How can I combine and/or consolidate all my Apple ID info?

I have an iTunes Account for the Apps/Music then I have other accounts too - App Store, Apple email address, iCloud syncing, Support Profile and Apple Communities too.  I have one iMac and two iOS (a 4S and iPad Mini wi-fi only) .  I am going crazy with most all the Apple ID portions because I'm doing something wrong...but here is all that I want:
iMac, iPhone, and iPad on ONE Apple ID
Contacts from multiple email accounts to be updated on the three devices and the website
The least number of accounts and IDs and Apple required email addresses for alternate emails, notifications, etc.  Right now I'm using some that I had to create because of an association to an Apple ID already.
Even this ID has me logging in with a Yahoo account but Google is where I want it. 
Thanks for any ideass and feel free to ask any questions to clarify....

You can't change an @me.com email address.  However, you can create an @icloud.com alias email address to use that will deliver email to your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a).  Just be aware that you can't later use the alias address to create a new iCloud account, or move it to another account.

  • How can I copy and paste quoted emails from Apple Mail v4.5 into another application?

    Hi,
    Having just moved from Entourage to Apple Mail on an Exchange back-end, everything is running smoothly except for one thing - when I copy emails that include quotes from replies (i.e. those coloured vertical lines down the left of the message) and paste them into other applications (Word, TextEdit, etc.) these indentations are not preserved, and instead each line starts at the left margin. This makes following interleaved conversations in the pasted document very difficult. It's as though Mail allows me to copy the view onto the message, rather than the source of the message (I believe that Mail simply reinterprets the '>' quote indentations for presentation, but retains these in the stored message).
    How can I restore copying of quote indentation in Apple Mail for pasting in other documents?

    You will need Pages or a sjmilar word processing program for this, TextEdit doesn't appear to be capable. Using Pages:
    Open your message. From the 'View' Menu choose "Message>Raw Source'.
    Copy the body of the message.
    Paste into a Pages Word Processing blank template.
    Open Find, click 'Advanced'.
    Set 'Find' to '>' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to tab (select from the 'Insert' drop-down menu)
    Click 'Replace All'.
    Set 'Find' to '=20' (no quotes)
    Set 'Replace' to a single space.
    Click 'Replace all'.
    Obviously this will lose the colours which identify the level of quotes but you will have the indentation.

  • I have around 400 tabs that I have bookmarked in the Tab bar, below the Browser search bar. How can I effectively and efficiently consolidate these tabs.

    I am running Firefox 4.0 for desktop, running Windows XP 32bit.
    I have looked at putting all the similar tabs into a bookmark folder and saving it but this would require me to individually open up all my tabs, from which I could start to organise them better. Is there a more efficient and effective way of solving my problem? If I have to follow this method, will deleting the tabs after they've been put into bookmark folders, affect the storage of these tabs?
    Thanks.

    You can use "Bookmark All Tabs" to place those tabs in one bookmarks folder.
    You can open all links in a folder by middle-clicking this folder.
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

  • How can my fiance and I both use our apple IDs on one ipad?

    Also if you download any past purchases from an account and/or turn on automatic downloads for it then you will tie the iPad to that account for 90 days (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627)
    You are incorrect regarding automatic downloads.  I've had multiple IDs on both my original iPad for over two years and my iPod Touch G4 for a year.  I've have had automatic downloads turned on for music, apps and books on both devices and I've never had a problem.  My auto-download is tied to the ID that I am trying to eventually migrate to as my only one.
    This is probably academic because, reading a bit between the lines, I don't think that the OP would care about automatic downloads.
    This seems to be selective in how this works and by that I mean that sometimes users are locked out of their own account when they download content from another ID.
    I was in a discussion yesterday where a user used his partner's ID on his iPad in order to download a book for him. After he downloaded the book to his iPad using his partner's ID, he was locked out of his own ID.
    I referred the OP to the iTunes Associated Devices kb article that King Penguin referenced. I have no idea if this is the reason, but sometimes I wonder that because you have the same address and I assume the same credit card associated to both of your ID's - that this does not apply to you.
    The bottom line is that this does lock some users out of their own ID's. I've seen it happen before - and more than a few times. I just can't figure out definitively when and why it actually does happen to a particular user.
    Plus - why would Apple warn users about it if there wasn't any truth to it.

  • How can I find and print a bill from Apple site?

    Hi
    I need to get and print the invoice of my macbook purchase. It's a MacBook Pro I bought in 2008 and as It is an old purchase it makes it quite difficult to find the invoice.
    Thank you for help.

    If Apple doesn't keep invoices that old (and I wouldn't expect them to), and you didn't keep it either, there's probably no way to get it.  What do you need from the invoice?  Note that if you just need the serial number, and don't have the machine available, you can view that by logging in here:
    https://supportprofile.apple.com
    It's possible such an old machine might not be listed there, though.

