Ipad, Ios5, Itunes, Icloud, Iangry...

I usually try and avoid posting computer questions on here so please forgive me. I have tried to have a look on Apple forums, however snarky little s***s, have annoyed me. My wife recently updated her Ipad2 Ios5, I have telling her about cloudy goodness and tbh she was underwhelmed by the whole idea. But i persisted and now we have a problem…

Like most people who started using Itunes and Apple products her Apple ID is a Hotmail.com address, registered long before MobileMe was even a twinkle in Steves eye. However she also has a MobileMe account. Unless im being stupid, is there no way to combine the two? So that she uses the cloud as MobileMe but doesnt loose her purchased content, I tried changing the adress in account settings but it seems once you have MobileMe there is already an account set up, which has no content attatched…

Damn you APPLE!

Just keep your pants on.
