Why does only 1 of my 3 devices "associate" with the Cloud?

I understand that Apple's Cloud service for uploading will not be available til Fall.  But I also infer that tracks purchased from iTunes can at the present instant be accessed from the new "Cloud" providing it's done with the newest version of iTunes (10.3) and with an iPod Touch 3th or 4th gen. or an iPad 1st or 2nd gen.  However, when I connect my iPod 3, iPod 4, and iPad 1 to my computer with iTunes and go to my account, I'm told that only one--the iPod Touch 4th generation is "associated" with the Cloud.  Is is possible to "associate" all 3 devices with the "Cloud"?
Several months ago I followed the directions on Apple's web page and changed my I. D. number to a different, all-purpose I.D.  When I enter my old ID in my account, I'm told that I apparently have no device "associated" with the Cloud, so perhaps I should be grateful that at least my 8 gig iPod 4th generation is "associated" with the Cloud, provided I use my 2nd, newer I.D.  Still iCloud becomes more puzzling the more I try to get all machines and devices in synch.  Up to this point, the Amazon Cloud has been far easier to negotiate.

I probably "over-read" the Apple website hype about the advantages of creating a single personal Apple I.D. which would apply to practically all things Apple.  To quote:  "An Apple ID lets you personalize your Apple experience. Once you've created an Apple ID, you'll use it to access Apple resources where it's helpful to identify yourself. From Apple Discussions to iTunes to the Apple Online Store and everything in between, Apple ID is your passport to the extended Apple experience."
Hence, I created an "Apple ID," following the example "[email protected]"  (Who wants to miss out on a "passport to the extended Apple experience.")  However, I already had an ID (though it was not my Apple address), and apparently was already the benefactor of the benefits of the so-called "personal Apple ID."  Consequently, I now have two different iTunes IDs and two different passwords.  Apple has responded to my requests to have a single ID by saying that my request is for the impossible.  I simply have to remember both IDs and both passwords, entering both when attempting to use different computers and devices while downloading and taking inventory of my iTunes files.
So I'm pretty sure I've followed your suggestions already with respect to all 3 "eligible" devices, but I'll certainly give it another go-round.  From what you say, it appears that being "associated" with the cloud should not limit me only to an iPod Touch 4th generation.

  • Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

    Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • Why does my MacBook Pro not boot up with the Snow Leopard Disk?

    I have erased the entire hard drive on a 2011 macbook pro that had snow leopard on it. I was corrupted. I not insert my Snow Leopard Disk and the machine will not boot. I chose target mode to erase the hard drive from my mac book pro with Mt. Lion on it.
    Thank uou for any help,
    Ken

    Target mode?  Is there a second computer involved?  Why not insert the Snow Leopard disc in the computer on which you wish to install and hold down the C key to boot from it?
    If the disc came with a different computer it will not boot another model.  Retail discs also may not boot all model computers, even those that came with the same major version.  For example, some MBPs came with 10.6.6 but a retail disc may only be 10.6.3.

  • Why does my google toolbar not work properly with the new updates. It was such a convenience to use the old toolbar to go to places I had visited before. Now I cannot get those old addresses with anything but Firefox 3.62 or whatever.

    Why does Google Toolbar not work with the newer versions of Firefox.

    Google have stopped supporting Google Toolbar on the latest versions of Firefox. Apparently one of the reasons for this decision is that modern browsers already tend to support many of the functions that google toolbar provides.
    Firefox does allow you to specifically bookmark sites you have chosen, and also automatically remembers many of the sites you visit.

  • Why does my original Apple ID not work with the support community?

    I've been signing in with the same Apple ID for at least four years.  My username on these forums is JayhawkCWE.  When I tried to sign on this morning, it told me I had to make a new account. When I entered my preferred ID (my forum handle, not the Apple ID), which is my original ID and the one that shows me all of my asked questions (which is the only reason I really care about this...), it says it's already taken.  I'm not senile, I know my Apple ID and I know I've been using it for years.  What gives?

    I will email you directly.

  • Why does my iPhone 6 Plus alert me with the wretched tri-tone for everything instead of the sounds I designate?

    In my settings, under Sounds, I assigned purposefully a tone for each type of alert. But none of them work. When I get a tweet alert, I hear the tri-tone. When I get a Facebook alert I hear a tri-tone. I hate the tri-tone! What do I need to do to get my iPhome to alert me with the tones i designate to each type of alert?

    Did you use those 3rd party apps on an older iPhone and restored the new iPhone from that backup? If yes, maybe reinstalling the apps will help.
    I had a similar problem changing the sound for Whatsapp, until I found that there are extra settings within the app.
    Did you try only one other sound or multiple options? Maybe only sounds from the time before iOS 8 are working with FB and Tweet.

  • Why does adobe camera raw keep saving images with the incorrect white balance?

    I am having an issue when I edit images.  here is the scenerio:
    I choose 50 Raw files and open them in Camera Raw.
    I edit each individually - many of them have different white balances.
    Once I have each image how I want them, I select all and click done.
    Sometimes all the edits are saved correctly, but very often all the changes are saved correctly except white balance.  The program seems to take the white balance from one image and applies it to all the images.
    Why???  Very frustrating to have to go back and individually edit all the white balances again.
    Thanks!

    It seems to not happen if I slow down a few seconds before I click select all and then done.
    That should not be the problem, once you changed settings and hitting done they all should be applied immediately. It even is not needed to first select all, that is only needed when you need to open or save the files.
      But I still don't know why it would only change the white balance in every shot and not everything.
    If it happens again could you first in Bridge select one of the none changed files and with right mouse click menu choose select purge cache for selection?
    And can you provide more details about system version, app versions and file types?

  • Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

    Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

    Actually it does with Ethernet too: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2412?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
    On all Macs:
    The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
    Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
    Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
    On portable Macs:
    The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
    Expansion card slots turn off
    The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
    An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
    The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
    The optical media drive, if present, spins down
    Audio input and output turns off
    Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
    But see the note about selecting, "Wake For Network Access" in Energy Saver preferences.
    Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

  • Why does it say No bootable device Insert bootable device?

    Why does it say No bootable device Insert bootable device?

    Can i suggest you spend more time explaining the situation, what you are doing, what has been done recently, etc?   One sketchy line is not much help.
    That said, i will guess that yu are trying to turn on your mac, and it gve you that message, immediately.
    It means that soemthing has caused it to not recognize your hard disk and the OSX software on it.  It could be:
    1. a dmaaged disk
    2. corrupted software
    3. a firmware bug
    4. a hardware failure
    Most likely the software has been corrupted at least slightly.
    The best first step is to boot from your original CD and run disk diagnostics/ repairs on the hard drive.
    I hope that fixes it.
    Then go buy an external bootabl hard drive and begin making complete, bootable backups on  weekly basis.

    You can try cleaning the headphone jack. However, I suspect that th headphone jack needs replacement.
