MobileMe + iTunes

Hey guys.
I've signed up for MobileMe several weeks ago, and now I'm facing a problem. I can't change my current iTunes ID into my new MobileMe e-mail address. Though I'm pretty unsatisfied with Apple's weird decision not allowing the change to happen, I tried other solutions such as changing my iTunes ID into a nickname. However, when I went to myinfo.apple.com earlier this week, I found nowhere to change my ID. So, where shall I go now? Is it actually possible to change my ID into a nickname? Anybody has got a solution?
Also, since I'm moving to Britain this September, I've decided to move to iTunes Store UK. Will I have to assign my credit card info to change country? Are iTunes Gift Cards able to make the change?
Thank you!

anybody has got the solution?

  • Mobileme, iTunes and backing up...

    My brother who is dubious of the mac ecosystem but was impressed enough with his orginal iPhone to buy a 13 macbook pro the other day.
    And MobileMe in the process in large part for the iPhone backup options.
    He has been calling me confused about setting it up. I suggested he call AppleCare, which he did and they asked if he wanted to set up his iPhone to sync with MobileMe or iTune, via chat since he was told to use that and NOT AppleCare, what a bad set up honestly imho. And his connection was dropped. Angry he stopped trying and went to bed.
    I am well versed in Apple products but I don't have an iPhone so I wasn't helpful but it seems to be it shouldn't be an either/or option or is it?
    I would think that if you have an iPhone you are using your computer for the backup and access the App store etc. and that the benefit of the MobileMe is that it being out there in in the cloud its there for safety incase your computer is lost, stolen or otherwise ruined.
    So are you NOT able to use both iTunes for your physical on the spot backup and syncing and the MobileMe in the event your iTunes or computer no longer wants to play nice?
    Any help or insight would be great. I am hoping to give him some info by the morning.
    Thanks.

    You're welcome.
    Apps and pics on an iPhone are not backed up to the cloud with a MobileMe account. When accessing a MobileMe account with the iPhone's Mail application, you can sync Contacts, Calendars, and Safari Bookmarks over the air with the same being kept synchronized between a Mac or Windows PC and the iPhone, or between a Mac and a Windows PC and the iPhone, or between more than one Mac and the iPhone, or between more than one PC and the iPhone.
    And there is the MobileMe "Find My iPhone" feature in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen.
    Apple provides a free Gallery app for viewing your MobileMe photo galleries which also allows for adding MobileMe photo galleries for other MobileMe users, and Apple provides a free iDisk app for accessing your MobileMe iDisk.
    And it seems MobileMe and iTunes don't work together since you can end up duplicating the info by using both?
    Completely separate functions, and there is no reason to do both. iTunes provides a notice/warning under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes that you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone.
    Prior to firmware version 3.0, you could sync contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account and/or with an Exchange account, or you could sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You could do one or the other, not both at the same time.
    The ability to do both at the same time was added beginning with firmware version 3.0 primarily for those accessing a business Exchange account on their iPhone that also wanted to sync personal contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application via the iTunes sync process on a personal computer at home. This way someone accessing a company Exchange account can access and sync their business Exchange contacts and calendar events over the air with their iPhone and access and sync their personal contacts and calendar events. When doing so, you can view business and personal contacts and calendar events combined or separately on the iPhone with business and personal contacts and calendar events kept completely separate and synced separately.
    When doing both with a MobileMe account, this does nothing but duplicate the MobileMe contacts and calendar events on the iPhone.
    I presumed apple being ad smart as it is would be making MobileMe to work in concert with iTunes but it doesn't really seem to be the case is it?
    Yes it is the case with a notice/warning provided under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes when syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account on your iPhone. You must manually select sync contacts and calendar events under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and I'm not sure why anyone would want to do both with a MobileMe account when their contacts and calendar events are already being kept synced over the air with their MobileMe account on their iPhone.
    With apps, Sync Apps should be selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. With this selected, after downloading an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library on your computer the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. And you can re-download an app with iTunes on your computer or with your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally, so there is no reason for apps on your iPhone to be synced with the "cloud" since there would be no benefit when doing so.
    Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. There is a Sent to MobileMe option for photos on your iPhone to send a selected photo or photos to one of your available MobileMe photo galleries.

