I have a separate apple id for itunes and imessenger and facetime can i merge both and just use one?

I created a yahoo apple id as my main account on my macbook pro but then after a year it had a problem with signing in into imessenger and facetime on both my iphone and ipad so i read a solution from a thread that i need to create another id but it will be a different one and will only be used for my imessenger and facetime. When I tried associating my gmail (one i used for imessenger & facetime), I can't add it on my yahoo apple id account as it is an alternative email add. I just want to use one apple id for everything (icloud, itunes, imessenger and facetime) is there a way to do this? help me please.... thanks!

  • HT204074 I have a family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps and then two iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match?

    I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps and then two new iPhone 5s each which use a personal Apple ID for email and the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I use iTunes Match on the iPhones given there are two Apple IDs "loaded" on the iPhone?

  • My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac.  We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes.  How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

    My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac.  We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes.  How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

  • I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

    I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • I have the wrong apple ID on my iPhone 4 for face time and iCloud.  I have the right apple id for iTunes store.  How can I can face time and iCloud apple id?

    I have the wrong apple ID on my iPhone 4 for face time and iCloud. It has my husband's ID because he synced it to his one time.  I do my apple id for iTunes store.  How can I can face time and iCloud apple id?

    iCloud:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account then lock in with your Apple ID.
    FaceTime:
    Switch Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime OFF and switch back on with your Apple ID.

  • Different Apple IDs for iTunes and iCloud

    As a legacy from MobileMe,  I have one Apple ID for iTunes (around 10 years old) that has all of my purchases, and another for iCloud (created later as a requirement of MobileMe) that has all the email, syncing, etc.  Apparently now I can't use Family Sharing because I am signed into iTunes and iCloud with different Apple IDs.
    This has caused other issues as well for years, and I would like to once and for all have one Apple ID for both iTunes and iCloud.  What will happen if I start signing into iCloud with my original iTunes Apple ID?  I'm assuming I will lose the following:
    -- Any email in the cloud
    -- All calendar info
    -- All notes
    Am I correct?
    Anything else I would lose?
    Any way to avoid losing all this?
    Is there a better way to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

  • HT5622 I want to get rid of multiple Apple IDs and just use one. How do I do this?

    I have numerous Apple IDs how do I get rid of them and just keep one?
    peterrstevens

    You can't get rid of them. Just stop using them.
    Sign out of all the ones you want to stop using on all your devices and computers, then sign in with the one ID you do want to use.
    Note that if you have iTunes or App Store purchases tied to any of these accounts, those purchases will forever be tied to that ID and you will have to sign in using that ID to update apps purchased under it. You cannot transfer purchases from one ID to another.

  • Why can't I have the same apple ID for iCloud and iTunes?

    After down loading the latest upgrade on my 5s, the iCloud Apple ID (which is an email address I don't use) keeps asking me for a password that I don't have.  When I change it to a new password (I've done it 4 times) it keeps going back to the password is incorrect.  I've tried to restore the phone to factory settings and that still doesn't work. I have no problem with my Itunes ID or password so I don't know how to change the iCloud ID or password so it can be the same ID and password for iTunes.  Can someone help me bc I'm about to go crazy!

    I'm not entirely clear about which Apple ID you are describing. Is this the ID for Settings/iCloud? You say it isn't an email you use. But was it an email you ever used? Or is it one you don't recognize? If you used it in the past you can reset your Apple ID to it temporarily (https://appleid.apple.com), log out, then log back in with the new one. If you forgot the password you can attempt to find it at https://iforgot.apple.com. As a fallback you can contact Apple Account Security at Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support.
    If you are not the first owner of the phone and the Apple ID is NOT one that you have ever used the phone is Activation Locked to the previous owner, and only the previous owner can unlock it. See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

  • HT1349 how can i delete an apple id for itunes and install another

    Hello, My daughter has an apple id password on my ipad 2 and i wan to delete her account off my ipod 2

    I have seen folks report that they have changed the Apple ID in Settings, but when they want to buy something another ID or their old ID appears, so I have always told folks to change the ID in both places, with the proviso that if they see the wrong account to sign out.
    I cannot test it here because my two Apple IDs used in the store apps are for two different countries. So when I change the Apple ID in Settings, up pops an alert that the ID that I just entered is only good in a particular country's store and then both the iTunes Store and the App Store apps pop open and make the change. I cannot test what might occur with two IDs from the same country.

  • HT5622 If I change My Apple ID for iTunes and the AppStore, will every app and all my music be deleted?

    I keep downloading useless apps, so I made my own Apple ID.

    Nothing would be deleted, but if you have enabled Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Store, or have downloaded any previous purchases with your existing ID, you will not be able to do this with a new ID for 90 days from the time you originally enabled Automatic Downloads or downloaded a previous purchase.  You can purchase new media, you just can't redownload it until this time has elapsed.  There's more details on this restriction here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
    Also, purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.  Even if you stop using the ID for new purchasing, you will still be prompted for the password for this ID when updating apps purchased with this ID.

  • Why do games sync across both iPads, we have same Apple id but different Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud?

    I purchased two iPads, loaded both from backup off my computer, both hold my Apple ID, but my Partners has her own id on iTunes, iCloud (tend not to use this only back up via my computer) all works fine as before -- just changed from orginial iPad to ipad air2. But when playing any game, instead of enjoying how far we are progressing, each one tends to upt the others score? Thus both playing the same app. How can l stop this happening? It didn't happen with the old iPads. HELP

    TThanks for quick response , have now changed all three into Partners id, now will try games and try to win one, which in turn will alter score!, then see if it alters both! One point, can you tell me, that by changing Partners id in iTunes, she will still get my added music etc.? Thanks again

    Hi There

    Thank you

    What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
    If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
    How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

  • HT2204 I can't seem to change my apple ID for iTunes and apps on ios6. Means nothing is downloading, how do I do it?

    I've downloaded IOS 6 but I have ended up with the wrong apple ID on the apps store and iTunes, I can't seem to change it.  Can someone tell me how?

    I solved my own problem after reading a number of discussion threads, reset the iPad with the power off button (if that's what you call it), when I switched back on it had an error message on the updates but let me then change the account back to mine. 
    Mind you still not impressed with a few things on ios6 - mainly the shocking maps that miss most country towns or have the tags in the wrong places.  Can we have Google back please Apple?
