Can I use my iTunes Connect account associated with my iOS Developers license to publish to the iBookstore?

No, sorry.

Separate.

Log out from one...log in to the other and use Safari's 'Empty Cache' menu to help clear the cruft if you stumble.

ok, so, i also have an iOS developer account- and i want to set up an account to publish iBooks - i enter my iTunes Store name and ID but apple says it is - already being used for an iTunes Connect account that distributes Apps. To continue with this application, you must enter a different iTunes account.

so, it's possible for me to create another iTunes Store Account with a different email address and name from the same computer??

so, K T you say "log out from one...log into the other" What other??? when you try to create an iBooks account you are asked to log in using your iTunes Store account- but if your iTunes Store account ID and password is the same as it is for iTunes Connect that is being used for ios dev you are told that you can't use that identity -

ok, so, i created a new iTunes Store account but that was not recognized when i tried to use it to create an iBooks account -

In creating the new store account i used a different name in the initial box where you eneter name, ID and password - but i had to use same name and info for the billing section

so i can't use my established identity and i can't create a new one!!!

what am i missing here??

I don't know what you did or what you tried or what hole you need to dig out of, sorry 🙂

You need a seperate ID. All new. Unique. If you did that properly and didn't wait for the process to complete, your ID may not have been recognized - in that case, be patient.

IDs can be managed at: Apple - My Apple ID

Thanks K T - but if you would indulge my idiocy further 😕

what i think you are sying is that i should go to MY APPLE ID and just change my ID to a different email address???

So, are we suppose to go into MY APPLE ID and switch the ID back and forth every time we want to go from iBooks to ios dev and vide versa???

thanks again

That is exactly how it works. Someone didn't do their information modeling correctly…

No one said to change your existing ID. Create another one just for your paid books account/activity.

Use the link I provided and click on the big blue button that says 'Create an Apple ID'.

No need to go there.

Just use the nearest 'Sign/log out' link, then log back in. You'll be given the chance to decide which to use when you log into iTunes Connect each time...which I'm sure you've seen w/your dev account already.

That's not correct, sorry. It's not that complicated.

If anyone is bothering to visit My Apple ID every time they use a different log in, they are doing too much work...it's just a waste of time. Just log out in iTC, as an example, then input the other login/pwd and go.

Oops, I misread the post. You are right, it's not necessary to visit My Apple ID, just to log out and back in with a different ID. But that shouldn't be necessary either.

Michi.

ok, yeah, i was making it much more complicated than it is - one good thing, it now seems really easy - thanks mucho!
