HT201269 how to merge two icloud accounts

I have an Iphone 4s & I bought a Iphone 5S but I have two Icloud accounts instead of one. Can someone help me merging both accounts into one.

You can't merge Apple IDs. If you just created a new one, stop using it. Don't buy anything using it. Sign out of it on our new phone and sign back in with your original Apple ID.

How to merge two iCloud accounts?

By some stupid mistake I created two iCloud accounts. How can I merge them?

You cannot merge two iCloud accounts.
you can delete and keep one iCloud informations on iPhone and then connect to other one, then you just will need to merge the informations.
But you will always have the 2 diferent iCloud accounts.

How to sync two iCloud accounts with MS-Outlook?

Hi People!
Me and my wife have iPhones and each of us has a personal "[email protected]" account.
We share the same desktop computer at home, and I am wondering how to bring both accounts info (e-mail, contacts and calendar) to the MS-Outlook.
Does anybody knows how to do so??
Some info:
-We really share the desktop, i.e., we both login using the same ID and we don't want to create separate Windows accounts
-We don't want the contacts to get mixed.
-I already configured the iCloud Control Panel to bring my personal iCloud info into the Outlook, and it is working fine
-I simple couldn't find a way to create a second iCloud Control Panel to configure my wife's iCloud account.
Thanks for the help!
Marcello.

How do I merge two iCloud accounts?

I accidentally created a different iCloud account from my old Mobile Me and an entirely new one. The old Mobile Me one wasn't working on all my devices, but the new one is, so I want to merge the old into the new. Is that possible?

To move contacts between accounts:
Go to users and groups and choose only your iCloud Contacts to display. If you are logged into two iCloud accounts you will need to make sure you select the right one.
Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
Make sure your iCloud (the one you want to keep) account is your default account (preferences > general).
Select All iCloud contacts (the one you want to keep) from users and groups.
Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
Select All contacts in users and groups
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

How to merge two Apple accounts by migration

Hello to you all
My question relates about merging two apple accounts.
Having two accounts is an issue (for instance when you start setting up Family sharing, or trying to get phone calls on your Mac)
As we know, merging two accounts is alas (still ?) not possible.
But it should be possible to address the issue it my migrating data.
As many people, I have two accounts:
Account A: [email protected], with all my purchases (iTunes, apps, machines)
Account B: [email protected], with my calendar, contacts, bookmarks, photos...
The best possible option seems to keep account A:
- Transfer the data from B to A
- Possibly transferring the [email protected] address into A
- Close B
About the data transfer:
- Transferring iCloud documents is easy (using the Finder)
- Transferring contacts, events bookmarks is also easy as they can be exported (ex .VCF or html)
- Transferring Notes can be done by moving the notes from the iCloud list to the On my Mac List
- Transferring Passwords and Photostreams is difficult (No Export solution for KeyChains, No way to transfer ownership of a photo stream)
- I do not know yet about transferring the iCloud email address [email protected] into the [email protected]
So my questions are:
1) Do you have any idea about transferring Passwords in KeyChain from one iCloud account to another ?
2) Do you have any idea about transferring ownership of a photo stream to one iCloud account to another ?
3) Do you have any idea about the email address transfer
4) Do you have any other way to do this ?
Thanks for your attention
Kind regards

The easiest thing to do would be to use an iOS device, such as your iPhone to migrate the data from one account to the other. You can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign out of account B, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide your password when prompted, then sign back in using ID A to create a new iCloud account and choose Merge when prompted to upload the data. This will not migrate notes, which as you said, can be dragged and dropped between accounts on your Mac.
This will also not move your existing iCloud email account. You cannot move an iCloud email account to a new iCloud account. You would either have to switch to the new @icloud.com email account that goes with your new iCloud account, or continue to use the existing email account as a "secondary account" To do this, you would go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud on your iOS devices (and System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud on your Mac), sign back into account B and turn on Mail. Just be aware that, at least on an iOS device, this would not be push email as push is only supported in the primary iCloud account.
Photo stream cannot be moved between accounts either, not can it be enabled in a secondary account. If you want to keep your photo stream photos you'll have to either save them to your device, or add them to a shared album before signing out of the existing account (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). Another option would be to import them to your iPhoto events, then add them back to your new photo stream using iPhoto when you sign into the new iCloud account on your Mac.
For iCloud keychain, I believe you can turn it off iCloud keychain and you will be given an option to keep a copy of any saved passwords and credit card information on your device. Then set up iCloud keychain again once you are signed into your new iCloud account.

