No, perfectly normal to have a separate iTunes account for music/app purchases to the one you use for iCloud syncing of contacts, notes, etc.

  • Hi. I tried switching my Apple ID email address to my new email address and I don't know how to switch it for iCloud and iTunes. Please help!! It seems like Apple thinks I have two separate accounts, when I just tried to simply change it!

    Hi Peter!
    I'm sorry to read that you are having issues with your Sync account.
    Your best bet is to follow the steps described in this blogposts and open a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    After that, if you don't want to user Sync in your computer, you can stop it with this simple steps:
    * At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
    * Once the options window opens, click on the Sync tab.
    * At the bottom of the Sync tab click on '''Deactivate this Device''' link

  • My contacts and calenders on my IPAD not syncing with my IMAC

    My contacts, mail and calenders on my IPAD are not syncing with my IMAC properly.  My IPhone seems to sync with IPAD okay.
    Also, on my IPhone I have subfolders for a second email account, but on my IPAD and IMAC I can only access subfolders from one email account.
    Please help

    For Mail in order to have subfolders the email account must be an IMAP account. Check on the iPad in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > the email account in question to make sure the correct account type is selected.
    If your ad is not syncing your Contacts and Calendars to the other devices go to Settings and make sure iCloud is on and you're signed in to the same iCloud account as on your other devices. Then make sure that Contacts and Calendar syncing is turned on.

  • My iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes,

    my iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes, but Windows Explorer (Windows7) recognizes the iPhone is connected and will download photos from iPhone. 
    When I look at the Settings-General-iTunes Wifi Sync, it says "Sync will resume when "PC" is available."
    More details:
    I have three iPhone4 phones. 1 of them will Sync with iTunes, but the other 2 have this problem where they will not Sync.   All 3 phones recently were able to Sync, like 10 or 14 days ago.  I am Sync ing them all to the same PC and iTunes account.   No idea what has changed to cause 2 of the iPhones to be unable to Sync.   they both have the "Sync will resume when "PC" is available" message under the Wifi Sync menu.

    You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
    Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
    You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

  • Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

    Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks?  Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

    I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
    You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.

    Cenzon-
    Are you syncing over WiFi or over the USB cable?  Try doing the opposite.
    Also try a different USB port on the iMac.

  • Family Sharing won't work because I have two separate accounts for iCloud and iTunes

    I have two Apple accounts, one that is connected to my iTunes Store purchases, and another for iCloud. I had to do this for reasons related to transitioning from the old MobileMe service to iCloud a few years ago.
    So now with Family Sharing, if I use my iTunes account, I can't share calendars or other iCloud type information, and if I use my iCloud account I can't share my music and app purchases.
    Is there anything I can do to remedy this? Can I combine everything into a single account somehow?

    Under "Setting up Family Sharing" here: https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/family-sharing/ it says:
    "You can accept a Family Sharing invitation from any compatible iOS device or Mac where you are signed into iCloud. Or, if the organizer is nearby, they can simply ask you to enter your iCloud Apple ID and password during the setup process. To complete setup, you will also confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes, iBooks, and App Stores so you can share your purchases with family members."
    This suggests that you can specify a different ID for the iTunes store if you aren't using your iCloud ID for purchasing.

  • Using Touch ID for App store when you have seperate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

    My wife and I each have a new iPhone 5S.  We share the same Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.
    In addition, we each have our own unique Apple IDs for iCloud.  This enables us to use iMessage to text to each other.
    Can the iPhone 5S be setup to use the Touch ID for iTunes and App store purchases when there are separate iCloud and iTunes ID on the same phone?
    Currently, I can unlock my phone using the Touch ID, but the App store requests me to type the password to my wife's and my shared Apple ID whenever I wish to buy an app.  I am not given the option to use the Touch ID.
    I do have both the iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store set to "on" here: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID
    How can I use my current setup so I can approve App Store purchases with the Touch ID?

    This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app.  It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.

  • My iphone4 will not sync with itunes. when it does sync on my computer it brings up pictures only and no music. My iphone says sync to computer but there is no way to do that. I uninstalled itunes and it didn't do any good. what can i  do?

    My iphone4 will not sync to music. IT will sync to pictures. I uninstalled itunes and put it back in but nothing. Also, itunes does not come up when i plug my phone into the computer. I have to click on itunes for it to come up. I am not sure what to do. Thanks Melani

  • ICloud Notes NOT Sync with my iMac or my iPhone

    Hello
    I just logged in to iCloud.com and noticed that my notes is not syncing with my phone and my iMac.
    Please help
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I was in that situation too but when I created a new note from icloud.com, it sync the new note and also make the previous one appears.
    Simply editing previous notes on either devices make them appears on icloud.com as well.  It just seems to be an initial syncing issue.  Just go edit your note and it will solve this for now.
