I have an account I use for iTunes. For reasons I cannot fathom, when I try to sign up for iCloud using that username/password, Lion comes back with "This Apple ID cannot be used to sign in to iCloud. Create a new Apple ID or sign in with a different one." I do NOT want yet another Apple ID and I certainly don't want to have one different from what I use in iTunes for purchases.

I am just about to make the transition to iCloud from mobile me but before I do that I am trying to change my apple id. Â
When I log in to the 'My Apple ID' page and edit my details, it will not give me the option to edit my apple id. Is there something else that I need to do or once you have an apple id are you stuck with it?Â

I'm sat here with my brand-spanking-new Air and it's feeling a bit alien. But I have a problem with my Apple ID. I can't change it. I have tried changing to a work email address and a .me address without success. What to do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have few questions with regards to the above. First here's the facts: I have existing .mac account, but never use it for Mail. Only for iTunes & everything else related to my Mac including this communityI've tried using MobileMe for a trial period and never subscribed to it after it was over. Therefore I also have a .me account under my (chosen) usernameI am currently using MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.3 I do sync my Mac with iPhone (or vice versa) via iCloud for many apps except Mail Now, I'm trying to enable Mail & Notes from my iCloud setting on my Mac. But it's asking me to create an email address (username@me.com). I tried keying in my existing .me account but obviously that won't work. How do I do this using my existing .me account or better if I can use my .mac account. Personally I prefer my .mac account of course

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy AppleTV keeps showing old podcasts which don't exist anymore in my iTunes library. Of course I can't play them because the file has since long been deleted. I don't see them anywhere in iTunes, so I can't delete them from my library.Â
I found the reason for this behaviour: those old podcasts are still present in my iTunes library xml file. I deleted this file and restarted iTunes. iTunes will create a brand new xml file from the original .itl file. However, the old non-existent podcasts are still present in the new xml file. So the error must be present in my .itl file.Â

I can't download imovie onto my mac! Every time I try, it says that I "need an existing version of imovie already installed" but I can't install one in the first place! I've checked my applications and everything.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a PC in the upstairs office with cable/DSL router for Internet (through Comcast). This service also has a wireless connection. We have a Macbook laptop which connects effortlessly to our home network and we use it all over the house. We simply clicked the internet symbol on the top right (looks like a little amphitheater), selected out network, entered the password and have been connected ever since.
Today we brought home a new iMac and set it up in basement office. Tried the same routine. Clicked on the internet symbol, selected our network, noticed that the signal is just as strong as it is upstairs, typed in password but that's as far as we get.
I've gone the rounds with the Assist and the Utility features. I've shut the Airport on and off. I've tried setting up a new network. I do notice that the iMac has a "self-assigned" ISP "and cannot connect to the Internet." Does this mean I can't ever connect? Do we need to replace the self-assigned ISP with our Comcast IP address?
I've read here and there that our router might have Macs blocked and we could add this iMac as a secure system to get on the network. But we haven't played with the router's settings because we wouldn't know how. Besides, the Macbook connects fine.
Does this have anything to do with TimeMachine?
I have a new AppleTV set up in my entertainment center on the other side of my house from my office, where my MacBook Pro is. Currently I have my U-verse gateway(which has a wireless router built in) in my home theater. The AppleTV is wired into the gateway. The signal from the gateway does not reach my office so I was able to hack a linksys router into a repeater bridge (different SSID as my U-verse setup). This allows me to stream my iTunes library, which is stored on an external HD (1.5tb) connected to my Mac, to my Apple TV.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy daughter recorded something on iMovie, but she wanted to import some video she took from our camcorder. She put the video on a DVD but she can't seem to drag the video onto her existing iMovie.
I called Apple's support service and they suggested I try loading the video directly from the camcorder but they couldn't help me with that as it's not an Apple product (the camcorder is a: Sony) They suggested to put the camcorder on some type of mode that the computer could recognize????
The other suggestion they made was to get a third party application that can "rip" the images from the DVD so it can be imported into iMovie. Again, they couldn't help me because it's not their product.
I'm not very really familiar with any of these things so I was hoping someone would be willing to help me figure it.
I have been trying to download Cloud 1.I put my Apple ID and Password in.It didn't take.I changed my password and it still didn't take.Also, when I tried to download mobile me, it wanted my 'member name and ID'.Is that separate? All I want to do, actually , is sink my contacts in Yahoo to gmail on safari.I was able to do that on Mail in Mac, but not on Safari.

When I switched to ICloud I thought my Apple ID and password would work for Apple store. It turns out they have a different Apple ID at the Apple store with a diferent password that I do not remember. HOw can I make the ICloud Apple ID and password work for all other platforms?

I just bought a $10 iTunes card and I want to by iMovie from the Mac App Store. (which brings my balance to $16.48) My problem is whenever I try to buy this product I'm sent to the billing page. I don't have a credit card so I select "none" and try to purchase iMovie again. But it just sends me back to the billing page. I don't want to buy another card in order to redeem something on the billing page so what do I do?

When i started using Apple products 2 years ago, i created a mobile me account based on the knowledge i had than...........
unfortunately in my transition into becoming an apple fan, i created another account using a me.com adress.
Now, on my iphone, ipad and mac i can login to " find my iphone" and " icloud" photostream, but on my macbook it just says " this is not your primary account".

My apple id is correct in my account and iCloud, but it does not work in the app store. In other words,I am able to access my apple id account and manage it; but not buy or update apps in my iPhone.This whole mess started when I updated to IOS5.

When I first set icloud up it wouldn't recognise my apple id but I made a new apple id and then managed somehow to get my apple ID for itunes store and icloud to be the same. However, I have just updated my iphone operating system and when it asked me in the initial setting up process for my Apple ID which is an email address it wouldn't recognise it again! Grrr! So the only way to get into my phone was to create another Apple ID for icloud on Iphone. Â
I now have one apple ID for my iphone icloud, for online icloud and for itunes purchases, and another for the support communities and icloud on my macbook! When I tried to log into the 'manage my account' with the new ID it switched mid process to my old one?! Why can't apple just allow me to manage my ID, where are the options?I can't upload my photostream from my Mac because the online icloud is using the new ID but I can't change the Apple ID in icloud system preferences anywhere!

My current ID, j_alexander, was created in a hurry and definitely not what I would have preferred.I have an email alias that I use as my primary email. I would love to know how I could change my Apple ID to this alias (replacing one with the other). I saw an article wherein there was an Edit option in the user profile section of [url]..., however I was unable to find the Edit link shown in the article.
