HT204053 I had a mobile me account and now i have two apple id's how do i make it just one?

When I signed up for icloud I was told that i could just use my mobile me account. The problem was that my mobile me account creates an address for me and now that address is my icloud id. In addition to that my itunes store address is different but it is also an icloud id, but i want just one id. is there any way i can merge the two?

The same thing happened to me because I had an Apple ID that was not an email address under which I had made all my purchases and a me.com address that I initially used to set up my iCloud account. If you want to get all your purchases from the Cloud, then you need to do a couple of things: first, change the Apple ID that you purchased all your stuff under to be an email address. You can do that yourself by going to the page where you change your Apple ID. I think it's applied.apple.com but if that's not it, just search for "My Apple ID" in the search box on the support page. Sign in with your existing ID -- the one that is not an e-mail address -- and change it to an e-mail address. Be sure to remember this Apple ID. Then create your iCloud account using this Apple ID. You should be able to get all your stuff to download using this account.
The problem with this is now you will NOT have an iCloud account associated with your MobileMe account. If you're OK with that, you're good to go. I think you still have time to manually download all your stuff from MobileMe.
Apple phone support walked me through this, so if my instructions are confusing you can call them and get them to walk you through it too. It's a common problem.

HT204053 i have two apple id's how do i convert them to one id

i have two apple id's and how do i convert one into another and get rid of the other?

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I just got a new computer and didn't do Migration Assistant until after I had already created an account. Now I have two users on my computer and want to merge all of the data into one single user. Thanks!

I am extremely frustrated by this! I have two users now...one with a little bit of new data and the other with all of my important data. I want to be one person!!

Please do a search, Google or on this forum. This question is asked weekly if not daily and you willl find many threads with all the info needed to fix this problem.

I started an account on iTunes when iPod first came available. Bought several iPods in that time. Eventually I changed my email address and continued to buy music and games. Now I have 2 Apple ID. How can I get everything on one ID?

I have 2 Apple ID. One old on yahoo I don't use, and another on gmail I use regularly. How can I drop the yahoo Apple ID while still keeping all music and other apps? I want everything on my latest apple devices and want to do so with just one account, Apple ID and password..

-The specific point:
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

Thank youuuu

Hello delpo,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to locate my music in iTunes. I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

I brought my itunes library onto a mac from a windows machine and now i have two separate libraries. How can I merge them?

I moved to Mac from a Windows machine where I had downloaded all of my CDs into iTunes. When I got my Mac it only put my purchased items into my library. So I merged my windows library and it created a whole new user account with that on it. I now have two libraries and can only sync music with one account or I lose all of my imported CDs. Help! How do I merge them.

The easiest way is to get both computers on your home network and copy the files over the network. It's easier than you think
Check this earlier thread:
[How do I move my itunes library to new computer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7937172&#7937172]
That thread mentions Target Disk Mode, which won't help moving from a PC to a Mac. But you can use file sharing to copy the files.
As the articles all say: don't forget to de-authorize your PC before you get rid of it.

How can I edit external e-mails accounts configurations I had on Mobile Me mail and now on iCloud?

how can I edit external e-mails accounts configurations I had on Mobile Me mail and now are
on iCloud?

Thanks for the answer, but the external POP accounts I had in my MobileMe are working in my iCloud! I receive all the e-mails that are directed to those POP accounts, in my iCloud e-mail, since I migrated from Mobileme to iCloud. So, iCloud accepts external accounts, but i doesn't allow us to edit new configurations or to send e-mails using Pop Accounts through it. Very weird. Does anybody have a solution?

You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

HT1918 I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

I just ran migration assistant, and now I have two accounts on my new iMac...how do I merge my iPhoto libraries?

I just ran migration assistant, and now I have two accounts on my new iMac...how do I merge my iPhoto libraries? Is there anyway to do it without using an external hard drive?

Yes there is.
1: Log out and into the account you later want to remove.
2: Open your Pictures folder and look for the iPhoto Library.
3: Right or control click on it, a menu appears and choose the option "Show Package Contents", it's really a folder.
4: Find the folder called "Originals", select it and use the Finder menu to Duplicate it.
5: Move the Copy of Originals to the Desktop. Close the window.
6: From the Finder menu, select Go Computer.
7: A window appears with your boot drive, double click it and on the Users folder inside.
8: Select the OTHER users folder and open the folder called Public, inside is a folder called "DropBox"
9: Drag the Copy of Originals to that DropBox folder, it will copy it.
10. Log out and into the other account and access the DropBox folder, your files can then be imported into that iPhoto user Library from within the program itself.

I downloaded new os for my daughter's ipod touch. I remember during setup after that I checked off my husband's email account and now she is receiving his texts. How do I fix this. The "icloud"/ "messages" buttons are both greyed out under settings

Installed OSX 10.6.8 on iMac and now I have two icons in my dock for time machine and can't access either one. I don't think it is backing up to time capsule either. Anyone else have this issue?

I installed OSX 10.6.8 on iMac and now I have two icons for time machine in my dock. When I try to access either one the wheel goes round and round. I seem to have lost all back ups that were on Time Capsule. Not sure how to check or what to do. Thanks.

See what happens if you select the TM icon in your menubar, and select Enter Time Machine there.
If that doesn't help, try the things in #E4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting
