    Hi Kellyezvous,

     

    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.

     

    The conversion from AOL Username to Apple ID is legit, and you will not lose access to your iTunes Store purchases as a result of this change.

     

    For more information, see this Apple Support page:

     

    Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support

    You must convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID to maintain access to the stores and to content you purchased previously.


    Apple can't provide support for AOL Username accounts that aren't converted by March 31, 2015. The conversion process applies only to AOL Usernames. You don't need to convert an Apple ID that ends in @aol.com. Also, this transition doesn't affect any AOL services that you use with your AOL Username.

    Cheers,

     

    Jeremy
