Different Apple ID's stuck in iPhone and MBP. Also, want to change iTunes account email.

Hi,
I just got my first Macbook Pro (YAY!!), and after fiddling around with it for a couple of days I would like to take advantages of the features of syncing with iCloud in my new hardware and my iPhone 4 (basicly clean up account stuff and enable stuff like Photostream).
I have two Apple ID's.
My [email protected] is used on my new Macbook Pro for iCloud: contacts, calendars, bookmarks, photostream, doc's and data and Find My Mac. It is also used on my iPhone 4 for contacts, calendars, reminders and Find My iPhone.
My [email protected] is used on my Macbook Pro for Mail & Notes, Calendars and Chat. It is also used on my iPhone 4 for iCloud: contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, photostream, doc's and data and Find My iPhone.
To me it seems like my two Apple ID's are contributing with the same things from multiple sides etc. My hotmail used to be my primary email, but I've changed and started using google's services more (especially mail, notes, contacts and calendar). I would like to remove hotmail as primary mail from my devices and use my gmail account as primary instead, and at the same time of course redirect my visa from my hotmail iTunes account to my gmail Apple ID. I will still add my hotmail to get the mail in my iOS and OSX mail native mail programs, but only as a "secondary" account attachment.
I've been reading about these topics of merging multiple ID's as well as the answer to this question https://discussions.apple.com/message/16400957#16400957 , but I can't figure out where to start and what to do. Can anyone please help me, let me know what to do, in which order or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Esben
Ps. I've attached a screenshot of my iPhone 4's settings under @Mail, Contacts, Calendar@, hoping it makes it clearer what is on my iPhone, than I were in the text.

I bought an album on my iPhone and it never transferred to my iTunes account. It has disappeared now and I'm not allowed to buy it again. How can I find my missing music album or have the option to purchase it again?

Hello bubblegirl2,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased album.
First, I recommend trying to download the album from you list of past purchases. Use the steps in the section titled "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC > iTunes Store" in the following article:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you have tried those steps and still do not see the album, it may be that the album is hidden. Follow the steps below in iTunes on your computer to check if it is hidden and unhide it:
To unhide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

Is it possible to run an iPhone and an iPod off of one iTunes account?

Is it possible to run an iPhone and an iPod off of one iTunes account? I want to buy an iPhone but I also want to use my Ipod Touch

As a clarification, you can have up to 5 devices with iTunes.
Sorry, this is incorrect. The limit of 5 relates to the number of computers you can authorize to use iTunes, NOT the number of iOS devices you can sync with a single iTunes library. You can sync as many iOS devices as you like to iTunes. See whitewater2's post below... he is syncing at least 6 iOS devices with the same iTunes library.

HT4847 Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account

Just got a second iPad for the home.
Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account?

Yes, but it's not usually recommended to share an iCloud account within a family. If you do, any data you sync with iCloud will be merged and you, for example, will end up with each other's contacts and calendars on your devices. Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting a contact) will be replicated on the other devices. You will also all be sharing the same 5GB of free storage for all your data and device backups.
Normally it's best to use separate iCloud accounts for each person's devices. This will keep your data separated, and allow each person to have their own free 5GB of storage. You can continue to share the same iTunes ID within the family; the ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the one your use for iTunes purchasing. (Each person should also use a separate ID on their devices for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.)

I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -
http://www.citrix.com/products/receiver/resources-and-support.html
The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.

Do you know what server you're connecting to?

Can I use a different Apple ID for Find My IPhone and syncing contacts, calendars, etc?

I would like to use one Apple ID to sync all of my contacts and calendars, but I need to place the Find My iPhone functionality in a different Apple ID account. Is this possible? Ideally Find My iPhone would be the ONLY feature used by that account, not app sharing, store purchases or anything else.

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

Syncing iPhone and iPod touch with same computer/iTunes account

My son has an iPod Touch that we sync on my wife's computer and iTunes account. She is planning on getting an iPhone and I'm worried that when she attempts to sync her new iPhone that she'll get all of my son's iPod Touch apps. Is there a way to keep apps separate for each device?
Thanks!
David

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs. Just select what content or no content you want on your wife's phone, itunes will keep it all straight, including separate backups.

Does Apple buy the customer's iphone 4 ? I want to change my iphone 4 (AT

No. Apple wil not buy your iPhone back.
If it's an exchange, it has to be within 30 days of purchase.

HT1918 I purchased Iphone in London. Then i shifted to India after 1 yr and now i want to change the account info. But when i tried to change the credit card details in itunes, i get an error message that this card is not valid in UK.

I purchased iphone in London one year back. Then i shifted to India recently. Now when i want to change my credit card detail in itunes, i get an error message that This card is not valid in UK. But i am no more in UK now. In the same page i edited my address but itunes does not change that details showing the above error message.

So you are trying to change the account from India to the Uk right...? Cause it wont accept UK card if you're trying to keep it for India...

Change iTunes account Email Address on iPhone

Hi,
I have read a lot of posts in here about this but none seem to fix my problem.
I have changed my email address in iTunes account. I have synced iTunes with my iPhone.
But when I try and buy something my old email address appears on the iPhone iTunes store and it won't let me buy anything.
How can I change the email address the iPhone uses for purchasing things?

I accually called them and was on the phone for like two hours trying to fix it. Do you have an apple id? if so you can use that to buy a free song and then synce the phone and then after that try to buy something and your apple id name should come up. I was using my aol email address and then for some reason it stoped working and I couldnt bye anything. I did that and now I can buy stuff again..hope this helps

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1

On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

How do I get received messages from others to show up on my different Apple devices, such as my iPhone

How do I get received messages from others to show up on my different Apple devices, such as my iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch, etc. I can see their reply on the device I was using at that moment but not on the other devices even iMessaging is turned on. Is there a way to refresh to incoming messages when one picks up one of their other Apple devices?

HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
