Iphones and itunes accounts International questions

I have a US itunes account. I also have a UK itunes account. My old iphone is connected to my US itunes account. My mobile me subscription is a US-based subscription.
I am going to be based in Egypt and have a new mobinil iphone. Do I need to set up another itunes account? It would be better if I could continue using my US itunes account and all the stuff that I've bought through it on my new Egyptian iphone.
Furthermore, with mobile me, I use the ical (as does the rest of my family). However I now also have a googlemail account for work and use google calendars. Is it going to be possible to sync all to the new iphone. Can anyone suggest resources that will tell me how to do this?
At home I'm on a MacBook Pro. At work on a PC.
Thanks for your suggestions.

The terms of use of the iTunes Store prohibit using it from outside of the country of the Store, and there is no iTunes Store in Egypt, only an App Store. So if you're going to be living in Egypt, then speaking from the standpoint of what's allowed (as opposed to what's technically possible, though indications are that Apple is taking technological steps to prevent access to a given country's iTunes Store from outside the country), you will not be able to use the iTunes Store - that is, you will not be able to purchase music, videos, etc. - in Egypt unless and until such time as Apple is able to open an iTunes Store there. But you will be able to continue to use content purchased from the US and UK iTunes Stores and will be able to sync that content to your new iPhone.
To get applications for your iPhone that you haven't already obtained, you will need to open a new account in the Egyptian App Store.
Regards.

By "me" do you mean a MobileMe account? If so, then you can't as MobileMe is going to be terminated at the end of June. What you should look at is an iCloud account.

Iphone and Itunes account

This is my problem and forgive me if it's been asked before but I'm getting old and have no patience to scour the internet.
I have 6 kids, my wife, and myself ALL with iphones. We also have various apple devices in the house including ipads, ipad minis, and imacs. I guess we are poster children for Apple, who would have guessed it since I was big time into microsoft based computers.
1st question: How can I ask Apple to increase the amount of devices that itunes is currently on? I think they allow 10 devices and just recently my daughter got an Iphone 5s and told me that there was some error message stating that there were too many devices associated with the account so had to delete some devices to accomodate her new phone. How can I increase the number so that I don't have to constantly log in and dissassociate a device?
2nd question: I notice that there is a way for my texts that I do via imessage to show up on other peoples phones if they go into their settings and push certain buttons. Will I be able to make this not happen if I make a new icloud account? A new Itunes account? Which account makes it so that my imessage can be seen across our many Apple devices? I have my own separate ICLOUD account but we all share the Itunes account.
3rd question: In the same token as question 2 above, When I make a text and in the box where I can put a persons name I notice that it will try to autofill the name that I am attempting to input. The only problem is that there are names of people that aren't even on my phone!!! I'm assuming that they are being pulled out of my 6 kids phones and my wife so that I have a bajillion of names I have to work through to find the one name I need!!! Talk about a headache. So just like question 2 which do I have to change so I don't have my kids looking at all my information (and no I'm not hiding anything) and me looking at theirs? Is it the ICLOUD or ITUNES account that is syncing all our contacts into a giant smorgasborg of names and numbers?
ps. what I mean by ITUNES account is the Apple ID.
We share Apple ID's but I have a separate Icloud account.

1. I thought only 5 devices was the limit for itunes. However I don't think you can ask Apple to up the limit.
2. This happens because you are sharing apple id for imessage - on all the devices - go to settings - message - send&receive/ start a new conversation - remove or uncheck the apple id.
3. For contacts that usually has to do with icloud - but I can't give you a positive answer for this one, maybe someone in the community can provide a better answer.

I have an Iphone and Itunes account already, can I set up my boyfriends new iphone on the same computer?

Please can you help - I have an i Tunes account and an iPhone, my boyfriend has just got an iPhone, but needs to set it up and create an account. Can we do this with one comuter between the two of us?

Does your boyfriend not have his own computer? Reason being, the iPhone syncs with ONE computer at a time. Thus, he he tries to sync with any other computer(after setting up on yours), ALL iTunes content will first be erased from his phone.
If he doesn't have his own computer, setup a separate computer login on your computer. Let him use that login & his own iTunes account. No chance your data will be intermingled, and if things don't work out, all you have to do is delete the account .

