How to create a US account with the same apple ID as my current account
I received a US itunes card given as a gift and it will not redeem in the itunes store since it says I need to have a US itunes account which I do not. Mine is from another country.
I emailed support and they said I could not use the itunes card nor can I transfer the credit to my itunes account for my country(even if it is still in US$). Though they did say that It was possible to create a US account with the same apple ID. I tried it but when I try to register a US account, in the end it says that the apple ID is taken.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
You can't use the same ID because it is possible to change countries on accounts. The other person using your ID is you! However, technically you can only use the store in a country if you are actually present in the country, and you have to have a credit card billed to an address in the country as proof.
I guess the person at Apple isn't familiar with hte details of thir own legal documents, and you would either have to try to change country on your account (which may run into issues) or start a second account in hte other country (which again may not be easy, nor legal).
The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
Find somebody you know in the USA and give them a nice present.

HT204053 can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id
Can i have multiple iCloud accounts with the same Apple id
Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking. -
I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and an iPad, up to date. I have recently changed my mail server but not my email address. My "old" mail account is an Exchange account and I have also set up a "new" Exchange account with the same address but with the new mail server details. When I receive outside, third party emails they are routed correctly to the "new" Exchange account but when I bcc myself or receive other emails from any account with my domain name the emails are routed to my "old" Exchange account. I have changed the default account settings to the "new" Exchange account. Also, if I send myself an email from my laptop, through the new mail service provider, it is routed correctly on my laptop but incorrectly on my iPhone and iPad. It appears as though the Apple products have cached my email address and routing and won't look to pick up the new mail server details. I don't see anything in the mail account settings or contacts that allows me to refresh or clear the cache. The result is I now have mail in 2 accounts. If I can get the misdirected mail from the odl account to the new one I will then make the old account inactive. Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance for your time and ideas,
DAACan you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Using different iCloud accounts with the same apple iD
My mom, brother, and I all use the same apple ID so we can all buy songs off of the same credit card. I have my iPhone and I also just got a Mac. My brother has his iPhone and an iPad and my mom just has her phone. We all listen to different music. Is there a way that I can set up an iCloud account for my phone and Mac so that I just have MY music, not my brother's and mom's? If so, how? I would like to be able to download a song on my phone and have it appear on my iTunes on my Mac.
The iCloud account is not what you are using to purchase and download music. That is for your backup and other things. The Apple ID that you are sharing is for music. If you want your own music, then you need to set up your own Apple ID account and sign into that in the iTunes store.

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message the my device or computer is unable to be verified. How do I verify it when the app store will not allow me to log onto the account even when I use my Apple ID, which works with no problem on itunes. What is up and how do I correct it now!
Check your mac's Serial Number.
Some people have problems with missing serial numbers on their Macs and that's the message you get when this happens.
Click on the Apple at the top left of the screen, open "About this Mac" and click on "More Info". You should see a list with information about your Macbook Air. Check that on the Serial Number field you have your Mac's Serial. If you have "SystemSerial#" written instead then that's your problem.
You can re-enter your serial number if you have a USB CD drive, it's not very straightforward but I can walk you through it if you need it.

How to create twenty different formulars with the same headline?

the red text i would like to write down one time, and find them afterwards as an protected text in different formulars...Yes, that's what I meant. This kind of operation is called a "mail merge". It can be done using the PDF Maker plugin of Acrobat in some versions of Word and Excel, or using a script. I've developed a script that allows you to do it with any plain-text data file, for example.

2 Game Center Accounts on 2 iPads - with the same Apple ID. How to do that?
I really hope someone can help my daughter and I here...
The story: My daughter and I had an iPad each - naturally, since she is a minor, both iPads had the same Apple ID & password. In Game Center, we had separate Accounts (so we wouldn't mess up each others zoos and such), but with the same Apple ID. No problems so far.
Now, some lowlife burglar stole both our iPads... So I have bought new ones, one for me, and one for my daughter. She is thrilled to have her iPad back, and the games she have missed.
But oh no... Whenever she opens a game, the iPad launches "my version" of the game, with my Game Center nickname. I try to log her in with her nickname on her new iPad, but it is impossible - using the same Apple ID and password, it only shows my Game Center account. If I try to manage my account, or create a new with the exact same nickname she used on her old iPad, Game Center refuses to log on, because the "name is already taken" - Well I know it is taken, it is my daughters, but how to get it? It is like I know both the Apple ID, the password and both GCA names - but I have nowhere to type in "Game Center Account name" followed by the password...
I need help. I tell my daughter that there must be a solution, and her progress in her games are not lost; I can see them through MY Game Center account, so they are not deleted - but how to enter her part of the account is beyond my knowledge, so please, any ideas are welcome. You have the chance to make a little girl VERY happy :)On the ipad that you wish to change the ID:
You can Erase all content and settings - that returns it to the "out of box" condition.
OR
Settings - iCloud - Delete account (It will ask if you want to keep contacts, calendars etc).
Settings - Messages - Tap AppleID - Sign out
Settings - Facetime - Tap AppleID - Sign out
Settings - iTunes and App store, tap apple ID, sign out. -
I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?
Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone. -
I recently encountered a problem with both my account, for some reason it wouldn't accept my new password. And this was about the fith time I'd had to change it! I even wrote it down to ensure I wasn't mistyping it. But for some reaon it wasn't letting me log in form my phone or from my ipad. So I tried to reset it once again. However when I visited the website and searched for my username, it came back saying my 'account name doesn't exist!' I tried again and again but nothing. I thought maybe it would fix itself if I created a new account with the same details, so I did. But now none of my past purchases or my wishlist are showing up - and all my details are exactly the same! I've tried logging in using the old passwrd for my 'other' account but it's not working. And I tried searching for it again to reset the passwrod but it only resets this NEW account.

I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.
Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Cheers,

I forgot my digital signature password. How do I create a new one with the same email.
I can not remember my digital signature password. I've attempted to create a new one with the same email address. The message I receive is that i already have a digital signature with that email. I would like to use the same email address.
You probably mean that you forgot your digital certificate password and I presume that this is a self-signed certificate that you yourself created, not a certificate that you received from a Certificate Authority (CA). If this is true then you can create a new self-signed digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak) the same way you created the first one: In Acrobat XI it is Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Identities&Trusted Certificates->More. Then click on "Add ID" button and follow the prompts. You can create as many self-signed certificates with the same credentials (name, email, etc.) as you wish. You'd have to figure out how to distinguish them, though.
