HT4796 how can i merge my pc itunes account with my macbook itunes

I wanna use the migration assisstant but i want it to be on my main mac profile, the migration thing says it will create a  new user account (totally effin lame). My question is whats the quickest and easiest way to get my itunes over. I have 45 gb of music, 8 gb of photos, 2 gb of videos and about 6 gb of apps. I have a lot of stuff so i know it will take a while. Im considering using my dads passport harddrive and making a copy then copying it over to the macbook. However I have heard formatting is an issue when going form pc to mac. Blahhh I just want all my data on my mac, on my profile. Thanks a lot if you could help me with this

Thanks for the feedback Ed.
It was 18 months ago now that I moved over so inevitably I've setup a UK iTunes.
With iCloud I now have 3 accounts - UK, Australia and @me.com!
Surely there is a way to combine all three and have one universal password?

    How can I merge my two iCloud accounts information

    Apple doesn't provide a direct merge operation but you can connect in one account, disconnect but keep the data on the device, then connect with the other account and merge the data.
    Details...
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, log into the other iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the first account's photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the other account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

  • Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

    Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

    Are the usernames the same - e.g. is it [email protected] and [email protected] or is it [email protected] and [email protected]?
    If the former, they are the same thing, part of the same account, and deliver into the same inbox.
    If they are different then either
    a) One of them is an 'alias' on the same account and delivers into the same inbox, or
    b) You have two separate iCloud accounts.
    In the latter case you cannot move an address from one account to another; in the other cases they are already 'merged'.

  • How can I merge an AOL iTunes files and new(different) iTunes files?

    I used to have an AOL iTunes account. I now have an iTunes account and can no longer access these files purchased under AOL iTunes account. How can I merge these accounts or even access the files under the AOL iTunes account? In addition, I can no longer access the old AOL iTunes account name.
    When I try to play any of these files, I am asked to authorize the computer with the AOL iTunes account name and it does not accept the information.

    There is no way to link or merge Apple IDs.

  • How can I merge two different user accounts without loosing stuff

    I have several Apple products and long ago set up two separate Apple accounts by accident.  Now I want to merge the two into one, but be sure not to loose any pictures, etc. that may be stored with one or the other.  Is there a way to do this?

    Sorry, no. You can't merge or delete Apple ID's.

  • How can I make a Nokia Messeging account with a p...

    I've been stuck for over 2 hours trying to get my e72 to setup messgeging but when I go through the wizard and enter in my email adress Gmail and Yahoo after password I get put back to the setup process, and I tried adding a pop it took it but then it wouldn't work.
    I tried to log into email.nokia.com/account/home.action  but non of my email address passwords worked.  I then created an ovi mail account verified it all and that won't work on email.nokia.com/account/home.action I have also tried the pop address that went in bust doesn't send a receive and still no go. How can I create a nokia messeging acount online without the PHONE? then link it to my phone and addresses.
    This should be a 4 step process and it's taking a long time and still no go.
    Does any one know how to get past this area?
    I am forcced to return this Brand New 272 if I can't get this messeging working ASAP.
    You would expect that an E-Series phone made to E-mail would woudl have a flawless E-mail setup process, this is a HUGE strike against Nokia if this their competition has a such a superior interface and support process. 
    Thanks

    You could, or if you want to keep the current account you could go into your account settings and change the default email address to something else, then you will be free to use the email you want for another account. It's up to you.