    Hello Halfback71,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Best of luck,

  • A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing.  How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

    Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed.  How can I combine them to make one album?

    First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply.  I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved.  Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue!  I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info".  However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album.  I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library.  I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can.  Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this.  Thanks so much for your patience!

  • I bought 26 new songs under my work e-mail and now i can't copy them to my i-pod because it has another music library on it. How can i combine both user id's to the same purchased account

    I have 2 user id's with apple, i bought 26 songs from my laptop recently using my work e-mail. I plug my i-pod to sync it and it says that my i-pod is tuned with another library. i don't want to erase the songs I have already because they are about 760 and the new ones are 26 only. how can I combine both user id's and consolidate all the music into one user id?
    everytime i try to do something it asks me to reset the password. I have done it already 6 times.
    there is no phone # to call.
    Thanks

    Alright, please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
    Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here: http://appleid.apple.com
    Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
    After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
    Now, everything should working properly again.

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

  • I have three different ipods with music on them and have had to replace our computer as it was in a fire. How can we combine the ipods into one ipod.

    We had to replace our computer due to a fire and lost many of the fiels which were on them. Many were music files for the ipods, we have thre. Also, do not have ID's and passwords to the iTunes store.
    How can we combine the information so that they are all in each one or at least compbine everything into one ipod?

    Just so you know the method suggested by Nelsonleee will cost your $29.95 USD, Yamipod is free.

  • How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking, etc accessed with combinations of letters and functional keys prior to Snow Leopard be achieved in Snow Leopard?

    How can the symbol and non-English diacritical marking/punctuation pallet, available in pre-Snow Leopard OSes with various combinations of letter or number keys and functional keys, be accessed in Snow Leopard?  Those pre-Snow Leopard versions worked on the fly as one was making text in any pedestrian application and its native font (Mail, Text Edit, for example).  One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font preferences, etc.

    > One didn't need to dig around in font libraries, change font
    > preferences, etc.
    It hasn't worked like that since the Early Chalcolithic (ie, System 7 or thereabouts).
    You've already got plenty of answers. Briefly (and grossly oversimplified),
    - Mac OS X conforms to a standard known as Unicode; in its current incarnation, it defines over 100k characters.
    - A keypress is translated into a character according to the current keyboard layout.
    - The graphic representation of a character (ie, glyph), is provided by the current font.
    - If a font lacks a glyph for the requested character, either another font will be automatically chosen (Mac OS X text engine), or some form of feedback (empty box, question mark, etc) will be used.
    - To inspect the actual key codes, use a utility such as Key Codes.
    - To inspect the current keyboard layout, invoke Keyboard Viewer.
    - To inspect the full complement of glyphs of a font, invoke Character Viewer (also accessed with the Special Characters command).
    (Remember that both these utilities are resizable and zoomable -- you can enlarge them to a comfortable viewing size, then zoom out to see more of the screen for your original task.)
    - For a more detailed look, use a utility such as UnicodeChecker.
    - The default keyboard layout depends on your Mac OS X localisation.
    (Keep in mind that there's no need to stick with the default layout; choose whichever one makes sense to you, given your language, habits, and proclivities. Mac OS X comes bundled with quite a few, including some obviously designed for the huddled masses of refugees from the Dark Side, who, in their wretched ignorance, have the unmitigated gall of labelling our native ways "really uncomfortable". Oh well, this, too, shall pass.
    If none of the supplied keyboard layouts fits your needs -- if, for instance, you write your emails in Etruscan -- go out on the 'net, you'll find quite a few. Or write your own with Ukulele, it's not really all that difficult.)
    - Use Keyboard Viewer to familiarise yourself with the current layout and to enter the odd character; but, to be proficient, you should learn your layout to the point that KV is no longer needed.
    - Use Character Viewer to enter the odd character not available in the current keyboard layout.
    Neither Keyboard Viewer nor Character Viewer are effective tools for more extensive needs, eg, for writing and editing bilingual or multilingual texts. In such a case, you should enable the respective keyboard layouts and switch between them with a keyboard shortcut.
    A few interesting layouts bundled with Mac OS X have already been mentioned. Let me add three.
    - Dvorak: several layouts based on the Dvorak keyboard. It is claimed that the latter is more productive and lessens RSI risk.
    - US Extended: based on QWERTY, it offers a more extensive set of diacritics (eg, caron, breve) via dead keys.
    - Unicode Hex Input: also based QWERTY, it allows input by Unicode codepoint (in hexadecimal), so it's the most extensive layout of all; eg, to enter the character "Parenthesized Number Twelve" (U+247F), hold down Option, type "247f", release Option.