  • Photo pandemonium because of iPhone / iPhoto / MobileMe / iTunes

    Ok, let me get this straight:
    Albums are created in iPhoto, but will only show up on your iPhone if you sync them via iTunes.
    Albums can be viewed on the iPhone by tapping the Photos icon.
    MobileMe Gallery(s) are created in iPhoto, but cannot be synced with your iPhone.
    MobileMe Gallery(s) can be viewed on the iPhone by using Safari on the iPhone.
    Albums and a MobileMe Gallery in iPhoto do not sync with each other.
    (That is, if I click on an existing album in iPhoto and then click on "MobileMe" a new MobileMe Gallery will be created. This gallery, however, is not in sync with the original album. If for example, I add a picture to the Album, it will not show up in the MobileMe Gallery unless I add it to the MobileMe Gallery manually as well; presumably at the same time I added it to the album.)
    Album's cannot have any pictures added to them via the iPhone. Need to use iPhoto.
    MobileMe Gallery(s) can have pictures uploaded to them (via email) from your iPhone.
    Is this just way too complicated or is it just me?
    (Assuming you subscribe to MobileMe)
    1. Why not sync the galleries I create in iPhoto, with the Photos app on the iPhone? Why do I have to use Safari which is often slow (and with AT&T unreliable)
    2. Why aren't albums and MMe galleries able to be synced? That way, after I go through the whole iTunes sync thing, I can have the same pictures on my phone, that others see in my MMe Gallery.
    (Assuming you don't subscribe to MobileMe)
    1. Why can't I add pictures to an Album that is synced to my phone and the next time I sync with iTunes, iPhoto gets updated?
    I don't know, this just seems clunky to me.

  • How to remove access to my mail accounts, mobileme, skype, itunes account, keychain passwords?

    I'm giving my old Macbook to my adult son who is going to a dangerous place.  I've secure deleted my files and address book, but how do I delete access to my email accounts, skype account, mobileme, Itunes store account etc?  Of course I want to retain access for my newer Macbook.  Suggestions welcomed.

    Your best bet is to use the discs that came with your MacBook to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the software fresh.

  • Will I have problems with two iTunes Accounts?

    When I first bought my Mac, I didn’t have MobileMe, and therefore I used my Comcast email address in order to set up my iTunes account. I purchased several Apps, music, and iBooks under my Comcast account, however, since purchasing MobileMe, I have kept myself signed into iTunes under my MobileMe Account, and have made all purchases using my Mobileme iTunes account. Unfortunately, I know this means that I have two iTunes accounts.
    For mail, I solely use MobileMe, and any email I get from Comcast, is forwarded to my MobileMe Account. When I get “App Updates” available on my iOS devices (iPhone 4S and iPad2), the “pop up” (which requires I enter my password to allow the download to begin) will be associated with either my Comcast email address, or my MobileMe address (depending upon which account I purchased the App, Music, or Book under). I do use only one single computer for backing up however.
    While this hasn’t created any problems using an iTunes hard or wireless sync, I didn’t know if I will have any difficulties once migrating over to iCloud. I’m hopeful that everything works as it has. I don’t have a family account, all purchases under the Comcast and MobileMe addresses currently live locally on my iMac that I use for syncing.
    Just wanted to check with you all before I migrate to iCloud, as I didn’t want to lose any of my Apps, Music or Books, nor do I want to have difficulties with App updates (e.g. problems migrating purchases to iCloud that were originally bought under my Comcast Account, or problems updating Apps when updates are available that were originally purchased under my Comcast Account).
    Thanks you in advance for any input!
    Best,
    iDan
    PS: I recently updates to iOS 5, and 10.7.2!

    My personal experience has been no issues with either browser, including using a secure webmail account access.  If others have reported issues, I really can't comment since I haven't had any.  I have used my systems extensively in Paris and Zurich, especially at the technical university in Zurich and been satisfied with my access.
    Of course, if you have more than one browser installed you can easily switch between them if problems do arise...a lot to be said for options

  • ITunes account disabled, repeatedly by Apple

    every week i have to reset my iTunes account...any ideas?
    i won't keep a credit card on file for security reasons, could this be the culprit?

