How to change apple ID for itunes store

I recently set up a mobile me account and wanted to use this as my main apple ID, including itunes account. When I tried to change it in my itunes account it gave me a warning that the apple ID already existed, of course it does as Its mine! So appear to be unable to change the apple ID on my itunes account? Does anybody have a solution, I could open a new one but would lose my previous history etc..
I have contacted apple itunes support but they directed me back to mobile me support? So unable to resolve...

There is currently no solution that I can find, so far. It's a pain. I have the same problem as you. I had an apple ID that I used with Itunes, warranties etc... When I got my mobile me account it automatically created another ID.
So far there is no way to merge the two IDs.
May I suggest that you contact Apple Customer support and request that Apple make merging of Apple IDs available for those of us who want to do that.

    how to change apple id for icloud?

    From the knowledgeable Roger Wilmut:
    You can't change the primary email address, the one you created when you opened an iCloud account (or if you migrated from MobileMe the address you log in with) other than by opening a completely new account.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    However you can create three 'email aliases' - these are extra addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.

    It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one, since these can be easily changed should you get spammed.

  • How I change the icon for iTunes songs?

    When I drag iTunes songs onto my desktop the icon is white with a gray iTunes icon. How can change this icon for all of my iTunes songs?

    Thanks Patrick. I used Control-Click on the actual audio file on my desktop opened the Show View Options menu and turned off the icon preview option. That changed my icons from gray with a white background to red with a white background which is exactly what I wanted.  You pointed me in the right direction. Appreciate it.

  • How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

    I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

    Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
    I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???

  • How to change apple id for app updates

    The user id that displays on my ipod is correct on the settings menu but when I try to update my apps, the apple id that displays (and wants a password) is one that I no longer use.  How can I change the apple id for this one function to my current correct one?  I've tried poking around all the settings and can't find where to change it.  Once it is changed, I can then use my regular password.   Thanks!

    Hi jabsykes,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.

  • Different Apple IDs for iTunes Store and iCloud

    I am a MobileMe subscriber and need to switch to iCloud soon and I have a question about Music syncing, specifically about Purchased Music, not the Match subscription kind.
    My Apple ID for the iTunes Store is not the same as my MobileMe / iCloud Apple ID.
    Given the difference in IDs, will my Purchased from iTunes music successfully sync over all devices via iCloud? Or will iCloud not recognize my other (iTunes) ID?
    Thank you

    Or am I missing an essential point which is that even on iOS devices a person can sign into iCloud and iTunes in the Cloud separately?
    Yes: signing into the iTunes Store is a separate issue from signing into iCloud. I quote:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    When you first set up your iOS 5 device, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    In Settings > Store, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
    Mac:
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) iniTunes > iTunes Store
