'evening.

Having seen http://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/12/icloud-and-migration-from-mobileme-services-now-live/ I've just migrated my [email protected] account to iCloud. This was relatively painless.

However it keeps referring to this as an ID, which confuses me. I've always had a firstname.lastname AppleID which is different to my [email protected] MobileMe account - I had it before my MobileMe account. [email protected] is used for MobileMe (iDisk, email address, etc) and firstname.lastname AppleID is used for iTunes purchases (Music, iPhone Apps, etc), Apple Retail Store reservations, Apple.com support, etc.

Should this have been combined with my MobileMe account in the iCloud migration? Or am I now going to have one account for iCloud, and one account that has all my iTunes purchases? :confused:


I R CONFUSED
 
I think almost everyone is going to be in this position. We all had to come up with a MobileMe account address when registering for MobileMe. If you had bought anything from iTunes before that or had an AppleID for another reason (Online Store, Support, etc,), you automatically now had 2 accounts.

:confused: :rolleyes:
