Welcome to the Apple community.
You can use your primary ID or your alternate ID to log into iCloud. If you aren't sure what these are, you can find out at...

I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud. I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account. How can I get what was stored on the original account?

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

We are using apple tv to try to access our itunes account on the computer. We see our library of music but when we click on the song it searches for a long time and then says that it cannot access the itunes store. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?

I have synced two devices in FF. Is it possible to know which computers are synced using? I am worried about someone figuring out my email address and password.

I have synced two devices in FF. Is it possible to know which computers are synced using? I am worried about someone figuring out my email address and password.

HI nilhanw,
No currently there is not manage devices, only manage device. However changing the password will change the certificates on all the devices within less of an hour.
I hope this helps.

I have an apple account which I use for shopping, now I want to use ichat, there is no option to do so, and trying to create a new account, I put my email address and tells me that the email already discharged with another account at Apple, is there any w

What I need to do?

Hi,
Reading between the line I think you are trying to Register for an @Mac.com name.
You NEED another email address to do this.
However it needs to be one that is not already associated with any Apple ID already (You can't create an Apple ID using another Apple ID)
Secondly due to a restriction at the AIm Server End (it will be a Vlaid AIM Screen Name) the password has to be 16 characters or less.
If you register at AIM they ask for another email (aimed at Password recovery and confirmation email) but it is not Hard Linked like the @mac.com one.
Obviously an @Me.com name is also a Valid AIM name but again the password needs to be 16 characters or less.
ANy other Apple ID will not be a Valid AIM scree Name unless you register it.
It may work in iChat if it is a Googlemail ID (As a GoogleTalk ID) - you have to enable Talk on your Google Account settings, at Google.

I just got a iPhone 5c. I am trying to activate icloud on it. It is asking for my apple id. I have put in the apple ID I am using for Itunes which itunes accepted it. Icloud keeps telling me my password or id is wrong. Can someone help me with this?

I just got my first iPhone. I really like it but it will not accept my apple ID. It keeps telling me the password or id is wrong. I know it is write due to I use it for iTunes and it works find there. Can anyone help me or do I need to call tech support?
Thanks

Ended up calling apple and got this fixed. Had to change id since it was made years ago with the old style of IDs.

I cannot access icloud using my apple id, although it works for itunes account

Initial problem was when starting icloud for first time it continued indicating "upgrading" this went on for hours. I exited and tried to log in icloud again but this time I got the message "unsupported apple id" although this is my id and email adrress. I don't know how to overcome this.

Greetings gshirref,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving an error that you are using an unsupported Apple ID while trying to sign into iCloud. For information on this alert, please review the attached article.
iCloud: Account troubleshooting - Apple Support
I get an “Unsupported Apple ID” error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works with the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or other Apple services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you can't use your Apple ID with any Apple services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
Cheers,
Joe

If I change the name of my internal Hard drive how will it affects my time machine backup

Itunes account with old email address and now I can't get access to music?

Hi. I set my itunes up years a go on an old work email address,now my apple ID is a different personal email address. When I got my new iphone, the apple ID is my personal email address so my itunes account is now not linked. If I change my appleID on the phone I can see my music but then all my apps etc are all on my new apple ID and not my old email address! Hopefully that makes sense?!
How do I get all my music from my old itunes account on to my new phone with a new apple ID?

I cannot quit mail, the icon stays on and if I try to shut down the computer, the window appears and tell me to quit mail first and then shut down the computer. How do I get to quit the mail?

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut Mail down from there.

My daughters iPad has just been factory restored from the apple shop, she was using my iTunes account with her email. When trying to create her own iTunes as she is the correct age it has come up that her email is already being used. How do we do this with he same email address

Hello spooner68,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to create an Apple ID for your daughter. Because her email address is associated with your Apple ID, you are receiving the message that the email address is in use.
To remedy this, you will have to first remove her email address from your account using steps 1-3 of the section titled "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" in the article below and then attempt to create her Apple ID with her email address:
How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID
If you have an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID, you may need to remove it from your other Apple ID before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
Sign in to My Apple ID with the Apple ID that has the email address already associated with it.
Find the email address that you want to move to your preferred Apple ID, then click Delete.
Click Save Changes, then click Sign Out at the top of the page.
You can find the full article here:

My son and I share an iTunes accounts but have separate iCloud accounts. Which is used for iTunes Match?

Hi,
Use the one that you sign into your joint itunes account. Icloud account does not affect itunes account.
