how to have one email ID and one password for all devices for Apple ID

So got into this site with an ID and password but not always working on the rest of my devices. How do I change from an me.com, mac.com and other emails to be the same? Actually to get on this site, I use a non email ID and a password.


Thanks

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), iphone 5, ipad 2, mini iPad, Apple

Depends upon what exactly that you want to do, and where. You can log out an account for the stores on a device by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tapping 'sign out' on the popup, and you can then log in with a different account - any content downloaded by an account will remain tied to that account (content can't be transferred to a different account, nor can accounts be merged), so only that account can potentially redownload its purchases, download updates to its apps, and do in-app purchases in them.


For the cloud : Settings > iCloud > Sign Out

For Messages : tap on the id in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive

For FaceTime : tap on the id in Settings > FaceTime

Actually, that hasn't helped since all my devices already have IDs/passwords and some don't accept others etc. Became a real mess. Some are me.com and/or mac.com while others something else. When I go to change them at the sites I get a run around with 'things' not being accepted etc.


That's why when i get a chance and courage, I'll try to cancel them all [ perhaps except for what gets me into this site ] and start over. It's been a mess.
