ITunes Match - Two Apple IDs but the Same Person

So before the days of iCloud, I originally used my AOL email as my Apple ID. Then when I signed up for iCloud, I started using my .Mac email as my new Apple ID. Today, I just signed up for iTunes Match using my .Mac Apple ID. Somehow throughout this process my iPhone stayed under my AOL Apple ID. Now my phone is telling me I have to wait 90 days before the "new" Apple ID takes affect and I will then be able to use Match. I have just spent $25 for something I can't even use for 90 days?!?! Really?
As you can imagine, I'm very frustrated because I know this is a simple mistake. I'm worried I just spent $25 for a full year and the first 3 months of that year will go to waste. Can anyone help me? A number I can call? Anything? I'm the same person, paying for music and apps with the same bank account! My Apple IDs just got mixed up.
Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but no luck.
They told me that there is absolutely no way to waive the 90 day waiting period regardless if am the same person or not. The only reason I have a new Apple ID was because I assumed I had to make a new Apple ID when I signed up for iCloud. At the end of day, it was my fault but I wish I knew I never had to make a new Apple ID. I would have just stayed with my “old” AOL Apple ID.
With that said, I still think it is ridiculous they can’t waive the 90 day waiting period. I’m the same person! I just have two Apple IDs, and the only reason I have two Apple IDs to begin with was because I felt mislead by Apple’s iCloud. It’s not like I’m trying to share my music illegally with my friends or another person. Its all the same money coming from the same person...me!
Being a die-hard Apple consumer for almost 10 years and convincing my entire family to switch to Mac, today I feel very disappointed in Apple.

HT4436 Can I have two apple IDs with the same iCloud?

Is it possible to sync data from multiple apple IDs to the same cloud account?

So, how do we as a family have more than one device ( 3 iphones, 1 ipad, 1 imac) and each person be able to sync their own contacts, etc..? My son just backed his up and it confused my iphone - ie, my husband's name now is under 'Dad' and I have all his college friends... I am so confused.....

Somehow created two apple ids on the same email

Hi there,
I recently gave my other half my old iPad, however she went to sign into her apple id/ iCloud account and in the process somehow changed my iCloud settings such as my password.
I tried signing in today and was prompted to enter the new password, which I had, however it seems to have created a brand new apple id, using the same email address as before. I'm unable to access my app purchases and the extra space I bought on the iCloud.
Some (metaphorical) wires seemed to have been crossed somewhere, I was just wondering if someone could help me out with this.

UPDATE:
I've found the email address my other half has changed my apple id to. However when I try to access the icloud it asks me to set it up. All the files I had such as photos and contacts appear to have disappeared, so has the extra storage.
I've spoken to someone at Apple and they said they can still seem the extra content and all the files, however I'm still unable to sign into the account with the amended email address.

Can we share apps and songs with two different apple IDs but the same computer?

we both got an iPod Touch for Christmas and we have two seperate Apple IDs and I cant figure out if the music she has purchased and the music i have purchased can be combined. We are using the same computer (windows 7) and same user acct. We also have itunes gift cards and before we start buying stuff i want to know how this all works. Thanks in advance and I must admit i am new to apple and not the greatest at it.

I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

HT202213 can two apple ids use the same itunes account?

I'm pretty new to apple products and have an itunes question. My husband and I just bought iPhones and have separate apple id's. We will also using an iPod. Is it possible to use itunes with both id's? Is there any way to share the files between both of us?

If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there. You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password. In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

Can two apple IDs share the same library?

Mac newbie here needs some advice...
I just got a new iMac and have created separate accounts for my husband and me on it. We used to share an apple ID for music, but now I'd like for us to have our own apple IDs especially with the iCloud capabilities I don't want my iPhone stuff going to his Mac account, etc. Problem is that all his music is in my library and he doesn't want to have to re-buy it again. So I figured out that I can share my music library with his account on the iMac, and I have him signed in to iTunes with his separate Apple ID... good so far... but what's going to happen when he buys something? Will it go into my library (as some sort of combined one), or into a separate one?
The other issue I encountered is that when I went to enable automatic synchronization across devices for him, I got a message saying that it was already logged in with another apple ID (I'm assuming it was referring to mine?). That's not good.
I want us both to have totally separate IDs etc, especially for iCloud backups etc, but I wanted to be able to share music libraries. Is that possible? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Using different Apple IDs, but the same for Find My Phone

In my family, we have 4 iPhones and an iPad. I want to allow each member of the family to have a separate Apple ID for iCloud. But I want to be able to find all the phones from the iPad. I understand that, to do that, you need to use the same Apple ID for "Find my Phone". But after researching it, it appears that Find my Phone requires you log in to iCloud. I know you can use a common Apple ID for Apple Store, but how do I do this for Find my Phone? I want each family member to have their own iCloud account.
Thanks in advance.

