How to sync music bought with an old apple id with a mobile me icloud

I migrated from mobile me to icloud using my mobile me account (which is different to my itunes apple id account) and I can sync pictures, contacts and ical via the cloud to my mac, iphone and ipad using the mobile me @me.com id. All devices are signed in with the mobile me @me.com log in.
However, my purchased music won't sync when i buy it with my itunes apple id. Do I have to re-sign into icloud using my old apple id to sync it all? If so what happens to pictures and ical.
I started off by creating an account using my old apple id on the iphone (which prompted me to create an entirely new me.com address), but I changed it to the @me.com log in and deleted it from the iphone because it would not sync pictures etc.
I think I did something wrong at he very start due to the confusing prompt for an apple id when creating the original icloud account.
Any help appreciated

You should continue to use your itunes account ID for iTunes and your iCloud ID for syncing services such as calendar et al.
If you want your iYunes purchases to download to all your devices, check automatic downloads in settings > store on you iOS devices and iTunes preferences > Store in iTunes on your mac/PC.

How to sync music on my computer to ipad2 if I am already using iCloud.

I have loads of music in iTunes on my computer that I imported from my CD collection. I normally sync my ipad2 via iCloud but wanted to connect it to my pc and sync/add my music collection to the ipad2. I got a warning that said if I attempted this, it would wipe out everything from my ipad2 and replace it with my computer based iTunes content. How do I bring my legitimate music collection over to my ipad2 which I purchased about four months ago? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I am fairly new to Apple. I just bought this ipad2 and an iphone4s, so it's been a learning curve.

why not just connect it and set it to sync music ?
unless you pay for match then syncing apps movies and music to the computer have nothing to do with the sync to icloud

How do I authorize my new computer to play purchases from an old computer with an old apple ID with a forgotten password

I have an old Apple ID/e-mail on my old laptop with a password that I no longer remember and can't reset. How can I change this so that I can listen to my old purchases on my new computer with new apple ID.

You need to contact Apple. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

For several reasons I had to reinstall my PC but was not able to off-load data before the reinstall.
How do I now sync the music I purchased from my iPod to iTunes?

I have tried to use the 'transfer purchased music' but it is as if it has already replicated the music once and then it's not possible anymore.
I have bought music afterwards and that works fine.

I want to dl music deom 2 different itunes accounts how do i do this or can I!I could with my old apple ipod?

I want to dl music from 2 different itunes accounts how do i do this or can I!I could with my old apple ipod but when I try do it wit this one the only option is to erase and sync or cancel?

That's not true. It's one computer at a time, has nothing to do with accounts. If the computer is authorized for both accounts & the music is in the same iTunes library, it will sync just fine to an iPhone.

How to sync music and video from iPhone4 with iPad mini?

I have music and video on my iPhone4 and I just got my iPad mini yesterday. Does anyone know how to sync music and video between two devices?

Apple doesn't enable you to copy certain items from your iPhone to your computer e.g.
- songs that have not been bought in the iTunes store
- photos from photo album (only allows photos transferred from camera roll)
This is frustrating if you have lost these items on your computer - e.g. accidental deletion, hard disk failure.
Its not that its not possible - just that the functionality is not included in iTunes. Its an example of Apple prioritising revenues over customer experience - hey they can do what they want with their reputation but should take care not to frustrate customers too much.
However the Senuti (free) and PhoneView ($20) allows you to transfer items either way between computer and iPhone. Ive tried both and they work great. These are for OS X and there are many other applications available online for both Windows/Mac that allow you to treat the iPhone as just a plugged in disk too. You can try iPod Photo Liberator (Mac & Windows) iPodCopy (Mac and Windows Versions) Keith's iPod Photo Reader (Mac only).
Good luck

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

Only the Apple ID used to buy an app can update an app. Apple does not merge Apple IDs and Apple does not transfer content biught with one ID to another ID.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Why exactly do you care if it is registered?

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

How do i figure out which email is associated with an old apple id

I have songs from an old ipod that I no longer know the apple ID password to. I now have an iphone and a new laptop that I want to make sure I can listen to all my music on. The birthdate doesn't match with my old apple ID and I havve no idea what email address the link is sent to. Help!!

If you’re the device’s original owner, take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store. If not, you’ll need to contact either the person who is or the one who set the lock.
