Moving from Gmail to MobileMe/.Mac, in relation to an iTunes Store Account

I'm moving from Gmail to MobileMe since I got my iPhone, and as with every email change, a whole mess of online accounts follow. The process is simple enough for third parties like social networks, but Apple wants my life to super convenient and easy, and in the process made it even more confusing. My MobileMe account apparently already has an attached iTunes Store/Apple account, so I can't change my old account to log in with the @me instead of my @gmail. While I could simply stop using the Gmail, I receive iTunes allowances which would need to be re-set up and would lose store credit. What would be best is to simply merge the two accounts. Is this in any way possible?

HI,
can you still update your UAE purchased apps after this change?
Thx

Junk and Trash mailboxes from Gmail disappeared on Mac Mail--any ideas?

Junk and Trash mailboxes from Gmail disappeared on Mac Mail--any ideas?
Under Mailboxes in Mac Mail, I used to see Inbox (along with sub-Inboxes for each account, all of which are still there), VIPs (still there), Sent (still there), Drafts, Junk and Trash, all of which are missing, without me making ANY changes anywhere, either on Mac Mail or Gmail.
Any ideas ... or other people experiencing same issue? (Happened in my wife's account and I just assumed the kids deleted something, but then I went to my account where the kids never are and I found the same issue.)

Do you mean that they are not listed under Gmail's header at the bottom of the Mailbox List or that they don't exist in the Unified Mailboxes at the top?
If they are not in the unified mailboxes, check down under Gmail and vice versa. If they are at the bottom under Gmail, select each separately and go to the Use Mailbox for command in the Mailbox menu. Set each one to what they are supposed to be, ie Trash, Junk, Sent, Drafts.
If they don't appear anywhere, log into Google's email website, go to Settings, click on the Labels tab and make sure those mailboxes are set to show in IMAP.
Finally, if they are IMAP accounts, just delete the accounts from Mail then re-add them. If you have a lot of email, it will take a while to synchronize, but it should recover those foldrs. If you are using POP, I'm not exactly sure how to save the old email, but I would assume Google is already doing that for you.

How do I remove my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?

Before I sold my friend my old iMac, I used the Migration Assistant to transfer all her files from her MacBook Pro to the iMac. I then deleted all my files. My old iMac and her MacBook Pro were both upgrated to Mavericks before the Migration.
Now, she is being prompted to download and install the updates for Numbers and Pages on what used to be my iMac, but the App Store displays my account identification and asks for my password.
(1) How can I delete my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?
(2) How can she access the App Store and iTunes Store using her own accounts?
Thanks in advance.

That isn't how to prepare a Mac to sell or give away. You should deauthorize your iTunes account on the Mac. Call Apple Care and have the Mac disassociated from your Apple ID. Then erase the Mac and install the latest version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac using the Install DVD or OS X Recovery, depending on what version shipped on the Mac. Until you do this, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps belong to you. She will need to buy the iWork apps for herself, using her own account. You cannot pass any apps that you bought on to her, that would be piracy.

I added Gmail to my iTunes store/account. My gmail account is: [email protected] and it shows up on the settings in iTunes, and my account. The problem is I cannot access the store with this ID. A response says: You have not verified your ID, press ok to review instructions to verify your ID.

Hi Michael,
Yes it is now resolved but not after I send iTunes a request for help and explaining the problem. They send a first reply explaining how I needed to verify my account and gave me the link to do that. You and I know that this did not help, so I replied telling them that this was not working and iTunes did the reset for me.
You may want to open a help ticket with iTunes help. That is the only way it works.

How to delete an "Available Download" from iTunes Store account?

Greetings,
I’ve downloaded various “free TV episodes” to my MacBook Pro from the iTunes Store, watched them, and deleted them.
The problem is that the next time I start up iTunes on my MacBook, iTunes automatically goes to the iTunes Store and begins “Checking for Available Downloads,” where the already deleted (from my MacBook) “free TV episodes” are *still* listed on my iTunes Store account as “available for download”. Thus, the downloads start to download again (and again, and again, and again . . .) automatically - after they've been deleted (repeatedly).
I’ve logged into my iTunes Store account to see if I might delete these listed items directly, but I see no place where I might access a list of “Available Downloads” so that I might update it. Can anyone help with how I might *permanently delete* the already downloaded and already deleted items?
Thanks Much!

Reboot the iPad and then see if you can delete the stalled download. Try swiping across the progress bar as well after you reboot.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.

I cant find my purchased ringtones on my itunes account? Anybody know how to find this? It's not popping up under Music in my purchased history. It is soooo frustrating because they make it so hard to find anything ringtone related on the itunes store!!!

They will be wherever you put them.
You only get one download.

Move old iTunes Store account over to new MobileMe account

I currently have two iTunes accounts, one linked to my old Hotmail email and the second one is connected to my MobileMe. At the moment, all purchases done with my iPhone are linked to that Hotmail account, which I'm trying to close down.
Is there a way to copy/move/merge the information in the hotmail account, and switch it over to my MobileMe account?
Many thanx in advance

First, I don't think simply closing the e-mail account means that you must close the iTunes account. The e-mail address is simply your ID for the iTunes Store account. (And I believe you should be able to change the e-mail address associated with the account so that you still receive receipts, etc. This seems to vary, though. Some users are able to change this while others are not.)
Second, this question has been asked before, and the general response has been that it's not possible. But others have suggested contacting store support. You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/. Also...the following link has a question about consolidating Apple IDs. It might prove useful: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37

Merge iTunes Store Account with MobileMe Account?

