Why a new user ID after logging in with Apple ID
Trying to get support: I login with my Apple ID. Next screen asks me to create a new user I'd. Since I have one I use that bit an error message says it is already taken - yes, its mine but I cannot find a way to login with a user I'd for the forums versus an App!e user ID.
Also when trouble shooting my Apple ID I want to make my primary email address the same as my Apple ID. There is even a button to do this but I get another error message that there is an Apple ID associated with it. That's a little circuitous since that's the purpose of the button. All in all, Apple have a totally confused and redundant process here. Any idea why I can't log in with a user I'd? Heck, I'd settle for logging in with my Apple ID which doesn't seem to work in these forums. To write this, I created a new user ID thus buying in to the multi-duplication of apple ids and user names.
