Two iCloud accounts one with my iTunes Apple ID & other with @me account

I have a duplicate contacts in my Address Book and iCal after creating iCloud account, while searching for solutions I found that I have two accounts for iCloud in Address Book> prefrances> accounts and also in system preferences> Mail, Contacts & Calenders ...
The 1st account is for my Apple ID before I got iCloud ( [email protected] )
The 2nd account is my new iCloud email ( [email protected] )
I think that is the problem that cause the duplicate in my Address Book and in my iCal, What do you think? and How could I avoid the duplicate of my contacts?, Is there any way to merge the both accounts Apple ID and @me.com ?
Please Help
Note that: I already got two devices, my MacBook 13-inch, Late 2008 with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 and my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and i dont have a duplicate problem on my iOS device (iPhone 4) ..

Looks like you're not getting a lot of response to this. Too bad, I wish I could help.
I too, have a new duplicate ID and now my phone uses the icloud "itunes" id to purchase apps while the rest of my family is still using the old itunes id/password.
I don't have duplicates in address or ical though. Probably because I'm still in MobileMe and use that for syncing those. I am afraid to migrate all the way to the cloud. Everything is getting much more complex instead of easier for me.
This morning my iphone said my icloud account is full and I have to buy more to back up my phone, which used to be free. What is that all about? I remember reading that I would probably not need to purchase more, at least for a while. I have done nothing but follow the instructions on various screens. 2 weeks and I'm out of space.
For me, the icloud has done the opposite of what was promised. Complexity and expense. I'm very dissapointed and confused.

  • I have two iCloud accounts, my original one that I used for iTunes years ago which has all my content, apps etc and a mobile me one which I got when I set mobile me up which has all my settings etc, this is causing problems, can I merge them?

    As I said I have two iCloud accounts, both do different things, i.e. my original iTunes account has all my app's and music etc, and then also the account which was set up for me when I set up a 'mobile me' account has all my calendars, contacts, settings etc, how can I merge these or even easily set my settings etc to go to my older iTunes account, I have tried to set up family sharing and all I can share is my calendars not my apps because they are with another iTunes account.
    I am also a little concerned that my fire vault has just set its self up using the mobile me account, if I was to get rid of an account I imagine this would be the easiest one to ditch then what would happen to all my encrypted data?
    Many thanks for your help.

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

  • How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

    MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

    ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID

    No really.  See:

    You can resolve the Messages and similar FaceTime problem by first setting them up using the Apple /iTunes ID email address and then adding another email messaging/calling email address and then deleting the Apple/iTunes ID email address.

  • Photostream not working - two iphones, one itunes account, two icloud accounts

    Hello,
    My wife and I both have iphones (both 4s). I have had mine for some time and she got hers last week.
    We have one itunes account. We have two icloud accounts.
    We cannot get shared photostreams to - my phone will not receive invites from hers. It works the other way round though.
    All the settings are correct and switched on.
    Please don't send me to the FAQ page as I have tried everything on there to no avail
    Thanks
    Matt

    The quickest and easiest thing to do is take the desired iPhone and connect it to the desired iTunes account. This most likely will erase and data on the iPhone and replace it with the data from the itunes account it is connected to.

  • I have two iCloud accounts .mac and .me. My contacts are duplicated 2 and 3 times. I only want one account.

    Somehow, I ended up with two iCloud accounts. A .mac and a .me. I only need one but can not make the .me the primeray one (it tells me that the email is already in use). Anyways, I also have my contact records duplicated 2 and 3 times. I went to the Apple store in Beijing (I'm in China now) and they did not seem to know much about iCloud. They told me that I have to erase my contacts on the iPhone and iPad and then manually erase the duplicates. Is there another way to do it? How can I set up iCloud so that I only have one account?

    You can't delete an iCloud account.  You can, however, sign out of that account and just stop using it.  Then sign in to your second account on all devices account.

  • TS3988 Can I have two iCloud accounts on one device? / Paul

    Can I have two iCloud accounts on one IPad?

    Yes, you can add a second ("secondary") iCloud to a device as mendi1 stated.  There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts.  Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, syncing Bookmarks and Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice.  Also push email only works in the primary account; only fetch mail is supported in a secondary account.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020.

  • HT4436 I ended up with two icloud accounts.  They have different purchases.  How do I combine them?

    I have two iCloud accounts, Each has different purchases on them.  One was before I got married the other after, with a different email account With my new last name.  How can I combine these together? 

    Unfortunately you cannot merge two different Apple IDs and combine purchases in just one account. Apple does not let you do that. (See also: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622?viewlocale=en_US)

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream.

  • Reminders App does not work on Yosemite with two iCloud accounts.

    The Reminders App does not work on Yosemite (10.10.1) with two iCloud accounts. It seems like when there are two iCloud accounts connected in Yosemite (10.10.1) the plist file for Reminders disappears.
    I have tried restarting Reminders; restarting the mac; starting the mac in recovery mode to repair the disk and disk permissions; and starting the mac in recovery mode and reinstalling OSX.

    Yes sharing Reminders list works. The problem is, I have one shared iCloud account with a colleague (shared calendar, Reminders and email). It makes it easier to run our business with a single shared iCloud account...I know it's not the typical usage.

  • How to sync two iCloud accounts with MS-Outlook?

    Hi People!
    Me and my wife have iPhones and each of us has a personal "[email protected]" account.
    We share the same desktop computer at home, and I am wondering how to bring both accounts info (e-mail, contacts and calendar) to the MS-Outlook.
    Does anybody knows how to do so??
    Some info:
    -We really share the desktop, i.e., we both login using the same ID and we don't want to create separate Windows accounts
    -We don't want the contacts to get mixed.
    -I already configured the iCloud Control Panel to bring my personal iCloud info into the Outlook, and it is working fine
    -I simple couldn't find a way to create a second iCloud Control Panel to configure my wife's iCloud account.
    Thanks for the help!
    Marcello.

    You cannot merge two iCloud accounts.
    you can delete and keep one iCloud informations on iPhone and then connect to other one, then you just will need to merge the informations.
    But you will always have the 2 diferent iCloud accounts.
    keep me posted
