ICloud, iTunes accounts and email issues.

Right here I go....
I'm just about to purchase my first Mac (about time I know). I've been an iPhone and iPad user for some time and decided it was time to take the final leap and get a mac. So here's my first question..... I have an iPhone 4 and so does my wife. She didn't set up her own iTunes account and instead it just runs off mine, which was fine originally but obviously it now causes issues with reference to contacts etc etc... So I want to look at setting her up on her own iTunes and iCloud account... Problem I have is that she has made 100's of App and song purchase from iTunes and the app store in the past and obviously she doesn't want to loose these. Does anyone out there know of any way I can transfer my wife's items from my iTunes account to her new one? I was thinking of just downloading all her tracks onto cd and then try importing them again on the new iTunes account, would this work?
Next question.... When I set up my iCloud account I used my MobileMe details (same as my iTunes ID which happens to be a Gmail address) how can I get a @me.com account? And can I replaces my gmail with a new @me.com address?
I'm really hoping that someone out there can help me out.

Set the iTunes login and password and the e-mail addresses on the iPad iCloud setup to the same as the owner of the Family Sharing and iCloud account, which in this case is you.

  • HT1689 Can i combine my husbands contacts and mine if we have two different itune accounts and emails and passwords?  Can both sets of contacts live on the cloud and be donwloaded to both our phones?

    Hey NON-TECHNO-WIZARD
    You can do one of two things. The first is to just export out the contacts and import them into each other’s account. If something is updated the other person will not be updated with the information. Now another options is using one Apple ID for iCloud Syncing and then you can still use individual Apple ID’s for store purchases. The article below will shed some light on how you can use the Apple ID.

  • Wife and I each have 1-iphone & 1-ipad all synced to 1-computer/ 1-itunes account. Should wife have own icloud, itunes account and apple ID?

    Please bear with me as I am not a super advanced user. I have seen variations of this question during my search, but nothing that seems to fit my exact situation.
    I have: ipad 2 & iphone 5. Wife has: ipad 1 & iphone 4S.
    I have an Apple ID, itunes account, icloud account. Wife does not
    I have itunes set up on my PC only and I sync all 4 of the devices to it using my itunes account. (Wife has a work PC at home, but does not have itunes on it)
    So what is the best way to set up these devices to allow for idividual usage, yet being able to put purchased apps on any device?
    Should my wife have her own icloud account so pitures she takes on her iphone get uploaded via photo stream to her ipad?
    Does my wife need her own apple ID or itunes account?
    Thanks in advance!

    To keep purchases seperate and any syncing via iCloud
    seperate, yes, the wife must have a seperate AppleID.
    As far as keeping other content seperate and different,
    you should create a seperate account on the PC for the
    wife  (if she doesn't or can't install iTunes on her computer).
    Then her iTunes->PC syncing will be kept seperate and in
    her own user directories.

  • I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in.  I am told my ID or password is incorrect.  I did change my primary email address.  that is the app ID that is showing.

    How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software?  I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID.  I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air.  Where can i get on-line assistance?

    If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Help!  I no longer have the email address for my itunes account and cannot verify Apple ID

    I am trying to log into my itunes account and it tells me I need to verify my account by logging into my email.  My AppleID is an old email account that I can no longer access.  I want to log in to itunes to update my email account on file, but when I try to log in it says I need to verify my account.  I'm stuck.  Does this mean I can no longer access the money I have on my itunes account since it doesn't let me sign in without verifying?
    Frustrating!

  • How do I manage my itunes account and icloud account

    I have one user name for itunes and a different user name for Icloud (which was merged from mobile me).
    They are both acitve but not connected.
    Think of Find My Phone - I can log in with Itunes account and find some devices - Log in with Icloud to find other devices but not all devices show up together.
    How can I merge the two?

    Just change the Store's country (bottom of the rightmost list at the bottom of the page).
    However: you will have to clear any credit on the account first; and you can only use a credit card with an address registered in the country you are located in and the Store is set to.

    My brother recently got a new iphone, and is a bit of a technophobe, so I set up his iPhone 5 in my itunes Account and my iCloud account.

    Thanks

    What the ****? I don't remember my **** security answers and I just put $35 on my iTunes account and I am not able to buy anything! I'm so mad! I anwered those questions stupidly and I did not pay attention. And that extra email? I don't have a clue. I am seething and desperate. & I refuse to create a new account with all that mula on the line.

    If you don't have a rescue email address, or you don't know what it is (you won't be able to add/view it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    very frustrated iphone user !!

    Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
    All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
    To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

  • I just installed icloud and i dont understand it. me and my sister share an itunes account and if i sync through icloud does it mean that our stuff will be on each others device?

    No. She needs to setup her own iTunes account and purchase her own iTunes media.

  • I created an iTunes account and finished by having a verification email sent out. I never got the email and when I get the note to resend it it won't let me tap on it and below it says, email address is already verified for another Apple ID

    Apple requires each Apple ID be associated with a different email address. Perhaps that is why you haven't received the email. Or you received the email and it is in your Junk Mail folder.

    Why can you not login into the account ? You should be able to if you remember the account's password, if you can't then you can get it reset e.g. by answering your account's security questions : http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't reset it via your security questions then contact Support in your country, they should be able to reset your password (and security questions) for you (after they've verified your id and that it's your account).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    You can then change the primary email address on your account e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
