When I sign in to iTunes with my aol name no instructions come up to convert the account

Are you logging in, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, with an AOL username (e.g. without the '@aol.com') or the full AOL email address ? Only username accounts are affected

No, AOL email address accounts isn't affected, it's only AOL username accounts (without the @aol.com) that need to be converted
