Merging Apple IDs/iTunes Accounts - We Need It!

[Rigby]

Maybe I hadn't had an iCloud account associated with my iTunes ID then? I don't think I did.

Log in to icloud.com with your gmail ID, go to mail, click on the preferences icon in the lower left corner. What do you see in the account tab?

Yeah, I've never logged in to iCloud with my gmail, so when I do, I get a prompt to "start using iCloud." There's the problem I guess, right? I hand't activated it before.

How do you log in to icloud using the email associated with iTunes account? When I tried using my yahoo id, it doesn't recognize it and directs to forgot password.

Personally I wouldn't want the two merged. I have an ancient iTunes account back when it was as username (circa 2005). When I got my iPhone 5 I was forced to set up a new iCloud account and also log in with the iTunes account. Since you can do both during activation, I'm not worried about it. I also let my boyfriend sync music from my iTunes account while he has his own iCloud account that he uses for apps. He doesn't care about buying music, so I don't worry about him spending a bunch of money. If my accounts were combined it would make our setup more complicated.