    Here is what fixed it for us:
    After troubleshooting the issue we determined that my wife's MobileMe account was being disabled every time she tried to buy something from iTunes, or update her apps on her iPhone. So her account may have been legitimately disabled the first time by hacking attempt or someone using the wrong ID, but every time after that was because we didn't know to do the following in iTunes. First, re-enable the account and set a new password (this is the most frustrating part, because over the last month we have churned through a LOT of passwords). Then from iTunes go to Store\Sign Out. If you have an iPhone go to Settings\Store\Sign Out. Now sign back into both places with your new password. After doing this her account no longer locks when she tries to buy something from iTunes or update her apps on her phone. For some reason the "10 attempts before disable" rule does not apply with iTunes even though it is the same account as MobileMe. iTunes would disable the account immediately upon trying to make a purchase. It would be nice if iTunes gave you a chance to type the new password when it found a mismatch rather than disable the account immediately.
    For the record; many e-mails, IMs, and a call to Apple support were completely useless, every time the account was disabled we were told that was because someone tried an incorrect password 10 times. Thanks to everyone who posts their findings out here, we wouldn't have figured this out without your help. I hope what worked for us will work for you.

  • What are "Apple software updates"? Where is "iTunes & QuickTime" update?

    When starting iTunes today, I got the box asking if I wanted to install 10.4. I clicked yes then got the big box that I've seen many times. It usually has MobileMe, iTunes & QuickTime, and an offer to install Safari. Today, and recently, I haven't seen the "iTunes & QuickTime" update option; it's been replaced by something like "Apple software updates." Today it was version 2.... Previously, I haven't gone ahead with the "Apple software updates" because I don't know what this consists of and it looks suspicious to me. Today, I again quit instead of updating "Apple software."

    Thanks for the reply.
    I've had iTunes since 2007 and don't recall "Apple software update" 'till recently. Perhaps the reason I've seen the message several times now, and again today, is that I've not installed it. It would then make sense to prompt me today before going ahead with the 10.4 update. Make sense to you?
    Actually, from what I've seen on the forum today, I expect another iTunes update very soon, so I think I'll wait.

  • What happens to my local user data? -newbie question sorry

    Hi All,
    Firstly apologies if this seems a dumb question, I've scoured the forums but I require something that fits my specific situation.
    I've had a (my first) MacBook for about 9 months, built up a fairly healthy local user, setup just how I like it, MobileMe, iTunes, Chrome, iPhoto library, lots of other apps, etc etc and so forth.
    I'm setting up a Mac Mini Server, and was wondering what I can do to join the new server, but take all my settings/downloads/iTunes etc with me... I don't want it all stored on the server, but I come from a Micro$oft Windows background. With MS, when you add a PC to a domain, login with the appropriate user account, you have a fresh profile, no settings, no files, no customisations etc etc is this also the case when I hit that Join Network Account server button on my Mac? Will I get a blank fresh account on my Macbook?
    I'm guessing this must happen quite often as people start their way into Apple technology and build up a nice healthy local account before branching further into the Apple world...

    The two laptops I use everyday have access to all the servers via my network account. It is set so that my user account is listed as having "no home" So I log into the laptop with my local user account with a UID of 501 but access all the network services via the go menu and my network account of the same name but with a UID of 1034.
    For all other users in the company, if they are on a laptop, I use network accounts. The machines are managed to ask if the user wants to create a mobile account when they login. For permanently assigned laptop users, the answer is yes. This puts their home on the laptop and ties them to that machine. I use mobile account syncing to make sure their critical data is copied to the server for backup.
    By having the machine ask to create the mobile account, users can answer no and login to their network home. The use of the laptop may be needed temporarily if a regular workstation is down.
    Once in a while I will need to convert a local account to a network account. While a bit more laborious that setting it up correctly at the beginning, it can be done.
    But I never let any user account have the UID of 501. I would set that up as the local admin account I use for installing updates and performing other maintenance. If needed, I would back up the user data and erase and re-install the OS.

