When iCloud goes live, I want to use my @me account as my main account. Possible?

I have bought several hundred dollars worth of music, TV, movie, and game apps on my @gmail.com iTunes account. When iCloud goes live, I would like to start a @me email account that I will use with all apple products. How do I get all of my apps, games, music, TV, etc from my @gmail account name to my @me account name? Is there a way to transfer purchases?
Thanks for the help!

No way to transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another.
All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. This cannot be transferred from one account to another.

What is happening to iWeb when iCloud goes live?

My family has been a major user of iWeb, not to mention we were users of .Mac as well when that was still around. It allows us to have a private space where just our family and very close friends (not the masses like Facebook) can view our photo pages. If all I am reading is true and Apple is dropping iWeb. I will be very upset. I have been spending $99/year for the past 8 years just for this need. Clearly someone at Apple hasn't been thinking this through.
Is there official notification that iWeb will go away?

At the present time it seems apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that some new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ RSS Feed Widget
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on which does not offer iWeb or iDVD.
However, there may be some copies of the boxed iLife 11 still on the shelves that include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

I have changed the apple ID (email, but on my iphone , the icloud is stil asking me to log in whit the old email.And it is poping-up on every 10 seconds.I never used icloud, and i dont want to use it.I just dont know how to disable the icloud.

If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen).

When the phone is locked, you can pull up on the camera icon in the lower right of the screen to access the camera. If you have Control Center enabled in the lock screen, you can also access the camera that way.

HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

I want to use this phone w/o a verizon account or number, but I can't get past the set-up screen. Can I use this phone to surf there web only and get past setup

I just want to use the phone as a web browser using wireless, I don't have verizon, I can't get past the set-up screen. Can I use the phone without a verizon account?

I took it to Verizon and a counter person got it to work. she said one has to be persistent and eventually the screen goes away that was demanding the phone number I didn't have, it works now I'm happy

HT204053 I put my husbands apple id in when i started to set up icloud, but i really want to use my own. Now i'm stuck at the point where I'm supposed to tell it what to link and I don't want to link anything, just sign out and restart with my own. How

I put my husband's apple id in when I started to set up icloud in error. I realized I needed to change this right away and tried to sign out and restart with my own apple id, but it won't let me sign out in the middle of setting up. It says something about if I don't sync documents, all documents will be deleted from this computer, but I don't want to download all his work documents. Is there any way for me to start over and fix this?

Having signed out as suggested above, go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new Apple ID if you don't already have one. You will need a working email address which is different from that in the ID already in use.
The set up your Mac/device(s) as indicated here:

HT6154 Need help!! Got a new phone, was able to download info from the old phone and set up iCloud but now i want to use the old phone as an 'iPod' just for music, when i get into iTunes it now says the old phone is in restoration mode and to restore iPho

Do I restore the old phone? What should I do?

it now says the old phone is in restoration mode and to restore iPhone.
Hmmm...
That's a doozy. I'll have to think on that for a bit.
Quite perplexing indeed. A quandary you could say.
Not really sure what you could try...
Have you tried anything yet?

Spry menu works fine local and turns the whole web page white when it goes live. Please help.

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out with this problem. I have been working on it all day and I took the time to design nice buttons in Photoshop and backgrounds. It works perfect viewing it in my browser locally.
I have ran into a problem. My whole page turns white I can't see anything at all when i upload it live. I use hostgator webhosting business package if this helps.
I have made sure that I uploaded my SpryAssets folder with everything in it to the server. As you can see I changed the links to work with my website.

The code below it is what makes my website go white, you can't even see anything at all. Notice all i took out was buttons and then i added the spry code. The site will still work perfect without the buttons, but as soon as I place the spry code within the page anywhere it goes white and won't work at all.

I wonder
what a link to a style sheet is doing in the middle of your document. The placement of a link to CSS should only be within the head-section of your document
why a div has been placed right in the middle of a list. If you want to place the menu item in the middle, then do so using CSS on the a element.
why a form has been placed within the menu bar. Everything within the ul element will be considered part of the menu bar.
Clean up your code and all should be well.

HT4759 Can I download my information to another device from icloud if I dont want to use icloud anymore?

If I decide that I do not wish to use iCloud anymore, can I download my information from iCloud to another device?

Yes. On the other device go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud credentials and turn the data you want on the device to On. To keep the data on the device and without using iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iDevice.

When iCloud goes to back up on my iPad, I get an error "the last backup could not be close

iPad won't backup to iCloud - error message says "The last backup Could not be completed" - Have tried several times.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

I am installing LR. I want to read my old LR 3 files. When it asks do I want to use the upgraded catalogue or upgrade my old one what do I select?

I hope that some one can help with this. I am worried that I'll lose access to all my images if I make the wrong selection.
I think by trying to open LR I stopped the sync .. I did get a message about syncing to LR for mobile ... I don't even know what that is..
Specifically the message says:This catalogue was previously upgraded during the LR 6 update. Would you like to use the newer upgraded catalog instead. Then it lists my old and new cats and asks me to select one.

Hi I selected the new one. But now I have all my photos without any folders. Folders that exist in library have ? next to them
Obviously, you have performed some additional and incorrect steps if this is happening. If at any time, you imported the photos into LR 6, this was a mistake. If you have moved or renamed the folders outside of Lightroom, this was a mistake. Did you do any of these things? If you are on Windows and the photos are on an external HD, did the drive letter change?
So here is what I want you to do. Open Lightroom 3 (not Lightroom 6). Are there question marks visible in LR 3? If not, then you can fix the problem, I will describe how in a second, but if the question marks are present in Lightroom 3, then you have a bigger problem.
How to fix if Lightroom 3 shows no question marks. Go to Catalog Settings/General in Lightroom 3. Write down the location of the catalog file shown there. Now, close Lightroom 3 and open Lightroom 6. In Lightroom 6, use File->Open Catalog and point to the exact location that was stated by Lightroom 3.

I have money in my account but when I purchase, Itunes always wants to use my credit card. There doesn't appear to be an option to use the money in my account.

Every time I try to buy music, the suystem asks me to choose a payment option - which credit card. I have an itunes account with money on it. Why can't I get accesss to it?

Login to your account and set payment method to none.

When iCloud goes live, I want to use my @me account as my main account. Possible?
