If you set up your Apple ID using the recommended manner, they should be the same. You set up your Apple ID using an email address. then you create a password that you can use for the Apple ID. Your Apple ID and password will work in iTunes as well. However, some people create additional Apple ID's which can cause problems. It is best to stick with just one.


Having said all of that, why are you asking?

This may not be an insurmountable problem. You can simply stop using one of the Apple ID's. If you have not purchased anything with one of the IS's, that would be the one to stop using. You would also want to remove any credit cards associated with that ID if you abandon it. Even if you have made purchases, if you only made a few of them, you can still quit using that ID and purchase or download the purchased content again.


What exactly have you done with each ID? I assume that if you created an ID for iTunes, you have made purchases with that one. Please provide details about what you did
