Same account - different suffixes consolidation

my iphone thinks my apple id is [email protected], my mac thinks it's xxxx and my iPad thinks it's [email protected] They are all the same account - how do I combine them to [email protected]? Many thanks

Thanks for your message. I can sign out on my mac and change the id but not on my iphone which - for example in app store prompts me to sign in to app store but gives me a prefilled unchangeable id

  • Downloading on same account, different computers

    I have two computers in my house. Different family members have their iPods registered to the different computers, but use the same Apple Account for iTunes. Do I have to download songs and videos and pay for them again if i'm downloading them on the same account but a different computer?

  • Connecting Mac pro and iPad - same account different addresses

    I have been reading the posts here and am a little confused about FaceTime setup.
    I have an iPad with FT preinstalled. My Mac pro at home should be able to handle FT as should my MacBook pro. I understand that I can buy FT from the app store and it will work on all machines with my mac.com account.
    Where the confusion comes in is people outside my account. If I am away from home with my iPad and/or laptop, will I be able to FT with someone at home? Since the home computer is registered to my Mac.com account along with my iPad, I know I cant connect to the home machine using the same account/email.
    Can my wife or kids use FaceTime on my home computer with their own accounts to send or receive facetime calls from me when I am traveling? If I set up a separate user account for them on my machine will they have to buy their own copy of FT to access it (since activation seems to be tied to a .mac account) If they use their email while logged into my account, can I change the ft address on that computer back to mine when I get home?
    this new app store activation process has me confused already, and the additional address need for FaceTime complicates the process even further. Any clarification on how this works and the possible limitations would be appreciated.

    Just to be clear. There is no FireWire connection for the iPad.
    To connect the iPad to your Mac use the cable that came with the iPad. Plug one end into the iPad and the other into your Mac.
    Now, keep in mind that the iPad requires USB 2.0 on your Mac.
    Also to transfer files you need iTunes 10.7 or 11.0.2 which is the latest.
    iTunes 10.7 or 11.0.2 on your Mac requires OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later.
    Make sure your Mac meets the system and iTunes requirements before proceeding.
    So start iTunes on your Mac. If it is iTunes 11.0.2 use the View menu in iTunes to view Sidebar.
    Then connect the iPad.
    You will not see the iPad listed like a hard drive on your Mac. It will show up in the Sidebar of iTunes.
    Finally, does your daughter sync her iPad to another computer? If so use that computer to add the movie to her iPad. Connecting her iPad through iTunes to your computer and syncing to add the Movie will cause all photos, music, etc. that were synced from your daughters computer to be deleted.

  • Same account, different computers...

    Hi, I use my iTunes account on my MacBook and on someone elses laptop. If she downloads apps on her laptop, can I also have them on my MacBook?
    It's doesn't show in the 'Purchased' tab in iTunes, however it does show in my recently purchased bit in my actual account details, but this doesn't allow me to download them to my laptop.
    So basically, we both use the same account on my Mac and iPhone and on her laptop and iPod Touch. Can we share apps, because I can't seem to!

    Copy the song files from your work computer to a portable medium such as a flash drive. The copy from the drive to the home PC, and add the songs to your library there. This works for non-purchased content as well.

  • Same account, different computers, plus iPhone

    I have two computers. I use one primarily to keep my music on but it's getting outdated now and I would like to be able to use my main computer to syncronize my phone. When I plug in the phone to the new computer, it says it has to erase everything from the phone to sync. I don't understand this since I am using the same itunes account. Is there some way I can get it to work with both machines, or at least transfer everything over to the new computer from the old one? I understand I can't have one phone and two different accounts, but why can't I have my music appear on both machines without it erasing everything all of the time?
    thanks!

  • RE-CONNECTING email to my pearl (same account, different password)

    Hi--
    I recently changed passwords on my personal email account also connected to my blackberry. The phone automatically disconnected my email as the password was invalid. I want to re-connect but have been unable.
    I click the email appliation and scroll to existing users. I don't know what Log-in is being requested? What user name is this? to my blackberry? to my email? Nothing i have tried (usual ones i use) is successful. If i don't know my username i can't get my password emailed to me...so...this seems like a circle.
    I cannot click "create new account" because one exists for my PIN. 
    Where can i find the information i'm missing?? I am very frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    it should be simple. there are 2 ways you can create your   BIS (BlackBerry internet service account)account, if it was initally created using computer you can log on to your service providers BIS site, link can be found here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/software/internet.jsp
    once you are on the site you can log in using ur user id and and password and if you dont remember password    you can use forgot password option and then once logged in you can add new pasword for you email account.
    other way will be to click on email setup icon on your BB and then you can edit your email address and enter new password for your email address

    that would be much appreciated

    The send button will remain greyed outmunless your address is to a valid i message person.   Start from your contacts.  Find the person, then push message.  It will flip to i message, and ifnthe recipient is valid, the send button will be blue or green.  If it stays grey, the peron is not on i message.  Once youmcommincate with someone in i message, their neame will show up in the i mesage list within the app.

  • Do we have to pay for audiobooks twice on same account, different phones?

    My husband bought and listened to an audiobook on his iPhone.
    Now I'd like to listen to that same book on my iPhone. Do I have to pay for it again?
    It's not in my list of purchases or on my computer backup. I started to use the cloud about a year ago and he has just started using the cloud in the past month.
    Help please!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer.

  • I want to take everything off one ipad and put it on a different one. Same account, different machine. How is this done?

  • HT2534 How can i download from two different store with the same account?

    I live in both countries but my credit card is registered in a french bank, therefore it is not recognised by the Aussie store on itunes. There are apps or music i want to get form the Aussie store as well as music and other apps from the french one...
    Is it possible to have two stores under the same account????? I wish apple could fix this, which could result in more spending as you can buy from different store!

    Wait 90 days
    Why would you start a new account?  Why not just correct the original account?

  • How exactly can we use iCloud? If I have an Iphone4s and Macbookair, is it the same account? Cause every time I try to do the back up file its failed...am I having a two different accounts here. In iPhone and macbook

    Hi I am new with apple. So many things I need to learn about it. Espcially for icloud. Its interesting. But unfortunately I don't really know how to utilise it. Do I have 2 iclouds since I have iphone 4s and Macbookair? Are they different account? or can I merge it? Cause as what I can see in my mailbox for icloud, I have 2 accounts there. Please help me with this.

         Hi Rosdy, to get the most out of iCloud it is recommended that you use the same account between devices. Thus whenever you buy something on your phone it becomes accessible from your laptop regardless of whether your synced it over usb or not. *
         For more information on iCloud usage please click here.
    * This feature requires that both devices be on the same WiFi network.

  • I have 2 ipods on same account( 2 different kids in household) how can I separate them into 2 different accounts?se

    I have 2 ipods on same account( 2 different kids in household) how can I separate them into 2 different accounts?

    There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above:
    Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. If you've had no success with this you can have a look through the guide on this page: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

  • HT1495 I have just purchased a second ipod and have 2 computers can i use one ipod on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks,

    I have just purchased a second ipod and have two computers w7 and xp, can i use one on each computer with the same account. I have a different playlist on my second computer. Thanks.

    Sorry to ask, how do I do it please. I have my first ipod with the same account on both computers that have different libraries one of which I am building now. Do I have to de-authorise my original ipod on the computer that I want to use my new ipod on with the new library and then register my new ipod. I would rather do this than have 2 libraries on one itunes, but keep the same account details.
