ICloud, iTunes, MobileMe Account Management HELP

Hello,
I am having problems getting my Mac, iPhones, iPad to properly syncronize...
I am trying to sync my:
iMac
iPhone
Wife's iPhone
iPad
Between me and my wife we have 3 accounts:
Wifes iTunes account : [email protected]
My iTunes account: [email protected]
MobileMe: [email protected]
My iTunes account has been our primary account for most content however iCloud will not let me login using my gmail account, I have to use my mobileme account which I just had a trial of and have never really used.
So when I updated all our devices to iOS 5 I am having lots of conflicts with: Find my iPhone, iCloud syncing, iTunes store purchases, apps, facetime etc.
conflicts:
location not updating in the find my iphone app
unable to use facetime whatsoever
unable to make purchases on itunes or app store because my wife's account info got synced to my iphone etc.
I want to use my gmail account since that is the account that has 99% of all my iTunes purchases. Can I use my gmail account with iCloud??
Any help very much appreciated, so far this is very confusing and not working as expected.

Hi,
Delete around 1,000 tracks so that the limit is reduced below 25k.
Hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes then reopen. Turn on match, you will be asked to add this computer, do so. The process may take sometime but if tracks had need previously matched or uploaded, the process will be quicker that a complete new scan.
Once scan has completed, check that the tracks have been matched, uploaded or purchased. Create a playlist based on iCloud status being matched or uploaded. This will tell you the total number of tracks that count towards the 25k. You can now think about readding the deleted tracks.
If you go over 25k non iTunes purchased track again, you can use the second library method to manage your main library. When you delete a track from the cloud it does not delete it from your computer. When you go back to your main library you will see the iCloud status as "Removed". Match will ignore in future scans.

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

I have 0 songs in my iCloud/iTunes Match account and it says exceeded limit. How do I fix?

Hard drive crashed and when I loaded my local songs back into iTunes it wouldn't recognize my library. So I deleted all songs from iCloud to start anew. Now it will not allow me to add anything into my iTunes Match account. I have deleted the library, loaded an empty one and then reloaded the songs after cleaning out iCloud of all playlists and songs. I am at wits end. Help.

So now I have iCloud and MobileMe accounts?

I only recently converted my MobileMe account to an iCloud account when I picked up an iPad running iOS 5. After following the instructions to complete the process I find I have an iClound email account as: [email protected], I expected to keep my original [email protected] MobileMe email address. I recently discovered that my old [email protected] email account is still active but must be set up on my iMac and iPad using Mail as a seperate MobileMe account.
I guess I wondering if I missed something during the conversion, specifically a prompt to keep my original email address. Is anyone aware of a way to consolidate these addresses or to cancel one of them?
Thnk you,
Bob

You didn't convert it properly. The process is to go to http://me.com/move and follow the instructions, logging in with your MobileMe email address. Your email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks will be moved to iCloud; your iDisk will remain on MobileMe.
Your signature says you have 10.5.1; this is not compatible with iCloud - Lion 10.7.2 is required. It's possible to set Mail up manually to access iCloud email but no other iCloud facilities will work. If in fact you have Lion please amend you signature to prevent confusion when you ask a question.

My all contacts are available after switching to iCloud from Mobileme. Please help to restore all my contacts.

I switched from Mobileme to iCloud last night.
My iphone show all contacts properly.
But, I can't see any of contacts from my Mac and pc.
My all contacts are gone.
Please helpe to restore all my contacts.
I sync my ipone and mac.
Thanks,
dolphin

Your signature says you have 10.6.2: is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 is required for syncing with iCloud - you cannot sync your contacts on 10.6.2. All you can do is go to http://icloud.com , select Contacts, click the top contact and then the bottom one while holding the shift key to select them all; click on the cogwheel at bottom left and choose 'Exort vCard'.
Then go to Address Book on your Mac, from the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard. This will restore the contacts to your Mac but they will not sync with iCloud.

ITunes and account syncing: Help

I made a new Apple ID because something went wrong with my last one, but anyways when I try and login to my new one in the iTunes store it tells me that this ID has never been used with iTunes before and then sends me to review my information. When I review my information it keeps asking for a credit card in the "Review Payment Information", which I do not have one. I can't continue or so much as use my account without completing this step. Is there any way for me to set up my account without putting in credit card information?

Create a second mobileme account

I need to create a second itunes/mobileme account for my spouse on iPad which is registered already.
Would appreciate if someone can help me please.
Thanks

The pad and two users does not mix well. There is no good way to do it. It is designed as a single user device. You can have seperate e mail Accounts. And if you do want each other to see the others, simply use web mail instead of the mail program.

Is a MobileMe account necessary to have all devices updated?

Besides having MobileMe, is there any other way to have my ICal sync to my IPad, IPhone, etc.?
Have I also heard that MobileMe is going away in favor of ICloud?

MobileMe accounts can no longer be opened. Calendar and other syncing will be included in iCloud when it rolls out in the autumn, and if you can wait until then that would be your easiest course.
Alternatively, it's possible to sync with the Google Calendar (though it won't sync ToDos): and BusyCal (which is like iCal Pro) can sync over a LAN between different machines (instantly) though obviously both have to be running at the same time which isn't the case with the online syncing methods.

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

Subscribed to iTunes Match with iTunes ID but iPad iCloud uses MobileMe and doesn't recognize iTunes subscription. Help?

When I subscribed to Match this morning iTunes used the account I set up ages ago. When I set up iCloud on the iPad it pushed me to the MobileMe account but now the iPad doesn't recognize the iTunes Match subscription but it does exist on the AppleTV since I set that up independently. Is there a way to Match MobileMe ID and iTunes ID so they know they go/come from the same place?

Until Apple allow us to merge Apple IDs, no.
But if you go to Settings / Store on the iPad and change the Apple ID there to the one you used for Match, everything should work. Essentially it means your iPad will use one ID for iCloud, and one for the iTunes store, but they're kept separate, so everything should be fine...

I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud. help?

Please assist
Thx

You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well.
