Two accounts two computers an iphone and a mess

hi
i have a music organization mess on my two networked macs and iphone.
here are the conflicts:
different music on each computer, want an entire set on at least one, hopefully both
do not want duplicates
i seem to have bought music under a different mac account a few years back and when i logged in as that i got a real mess with permissions
i just want a master location for my music and eventually make the office machine the sync for my imac
thanks

Figure out which computer is your main one.
If there is anything you want that is not already on that main computer, put a copy there and add it to the iTunes library. For moving the copy over you can use a USB flash drive or any convenient medium.
As you have purchased content from more than one account, make sure the main computer is authorized to each account from which you have purchased content. This is done with the command Store > Authorize this computer.
Once your iTunes library is fully built on the main computer, use the main computer to sync your iPhone.
If you want to have stuff on the secondary computer, worry about it at a later date. That is a secondary issue.

How do I set up a new iCloud account separate for my iphone and ipad?

I have an old iCloud account for my iphone and when I bought an ipad last year I used the same iCloud account. I now have no storage left and my iphone won't back up. I want to upgrade my iphone soon but don't want to lose all my photos, contacts, etc.
I have spent the last hour trying to create a new iCloud account so I have two separate ones for my iphone and iCloud, to no avail. Apple don't seem to have any information I submit and I am just going round in circles updating passwords! And re-enters new account details. I haven't received an email registering my new iCloud account.
Can anyone help! Can I create two iCloud accounts? Why can't i! Even though I am using two separate email addresses.

If it's stuck on verifying it's because she never responded to the verification email that Apple should have sent to the primary email address she used for the Apple ID she set it up with. She should check her inbox and spam/junk folder for this email and click on the Verify Now link to verify the account. If the email isn't there, she can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under her Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
Or, you can just delete the account (which is a misnomer since until verified the account isn't really created).

You cannot combine two different Apple ID's into one ID.

TS3276 I'm now having trouble getting mac mail to work on my mac. The mobile me account works great on iphone and ipad but it won't connect to my mail account. Password is correct. What else can I do? Using OS10.68

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

I get an error message saying itunes could not sync mail accounts. because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. It asks that i close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone and sync again. Is it requesting that i delete my email accounts?

Can two accounts just use one macbook and one iphone.error occurred talking to the iTunes store

I have two accounts(A and B), of course I just use one iphone and one macbook.
but now ,the problem is,
the account A can use xcode organizer to upload App,
and the account B can't upload in the same MAC and Xcode,
the error message is: error occurred talking to the iTunes store
and the console print: *** Error: An error occurred while deserializing the JSON request. Error Message - Invalid JSON character read at index 0
(of course if I change from account B to A, upload success）
it cotinue for three days, of course there are many people have the same problem.
must I buy another iphone ,another macbook,and install another xcode
I am so sad.
thank you

the problem is , .ipa can't upload by(in) account B
I think the bug can be two possible list blow
      1. the .ipa is wrong
      2. the account(B) is wrong.
if   the .ipa is wrong
the .ipa can't upload by any account (account A or account B, just change the identifier and the sigh identity)
but if the .ipa can upload success by account A,
so , the .ipa(program) is right.
then, there is exist only one possible,   the account (B) is wrong,
K T , do you thine my logic for this problem is right

I have created two accounts for the same purpose and now I want to mix them without loosing anything. How do I do that?

Hi,
I have an Iphone and an Ipad with one email. There I have downloaded 3 ebooks.
Yesterday, I created an account at ID Adobe with another email. I have downloaded an ebook. I tried to downloading the other ebooks (I already have in the other devices), but was not able due to the a message related to license. I believe the different emails account is the reason. Please help me out. I thought that just my universities ID would be enough, but it is not.
How can I fix this problem without loosing any downloads?

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

Two accounts one one iPod Touch and Computer

Here is the setup that i want and want to know if it is possiable and if so how. So my parents have the iTunes account password and the reason that they will not tell me is becuase there is a credit card tied to it and don't want to to spend more than i need (even though we only use gift cards), so i see where they are coming from, and i agree with them. So my idea is to have two accounts. The main account, which holds all of the media that we bought, like music movies and apps, and then make another iTunes account for the iPod Touch that i will know the password to and can get free apps and put my own gift cards on so i will have my own 'gift card money' and becuase i won't enter a credit card on this account i cannot overspend more than my gift card has. The only catch is when i sync it back to my iMac which has all the iPod's/iPad is connected to and the family accounted synced to it wilcan i authrize the computer to be with 'my' account so that it will show u[p as able to by synced and that teh free and paid apps that i buy with mu money wil be able to be authorized to be played or used with the family account so everyone can use the content i buy?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.
