Why different Apple ID's for iTunes Store and icloud?

When you do the icloud/iso5 thing, it makes you create another Apple ID.  It wouldn't let me use the one I already had, so now I have two diferent Apple ID's and it's a pain.  I have itunes credit under one ID, and it won't show up in the other.  What are we supposed to do about that?  Syncing is deffinately the answer but I can't figure out how to do it.  I guess I need to go to the Apple store...unless someone knows how to do this?  Also, I have 3 devices (pc, iphone 4, and ipod 3) and they're all "ID mixed up as well!"  There's no rhyme or reason to it at all.  Is anyone else going throught this?

I don't know about that.  I'm using the same Apple ID for both my iTunes account and my iCloud account with no issues whatsoever.

  • Why is apple showing p0rnography on itunes store and ibooks even if we have explicit content is blocked?!

    Why is apple showing p0rnography on itunes store and ibooks even if we have explicit content blocked?! I am very unhappy about this. Especially being that it is plastered on the front page of itunes music store right now. (I am referencing S#X playlist by Omarion).

  • Different Apple IDs for iTunes Store and iCloud

    I am a MobileMe subscriber and need to switch to iCloud soon and I have a question about Music syncing, specifically about Purchased Music, not the Match subscription kind.
    My Apple ID for the iTunes Store is not the same as my MobileMe / iCloud Apple ID.
    Given the difference in IDs, will my Purchased from iTunes music successfully sync over all devices via iCloud? Or will iCloud not recognize my other (iTunes) ID?
    Thank you

    Or am I missing an essential point which is that even on iOS devices a person can sign into iCloud and iTunes in the Cloud separately?
    Yes: signing into the iTunes Store is a separate issue from signing into iCloud. I quote:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    When you first set up your iOS 5 device, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    In Settings > Store, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
    Mac:
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) iniTunes > iTunes Store

  • Why do search results in the iTunes store and the preview music window fail to load properly?

    Since I updated to the second update to iTunes 11, I've had problems with searching in the iTunes store and viewing the previewed music window. It had worked fine in the first iTunes 11 update from iTunes 10 but it has not worked properly since the second update. I've also tried resetting the iTunes store cache but to no avail.
    Screenshots here:

    See Apple Discussion link

    Essentially run iTunes as Administrater once and it should solve the problem going forward.
    Go to /Program Files/iTunes and right click iTunes.exe and select run as admin
    No need to do it every time, just once and than desktop shortcut icon will open iTunes with solved Store search display problem.

  • Why is apple blocking downgrade for iphone 4 and why apple is selling defective apps??????

    First thing i cant downgrade from ios4.3.4 to 4.3.3 why? secondly, why do there are defective apps in itunes store? and will my money will be refunded or not? why cant we try products for some hours to make a buying decision? there are thousands of questions unanswered, i just have device with me and apple is remotely controlling it, why are u blocking users freedom?????

    First thing i cant downgrade from ios4.3.4 to 4.3.3 why?
    Because doing so is not supported - primariy since the iPhone's baseband is often updated or changed with a firmware update. Since 4.3.4 addressed a potential security issue involving the download of a PDF document from a nefarious website, what is the reason for wanting to downgrade to 4.3.3?
    secondly, why do there are defective apps in itunes store?
    Because Apple doesn't do extensive testing with every single app. Apple primarily checks apps not accessing any private iPhone API's for security reasons, apps do not violate Apple's terms of use for the app store, and the app does what is says it does - based on the detailed description provided by the developer for the app. Just as Microsoft has never thoroughly tested or done any testing at all for every single 3rd party Windows app, Apple doesn't do any thorough app testing - that is the app developer's responsbility - no different for 3rd party apps on your computer.
    and will my money will be refunded or not?
    That is up to the app developer.
    why cant we try products for some hours to make a buying decision?
    With many apps, there is a free version and a paid version. You can try the free version first if available before purchasing the paid version.
    i just have device with me and apple is remotely controlling it, why are u blocking users freedom?????
    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    If this is how you feel, exercise your freedom to sell your iPhone. Use the proceeds to purchase a device you believe you'll have complete freedom with.

  • App store, safari, itunes store, and icloud not working osx 10.8

    Hey,
    I have a retina macbook pro 13" that i bought in january. It has been running perfectly fine until a few days ago the itunes store wouldnt load at all, no matter how long i let it load, only the 'Itunes Store" splashback page showed. I then also realised that the App store had similar problems, only it wasnt loading and returning an 'insecure connection' message. After searching a few forums and trying to solve the issues, it led me to test safari, which is also not working. The loading bar stops about an 8th of the way and doesnt load any further. Also imessages are no longer being pushed from my phone to my computer. This is not an issue with my internet or router, all other internet browsers work perfectly, and the problem persists when i disconnect from my home network and connect to a personal hotspot from my phone. There seems to be quite a bit of talk about this problem, but very little on a solution. i was hoping someone could help me maybe come up with a solution before i restore my macbook or take a trip to the apple store.
    Thanks,
    Pat

  • 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.

  • I keep getting the itunes update message and when I accept the terms and conditions it just keeps going back to tell me I have 3 updates itunes, safari and icloud and goes back to accept message without actually downloading?

    What is going on with itunes update?  I keep getting the message that updates are available for itunes, safari and icloud, but when I accept the terms and conditions and the install 3 items message, it keeps going back to telling me there are 3 updates available and have to accept terms and conditions again without it ever installing!! I am using a PC with windows vista.  Have not had this problem till December when I got an ipad and had icloud installed, don't know if there is a connection.

    I can't offer any help but it soulds like Apple goofed with the latest update. Many of us have the same problem. I may wait a week or so to see if Apple responds.

  • I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do that?

    I would like to pay for apple tv rentals with a different credit card from my iTunes Store. How can I do this?

    Any purchases made from the iTunes Store, on your computer, AppleTV, or iOS device, use the same billing information that is associated with your account. To pay with a different credit card, log in to your account and change the payment options associated with your account. If you want to use different payment options on different devices, you may want to consider utilizing multiple iTunes accounts, each with its own payment options.
    To learn more about changing your iTunes account information, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
