HELP! I have 2 Apple ID's & I just realized the danger of it. And it wasn't my doing

I'm typing to you from my ORIGINAL Apple .me account from "back in the day. I didn't make the 2012 cut off date to move over to iCloud. One day I had some time and contacted Apple. the rep. 'helped me'
At the time I couldn't remember my password. In the end he made me a new account. Then I found my password. He said it wasn't important. That I could just use both and since my original had most of my apps on it just to remember that and download to that one most of the time. Vut that I could use both.
But now I have TWO APPLE .ME accounts (one original with lots of purchased apps that purchase keys, who knows where those are) and another APPLE ME id with other apps ....some purchased also. Only....THIS 2nd one he made my MAIN ICLOUD account! this is the one with less apps, I have iMatch and Find my iPad on it. But I just realized this last night. this has been going on for about 2 years now!
I don't use either .me nor iCloud to send or receive emails, but I need to "merge" I suppose both my .me accounts so I can have all my apps not loose my pictures, movies, etc.
Can this be done?

Sorry, content bought with one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

You can log out of the currently logged in account by taping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and you can then log back in.
If you updated your existing account with a new email address then that shoud 'refresh' it on it
If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can redownload its content and download updates to its apps. You should be able to update an account's email address via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

I have an Apple ipod that gets stuck on the first track of every album, can you help please?

I have an Apple Ipod model MC 688. My problem is that every track played 'sticks' , if I forward it sticks on the next track, just plays the same one over and over.
Very frustrating, can you help please?

"Sticks"
Do you mean the same song repeats? If so, turn off the repeat (1) song feature.

Hi,
This is how App Store app shows now when an app is downloading. If you cannot download anything, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, remove your Apple ID, and set it again. That should work.
Hope that helps.

Cannot connect to Net, have done for last 12 months no problem, I have other apple products that are connecting to the same hub happily. The hub is seen and the signal is strong, it just doesn't connect. I have reset the network settings with no joy.

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.

HT204053 My husband and I have separate apple IDs, how do we use the same iTunes account

My husband and I have separate apple IDs , how do we use the same iTunes account

You don't. Each ID is associated with a separate account. Each of you should maintain a separate user account on your computer so as to maintain separate iTunes Libraries. Do not sync your phone with your husbands account or Apple ID and vice-versa or your data will become inter-mixed or worse - deleted from the phone.
Try to understand that iDevices are intended for use by one person with one Apple ID, one iTunes Library, and one iTunes account. They are not multi-user devices.

How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes? If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

How do i filter the apps with apple id and sync?

Connect the device to the computer.
Open iTunes.

I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

You can't simply change the details.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

HT1202 I have just bought a new I pad 3 and want to give my I pad 2 to a friend. What will I have to do to clear my info on the old I pad and set it up on my new one? How are apple I D effected and passwords cleared?

Any advice welcome.

To clear to old before passing it on, open the Settings app and tap on General (left hand menu). Scroll down and tap on settings, then tap on Erase All Content and Settings.
If you have been synching the iPad to iTunes on a computer, you should also have backed it up. If you havn't backed it, you will want to do so before clearing the settings and use the back up to set up your new iPad.
