I can’t tell you how much I HATE iTunes match right now! Complete DAYS of wasted time, failure and frustration with Step 3 in the upload process of 70gb conflicts between two Apple IDs, purchased DRM music by me, using the same credit card etc… Now I’m locked out iTunes Match using my primary iTunes Apple ID until 1/17/12 due to bad advice from Apple’s Senior Tech Support this week with no recourse except a refund and then the inability to use iTunes Match for 12 months with that Apple ID. I feel cheated and angry. What is CEO Tim Cook’s email address?

this would be amazing. I want it so I can have a master ID then set sub ID’s for family members. With the current setup, my mother was receiving my iMessages (Strange?) and my iPad says it can’t change Apple ID’s yet I’ve never changed it on the iPad. Somethings not right.

You can change that old hotmail email that you use with your iTunes account, even the login username/email I have done that before and just recently for my sister when she changed her email address after years of using iTunes.

Some of us made Apple IDs long before we purchased MobileMe. I for one, attached my Hotmail to my Apple ID several years ago when I first got iTunes. Two years ago I purchased MobileMe and now I’ve got both IDs. I’m in the exact same boat as the author on this issue!

Fingers crossed that this happens. I too have a legacy Apple ID along with .mac and .me IDs. The latter two should be interchangeable but that doesn’t always seem to be the case.

I don’t know about you, but I use the exact same @me.com email address to login to both iTunes for purchases, and my MobileMe account.
