ITunes account and Apple ID in Apple Discussion

Hi, I recently want to create an iTunes Account, however during the process in validating my email, it says that my email account has already an Apple ID. Does this mean that the Apple ID I use here in the discussion Forum is the same of that of iTunes Account? I would like to believe so because when I tried to change the password in iTunes, then logging in Apple Discussion, the same password was accepted when I had it changed. In iTunes, I cannot go further. When I log in iTunes account using my username and password here in Apple Discussion, iTunes does not accept it.
Thank you for the help.

My Apple ID is the same for Apple Discussions and iTunes...
Your Apple ID can also be called:
* Apple account
* MobileMe account
* .Mac account
* iTunes Store account
* iChat/AIM name
See this page for more about Apple ID.

    If you haven't remove the code from the card then you should be able to redeem it onto your account e.g. via the Redeem button under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or via the bottom of the Music tab if using an iOS device

  • Different iTunes Accounts and Transferring Purchases from Apple TV

    I'm having difficulty transferring purchases made on the Apple TV to the Synced iTunes. Here are the details:
    - This is the case with Purchased TV Shows and Purchased Movies.
    - Purchases made on Apple TV, with iTunes Account #1 (Mine) DO NOT transfer to the Synced iTunes on the iMac.
    - Purchases made on Apple TV, with iTunes Account #2 (Wife) DO transfer to Synced iTunes on the iMac automatically.
    - I have tried all combinations of Authorizing and De-authorizing Account #1 and Account #2 on the Synced iMac, both individually and combined.
    - Music, Movies, and TV Shows authorized to Account #1 (Mine) DO transfer from Synced iTunes to the Apple TV when Account #1 is Authorized on the Synced iTunes.
    - Both Accounts were Authorized on the iMac iTunes when the initial sync happened.
    Any thoughts or experiences about why only one set of purchases transfers back to the Synced iTunes from the Apple TV? My next action will likely be to Re-Sync the Apple TV to another computer (MacBook Pro or G5) with both accounts authorized on the different machine to see what happens. I'll take suggestions before spending the time syncing.
    Thanks!

    Ian:
    A good thought, however It didn't work with either Account #1, Account #2, or No Accounts logged into the store.
    I think the next step will be total re-connect of the Apple TV and the iMac. Items purchased on Account #2 that did sync to transfer back to the iMac should be safe as we have the files in the iTunes Library. Hopefully we'll get the rest of the items purchased on Account #1.
    Thanks

  • Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Why is this setup now blocked by Apple? Cannot download purchased music.

    Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Each of us is using an own individual iPhone, which we frequently update with our iTunes Accounts. We have had this setup for years. It was convenient, reliable and user friendly, since we both could download what we wanted, create playlists, etc. without impact on the other. Exactly this convenience has made me and my wife real Apple fans, so that we also wanted to convince our daughter to move from Android and PC to our easier Apple setup.
    Since a few weeks, this setup does not work anymore. From Apple Support (online chat on Apple.at) I was not told that this is not supported any more. Every computer is only allowed to be connected to one iTunes account. From one perspective (sharing music across other users as an act or media piracy, etc.) I can somehow understand this. However, since we are using different user accounts on this computer, I do not have access to other user´s iTunes media and could not play, download or copy it. So what is the point in this?
    This now means, that my wife and I are only allowed to download individually purchased music with our personal iTunes accounts only with an interval of 90 days, so every on of us 2 times a year!
    Was I incorrectly informed by the Apple support? If so, how can I solve the problem? Or is this really a new policy by Apple? If so, what is the reason? Am I expected to purchase a Mac for my wife, my daughter, myslef and for the three smaller kids to follow soon?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
    If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

  • HT1349 I have two Apple itunes accounts and I want to merge them in to one.

    I have two Apple itunes accounts and I want to merge them in to one.  How do I do this.

    You cannot merge Apple ID's. Copied from Apple's FAQ about Apple ID's.
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

  • 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!

  • 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/).

  • I lost my contacts and pictures when I synced up with my itunes account and it synced to my old apple id how do i get them back?

    I had contacts and pictures on my new iphone 4 from my old android. I went to sync my music and itunes account and it asked if I wanted to restore. I thought that it meant the music so i said yes. I lost all of my contacts and pictures and it set everything up from the old iphone/apple id that i used to have onto my phone. How do I get the pictures and contacts back?

    It also asked if I wanted to update my software and it did that too

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question is not related to. I suggest you contact the web site from whom you wish to purchase the subscription.

  • 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.

  • How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.
