How do I use 1 Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes Purchases?

Hey Guys and Gals,
I would like to use 1 Apple ID instead of 2.  I know that Apple ID's cannot be merged.
My original solution was to change my Apple ID, which is a Yahoo address to an iCloud address.  However, you cannot do this since it is an Apple domain.  So what I have done is put all I could on the Yahoo one.  The only thing is I still need iCloud to do Notes.
Why does Apple appear to use 1 username to setup your whole Mac or iOS device, but then you are required to have always two to get all functionality.  Of course there is nothing saying you need to, but I don't see a way around this.

This came up when I tried to enable Notes.  This may be the solution to my problem.  icloud / me won't work when you change from @yahoo to one of those domains.  Specifically it tells you no to use a Apple owned domain so I don't know.

  • How to manage different apple id's for icloud and itunes purchases and game center etc. ?

    Hi
    Myself and my brother have been sharing the same apple id for all the itunes purchases. We both have iphone 4. Since the introduction of icloud, we are little confused about the id managing process. Yesterday, we both updated our iOS to iOS 5. And, just after installing iOS 5, we were asked to enter apple id and password. We both entered the same id and password. Now both are iphones have overlapping contacts and other stuff.
    Now, we have deciced that we want to make separate apple id's for ourselves i.e we want different apple id's for our iclouds (plus game center) and same apple id's for all our itunes purchases (if we are allowed to do that).
    So now we have no idea how to do this after once entering the same id during iOS 5 installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you're wanting to share content between multiple apple ids in the family I would suggest to use iTunes match.

  • Using Touch ID for App store when you have seperate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

    My wife and I each have a new iPhone 5S.  We share the same Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.
    In addition, we each have our own unique Apple IDs for iCloud.  This enables us to use iMessage to text to each other.
    Can the iPhone 5S be setup to use the Touch ID for iTunes and App store purchases when there are separate iCloud and iTunes ID on the same phone?
    Currently, I can unlock my phone using the Touch ID, but the App store requests me to type the password to my wife's and my shared Apple ID whenever I wish to buy an app.  I am not given the option to use the Touch ID.
    I do have both the iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store set to "on" here: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID
    How can I use my current setup so I can approve App Store purchases with the Touch ID?

    This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app.  It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.

  • Consistently being prompted to enter Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes

    Hi, I have an iPhone 4 and an iPod touch 5th gen. I'm consistently being asked to prompted to enter my password for my Apple ID for either iTunes or iCloud. I never had this issues until I updates to iOS 7.0.2 on my iPhone. I have a different apple id for the iCloud on my iPod and it doesn't prompt me for that one just for the apple id password of the one I use for iTunes and iCloud on my phone. Any insights?

  • Why can't I have the same apple ID for iCloud and iTunes?

    After down loading the latest upgrade on my 5s, the iCloud Apple ID (which is an email address I don't use) keeps asking me for a password that I don't have.  When I change it to a new password (I've done it 4 times) it keeps going back to the password is incorrect.  I've tried to restore the phone to factory settings and that still doesn't work. I have no problem with my Itunes ID or password so I don't know how to change the iCloud ID or password so it can be the same ID and password for iTunes.  Can someone help me bc I'm about to go crazy!

    I'm not entirely clear about which Apple ID you are describing. Is this the ID for Settings/iCloud? You say it isn't an email you use. But was it an email you ever used? Or is it one you don't recognize? If you used it in the past you can reset your Apple ID to it temporarily (https://appleid.apple.com), log out, then log back in with the new one. If you forgot the password you can attempt to find it at https://iforgot.apple.com. As a fallback you can contact Apple Account Security at Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support.
    If you are not the first owner of the phone and the Apple ID is NOT one that you have ever used the phone is Activation Locked to the previous owner, and only the previous owner can unlock it.

    Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

    As randers4 says, use separate AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage accounts.  You cannot "share iCloud" and have separate mail, messaging and facetime.  To get those, you need to use separate AppleIDs to each create your own iCloud account and your own iMessage account.
    You can share apps and other purchased content by having a common AppleID used in the iTunes and App store.

  • How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?

    I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?

    If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.
