ITunes and iCloud are two accounts. Is this bad?

I have an old iTunes account from my first Mac when the icon was green.
Then I got a .mac account with all sorts of features like iWeb.
It turned into something else or maybe it was something else but either way it became iCloud .
So now I have two accounts that don't interact and I think they are supposed to?
Is that right or is it normal to log into your iTunes and Match account with different ID and password from your iCloud account?
Just wondering if Yosemite is going to not behave correctly when I get it.?
thanks

Maybe I should post this somewhere else?
iTunes for mac?
iCloud?

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 a new Iphone 4S with my new Apple ID, Itunes and Icloud are both linked to that Apple ID. However, when I try to upload Icloud from my new phone, it pulls my old Apple ID, an old email I no longer use. I don't see a way to change it. Help?

I have a new Iphone 4S. It is linked to my new Apple ID, as is my Itunes, Itunes Match and Icloud. HOWEVER, when I try to upload Icloud on my actual phone, it pulls my very old Apple ID....an email that is no longer in use. I don't see a way to edit or change it to the correct Apple ID...is there a way to do that?

If the apple id being used by iCloud isn't the one you want, go to settings > icloud > delete account. It doesn't actually delete the account, but it removes it from your device so you can put in the right apple id

Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud are not the same? How to change iCloud id

My wife changed her Apple ID via her iTunes account. Her iCloud account is set up on her old email address and she cannot access it, therefore the Cloud is not syncing. How can I get the iCloud account to work? Was the iCloud account changed when she switched her Apple ID and with the same password?

She will need to sign out completely in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and then sign back in with the new ID.

HT203167 Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or on my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this?

Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.

If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc).

HT204053 I set up my iTune and iCloud account with my work email sometime ago. Last week I changed my iTune email account to a personal email and noticed that the iCloud account has not changed. I pay for additional storage and would like this changed?

My first iTune and iCloud account was set up with a work email address. Last week, I changed my AppleID to a personal email account, but have found that on my iPhone under settings, iCloud, my account still has my work email. How can I change this to reflect my new personal email. I also pay to have extra storage, how is all of this working/tying together? Please help!

Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

How do we change itune and icloud accounts? My wife and I have seperate accounts but she cannot access hes, only mine. This causes many issues like facetime, text etc. Do we have to reset her devices and start fresh?

I have set up iTunes and iCloud with my iPhone 4S but have not been able to get information from the manual for transferring contacts from Microsoft Office Outlook to my phone contacts. Is this possible and, if so, how are the contacts transferred?

I have set up iTunes and iCloud with my computer and my iPhone 4S but have not been able to determine whether contacts on Microsoft Office Outlook can be transferred from the pc computer to the phone. Is transfer possible using iTunes or iCloud or other method to transfer the contacts. If so, what are the steps for making the transfer successful.

Use different iTunes and iCloud accounts only for backup

Hello Everyone,
Recently I update my iPhone 5,my wife iPhone 6 ,my wife iPad to iOS 8.3 and my MacBook Air to 10.10.3.
As part of the upgrade i purchase more space on iCloud for backuping my photo library.
I'm using the same account (iTunes and iCloud) on my Mac and my iPhone but using different one on my wife iPhone and iPad .
is there any option to use my iCloud account on my wife iPhone and iPad just for backuping purpose.
I saw that i can logged out from iCloud on her devices and logging in with my iCloud account but i'm affirmed to sync all of my personal data (contacts and so on) to her devices.
please advice.
Thanks,
Marco.

This sounds like misconfiguration issues.
For Calendars, log into each of your accounts on iCloud.com. Check the Calenders app there to ensure each of your iCloud-based calendars are properly shared between your wife and you. Remember, when you invite another person to share your calendar, that other person must accept the invitation.
For Contacts, make sure you have contacts in your account (check on your phone and on iCloud.com). On your phone, go under Settings/iCloud and make sure the toggle is on for Contacts. Again on your phone, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Swipe down and make sure your default calendar is your iCloud-based calendar.
Hope this provides some insights that lead to a solution for you.

Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

Can you use overlapping iTunes and iCloud accounts?

Apple IDs are fun, yes?
The situation:
I'm slowly upgrading two (2) Macbook Pros with Mountain Lion, and I've run into the problem of two members of the same household tied to the same Apple ID for iTunes purchases.
I've read all the tech support articles and tutorials for saving the iTunes Apple ID and then adding two (2) more Apple IDs for iOS and Mac OS X iCloud services.
I'm wondering if I can avoid juggling three (3) different Apple IDs by having some overlap.
Here's the current setup:
Spouse
iPhone 4S / iOS 6
iTunes tied to Apple ID #1
iMessage using phone #
No iCloud setup
Macbook Pro 13" / Lion
iTunes tied to Apple ID #1
No Messages setup
No iCloud setup
Me
iPhone 5 / iOS 6
iTunes tied to Apple ID #1
iMessage using phone #
No iCloud setup
Macbook Pro 15" / Mountain Lion
iTunes tied to Apple ID #1
No Messages setup
No iCloud setup
My question is -- since Apple ID #1 is technically my email address, can I use it for both the shared iTunes purchases and my iCloud account?
The revised setup would be:
Spouse
iPhone 4S / iOS 6
iTunes tied to Apple ID #1
iMessage using Apple ID #2
iCloud using Apple ID #2
Macbook Pro 13" / Lion
iTunes tied to Apple ID #1
Messages using Apple ID #2
iCloud using Apple ID #2
MeiPhone 5 / iOS 6
iTunes tied to Apple ID #1
iMessage using Apple ID #1
iCloud using Apple ID #1
Macbook Pro 15" / Mountain Lion
iTunes tied to Apple ID #1
Messages using Apple ID #1
iCloud using Apple ID #1
If it's easier just to create Apple ID #2 and Apple ID #3 for iCloud and messaging stuff, let me know. I'd prefer to keep it simple, though.
Thanks,

Yes, you can use your existing ID for both iTunes and iCloud, while your spouse uses it for iTunes and has her own ID for iCloud.
If I decide later to initialize a third (3rd) Apple ID for my own iCloud materials, how does that effect my iMessage (iOS) and Messages (OS X) history / experience? I guess that would have other implications for any data stored in iCloud on what we've been calling Apple ID #1, wouldn't it? Beyond just the messaging components?

HT1725 I have downloaded an album from itunes, and one or two of the songs play in full but most of them stop mid song, even though it said 'download complete'. How do I fix this?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Cheers,
- Judy
