Using only one Apple ID

With all the ID questions/problems posted here, I have two additional questions:
1) I've used the same ID for the Apple Store and for MobileMe. I assume I can keep using that ID when I switch to iCloud - right?
2) I've always been able to use either xxx.me.com and xxx.mac.com (my MM account goes back to the .Mac days). They're the same account. Will this still be true after migrating to iCloud?
Thanks for any insights.

I am using only one Apple ID. The problem, since iOS 6, is the App Store purchased items screen just shows loading screen it finally crashes or gives the error message 'can not connect to Apple store'

HT5622 We family wants to use only one apple ID for all devices ie iMac ( 4 persons sharing desktop), IPads (2nos) how we should be going about sharing same

And how to create separate log in IDs for each person on IMac PCM.
I am first time user of IMac,

iCloud is not designed for multi-user use. If everyone has the same login, then they will all see the same emails, contacts, calendars and so on. If you want them to be separate then everyone needs their own Apple ID and iCloud account. Each separate iCloud account needs to be on a different device or a different user account on your Mac.
You should be aware that any one device can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts, so with more than three you will have to set up remaining accounts on another device - you can do this from iPads so you shouldn't have a problem.

HT204053 why does my ipad "Apple Store" app, not recognize me when i try to log in using my apple id? i use only one apple id for both store and iCloud and know i am keying correctly. hmmm.

we use a pc to hold all of our media but are two ppl in the household. we both log into itunes and apple store using our own passwords. recently on my ipad i was no longer able to upgrade/log in the apple store because when it asks for my password it prompts for my partners password and it doesn't recognize me. also, oddly, my partner added an app that i also want to add on his ipad. when i attempted to add that app using my apple id log in it thinks i'm him and prompts for his password on my ipad therefore leaving me no way to have that app. how do i get my app store to function again (recognize me) and how can we finally figure out how to separate the media so i don't get his apps on my devices and mine on his (and then not be able to access them b/c we don't share passwords)? please help.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

-The specific point:
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

Multiple devices using the one Apple ID

Hi
We have multiple devices (2 x iPhone and 2 x iPod Touch) that use the one Apple ID for our family. As we all have separate email accounts, calendars and contacts, do we need to create individual Apple ID for iCloud syncing and iTunes purchases or is it possible to destinguish devices use the one ID?
Appreciate any guidance here, as not keen on setting up new Apple ID's for young children.
Thanks

Sorry, just want to chime in and say that we have this issue too. We have only three devices, Mac, PC, and iPod touch. But we have two each of separate email accounts, address books, and calendars. We decided several years ago to use one Apple ID for iTunes only on one computer and the iPod. But how will several adults in a family share an Apple ID and iTunes login, but enable separate email, contacts, and calendars in iCloud? We really want this to work.
Thanks very much!
OH, wait - it looks like it is answered here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3102518
The answer is a little bit hard to understand, so I will keep reading. We did not have Mobile me addresses, so I guess we will create two new ones.
I'll post more threads if I find them.

I added a new post to my iTunes U course and it is not showing up on one of my student's iPads. She has only one Apple ID on the iPad. Any assistance is appreciated.

A new post to my iTunes U course shows up in my course both on my Mac and my iPad Air, as well as on other students' iPads, but for one single student. We have closed the app and forced shutdown. Student recently added more icloud space, but that is all. iPad is up-to-date in terms of iOS and iTunesU app. The student has only one Apple ID associated with her iPad.
We have reposted two more times. The second time the post showed up for a few seconds, but then disappeared. It does not show up under any other section (assignments, discussions, etc). Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Have you contacted Apple support?
I don't know if these will work, but you could have the student try the following:
logout of his or her iTunes U (i.e., iTunes Store) account using Settings
force-quit iTunes U
relaunch iTunes U
sign in to the newly launched app when prompted
I hope that helps!

How i can have only one Apple ID for everything my computer and tab and iphone?

How I can have only one Apple ID for evrything, my computer Iphone

Thats how the majority of people use iCloud. All you need to do is sign into the same account on all of your devices.

HT204074 Why can only ONE Apple ID be associated with a computer every 90 days?

We have 3 family members who all sync our iPhones/iPads/iPods to the same computer. My son can't access and download past purchases from his iTunes acct to our computer, because it says ONLY ONE Apple ID can be associated with the computer every 90 days, and I just downloaded a movie this week from my own account. Now, my son has to wait 90 days to access his own purchases. I feel I should have access to my purchases any time I want, as should my son and any other family members who use this computer. The number of devices authorized to access iTunes Store purchases is already set to five (which we do not exceed) so, why this additional restriction? I don't understand why Apple would restrict me from accessing our own purchases.

This bothers me so much. It is absolutely ridiculous. I use my Apple ID as well as a family member's Apple ID to download music.
Every once in a while I will purchase a song and it won't download correctly or will give me an error that my computer is not authorized, a solution I usually fix by deleting and redownloading the song from the cloud. This doesn't work, however, when it happens to both accounts within 90 days.
It is incredibly frustrating to me that I have paid for a song, it downloaded incorrectly, and I must wait 90 days to try downloading it again because of these assinine policies.

Logic 8 using only one CPU while bouncing

Whenever I bounce a project, Logic 8 uses only one CPU. It also spikes this CPU completely, with the CPU meter going into the red area, which is why I am rather keen on persuading Logic to distribute the load.
Any ideas?
(I've given the support document with tips on how to balance multi-core performance a good read, but it doesn't seem to say anything on this particular subject, and following the advice in the document does nothing to change my CPU load.)

Bouncing is a single core process. Just like rendering is in Final Cut Pro. This won't change until Leopard and Apple's ProApps get better at handling multiple cores.
It's redlining because the processor core is working as fast as it can. Computer processors don't just randomly run slower, they use their resources for the tasks at hand. If it only used 50% of a core, the bounce would take twice as long to process.

HT5824 Can I use only one (selected) folder from my documents in iCloud?

Can I use only one (selected) folder from my documents in iCloud for MAC and PC?

If the folders were created in the Photos app on the iPad, they don't really contain copies of the photos. They contain pointers to those photos that allow them to appear in the albums that you create. Consequently, they cannot be imported to the computer. Those albums are for local organization on the iPad only And cannot be imported.
You should be able to select the indicidual phots that you want to import, as far as I know. I can do it on a Mac using iPhoto or Image Capture, so I assume that Windows will allow you to pick and choose which photos you want to import.
