I need to switch my old Apple ID to my new Apple ID

OK, long story short...
When iCloud came out and the iOS for the iPhone I signed in using a new "desired" email address, the one associated with this query.
-- No error or warning was given at the time that there could or would be a conflict with the old Apple ID, the old Dot Mac now Mobile Me one.
I cannot photo stream on my computer becasue the Apple ID associated with it is the old one. My Mac Mail works with both, for the time being. Since I have archived all the old emails for the old ID there is no problem not using it, other than some notifications on my end.
While it would be nice to have the old stuff merged into the new, I was told late last year, that there was no way then, and that possibly they were going to do something since I was not unique in this issue.
Does anyone know of a way to change the computer's use to the new Apple ID so I can take advantage of the new iCloud stuff fully?
Thanks

Thank you, previously I was uncertain that old stuff and new would be preserved, it appears to have been so.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

Perhaps you've changed the primary email address of your Apple ID, but did not first sign out of iCloud before doing so?

Connect your new phone to your computer using the USB cable and it should appear in iTunes. If it doesn't you will need to troubleshoot. Then see: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109

I am trying to download an app using a new Apple ID. When I try and do this it still links the app to my old Apple ID and says I need to enter my old Apple ID password to download it from iCloud. Help anyone?

I'm trying to download an app off of the App Store and the little cloud pops up next to the app I wanna download because I used to have it when I had my old Apple ID. How do I get this off so I can get the app again using my current Apple ID?

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

I need to get my old calendar data into my new calendar on my new MacBook Pro without erasing what is in there now, anyone know how to do it?

I do not have access to my old computer (can boot in safe mode, other wise nothing on the screen, even with an external monitor) to export the old calendars. I have the old calendar files on my new computer. The titles of the old calendars are in the sidebar of the new calendar app but none of the old events are there. I must not have set up correctly initially. I was using OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 previously and now use Yosemite 10.10.2 both computers are Mac Book Pros, the new one is the mid 2014 15" Retina.

Hi Linc, I started setting up my new computer a few months ago so don't remember the details. I did not use migration assistant, nor do I wish to, I believe it was set up through icloud. Now that I needed my calendar while doing taxes I discover there are no events for 2014 and earlier (except 2 oddly enough). I do remember that iCloud instructions were not clear as to what would happen in the choices it gave.
I copied my old user files over from my external back up after my old computer stopped working, was hoping I could put ical folders in the right place to be used by Calendar or import somehow.

How do I get songs from my old Ipod onto my Iphone? I have a new apple ID for my phone... Do I need to use my old apple ID to get songs from my Ipod to my Iphone?

I need help getting songs from my Ipod to my Iphone. I have a different Apple ID on my ipod... I am not sure of that Apple ID. How do I figure that out? How do I get my songs to all be on my Iphone.
I do not want to repay for songs I have already.

Are the songs on a computer? Right mouse click on a song and on the summary page it will tell you what AppleID was used to purchase it.
If you are going to carry on using the same computer then just plug in the iPhone and sync the information there. So you will have a copy on your iPhone and maybe different stuff on your ipod.

How do i switch my old itunes account to my new icloud account??

My apps wont update because they are with the wrong account and i cant just merge my two accounts or delete one of them

sorry, At this point there is not way to switch or merge the accounts.
Until apple gives us that option there is nothing you can do other than update both accounts.
I know, it's stupid, but until apple gets that option all of us with more than one account are stuck.
Leave apple some feedback on this issue.

HT4436 How can I change my Icloud account's name? Do I need to delete the old account and create a new one? And all this without loosing my data...

I want to create a new email address/additional cloud account and move all my data to the new acccount. How can I do it?

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, set up a new 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.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, your can photo stream photos directly to your computer. If not, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap the share arrow button, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once in the camera roll you can import them to your computer.

Need help in converting old LabVIEW instrument drivers to new version.

Hello,
I just rented a Tektronix DG2020A data generator. I did not find any instrument drivers for the DG2020A on the Instrument Driver Network, although there are drivers for DG2040 that could be used to some extent. With the instrument, I also received a floppy with example programs. This does include LabVIEW drivers for the DG2020A. However, when I tried to load the VIs, I received an error message that the VI version 3.1 is too old to be converted to 7.1. Can someone at NI help with the conversion? It would be very useful.
Thanks.

There is a driver available for the DG2020 on NI's site. Models supported are the DG2020, DG2030, and DG2040. Available in both 7.x and 8.x.

I need help merging an old Mozilla Firefox with a new one, How do I do it?

Can Firefox merge my two Mozilla Firefox accounts?
Between 2010 and 2012 I created to separate Mozilla Firefox accounts. The first was under Teri Muckleroy with the Username savdXGodsgrace and email address (Email removed by mod) that has been changed as of 05/30/2012 to (Email removed by mod) and the second account that I created for my Firefox Personas that is under the name Teri Hinton with the Username CountryGirlsHeartAlways and email address (Email removed by mod) that as of 05/30/2012 has been changed to (Email removed by mod) so what I want to know is could Mozilla Firefox help me merge the two accounts into one. The only info I want to use is,
Username: CountryGirlsHeartAlways
Email address: (Email removed by mod)
I'd like Mozilla Firefox to send me an email with a link to enter my password or send me a temporary password once the merge of both accounts has been completed or if a merge is not possible a solution that will make it possible for me to merge the two accounts myself.

What do you mean with a Mozilla Firefox account? Note also that a moderator already removed your e-mail details to protect you from getting spam. Please don't post private information in this public forum, for your own safety. Thanks!
