Merge .me and iTunes apple ID accounts. Has Apple got its act together enough to enable this yet in 2014?
Originally had iTunes account and purchased music from iTunes store for several years. Then started using .me mail and iCloud and had to get new account for some obscure reason. Wondered whether Apple has managed to sort this out so that the two accounts/IDs can be merged in a way that no data or purchased items are lost from either account. Seems to me that for a big company which purports to be so customer satisfaction conscious this would be a priority issue to fix. Of course maybe that reflects a degree of business naiveté on my behalf.
No, you still can't merge accounts, nor can you transfer content between accounts.

How can I authorize deauthorized songs in my itunes once an account has been deactivated? all?
My partner and I shared the same itunes with different accounts. since we are no longer together she has cancelled her account so now some songs don't play. Is there a way to find every song on my itunes that has been deauthorized and authorize all at once? I'm aware there will be a cost through itunes store. It's driving me crazy finding these deauthorized songs.
Thank you in advance if you can help.
ShaneI am not sure of a easy way - you can sort by 'Kind' - then 'Get info' - in the get info summary tab is the name of account holder that purchased the tune.
You can then tag the item using the notes box and again sort using notes to see which purchases are not yours.

I created Apple ID with my email add. There was a typo. Apple would not let me correct. I was told to use a diff email add. I did. Now I cannot access my itunes or icloud account on my mobile device. How do I fix this?
Are you trying to change the iCloud ID on your phone?
Also, you can change your iTunes ID by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. -

my computer was stolen like a year ago anyway I could track it just with information on box and my apple id its registered to me
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only track it if you turned on Find my Mac in your MacBook. To track it, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and select "Find my iPhone".
Your Mac must be connected to the Internet, and it must have your Apple ID. If not, you won't be able to track it. If you didn't register it in Find my Mac, unfortunately you can't track it anymore -
Has anyone got a Sony EX3 to work in this program?
Has anyone got a Sony EX3 to work in this program?
yep,
there are lots of ways to do this in logic. straight off the top of my head (so it won't necessarrily be the best way)
set your loops up in individual exs insts
transform midi note to controller 7 with a trasnformer in environment, mapped note to midi channel.
now when you hit the right key, it will turn the note into controller message to open the volume on the exs instrument with the right midi channel.
you will need a 'master' note to turn on your loops in the exs inistruments. obviously this needs to be connected outside of the transform to midi channel.
if you need to more than 16 loops, you can put a transformer before 'notes to controller 7' to split the messages by their key range. sounds complicated but is really easy, no harder in fact than programming VCR.
you will need a master instrument to run all this from in arrange. i would have used a single channel midi instrument in environemnt new>instrument.
my method will work but there maybe a way to set everything up in an exs instance, but i not sure how you would do that so it didn't retrigger rather than open up the volume on the part of the loop you want.
my way will work though. -
Merge MobileMe and iTunes account?! This is CRAZY unfair!
When I first joined MobileMe some years ago I couldn't merge my iTunes account with my new MobileMe email address. Furthermore, at the beginning I believe (though I can't find any info to back this up) that it was NECESSARY that you had a seperate account for mobileme and the iTunes store, that's why I have two.
Now that I've switched over to cloud my MobileMe Account is obviously the one I want to use for everything, but all my music and perchases for the past 4 or 5 YEARS are on another account, which I'm told I can't merge. What happens when people get married, or or change email addresses, or even countries?
Are digital commodities really this fragile and fleeting? If so I'm just about done throwing my money at binary, and go back to CDs.
Any thoughts... what can I do? I've spent hundreds if not thousands I'm sure over the past 5 years... this is crazy.Use your ex-MobileMe login for iCloud; use your iTunes ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match. There's no problem in having two IDs this way, and in fact it's more secure not to have your iTunes login the same as your email address (given the number of complaints about iTunes accounts getting hacked).
Once you've got it running Keychain will handle the logins anyway so you won't even need to remember which login is which. -
My roommate gave me an old iPod Mini a few days ago. It was working fine 'til I plugged it into my computer and it asked me to format it. I did, and now it cannot be recognized by iTunes or my computer. My computer views it as a "removable disk" which cannot be accessed. In devices, it is listed as an Apple iPod though, so I'm hoping not all is lost. I have tried many quick fixes I've read on internet (including changing disk letter) but to no avail. I have reinstalled the new iTunes and now that is telling me it has not installed properly, and when I ran diagnostics, it reads that the Apple Mobile Device Driver not found. I will copy & paste all the info from the diagnostic run below, and if anybody can help me with my new (old) iPod, I'd be everly greatful!
Thanks!!

What i knew about iPhone before buying it:
What You Need
To use iPhone, you need:
A new two-year wireless service plan with AT&T
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:
Mac OS X version10.4.10 or later
Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition
iTunes 7.3 or later, available at www.itunes.com
An iTunes Store account
An Internet connection
You must be at least 18 years old to open a new AT&T wireless account. You will need a
major credit card to open a new iTunes Store account.
Yeahyeah check all that stuff;
Oh well; just when i thought i'd finally cross over to the beautiful packaging of APPLE. I remember in design school that form follows function. Thanks.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!
Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

My iphone turned off after I got off the phone today. It was more than half way charged and it went totally black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up. It doesn't register on the computer either, the charge symbol doesn't appear, and there is no apple logo to be found. I have no idea what happened! It was totally fine before. I tried charging another ipod with my usb and wall charger to make sure that they were still working, and they weren't the problem. What happened? Is the phone dead for good? I have a 3G if that changes anything. THANKS!
Press and hold both the on/off button and the home button and release them both when the apple logo appears. That will reboot the phone. try that.

Has anyone ever lost a ringtone that they purchased and downloaded a ringtone and then it just completely disappeared? When I tried to download it again I got the message "You've already purchased this item; are you sure you want to buy it again?"
You are aware that there the app may have downloaded and been placed on the second screen. Not the main one. Can you swipe to the right to see if it is there?

Hi, so I'm attempting to get ready to think about possibily exploring the idea of perhaps moving to iCloud - not that I have any choice, of course.
Anyway, I have an existing .me account, and I have a different account that I've used for all my many, many, MANY purchases from the App Store.
Am I headed for a problem here, or can I associate these two accounts so iCloud works the way I'd like it to? I'd hate to have to create a new App store account.
Thanks!The problem is that Apple are selling the concept of 'iTunes in the Cloud' as being part of iTunes, when in fact it's part of the iTunes Store, and this is confusing people. To expand on what Juilian has already said:
Sign into System Preferences>iCloud with your ex-MobileMe address, once you have migrated, to collect your email, sync Calendards, Contacts and Bookmarks, and use the other facilities listed in that prefs pane. (Lion 10.7.2 required.)
Sign into iTunes with the other Apple ID, which you have been using with it, to make purchases, play protected songs, and enable downloading of previous and future purchases onto other devices.
The two won't conflict in any way.
... I see Julian and I have posted pretty well simultaneously (again)... there you go - great minds....
