ITunes and MobileMe IDs when moving to iCloud

I obtained an iTunes account many years ago and have purchased a lot of music and video content since then. More recently I began using the mobileme service, so I now have an [email protected] e-mail address. iTunes will not let me change my iTunes e-mail address to [email protected]
I am about to move to iCloud. When registering for iCloud should I use my existing iTunes account or my existing mobileme account? Or does Apple offer a simpler solution to resolve this 'two accounts' issue.

Thanks Julian. This looks good (although would be nice if Apple allowed me to solve this issue rather than work around it!). This article offers some additional advice: http://www.macworld.com/article/163013/2011/10/all_about_icloud_common_signup_sc enarios.html#lsrc.nl_mwweek_h_crawl

HT204406 I purchased an album from itunes, and put it in a playlist. icloud status lists all the songs as purchased, and when I click on "Update itunes Match", this playlist will not update. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name.

I purchased an album from the itunes store, and put it in a playlist. icloud status listed all the songs as purchased, instead of the usual "Waiting". When I clicked on "Update itunes Match", everything updated except this playlist. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name. This has never happened before.
Any ideas?

I deleted the songs from my desktop (iMac), then I used itunes match to reload the songs back on my desktop from my laptop. When they reappeared on my desktop, then I right-clicked on the songs and clicked on the option to add to icloud. This however did not work, and they just duplicated into icloud, but they were "greyed out" and unuseable. I hope I'm explaining myself clearly? In other words, the songs seem to be trying to go into the cloud, but they are greyed out in my library and cannot download. It is as if they are ghosts? My songs do play fine when I transfer them via itunes match, and everything appears normal. They just won't transfer via the cloud. As I said before, every other song in my library always work fine via the could, but only the songs off this one album that I bought from itunes in 07' will not work???

How can I choose individual playlists and/or songs when syncing with iCloud?

It was pretty intuitive before iCloud, when I was only syncing (wired via USB) with iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
I would select my iPhone's name in the left-hand column of iTunes, and then select the category of what I wanted to sync. From there, I could pick particular playlists, songs, TV shows, movies, podcasts, photo folders, etc. to synchronize to my device. I felt that I had complete control over every single thing that synced to my iPhone. Very Cool!
When I made the decision to automatically backup wirelessly (Wi-Fi) on iCloud, there was a notice that my iPhone would no longer sync with iTunes. Now, I find that there is no longer any way that I can make choices of what is backed up and/or transferred to my iPhone. All I can find is broad categories of whether to sync ALL music, ALL videos, ALL photos, etc. How can I regain the freedom to choose precisely what is synced to my iPhone?
I'm assuming that every time I want to make a change (even adding a single music video) to on my phone, I need to do all of the following:
1. Go to "Settings".
2. Click "iCloud".
3. Scroll to bottom og the page.
4. Click "Storage & Backup".
5. Turn off iCloud Backup.
6. Connect to iTunes on computer with USB cable.
7. Make desired syncing changes, etc.
8. Disconnect cable
9. Turn iCloud Backup back on., etc.
This surely doesn't meet Steve Jobs' simplicity definition of being "able to do anything with 3 clicks or less."
I don't see this addressed anywhere in Apple's documentation. It would be helpful if they at least had a list of what is backed =up in each place, and how people should manage backing up their devices on each.
Are the two methods of backup mutually exclusive? Or, should they be complimentary? (With all of the extra keystrokes?)
Is there any meaningful difference between syncing with iTunes via USB or wirelessly?
Will iTunes in the Cloud simplify the backup and restore process? Or make it even more complicated?

Ever since iTunes 11, that capability is not there. The Popularity displays in a column, but you cannot sort on it.
If you would like to make a suggestion to Apple, use the iTunes Feedback page:

Is there a way to remove the size and position readout when moving Lines in Keynote?

When moving the endpoints of lines while creating a presentation, a size and position readout appears on the screen. This obscures details below it, often making it difficult to precisely position a line. Is there a way of disabling this? The option in Preferences for disabling this readout for objects does not work for lines. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ...

ITunes and iTuneshelper crash when I plug in my iPhone

I'm out of ideas on this problem...
Beginning yesterday, when I plug in my Iphone to sync it with iTunes, both iTunes and iTuneshelper crash, and Windows gives me the option to create a crash report. As a result I can no longer sync my iPhone with my Thinkpad.
No new software in the past several days, no other change in system stability. iTunes 9.0.3.15, iPhone OS 3.1.2, Windows XP SP3 with all updates applied.
Is there a log or dump file I can upload to help point to my problem?
Thanks in advance.

edit: I should add that when I plug in the iPhone, iTunes doesn't even get to the point of displaying its gui...it crashes on start and iTuneshelper goes with it. If I leave iTuneshelper not running and just re-run iTunes by manually starting it, it won't recognize the iPhone but doesn't crash, either, when I plug in the phone. I know iTuneshelper interfaces the phone to iTunes, so I guess something is going wrong in the iTuneshelper-iPhone exchange.

