ITunes Apple ID and iCloud Apple ID and iTunes Match

I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps. I have two new iPhone 5s. Each iPhone has been setup to have a separate Apple ID for email (iCloud) and to use the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I initiate iTunes Match from my iMac and use iTunes Match on all devices especially since the iPhones have two Apple IDs "loaded" ?

Hi,
If you are using the same ID for Itunes purchases, APPs and Itunes match, you should be OK. Separate ID can be use for iCloud which is not the same as iMatch.

My email (sign-in) and password for iTunes is different than my email (sign-in) and password for iCloud. How do I change my sign in and password so they are the same for both iTunes and iCloud without losing my iTunes content?

Hey Lakedrive442,
It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes. If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

HT5621 So, Settings iTunes & Apple Store has the right Apple ID, but iCloud does not, and I cannot sign out of it or change it. Yes, every 5 seconds Apple wants me to sign into my iCloud account... Any tips?

Please help. Thanks.

Same here. I cannot change my Apple ID ONLY in iCloud on my phone. Everywhere else is fine. I cannot turn off Find My iPhone and/or delete the iCloud account off the phone. This all happened because my phone died, I purchased a new one, and for some reason when I plugged it up the phone did not have the latest backup I did from my other phone. It took me to a backup from November which had the old Apple ID. The new Apple ID works on the Apple Store, iTunes, and everywhere else it is needed except for iCloud.
PLEASE Someone HELP
If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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 to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Iphone4s and iCloud/Apple Movie Trailers app stuck in loop using battery on wifi

This one is a long story and took me a day or so of looking around to figure out. I don't know if it causes all the battery drain issues, but it was at times causing some usage on my 4s.
Background:
I use my mac as an iTunes server - always running - so AppleTV can reach it etc via homesharing. I have a TimeCapsule too and a neat feature is wake on demand proxy where if the the mac is set for wake on demand and it is a sleep, the AppleTV will wake it via the proxy.   Works great. Even the iOS remote apps will wake it. Anything requesting a bonjour service that is active on that sleeping mac will wake it. All was good.
Then one day, I noticed it waking in the middle of the night - whenever the iPhone turned on with a notification. I thought that was weird. I quit the apps. hard reset, etc. Still occured. I could put the mac to sleep and just turn on my iPhone and it would wake. Note I have an iPad and it did not exhibit this behavior. I gave up for a few days. Mac would go back to sleep after 10 minutes so no big deal.
Side note I also have wifi sync OFF. I had it on for itunes syncing but noticed that iTunes maintained a constant connection to the phone even when not wired so you can drag and drop to the phone etc.    So to be sure that was not draining battery, it turned it back off. It also would wake on demand when it was enabled so I knew it wasn't that setting causing the issue.
Investigation:
I started with netstat and my airport logs. I found my mac address, ip address, and then found when I turned on the phone a connection established everytime to port 49166 on the phone.   It would create a connection everytime the phone turned on.
I used 'sudo lsof -i -P' to find the process opening the host port on the mac to that phone port. It was 'ubd'. Looking that up on google, I found it was the Ubiquity process.    I also found that it had a log in '~\Library\Logs\Ubiquity'. Looking at the log, I found the following occuring whenver I turned on my phone and usually very few minutes while the phone was on:

