I have a MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S and iPad 2. I have two iTunes accounts. I would like to consolidate the accounts into one. Also, I changed the iTunes ID on one of the accounts using iTunes on my MacBook Pro - have an issue will ask via separate questi.

Also, I changed my ID on one of the iTunes accounts on my MacBook Pro. However, when I go to download music or apps on my iPhone, the old account ID keeps popping up and i don't know how to get that to update the account ID- even after synching the phone and laptop.

i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
hence why i have 3 now
hard to believe you cannot combine into one
oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
thanks

I have updated my Mac, Iphone 5 and iPad to iOS 7 successfully - however , the iTunes match will not go from my laptop to my other two devices today_ I bought new songs and created a new play list on my laptop but they don't appear on my iphone or iPad

I have updated my Laptop, iPhone 5 and iPadto the new ios 7, however since this was installed on all these devices, when i Purchase mucic on my laptop and create a playlist, the Itunes match is not showing the new music purchases or new playlists on my iphone and ipad- can someone help me out with this?

I can see a extremely slow download of one at a time of the remaining songs. Very disappointed in iTunes, should not take 24 hours to retrieve songs!!!

My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts, we would like to consolidate to one to save storage space, how do we.

We have separate itunes accounts, one macbook pro and separate phones and ipads. We'd like to consolidate to one itunes. What are the pros and cons, and how do you do it?

You can read how to create Apple IDs here: Set up an Apple ID in iTunes - Apple Support

I keep getting messages to sign into iCloud and sign in with my Apple Id. It happens on all my devices (MacBook Pro, iPhone 5 and Ipad mini. When I enter my password it will say password incorrect. I reset it through email it works for a day then repeats.

How do I rectify this situation, it is really frustrating having to reset my Apple id and icloud password every two days.

It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

Setting up iMac,2 x iPhone 4S and iPad 2 together for two people on same email address/account.

My wife and I share the above hardware.However we seem to continually run into issues of incompatibility as though we are not correctly set up.For example,if I text my wife it goes to iPad and also sends message back to me.She does not receive it.
It appears that we need some assistance on how to arrange our settings correctly.Ideally we don't want two email addresses.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Im not sure if I'm experiencing the exact same symptoms, but it seems to me every time the ipad goes to sleep / left unused for 8-10 minutes, the wifi link between the devices is lost, and i have to reconnect them again.

You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices.

I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network?

I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network? (I can't seem to find a way to see it).
My computer is acting....well, strange. I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't seem right. Menus look skewed. Some applications look like they're trying to disguise themselves as apple (no consistant window formats). Airplay turns on and off on my devices on it's own. And some locked system preference seem to unlock themselves, or won't even grey-out after I lock them.
I have changed my password many times but the issue keeps coming back. I feel like I'm going crazy - but I know that something just isn't right...maybe someone's been hacking me? (I have no idea why...)
Anyway, maybe I could have stemmed from an improper setup of my wireless network.
Any thoughts?
Also, right now, when I just signed into apple communities....
     I have an iCloud email address that is accociated with my 1 and ONLY Apple ID...
     It seems to have been working but...
     When I loged in here it only saw my:
                              OLD MacBookPro
                              3 Old iPods
                              My new MacMini with OS X Sever (Server is currently turned off)
     Could my Apple ID be confusing my MacBook (which I'm currently using) as an old iPod or my old MacBookPro?
     I doesn't even see my iPad (1st generation), or my iPhone 5
     Also, the Mac App store is giving me the option to download Mountain Lion??? I already have version 10.8.3...
Can anyone perform an analysis on my account and computer? I have been to the Apple Store 6 seperate time and the problem was not resolved (after 6 COMPLETE hard drive wipes).
PLEASE HELP!

i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

I have updated to lion. Set up an iCloud so contacts and calendar are shared between iMac iPhone 4s and iPad 1. But iTunes is telling me to update the software on the iPad and iPhone, but it just gets stuck contacting the software server. What should I do

I have updated my iMac to lion so I can use iCloud to share contacts and calendar between iPhone 4s and iPads 1. Somehow it seems to have worked although still not sure how to move stuff in and out of iCloud. iTunes is telling me to update the software on the phone and iPad. When I try to do this it just gets stuck with a box saying connecting to software update server. This has never happened before. I cannot update or restore either the phone or the iPad in iTunes although I have synced the info. What should I do?

Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
There is nothing wrong with the update.
Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

HT1692 I just upgraded my pc to Windows 8. How can I sync my iPhone 5 and iPad using a USB cable with iTunes for Windows 8 ?

How do I sync my iPhone 5 and iPad using iTunes with my new Windows 8 computer? Windows support community implies it's an Apple problem.

Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer

Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer. I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Please HELP!!

I'd first try experimenting with a different browser. If you've been using IE for the download, try Firefox instead (or vice versa).
If no luck there, there's some other suggestions in the following document. (You're not getting the error message, but your problem here falls into the same general class of download trouble.)

I am not receiving my yahoo email on both my IPhone 6 and IPad Air. I tried deleting the account and reinstalling but still not receiving email. I can access email if I go thru Safari to the yahoo mail page.

I am not receiving yahoo email on my IPhone 6 and IPad Air, both are iOS 8.2. I can only access email by going thru Safari to the yahoo mail page. I tried to delete the yahoo account on the phone and reinstalled, to no avail. Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
On the iPhone, tap Settings.
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
Tap Add Account.
Tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
Click Next.
Ensure IMAP is selected.
Enter the following incoming mail server information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL: Yes
Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail.
Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
Tap Next.
The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
That’s all!

I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?

Hello anacc,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

You need to talk with the tax authorities in the countries to which you traveled and that of your home country. We are all end-users liek you and not Apple agents.