This is interesting: when I attempted to re-boot into safe mode I inadvertently booted into the Thinkpad Rescue and Recovery partition. The first thing it does is check the core OS files, and it found that ws2_32.dll was corrupted. It replaced the file and I re-booted Windows in normal mode. After it finished booting I plugged in the iPhone and up came iTunes. The phone synced and I'm back in business.
I'm going to take a look at the article you just pointed to, never heard of that tool. Hopefully Windows remains stable and whatever corrupted ws2_32.dll was a one-time actor.
Thanks for your help here, you got me headed down the right path.

ITunes and Computer freezes when ipod is connected

When I connect my video ipod to my computer (dell desktop) the system freezes, as in it will not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard (but can still get to task manager). When I unplug the ipod it comes back to life. Programs always freeze, but sometimes I am able to navigate within windows without it freezing, but as soon as a program is brought up, my computer falls to its knees.
I have the latest version of iTunes, and updater v. 1.1, (but I have not been able to update the firmware yet from v 1.0).
The odd thing is last night I was able to download several gigs worth of music to it without incident. I then tried to load movies (they were in the wrong format, but I didn't know it at the time), and so in an effort to correct that I uninstalled itunes, the ipod drivers, and the ipod updater programs several times.
I cannot update the ipod firmware because the computer freezes when the ipod is plugged in, so the program freezes as well. Kind of a catch 22 situation.
I have been over the forums and help archives for about an hour and a half now and I have come up dry.
Windows XP does recognize the ipod when the cable is connected, and the ipod flashes, "Do not disconnect", which it is supposed to do.
I suspect this is drivers/software, but I have no idea where to go from here.
Help?

Hey!
That EXACT thing happened to me! 2 nights ago I'm downloading like crazy, all is well. I got on LimeWire and downloaded some videos and tried to put them on my iPod. Imported them into iTunes then tried to put em on my iPod and it completely wiped out all my songs! So I get back on, put the songs back in, and about half way through the update the thing freezes. I've re-installed everything, and have reset my iPod. Did you figure out what to do? Maybe your fix will fix my problem, too.
Thank you!

ITunes and Computer freeze when connecting 160GB iPod classic

160 GB iPod Classic
Model: MC293LL
Version: 2.0.4 PC
iTunes version: 11.1.3
computers: 1 Win8 desktop,
1 Win7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1 Notebook
since yesterday I started having trouble with my iPod. When connecting it to the Notebook it showed a message: "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it". After clicking on scan and trying to fix the problem the notebook froze, so I connected it to me desktop, and it worked, it said that the problem was fixed. But when trying to open the iTunes it froze and after disconnecting it I realised the music was gone. So I connected it again, the same "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it"-message showed, but at the end the computer said it didn't detect any problem with the drive, so I opened iTunes and restored the iPod, and it worked but after that iTunes froze, then Windows Explorer and then the whole computer. Tried to connect the iPod to the Win7 Notebook and the same thing happened, first iTunes froze and then the computer froze, they both didn't show the blue screen.
What can I do? The iPod was already restored to the factory settings.

i had the same problem. all i did was download the newest version of itunes, which i had been putting off for months because it takes so long. after i did this itunes worked fine for me
hope this helps

Itunes and Quicktime errors when installing

HELP! I tried installing the latest version of Itunes, but I keep receiving a variety of error messages. When I install the Itunes and Quicktime bundle, I get "Error Code: -3" and when I try to install the standalone Quicktime, I get a bunch of messages saying that a file cannot be found, then error message 1714, and then to consult the Windows Installer help (Msi.chm). I tried to manually remove the old Itunes and Quicktime, but it won't work. Any information on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

Just installed iTunes and it freezes when I open it

I just downloaded the current version of iTunes (4-8-09). when I open the program it just freezes. I use Firefox as my default browser. WMP has always been my default music player although during the installation i checked the box for iTunes to be the default. I also have Real Player installed (but I never use it). is there any reason iTunes freezes with these conditions? I am so lost. I have already uninstalled it and re-downloaded and re-installed it twice just to be sure I had a good file. PLEASE help me!

HT4898 Why have Apple turned off keychain sync when moving to iCloud?

This was one of the most useful feature I found as I didn't have to remember my passwords when moving from one Apple device to another. I think its pretty daft that this has been dropped! So what to do now ? Any advice?

No one knows here, since we're just users - and no one every reported why Apple did this. There must have been a good reason though. But we'll never know.