I assumed those 401 errors were http errors. The logging would kick in whenver the phone was turned on.   I figured a loop like that must be using battery at least on wifi. I don't think it does this on 3g. I didn't know if this was related to the wake issue but it was the only clue.
I found a macworld article on problems with iCloud/Ubquity causing a hang. I didn't have a hang but I wondered if there was a file sync of some sort going on. I remembered reading somewhere that on OSX, documents for sync are kept in '~/Library/Mobile Documents'. So I looked there. I found one file called '43LU875E5~com~apple~movietrailer' and a hidden directory called '.ubd'. which has files with names and id's that matched some early parts of the log.
I was at a loss. Since it was a connection problem, I took Safari on OSX, turned on the phone, and connected to the https address in the log. Sure enough, I got messages from keychain to add roots and ccerts etc. Did this and eventually got an error returned. But it did connect which meant the phone was running a web server. Neat. And ubd wanted to connect to it and couldn't and was going to keep trying forever.
Since the only clue I had was the movies trailer data file, I went to my iCloud control panel and sure enough there is a movies trailer data file in iCloud (along with my ipad and iphone backups). So I tried to delete it . iCloud returned an error and could not delete. OSX console log showed an http 500 error.
So, I figure not much else to do, so I delete the app from my phone and my ipad. It even gives a nice warning when deleting that you have a file in iCloud that you may want to delete. Unfortunately, I still couldn't.
Final Testing
After deleting the app from the phone, I checked the ubiquity log. I could turn on and off the phone and it would no longer create the log entries, no netstat connection, no web server running anymore. I put the mac to sleep, and turned on the phone, It would not wake it up. Repeated test. Passed. Opened the Remote App and it woke up the Mac as expected. Everything was back to normal and I no longer had a looping connection between my Mac and my phone.   Note - this occured even when the trailers app was shutdown on the iphone. This appeared to be an iCloud sync issue.
Final Thoughts
- This did not occur with my iPad and it had the same app. I deleted it there to be safe.
- I have no clue how much battery this uses. I have pretty good life most of the time and my assumption is no matter what, it would help to turn this loop off. It was really the waking the mac all the time that had me bothered. I just stumbled on a bigger issue.
- I doubt the problem is occuring all the time. My ipad did not have the issue, only the iPhone. It was likely an anomoly that showed up and may or may not occur. I thought posting the experience and if anyone else is having similar problems this may help. I am not advocting that everyone remove the app. Just take a look around if you are using the app and are seeing issues.

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Hallelujah!!! Thanks for the correction (fat fingers, as you suspected).
Now to the good news. I started Safari, then pasted the URL in and pressed Enter. To my utter amazement the quicktime "Q" logo appeared briefly, then a "screen" box in the window and the movie itself began to load. After a short while it began to play, just like it should!
More good news. The exact same technique worked in Firefox as well!
Now the not-so-good news. When I enter the URL in Quicktime Player "Open URL", the player window opens showing the audio and video controls but no "viewing screen". I let it run for about 5 minutes and nothing ever appeared. I must qualify this by saying that right now my wireless connection is running very slow, so I will try QTP again when things are moving faster.
Believe it or not, this is the very first suggestion I tried that actually made a noticable difference. Of course, this is still a workaround (which I will gladly use). Hope there is a permanent resolution to this somewhere.
BTW, I plan on downloading and re-installing OS X 10.5.2 using the "Combo" package. My original install of both 10.5.1 and .2 were done via "Software Update" and this is the only other suggestion I've seen that might resolve my issue. My plan is to do the re-install only on the G5. If it corrects the problem there, I'll wait a week and then do the same with my MacBook.
In either case I will let you know the results in a follow-up post to this topic.

My apple id and icloud are different and my iphone keeps telling me to enter my icloud id

I don't actively "use" my icloud and my id on the icloud and my itunes account/apple id are different (I've forgotten multiple times and have reset). How can I stop my phone from tellingme over and over to enter my icloud id?

If it is signed into and iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and is running iOS 7 with Find My iDevice enabled, you will have to provide the correct password for your iCloud account. (An iCloud ID is also an Apple ID.)
If you don't remember the password, you will have to reset it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

My contacts show duplicates for address books on my iPads and iCloud. Why and what can I do to fix it?

There are duplicates for all of my contacts showing up on both iPads and in iCloud. Why and how can I fix that? Thanks.

Firstly, may I ask you about your operating system, your profile states that you are using 10.6.8, lion and therefore iCloud will not work with 10.6.8.
Assuming you are using lion:
One reason you may have duplicates is that you have each contact listed under your 'iCloud' account AND under your 'on my mac' account. Only contacts in the iCloud account will sync.
Click on the ribbon in the Address Book to reveal 'Users & Groups', and then by selecting each account on the left side you will see which contacts are in which account. (make sure nothing is typed in the search field)
If this is the reason you have duplicates you have two options of dealing with the situation. Either you can leave the duplicates alone and click on one account or the other before clicking on the ribbon again to limit what you see to that account when you return to the main part of your Address Book.
Or you can delete all the contacts from one account (usually the 'on my mac' account if you want to continue syncing with iCloud). Click on the account you want to delete contacts from on the left side of the Address Book and select the first contact in the list on the right, shift click the last contact to select all and delete.
Finally, You may want to check your default account is set correctly in the Address Book preferences.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.

