Do I have to have an iTunes account before i can set up my first iPhone

does a person have to have an iTunes account before they can set up their first iPhone? I've had and apple ID for so long I don't remember the answer to this question. A friend asked me and I felt silly because I couldn't answer.

An AppleID is an iTunes account.

I have two iTunes accounts. One was set up for my iPhone; the second was created for my iPad. I just updated my iPhone and it linked my to my second iTunes account instead of y primary. How can I change it back to my primary account?

Sorry, but the only answer is that you can't.

I have 2 itunes accounts. I can no longer use my first one for purchases so I had to start a new one and it will not sync from my new one without deleting everything on my same ipod from my previous account. How do I sync between both accounts?

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 business. I thought I was supposed to have 2 separate itunes accounts. I now have a work ipad and want to only have 1 itunes account that I can use for all 3 devices. How do I cancel 1 account or just combine the 2?

You can, but switching iTunes libraries and store accounts is generally more hassle than it is worth. You can sync each device with selected purchases and if you disable the option to Automatically include new apps, apps purchased on one device won't automatically load onto the other.

I have two itunes accounts. How can I sinc my music that I purchased, from my old account to my new account

I have an old itunes account . I recently got an IPhone which gave me a new Itunes account. How can I get all of the music that I purchased under my old account to transfer to my new account.

Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder

I have multiple itunes accounts... can i sign into all of them and drag music... without having to sync them all?... is that what home sharing is? please help.. i use to be able to get music from any account but now it says im already attached to one!

i use to just get music from any computer i plugged my ipod it... including whatever account... but lately im not allowed ... it says im already synced to another account... diid they change their policy? ... how do i fix this... i want to be connected to three accounts.... is that what home sharing is? will it enable me to get from all three?

When you delete items (movies, music, whatever) from your iTunes library the sync software automatically deletes those items from your iPod. The sync's goal is to make your iPod mirror your iTunes library.
When you use the "only sync checked items" it tells the software that <only> those items are to be on your iPod -it will delete other items from that category.
I don't have a video iPod to test with, but I think your only option is to sync everything you want onto your iPod, and then turn off sync completely, in favor of manual updates.

It doesn't really
What do you mean combine. You can't transfer ownership if that's what you mean, but you can but content from two ID's in the same library and authorise it to play both.

I have an iCloud account that I can access directly (web or iPhone), but my iMac only allows access to MobileMe in System Preferences.

If I log into MobilMe through System Preferences, I get an error stating that my password or ID is incorrect, but if I select 'Learn More' I am redirected to the MobileMe site where I can log in with my Apple ID and password. From there I can select to be directed to iCloud. How do I get the iCloud link into System Preferences?

You don't.
You log onto iCloud.com through Safari/web browser.