HT204053 Question about merging two iCloud accounts?

Before I understood how to use iCloud properly I set up two completely different iCloud accounts (one for work and one for personal) but now I want to merge the two into one. How do I do that and keep all app purchases and all information?

Unfortunately, you can not merge two accounts. See also: Apple IDs and iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

How to Merge two user accounts(duplicate accounts) in SharePoint 2013?

Hello,
There are 2-3 user accounts with the same name. I want to merge those accounts in one account with only one name. How to do it in SharePoint 2013? Is there any PowerShell command or script to do that?
Please Guide.
chirag

Hi chirag,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the user accounts which have duplicated names in SharePoint 2013.
Were there duplicated user accounts in Active Directory?
If not, the user may had two accounts in AD and one of the accounts that doesn't exist anymore is still used in SharePoint.
Please check if there is any permission assignment to this user, remove all their assignments and add them again only for the valid account.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

How to merge two user accounts?

I have two user accounts I would like to merge into one. What would be the easiest way to go about doing this? I am mostly concerned about moving files, including preferences files, handling the mail accounts and browers bookmarks shouldn't be too troublesome for me.
Thanks

My favourite way to move files from Account A to Account B:
1) Log in to the A account.
2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to the B account.
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

How can I proceed to merge two iCloud accounts?

I have 2 accounts: the [email protected] account linked with itunes and all my apps on the iphone and the [email protected] with all the emails, documents in the cloud etc.
How should I procede to consolidate the 2 into one account?

You can't merge accounts.
If you want to use just one account, you need to use the account that you currently use for iTunes, otherwise you will lose all your purchases.
If you log out of the other account in iCloud, you will offered the option of saving certain data to your device which you can later merge with your preferred ID data when you sign in. This does not include mail, notes or photos, but there are ways you can save this data if you plan ahead.

Is there a way to merge two iCloud accounts ?

I have a Mobile Me account, and an Apple account which I use with iTunes (with a GMail address).
With iCloud, each of them have been linked to iCloud.
It's not quite easy to have two accounts, and as Mobile Me is going to end, I'd like to merge everything (calendars, contacts,...) into the GMail account.
Is there a way to do that ?

Apple has absolutely no word on whether they will allow this in the future, but for now, no, it's not possible to merge IDs. You can set up two accounts on your device for iCloud (one for syncing, one for purchases). Apple was at least kind enough to give us that much: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

HT5527 is there a way to merge two iCloud accounts?

I have two Apple IDs, one I used to set up iTunes and that syncs to my Phone and Computer, and an old MobileMe account that I mostly used for syncing my calendars, contacts and storing files online. I was able to sync my contacts but I'd like to have access to my old MobileMe email address. Is that possible?

Not that I know of.

How to merge two itunes accounts on two different computers?

When I originally set up my iTunes account I did not have my own laptop. I used my sisters laptop for this which now has her own iTunes account stored on it.
However, my tunes which I have purchased are also part of this account.
Obviously my sister is fine with me having access to these tunes, however I would like to have them stored in the account I have set up on my own laptop now that I have my own device.
Is there any way I can merge both accounts or the content of the accounts without losing anything we have purchased or uploaded?
Is this 'merging the libraries?', I didn't think it would be as they are on different computers?
Any help here would be great as I am driving my husband mad with this!
Thank you!

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for this.
Do you think there is any way to get the content of the libraries onto one account?
Would home sharing work just to facilitate the movement of the tracks?
Thanks again!