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 have just got new ipad3 , iTunes has stopped working on my pc so I used my friends pc to set up the iPad . Problem is that when I go into iTunes ,my friends apple ID is the default ID and I can't get into iTunes with my own ID? How can I change default

How to change apple ID on newly set up iPad ? Used my friends pc as iTunes had stopped working on mine and now his apple ID is showing as the default ID for iTunes and I can't get into my iTunes account ?? iCloud is fine , just iTunes that I can't seem to change defiant user id.

Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap his ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID. If you are in iOS 6 it is Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID.

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.

Iphone 3gs and icloud lost 2/3 of my contacts for no reason, backed itself up on icloud, now they are gone.

1) I have 3 iphone 3gs phones (2 16gb and 1 8gb) all updated to iOS 5.0.1.
2) I added the 8Gb device to my itunes account and icloud this weekend and then I decided to make another itunes account for that phone and seperate it from the other 2 phones as it is used by another family member who does not need to be connected through icloud to the other 2 phones.
3) When I did this it changed my old itunes account email address to a non-existent email address that was a strange combination of the two email addresses for which I have appleIDs with.
4) I went back to itunes and fixed the appleId email address back to the correct address.
5) Following this ordeal, 2/3 of the contacts vanished from my icloud account and phones. Never to be seen again since icloud does not back-up any contacts but mirrors them.
Therefore, since it backed-up to icloud prior to discovering the problem, I will need to manually recover over 100 contacts. If you need to restore from the iCloud back-up, how do you do it? You can set what you want to back-up and you can delete the back-up but you can not restore from the back-up in any obvious or easy way??? If it simply mirrors this information, then quit calling it a back-up... not true! It would have changed how I set-up my phone in itunes... also, why would any contacts just disappear without notice or anything? Just vanished? I assume when it backed-up to iCloud but it happened on the 2 phones connected to the same iCloud account, because they are synced with iCloud. So I can sync to iCloud and back-up to my computer but then I have to deal with duplicated data on the phones which have limitted memory.
Another issue, a single instance of online support from apple is $29? Enough never to use apple product again. They change the OS so often they should always carry free online support for these changes that are not associated with the purchase date of the phone. Ridiculous! and discouraging... I found the same thing from HP support... If you can't put out a product that works longer than 1 year, then I won't buy your products anymore. Apple has 90 days of complimentary support on products and a 1 year waranty? in this economy that is irresponsible and they have poor engineering if your dependable lifecycle is 1 year. That's all they can guarantee? Based on the average american's income, they expect you to spend a large percentage of this on this kind of technology every year? Figure it out Apple.
Can anyone guide me through the propper way to use this crap without losing data. I have not quite coped with the fact I have lost all of that data. Horrible.
Thanks Apple for making my life more difficult

Challenge with iCloud apple ID - I have two!!!

When I set up iCloud, I accidently created a different apple id for iCloud on my macbook. I used the same apple id I had for iTunes for iCloud on my iPhone. Now what? When I tried to change the apple id for iCloud on my macbook to match the one for iCloud on my iPhone, I couldn't! Any ideas out there?

Try this...
Launch iTunes on your Mac.
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your Mac.
Now try changing the password for the Apple ID you use either for iCloud or iPhone > Apple - My Apple ID

Sync system and icloud keychains

Hi,
I had to reset the network settings on my iPhone 5 and then I noticed it had deleted all my wifi passwords from iCloud Keychain.
Accessing the Keychain app on my Mac, I can see that all the passwords are still in my "system keychain", however, I cannot copy them to the "iCloud keychain".
Is there any way to copy or sync the "Airport network passwords" from the system keychain into the iCloud keychain?
Thanks

Didn't it keep syncing with both iTunes and iCloud even after installing iTunes 11? (PC or Mac?)
Ever since iCloud came out in 2011 I've had a configuration where I sync some calendars with iCloud and one with Outlook via iTunes. Until today I didn't even realize they had removed the option from iTunes after 10.7 because I think it kept working even after the upgrade. (I guess the new UI wouldn't let me select that option, but since I already had it configured, I think it kept working that way.)
However, today I cycled my iCloud calendars off and then back on again to solve a different problem and then I was unable to turn on syncing with Outlook again. I stumbled across this article and it all came together: "iTunes 10.7 or earlier will allow you to enable iTunes sync for Calendars even if you are already using iCloud Calendar on your computer."
Since I think it was working even under iTunes 11, I'm considering restoring from a backup from a couple of days ago to see if that will restore the configuration I had. But you're making me wonder if that will work.
