ICloud asks for a new .me account.. but I already have one!

Hi,
I just updated to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and I noticed that, in order to sync notes with iCloud, you need to use a .me account.
iOS prompts me to create a new .me account but what if I already have a .me account? It does not allow me to use the old one.
For the instance, my account @ Apple is with a GMail address and the .me address I have was created more than a year ago in order to test the old mobileMe.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
M

i am having the same problem. I already have a .me account and when switching to icloud it keeps asking me to create a new one.
any suggestions?
thanks

Had my ipod for one year but now I can't access my music. ipod wants me to create an account but I already have one. Any suggestions?

Had my ipod for a year but now I cannot access my music. ipod want me to create an account but I already did this a year ago. Says my email address is already in use. Any suggestions?

You said "In order to enter ipod I had to create a new id. " Just why did you have to create a new ID? iTunes/App purchases a re locked to the account that purchased them.
You also said "Says my email address is already in use." You can only have one account with one email address.
I do not understand what you did or why you did it. What is current status of the iPod?

I can't set up a new itunes account - says I already have one

When I try to establish a new account with my email address, it says I already have one. When I say I forgot my password and request an email, the email is not received. When I answer the security question (my birthday), it says it fails.
How can I reset the account/email address so I can use my email address to establish a new account?
Thanks.

If you mean iTunes libraries or computer user accounts, just create one. To make a new iTunes library on Windows, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose Create Library.
If you mean iTunes Store accounts, click here and request assistance.

Unfortunately, you can't. There's no way around it. You'll have to get the ID and password used to originally activate the phone or you will not be able to activate it again. If you can't contact them, try to get your money back because you won't be able to use it.

Hi fahmeed,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to create an Apple ID (iTunes, iBooks, or App Store account) without a credit card, see the instructions in this article:

If you already have an account created, but need to change the payment information, see this article:

Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

Why do I get a prompt to create an iCloud account when I already have one?

When I try to turn on notes so my iPhone and iPad will sync, I am prompted to create an account when I already have one. Why? How can I do this?

Have you created an iCloud account? This is not the account or ID you use for iTunes. And where exactly are you turning on notes? In what area within settings of your devices?

Itunes says that i need 10.5 to get the new iphone software, but i already have 10.5 itunes

itunes says that i need itunes 10.5 to get the new iphone software, but i already have 10.5 itunes. i cant seem to figure out how to get the new iphone software cause it keeps telling me to download updates, and then it does and update search and says im all updated.

I had a similar issue. I had to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it. Assuming PC, you have to go to the control panel and use the uninstall applications tool. Then install it again. Worked for me.

I just purchased a Mac book pro and set up a new Apple ID with it. I already have Mac desktop computer with the original account my family has opened. I would like to transfer our old purchases to my new account, but we already have 5 devices authorized.

I just got a new Mac Book for college and I created my own apple id for it. My family already has a shared account and I was hoping to transfer the purchases from that account onto my new account. I tried the Homesharing feature, but we already have 5 devices that were authorized and we can't add another. What is the best way to make the transfer work?

You are most welcome

I keep getting a new tab asking me to update Firefox & JAVA but I already have the most current versions. I also am getting ads on the homepage

After updating the most current Firefox I now get Ads on the home page that I can't get rid of even with the "X" box on the window. I have to shut down Firefox and start over to get anywhere. I didn't have this problem before the update.
I also had a change to the new tab/page feature. I used to click for a new tab and a series of boxes would show where I've been so I can perhaps select one. That feature has changed and I now get a tab/page that says it is owned by AVG. Where is my old page

If it opens in a new tab it is likely fake.
Can you post a link of it, you may also want to check for malware.

Invites not sent says create address card but I already have one

invites not sent says create address card but I already have one

Susan,
Quit Calendar, click on your card in Contacts, and select Contacts>Card>"Make This My Card."
If that is not successful, delete, and recreate your card. Then once again make sure to designate it "Make This My Card."

HT1766 I am trying to restore my new iphone from a previous backup but itunes is asking for the backup password. But I never had one.

itunes is asking for a password for the backup that I did not set. I can NOT set up my new iphone and restore it from an old backup. What can I do?

This message is asking for the password that was added when the backup was first created IF you don't have this passcode you will be unable to restore from this backup.
Good luck Friend.

ITunes asks for a new purchase to download music already bought on iPhone

Hi ppl, i bought a music album on iTunes store using my iPhone,yesterday. Now i'm trying to download it on my iPad (same account) but iTunes tells me i have already bought it, and if i want to get it i have to purchase it again.. I read iTunes licence and terms but it looks i should download album with no additional charges. Any suggestion?
Thank you.

What country are you in, and are you trying to re-download them via the Purchased tab at the bottom of the iTunes app ? Re-downloading music for free is currently only available in some countries (they are listed on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). if you are not in a country where you can currently re-download music then you should be able to connect your iPhone to your computer's iTunes and copy them over via File > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to the iPad.