If I try to change my UID to my MobileMe account ID in the iTunes Store, I get a message saying I can't, and that I need to re-sign-in using my MobileMe account ID. However, when I do this, none of the permissions or authorizations are attached to the new account and I need to authorize my purchases using the old account info.
Is there any way to merge my old iTunes Store account into my MobileMe account?

Money dissapeared from my iTunes Store account!

Money dissapeared from my iTunes Store account.
On 6th of may 2011 I put $17 to my Virtual Visa. At the same day I spent$0.99 and then 14th of may I spent $6.97 (I saw purchase history). I have not opened iTunes untill 27th of may. Theoretically, there should have been $9, but when i opened iTunes and tryed to bought some app for$0.99 an inscription appeared: "Your credit card was declined. Please provide valid credit card information and click Done to continue using the store". I entered all info correctly but when i click Done, nothing changes!!! What's going on?!

From what I've been able to turn up, thousands of people have had the same thing happen to them since 2008. Apple has yet to release a statement on the gift card hackings and does not respond to customers who have been stolen from with a solid policy (i.e. some people get refunds, some get nothing, other lose all their purchased songs when their accounts are forcibly closed).

Moving from PowerMac G5 to Mac Pro, just swap hard drive?

Hey all!
I'm finally upgrading to a Mac Pro from my PowerMac G5. I'm hoping that I'll be able to take the HD out of my PowerMac and install it in the Mac Pro and be able to continue my work with as little downtime as possible.
Can you all confirm or deny that I should be able to do this even though I'm moving from a non-Intel to Intel machine? I'm running 10.5.4 on the PowerMac G5 now.
Thanks!

What I would do:
Install a 3rd drive and format.
Clone your OEM Mac Pro system to the new drive.
Disk Utility Restore is fine, but for keeping it updated, SuperDuper.
Migrate your home account only.
Copy only applications that can be drag-installed.
Install anything that has an installer.
Copy media and data files to 4th drive.
Pull the G5 drive for now. Later, when you know everything is working, reformat it to GPT (GUID partition table) which is default format. While APT is suppose to work, in reality it is best to reformat even if it is a data drive. And having your G5 OS is best wiped clean, though there should be almost zero trouble with Leopard and with applications that are Universal Binary (under Tiger there were problems and migrating would result in sluggish performance, problems and just not running properly, that may still be partially true).
Also, Apple's OEM drives are not the best always in the performance department and moving the system to a new drive helps. For $82 pick up a couple WD Caviar 640GB drives.
Add plenty of memory, check everything out as you move forward, and take precautions up front avoids problems later.
As an experiment, you could try removing the OEM drive and just try running off your G5 drive, as a test, and assuming it is also backed up.

How do I move my iTunes Store account from Canada to the US?

I recently moved from Canada to the US, but when I try to change my iTunes account from Canada to the US, I get an error: "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed." I've followed the instructions over and over, and contacted iTunes Store support, but it keeps happening. I've even de-authorized all the devices I had authorized for the account, and yet that still didn't fix the problem.
This has been going on for three weeks and I'm getting totally exasperated. Apple has been totally unhelpful.
Help?

Adam,
Get in touch with iTunes Customer Service at their web page.
When you write to them, pls follow these guidelines:
Do not refer to the prior interactions. Explain the problem without emotion.
Make clear that you have already executed the "Change Country" to the USA iTunes Store.
Make clear that you are using a USA-issued credit card with a USA billing address, and that you were physically in the USA when you attempted to use it at the iTunes Store.
Make clear that you have successfully used this same card at other e-commerce sites in the USA. (If this is not already true, make it true by buying an MP3 for 99 cents at amazon.com)

Cannot download/update Apps from iPhone 4. Able to log in to iTunes Store

Here is the skinny,
I cannot download apps or update from my iPhone. It gives me a warning "Cannot download this app. Please use the Itunes Store from the computer." I am able to connect to iTunes on the iPhone, but just cannot download anything. From my computer (Pc/Mac) I can download apps, but it's annoying that I have to sync to update my apps.
This happens when I am on both wifi/3G. I've reseted my phone's network setting.
I've been searching around and I do not have shipwreck or sylvian game thing.
Thank you

I have the same problem too, I can't download updates on my iPhone or on iTunes, I can't sign in to my Apple account after I logged out, I tried changing my Password but nothing has changed. When I turn off my iPhone and try to long on to my account in the App Store, it says "Cannot Access (acc email). Review your account information in Settings."
What's going on? I still can't access my Apple account on iTunes.

My new Mac doesn't recognize my iTunes Match account, asks me to register and pay again

I think the title says it all.
I used to have a Mac laptop, using the paid service iTunes Match for less than a year.
My computer broke down, so I bought a new Mac,
when I log in with my account at the iTunes,
it says that I have to pay and register for an iTunes Match account again.
It's like it doesn't remember that I already have one.
How can I solve this issue please?
Thank you

You need to log in to the iTunes Store with the exact same Apple ID you used to purchase the service.