  • Two Apple ID's: Dealing With It

    Here's a means to deal with the 2 Apple ID problem. It's not necessarily a solution; it's a message to Apple.
    Background: The old MobileMe, iTunes, and iCloud accounts do not get along. This is because iTunes used one Apple ID for purchases, and MobileMe another, which was always the @me.com or @mac.com email address.
    Along comes iCloud and it insists that the @me.com adress is its own Apple ID, and al devices and iCloud apps or content services must and can only sync to a device running that account. This does not mean you cannot use your content from the old iTunes Apple ID on your device if it is authorized, but many push, sunc, in-App opurchases, or auto-update featreus cannot work unless you make the effort to log-out of your iCloud Apple ID and log-in to iTunes with your iTunes Apple ID.
    This 2 Apple ID confusion is maddening. Originally .Mac/MobileMe were Mac-only service with no relationship to iTunes. Since iTunes was a broad service extending into the world of PC's and Windows, it did not tie its accounts (Apple ID's) to a specific Apple-generated email address. this is probably why @mac.com was replace with the less Macentric @me.com.
    Here's a way to get the message to Apple that this transition is creating all sorts of problems for those with older iTunes and .Mac/MobileMe Apple ID's:
    Using iTunes, log in to the Apple ID you DO NOT WANT in the future. This will be the Apple ID with the email address different than the one you use for iCloud. Duoble-check.
    If you do not have an iTunes account with your iCloud name then you are safe and free to make one that is identical. Stop reading any further.
    Once you've logged into your iTunes account (which is just the account attached to your Apple ID), go to Purchase History.
    Identify all purchases in an invoice (each sepaarte line item is an invoice) and click Report a Problem.
    Always choose the LAST item in the pulldown menu. This is the catch-all, generic problem.
    Type in (or modify as you see fit), then click Done. Repeat for every paid item:
    This item downloaded to the wrong account. For syncing with iCloud I need it to be on my iCloud account which is Apple ID [email protected]. Thank-you.
    I did this on a trial basis and recieved a transfer. I have now reported all 400 paid items from my non-iCloud account witht the above request. It took a bit of time, but I feel it may achieve what I require.
    It only works with paid items: apps or media content. Anything free or an in-app purchase does not work and will bump you to a webpage. For free items find your email invoices and print those, then re-download them again.
    But here's the catch. Apple has to respond to every one of those requests. If an app costs $0.99 then Apple takes $0.33. responding to every "Report a Problem". For every $0.99 app will use more labor costs than the app made for Apple. Same for songs.
    Apple offers great products and services, but this ping-pong game with .Mac, MobileMe, iTunes, and now iCloud is a major problem because it diminsishes the capabilities of our invested hardware when we cannot sync across Apple ID's. The most loyal Apple customers were those early adopters who, like myself, find we cannot utilize all our apps and content because we cannot combine Apple ID's.
    This method may not work or work for everyone, but it sends a message that there ineed is a "Problem", triggered by iCloud's implementation.

    Some things are mixed up here, seemingly...
    I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.
    An Apple ID is a valid email address, apparently. How can those be "attached to your email"... what email?
    Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.
    This doesn't make sense. You can register multiple, even non-Apple-ID, email addresses and their aliases with FaceTime.
    So, maybe you can explain your problem better - what you want and the steps you've taken and what you have so far. If something doesn't work, please tell the exact error message, too.

  • IPod Touch Install will not get past "Free Find My iPod Touch" Help..

    I have just got an iPod Touch for Christmas, and after attempting to install it to my iTunes, I have found a problem. I have tried to install this iPod, but it has gotten "Stuck" at a strange place in the setup. I will copy and past the page below.

    When trying to click on any of the links, they do not seem to work at all, which is really bugging me. All I want to do is use my new iPod Touch, which I currently cannot do.
    Also, the page i pasted above is NOT in the correct iTunes style/format, and there is no Search Bar above it, etc. It is just a blank page with exactly what I pasted.
    Please help me, I would be forever grateful.

    My iphone works!!! But it wasn't from rebooting (although rebooting gave me the idea to try Plan B, so thx very much for inspiration). I rebooted several times and nothing happened. Then, I decided to download the FindMyiPhone app (in case that had something to do with it). I downloaded the app from the app store on my iphone--NOT through itunes on my computer. (Tried that and failed).
    After I downloaded the app, I had to go into iphone Settings "Mail, Contacts.." and key in my Mobile Me info. (Also, make sure Push notifications is ON; this is also in Settings) Next, I enabled bluetooth and then tried to connect to our wifi home network. As soon as iphone "discovered" the home network, I opened itunes, and the first screen asked me how I wanted to set up my phone.Yippie!
    I don't know if the FindMyiPhone app had anything to do with it or if the iphone just wanted me to key in all of the MobileMe/itunes account stuff, so you'll have to figure out that one for yourself. I would be willing to bet, though, that this process will work with ipods as well as iphones.
    Now, if I can just get rid of this splitting headache...