I have read a little about that, but I need it to actually send a signal to the phone like how "Find my Phone" does it.
I have 2 kids, they are constantly misplacing their phones in the house. It comes in handy to send it a signal to make a noise, especially since they always leave the phone on vibrate, so calling it doesn't work. Right now everyone uses my Apple ID, so it works great. But I would like it if each of them would get their own Apple ID.
So let me ask this: When they set up their new phone, can the use a different (their own) Apple id to set up the phone. Not setup iCloud to start. Then go back later and setup iCloud but specify "my" Apple ID (like they must be doing today). And then enable "Find my Phone".
What does it buy them to use their own Apple ID when setting up a new device? Does it matter? The reason we use the same ID now is so everyone can get the same apps when I buy them. If iCloud and Find my Phone could use separate ID, this wouldn't be an issue.
Thanks for the suggestion!
UPDATE: Let me just add, we never backup to iCloud, we always use iTunes on our Macs.

Two Apple IDs, receive the same iMessages?

Hello Everyone,
So I've been using the same Apple ID for a long time now (lets call it A), and that's the one shared with few family members. About 5 months ago I started Using a different account (lets call it B) but still on the same iphone (both accounts use same bank card & same information). I was aware of privacy issues regarding iMessages when I was using account A, however, now that I'm using account B, I recently found out that my iMessages still reach some family members. How is this possible?
Could it be an iCloud issue? but still, I use account B for iCloud backup, not A
Now I checked the iMessage settings and the only "send and receive from" are my phone number and the email i have for account B, so i'm baffled at the moment, any suggestion would be appreciated

iCloud has nothing to do with iMessage. iMessage is a separate service that doesn't use or require an iCloud account so that isn't the issue.
Your iMessage identity is determined by the Apple ID you are using for iMessage in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive. If your other family members are using a different ID for iMessage they shouldn't be getting your messages. If they are, try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID and sign out. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. Then go back and sign back into both services. This will unlink your phone number from any devices that may have had your number listed for these services. If it doesn't, you may need to have the other family members that are receiving your messages do the same thing.

Two user IDs for the same person in SAP

Hi Experts,
The user has somehow got the Approval from the management to get Two USer ID In SAP CRM. Now requested for Access.
As per the Best Practice, One user should have only one SAP USER ID.
Since the User is a Managaer in Sales, we have assigned the Sales Business role, If he wants a Sales pro business role that can also be assigned. He has requested for Two seperate user ID in SAP.
I want to restrict him, and let the business know what would be the implications and causes.
Can some one help with the Disadvantages of having 2 user id for same user. So that we can let Business know about the implications and consequences it will create.
Please help with your view !!!!

Disadvantage.
1. Secure login for linking of SAP ID between your windows network id and SAP ID.
2. If allowed for two user ids in CRM system then he needs the same in ECC system also.
3. Trouble shooting issue in future.
Please note that, its all depend on the users justification and the requirement of the business.

Can someone indicate the way to proceed?

Hi,
You can't use family sharing or multiple Apple IDs with iTunes match.
ITunes match is only attached to Apple id that you used to subscribe.

Can I authorize mulitple apple ids on the same device so that what is purchased on either account will be loaded in both devices without having to use the same ID?
My wife has a laptop and an iphone 4s, I have a laptop and and iphone 4s, our two sons have our old iphone 3s, we have an old laptop for our sons to use. Our old iphones for our sons are deactivated as phones - so they are used as i-touches for songs, pictures and aps. I want to use icloud (which I'm new to) to hopefully have all four iphones and all three computers stay synced with at least music - if not aps and pictures. My wife has an apple ID and I have one. I'd like to authorize all three laptops for both apple IDs so that we will still have our own accounts, but everything either of us buys will be automatically loaded into all three laptops and all four iphones. Can this be done?
Thanks,

Each person in your home can have their own Apple ID provided it is tied the their own separate email address.
iTunes permits up to five authorized computers connected to a single Apple ID: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
For this all to work well, however, each user in your household should have a separate user account on the computer they commonly use.

Can multiple apple IDs have the same billing address??

So yea is it possible for multiple or more than one apple IDs to have the same billing address, like those created for use by members restrictively within a specific family for example??

It is possible but no more than 3 different Apple IDs for the same credit card. If you need more than three (more members of the family or a small business with 4 or more people who need individual Apple IDs) you can use one or more iTunes gift cards instead of a regular credit or debit card.

How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

Simply connect them. One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices. They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer. It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID. Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

Unable to update iPhoto it says I'm signed in as another user. I have tried two apple ids but neither of them work..

You need to contact App Store support. They are the only people who can help with account issues.
