. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Some of the items I've found via searching suggest to avoid transfer or migration of older
files from the ancient 10.3 over to the newer 10.5 or 10.6. And when the old computer is
a PowerPC, the new Intel-based Mac may not see or be able to use some of the items.
The older Setup Assistant is supposed to do for Panther 10.3 what the newer Migration
Assistant does for Tiger 10.4; to an extent. The results from the older system are limited.
There is a way to have the new computer import some of the older computer's user files
and account info into it, before its first run; but with a leap so great between 10.3 & 10.6,
the results overall won't be as satisfactory as just running the new computer totally new;
going through the setup and upgrade processes independent of the old Mac altogether.
The Apple Support- Snow Leopard page should have some upgrade and migration help
info on there which may be helpful: http://www.apple.com/support/snowleopard/
It would appear that the instructions for migrating from an older Mac to one running 10.5
or 10.6 apply to the older computer, so the Panther software may be secondary if it really
matters at all in this process. See this document, and wonder along with me... This is not
quite the same as a migration assistant; but you don't need FW Target Disk in either case.

How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3322
The older method may not apply in the path you've chosen, outlined here, below;
but note there are matters about file and older app compatibility in the newer OS:
• Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4:
Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1554
In the past, I've done a bit of upgrade and some migration action and found that overall,
the new OS X seemed to work a lot better with nothing old involved. That's just me!
And I'm sure each individual's mileage may vary...
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I transfer music from my husbands apple id into my new apple id?

HI.
My question is:
How do I tranfer music that I've purchased on my husbands apple account onto My new Apple id account?
For a long time we shared the same apple id, but it caused alot of headaches with merging contacts and so on....
So I decided to create my own apple id!
I Synced my Macbook Pro, Iphone5 and Ipad to MY new apple id and set up icloud as well for all 3 devices.
The music has not yet erased...(I have no idea how I manged that!) but I'm afraid that when I make a purchase on MY new account
and sync it to the other devices all the previously purchased music on HIS account/apple id will be deleted from MY devices.... So, I was trying to figure out if theres a way to bring those purchases into my account?
Hope my explanation makes sense :/
Thanks a million for your help!
Nadia

You don't. Items purchased with one Apple ID are not transferable, nor can IDs be merged. However, since all music in the iTunes store has been DRM-free since late 2009 you can simply add his music to your library.
If your iPhone is synced iTunes on another computer, though, it will have to be erased to sync to a new library as iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time.
Incidentally, you've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question is not really related to. In the future you'll get much better support responses by posting to the appropriate forum.
