How do I use my .me account on my itunes?

I have been using Gmail for a long time and I used this email to purchase all my iTunes stuff. I know I've spent hundreds and I wouldn't be surprised if I spent thousands.
I would like to change my iTunes email to my apple .me address but it gives me an error and apple has been unhelpful.
Basically the .me seems to have created an itunes account itself and it tells me I can't change it because the .me is a separate itunes account. I have not purchased anything off of it and I want my apple login to be .me not gmail.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Well I'm feeling stupid because there's still something wrong here and now I'm not even sure what it is anymore.  My iCloud account had to be set up under @mac.com because MobileMe was set up on @aol.com.
I have tried deleting iCloud and re-entering it under @aol and it tells me "This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified.  Change your Apple ID's email address at appleid.apple.com to sign in to MobileMe."  If I go there I get instructions for changing my Apple ID password -- not e-mail address.  Plus, I'm no longer a MobileMe subscriber and don't care about signing into it.  Isn't there ANY WAY to get iCloud and iTunes under the same ID?
Or are you saying it doesn't matter?

  • How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

    how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?  can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

    Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library.  That way each iPod can have it own contents.

  • How can I use multiple icloud Accounts with Fotos?

    Hello.
    Yesterday, my wife and I started using the new App "Fotos" on OSX and iOS.
    What I can't figure out, and where I would like to get some insight and help, is how we should use our icloud Accounts.
    How it is right now:
    - Wife (MacBook and iPhone)
    Has her own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud-Account (18GB free).
    - Husband (MacBook, Mac Mini and iPhone and iPad)
    Has his own icloud-Account ([email protected]) for Backup (iOS) and Fotosync, Keychainsync, Bookmarks. 20GB iCloud Account (10 GB free).
    - Husband has about 400 GB of Photos from over 10 Years on Mac Mini
    How I want it to be:
    - Husband
    upgrades to at least the 500GB Account, to use for all 400GB of Photos and Backup, Keychainsync, Bookmarks.
    - Wife
    Has her own Account ([email protected]) for Keychain and Bookmark, but uses [email protected] on MacBook and iPhone for Backup an Fotosync, so that all Photos are stored in a single one family "container". All Photos in one Place without being able to forget to put them there.
    I don't see, how I can accomplish that, since only one "real" icloud account seems to be possible in iOS, so that if i put my account in her iPhone I would get the Photo and Backup I want, but she would not be able to sync her own bookmarks an keychain any more.
    Any thought on how to resolve this?
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks for your ideas,
    thomas

    Yes, you could have multiple iCloud accounts for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, and Find My iPhone, but only one primary iCloud account for Photo Stream, Documents & Data, and Storage & Backup.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

    how can i use another icloud account in my iphone? can i pay one?? where?
    My phone has reached the maximum number of free accounts activated where can I buy one to use?

    You can't buy another one.  You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

  • How do I use a new account to download a new trial???

    How do I use a new account to download a new trial???

    The account plays no role in downloading a trial.  Just download the trial.  If you mean you are trying to download a second copy of a trial on the same system that you previously ran the trial on then that will not work - one trial per system is the limit.

  • How can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    how can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.

  • How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

    unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • How Do I use my External Drive for my iTunes Library without adding anything to my Mac's HD?

    I have a new MBP and have transferred all of my music off my old pc (250+ gigs) to a Lacie 1TB thunderbolt external drive.  How do I use the external as my primary itunes library with out using any of my Mac's HD?  I'm new to mac so I have a few more questions...
    1. The initial question above
    2. will this work or will there be extra steps every time I disconnect and connect the external (other than ejecting)?
    3. Will I be able to access it remotely / home sharing?
    4.  Would this work with itunes match?
    Thanks All  !!!

    I haven't set up Time Machine yet because it wants me to completely format my external hard drive, and it seems to want to use it for TM backups exclusively?
    However, I would also like to use it to store stuff that I don't want to keep on my computer, eg tons of photos, videos, stuff from my sister's computer, etc.
    Is there a way to do Time Machine but also use the external hard drive for storage? I don't mind temporarily copying the photos etc that are on there to my computer while I format, so that's not the issue. I just don't want my EHD rendered completely useless to everything else.
    Thanks!!!
    There are several ways to do exactly this.
    If you partition the external drive, you can use one partition for TM and the other for anything else.
    Even if you do not partition the drive, you can safely store other data in folders on the drive. Just to not use the folder that TM creates for anything. And it's best not to put files directly on the drive, in my opinion, but use folders for storage.
    Just remember that whatever you put on the drive takes up room from TM and when the drive gets nearly full, TM will start automatically deleting older files from it's own folder.
    I have my Tiger clone on my external TM drive in a separate partition and everything works fine.

  • How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • After complete reset of iPod after lockout,  I cannot retrieve old gamecenter ID.  how can I use my old account for gamecenter now that we have had to create a new username?

    We had to create a new username for gamecenter using the same apple ID.  We want to use the old gamecenter account....we have purchased in-app items for those games and now have no access to that account.  How can I fix this?  Or am I just out of luck and start over with the new username.....

    You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    To recovery use of that account:
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
    If not successful, contact iTunes
