Problem Solved! (Not)

So, I have this prob­lem with Apple that doesn’t boil down to “I’m not doing things the way they designed”.

You see, I want to use my iCloud email address as my pri­mary address in iCloud. How­ever, I setup my orig­i­nal iTunes account using my gmail address, and there is appar­ently no way to remove the gmail address as pri­mary in exchange for a me.com address.

Not a big deal — except that all my iTunes receipts and iCloud shared cal­en­dar noti­fi­ca­tions go to gmail.

I’ve been email­ing back and with Apple sup­port for over a month. Each exchange starts with the expected plat­i­tudes (my patience is impor­tant to them, thank you for being a cus­tomer, blah blah blah…).

What it’s come down to is this:

The iTunes sup­port team says it’s not an iTunes prob­lem but an iCloud problem.

The iCloud sup­port team says it’s an iTunes prob­lem, not an iCloud problem.

Ticket closed. Prob­lem solved.

What’s there to com­plain about?