Song dissapeared from my iPhone and iTunes account

I recently purchased an Album for my kids (Madagascar 2) and have been listening to it near daily on my iPhone. There is one song in particular that they love (The Traveling Song) that could only be purchased by buying the entire album. For some reason when I went to play the song yesterday it was gone. It was gone from the album, recently played, song lists- everything. I tried to sync with my computer and it's missing from my entire iTunes account. The rest of the album is there- the songs are listed in order with #2 missing. It just goes from #1 to #3. I don't want to have to repurchase and entire album for one song- and I shouldn't since I have already purchased it. Can anyone help me figure out what happened?

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

I purchased a iPhone from a individual, so, it has all his information as far as signing into iTunes...I want to change the Apple ID/e-mail on my iPhone and iTune account without loosing the current information/settings on my iphone.

Everyone that has or had a iPhone, if they did not buy from the dealer, they purchased it from a individual...in most cases, the phone has to be unlocked unless it's being used with the same carrier as the seller. My question is, when you purchase the phone from a individual and it has been unlock and has the seller's information...e-mail/Apple ID information for iTunes..so I can't purchase anything from the apple store because I don't have his password...I was wondering how do I change that without resetting it to the original settings, is there any way I can purchase from the iTune Store with my own Apple ID. Since he does not own this phone anymore, there should be a way to change that....I am just wondering...HELP?
I sold my first iPhone, it was unlocked, and the guy that purchased my phone, set up it so he could use his own Apple ID, but, I never asked how he did that, because I did not think at the time I would purchase another iPhone... anyhow, does anyone have the answer...please advise...thanks in advance...

Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID.

I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one?

You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

I just got a new iPhone and iTunes won't let me make purchases, I don't remember the answers to my security questions. What can I do to reset them?

Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

No you don't. You log into iTunes with your Apple ID but you can use one Apple ID for iTunes and a different Apple ID for iCloud. On your device go:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and sign in with a new Apple ID
This will only change the Apple ID for iCloud and both devices will continue to download apps and backup to the shared iTunes account.

Can I backup two iPhones to the same laptop and iTunes account?

Is it possible to backup and sync an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3Gs to the same laptop and iTunes account? My wife and I both have iPhones. Her laptop just crashed, so we only have one laptop to use as a back up / sync now.

Yes, iTunes will maintain separate backups for each device. Note, however, ALL iTunes content, presently on your wife's phone will be erased when you first sync it to your computer. So, you need to get all of that content into your iTunes library first. Read here about your choices for managing multiple devices on one computer:

Switch primary icloud email address on iPhone 6 - I have 2 email addresses, one of which is obsolete. Each has its own apple id, icloud account and itunes account. the phone shows the obsolete one as primary in iCloud. Can I switch it?

I have 2 email addresses (and apple ids, icloud accounts and iTunes accounts). One is obsolete but my iPhone 6 shows it as primary. How to I change this?

See: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
If that doesn't resolve it contact Apple Account Security: Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support Or call the main Apple support number for your country and ask for the Account Security Team.

Is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad. We share the same email and itunes account.

is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad...we share the same email and itunes account.

You can keep the same Apple ID for purchases, but set up her own iCloud account for email and syncing.
You can easily and effectively use the same ID for purchases.
What you do is use the apple ID you have been using for app/book/movie/music purchases. In Settings > Store, make sure you are using your usual apple ID.
Then, set up an icloud (@me.com) account for you on your phone, and one for your daughter on her phone. In Settings > iCloud, make sure each of you are using your new iCloud accounts, and not your Apple ID.
Also, in Settings > Messages > Receive At, make sure you are using your iCloud accounts
This way, all of your purchases are using one account, and you can effectively use iCloud.

Issues with multiple apple IDs and iTunes accounts

I work in an office that is all mac based and have mac computers at home. I have an apple ID and iTunes account for personal use where I purchase books and music and I have an office apple ID and iTunes account to share calendars with colleagues using iCloud and purchase work related apps like upgrades to operating systems, etc.
I have an iPhone that is set up with my personal apple ID so that my music is on my phone and so that the photo streaming is attached to personal photos, etc. Is there a way to sync my personal contacts with my contacts that are registered with my professional apple ID? Ideally, I would like to have my iOS devices syncing my calendar and contacts with my work apple ID and my music and photos with my personal ID. Is there any hope or am I stuck?
Thanks for any help anyone might have...

Welcome to the Apple community.
So far as contacts and calendars go, you can share your works data and your personal data with your iOS device by entering the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
You should also be aware that your iCloud and iTunes accounts and different accounts, you do not have to use the same ID for both.

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/).