  • Apple ID is driving me insane!

    I didn't know whether to put this under iCloud or iTunes, but the basic problem I'm having is with Apple ID.  It's constantly telling me that my password is invalid, and I have to reset it every day, or several times per day.
    It was fine when I just had my iMac to deal with, but then I added an iPod Touch, which I think is when the problem started. 
    I hate being harassed with Apple ID constantly asking for my password in the first place. I thought the idea was "set and forget"... as it should be.
    Well, sometimes my signin worked on the iMac, but not on my iPod. Then my iMac wouldn't accept my password.
    Now, it's even worse, since I've added an IPad and MacBook Air to my collection.
    Isn't the general idea that I can use one Apple ID/password combo for all of them???
    I can't live with changing my password once or twice a day and having to remember it when I move from one device to another.
    I'm still using the same old email address... [email protected] for all of them, so that's not an issue.
    Even getting into Apple Discussions, I had to move from my iMac, which wouldn't accept the password I set yesterday to my MacBook, which does!!!
    What is this insanity all about???

    Here is what fixed it for us:
    After troubleshooting the issue we determined that my wife's MobileMe account was being disabled every time she tried to buy something from iTunes, or update her apps on her iPhone.

  • Multiple repeats of the same person when I sync

    Each time I sync, my addresses get multiplied. It ends up that I am now up to 6 or more copies for a single individual.
    I am syncing two computers, the iphone 4, yahoo, mobile me and gmail.
    HELP!

    You are probably syncing in too many different ways at the same time: you have to decide whether to use mobileme, itunes, or gmail. I had this problem, since I pay for mobileme anyway I decided to use that. So you have to deselect the sync through itunes and also make sure that your gmail sync isn't doing contacts. Same for yahoo sync.
    Then you'll have to clean up the mess. I would suggest cleaning it up on your mac by having it merge duplicates if you have them and then doing a one-time sync back to your phone. Make sure everything that's on your phone is on the mac before you say yes to deleting what's on the phone.

  • Iphone not syncing back to Macbook Pro. How to go both directions?

    I can sync calendar items (and contacts) from my computer to my iphone, but not in the other direction. I want to be able to do this within itunes. I have noticed that the sync is happening within my mobile me account....but that's not how I manage those items on a daily basis. I need to be able to sync via Itunes the data going both ways (computer to phone and vice versa). Thanks for your help.

    Assuming that you don't want to sync either your iPhone or Mac with MobileMe:
    iPhone - Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (your MobileMe acct.) > Contacts, Calendars > OFF
    Mac - Settings > MobileMe > Sync > uncheck Synchronize with MobileMe
    iTunes - Device > Info > Contacts and Calendars - check what you want to sync. Syncing will be bidirectional.

  • Music - iCloud - Apple ID's?

    Hello, just a wee question about what will happen to my music when iCloud becomes. What i mean is, currently my apple ID which has all my music & apps which is associated with my iTunes is not the same ID I use for mobileme. I know (am I wrong?) that it is impossible to 'move' everything which has been purchased with one ID over to another - this is a shame as I would love to dump my old apple ID & use my mobileme ID for everything rather than having seperate account.
    Anyway, seeing that icloud will incorporate music etc... will i have any problems accessing my purchased music & apps in case the mobileme account becomes the default for iCloud? I know this is speculation as these have not arrived yet (can't wait) but just thinking ahead. if anyone has any ideas how this transition might happen for people with seperate apple ID's used for mobileme & iTunes.
    Thxs,

    You would need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap her ID, sign out, then sign back in with your ID.  However, if she has turned on automatic downloads, download previous purchases or signed into an iTunes Match account using her current ID, she would have to wait 90 days from when she first did this to change to another ID.  She can, of course, sync your music to her device using iTunes without changing her ID association.

Maybe you are looking for
