Confusing question re apple id's as it relates to match

i have my old apple id that i've used for years - for app and music purchases, etc. when i got my iphone 4s, i set it up using the apple id associated with my mobileme account... thinking that it would make sense for the migration to icloud. so now i want to use match... i purchased it in itunes using the old id (the one i use for purchasing apps) and when i go to turn match on on my iphone, it's requesting the password of the apple id associated with my icloud service!
forgetting about the $25 i spent for a sec, i'm reluctant to repurchase through itunes using the apple id associated with my icloud service because then all the apps i purchased with the other apple id won't get updated, authorized, etc.
how do i resolve this?
thanks.

I have exactly the same problem here; just wrote to Support about it. Hope there's a resolution to this soon, as I really look forward to using the service. The whole multiple ID thing is very confusing. I'd like to be able to seamlessly link them all.

Hello AndrewsAFCx,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
All the best,
Sterling

i had recently followed orders to restore my iPhone 3gs (iOS 6.1) from a question on apple support. However it was working fine before that, it's just that my phone didn't have signal. So it said to restore my iPhone and now it says that the Activation server is temporarily unavailable and when i plugged it into my mac, it said that i ddn't have a sim card installed. What can I do to fix this besides bring it to the store? it also bugs me because this answer was supposed to work but it just messed my phone up even more. This has already happened once and i had to take it to the store. What should I do to fix this? Thank you so much for all answers. i really appreciate.

no so i dont know what happened

Security question for Apple ID

Why would the security question for Apple ID be different to those I answered when I set up the account.

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
Whichever method you use, you probably won't get a response until the 26th. If you absolutely must make a purchase before then, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

Plz help me to answer the security question of apple id

plz help me to answer the security questions of apple id coz i have a great problem that i couldn't buy the itunes music with out using security questions.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Re: Question on Apple Care

Could somone answer the question concerning Apple & Apple Care if you live in Florida? There is an odd Florida state law that prohibits the purchase or use of Apple Care if Florida is your legal residence. How does Apple work around that one or do they. Or are Florida residence (me soon) just have to live with the original warrenty?
I can't even get an answer from Apple Care as to if my current contract would still be good once I move. The folks that answer the phone tell you they can't answer anything once you mention Florida. So they won't even tell me if my Apple Care falls into neverland once my legal address changes.

If you live in Missouri now and buy a Apple Computer and register it, then buy an AppleCare Protection Plan and enroll it using your Missouri address, you will have no trouble later on if you need to get your computer repaired through AppleCare in Florida. If you buy the APP in another state and enroll it, moving to Florida does not cancel it. It's only the sale of the plans themselves that is prohibited, not the service they provide. You can safely change your address and your APP will continue to provide you service.

Hi tyler30389,
You can reset the security questions for your Apple ID by going to My Apple ID and navigate to the Password and Security section to change them. You will have to know the answer and if you do not know them there should be a reset security questions email link. If you do not see one then you will have to contact Apple Support to further assist you. For more information take a look at the article below.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
