I have an apple id with verizon and @me and i can't set up family sharing

i need help setting up family sharing because i have two apple id's one with verizon and one @me.com so i already purchased more storage on the cloud with verizon and when i signed in on the desktop to upload my library and set up homesharing i had to do another 9.99/mo plan because that computer only allows me to sign in with @me.com. I've read that I can't combine them?? So how can I fix this? Any easy solution?

Howdy Denise,
It is not possible to combine Apple IDs. See this article -
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
You can set up Family Sharing using one of your Apple IDs by following the directions in this article -
iCloud: Family Sharing
Note in particular that in order to set up Family Sharing you need a Mac computer running Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
This article provides a good overview of Family Sharing and what you can do with it -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

If i have an Apple account with monay in it and i want to creat a new account can i transfer the money from the old account to the new account ?

If the money contains a completely unspent balance from an iTunes gift card, the iTunes Store staff can put that money back onto the card.

Can I set up Family sharing in Canada with out a credit card?

Hi
I am having a problem setting up family sharing. I do not have a computer, so I am trying to set up family sharing off my iPad Air 2. When I set up my Apple ID a few years ago i chose no payment option. I don't have a credit card and have no want for one.
I tried to set up family sharing and it wants me to update my payment option. When I go to select a different payment option in my account it only shows credit card options. So I did some reading on Apples' site and it states I can use a debit card. However I can not find that option when I go to change it.
I am doing this on my iPad and I do live in Canada.
Would this be the reason I can not update my payment option to a debit card? Or am I missing something.
Thank you for your help!

Norby,
iTunes Family Sharing requires a credit card to set up, as a way of establishing that you -- the Family Organizer -- are the financially responsible adult for the associated minors.
Once the account is set up, you can switch to a debit card.

Setting up family sharing with new Apple ID

I have an apple ID with lots of music and apps on it. When my son (14) got an iPod Touch, we set it up using my apple ID so that he could access all the music and games I had already purchased without buying them again. We then associated his own email address with it for FaceTime and iMessage.
Now I want to set up an Apple ID for him using his email address and then set up family sharing. But I am concerned that when we sign out of my iTunes account and into his new one, he might lose the content already on his iPod. We can always add it all again as it is all on my account and on iTunes Match, but it will be a pain to do.
What will happen when we change over the apple ID on the iPod?
Also a follow up question - my 11 year old daughter has a 4th gen iPod on ios6. I assume she can't use family sharing?

Have you worked through the guidance on Family Sharing given in:Family Sharing

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you still know the ID and password, you can change your email address.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.

I have the new iPad3 with Verizon. I am constantly having problems trying to connect to 3G. I had no problems like this with my older iPad and AT&T as the carrier. In fact, I find that if I cannot connect via Verizon, I can pick up my original iPad and connect right away ! Anyone else having this problem?

I fixed the problem. Sorry apple for wondering if it was on your end.
These are what helped me:

If it is longer available then you can't get the app on your phone.

I never had an APPLE ID with this email address and I have no idea why this is this showing to me?

Every time I restore my iPhone from iCloud Backup, this apple id SHOWS UP and asking password. But I never had an APPLE ID with this email address and I have no idea why this is this showing to me? Could anyone help me to remove it from my Applr ID as it seems somehow its linked to my iCloud Backup. Thank you.

Hi Ralph,
I have received the iPhone 5s from my carrier EE UK. I never had a second hand device as all my previous iPhones received from my carrier. Every time I restore from iCloud backup, first I enter my Apple ID and Password, then it authenticates and goes through next process and updates iCloud settings, right after initial settings then it displayes enter your password where the Apple ID is the metntioned Apple ID and in the bottom it says "Skip this to go next process" or something. I have to press that everytime to skip it, then restore my backup from iCloud and then when I'm in iPhone home it asks me for the password of that mentoned email. So everytime I change the email address to my Apple ID then enter my password that activates my iCloud services and start downloading all the apps I installed.
Its really weird to be honest and I don't know how to remove that email address from that process and seems its there.
N.B. When I had iPhone 4s, Apple Store did replace my iPhone 4s with a new one due to the faulty WiFi.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Also, do you remember what the error message said?

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up. You can't use the FIndMyiPhone app on the iPod since the app requires iOS 7
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

If your Bluetooth is working, you may be able to tether your phone to another device, and backup that way. Either via iCloud or one of many Apps that send yourself a VCF file containing your contacts.
You may have to update to a later IOS via USB and iTunes, not sure if IOS 6 has Bluetooth Tethering.
I would have thought you could also switch off cloud sync'ing for your contacts, this should ask a question if you want to keep the contacts on your phone. An iTunes Backup and then Restore to your new iPhone should restore the local contacts. Then sync these back to the iCloud.
Hope this helps.

HT2204 if i already have an apple id with my itunes and i just bought a new iphone do i want to use the same apple id for icloud as my itunes?

If I already have an apple id for my itunes account and I purchased an iphone should i use the same apple id for the iclouid feature or set up a different one?

Personally, I'd keep it simple and keep the same one.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.
