What's a legacy pre-email one? Does that date back to before iTools or something? I'm pretty sure I'm on my original Apple account from back when it was iTools

What's a legacy pre-email one? Does that date back to before iTools or something?
I'm pretty sure I'm on my original Apple account from back when it was iTools and then .mac and finally iCloud. If one of those transitions didn't carry over, then maybe it's from 2004ish when I needed an account to redeem Pepsi caps for iTunes downloads.
But I've heard the "I accidentally have purchases on 8 different Apple accounts" story from enough people that the account/license management is clearly a problem that needs dealing with.
- mmastrac 6y agoI can (or at least could - haven't tested for a while) sign in with my "apple username" that doesn't contain an @ sign at all.
- wlesieutre 6y agoAh, perhaps mine was that way at once point and switched over when I changed email addresses.
- thewebcount 6y agoIf you care about it, you should try again, as they recently sent me an email about purging such usernames. I don't recall what the deadline was, but it's coming up.
