You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

HT1420 i have more than 5 apple products. how can i get them to all be authorized under one id?
I have more than 5 apple products and I want to have them all autorized under one id. How do I do that for the itunes? It seems ridiculous that apple would limit me to 5 products or less.
The limit is 5 computers and as far as I know that can't be increased- are you including iPads, iPhones and/or iPod Touches in your products ? If so then they don't count towards the 5.

For some reason when I plug my ipod into my comp itunes freezes but my ipod says it is plugged and when I plug it into a different comp it works. How can I fix this?
Setesh, See if both computer has the same version of iTunes, if both are the same, then it is your PC, that has plug-ins which is in conflict it iTunes. ( normally it is the Antivirus or some plug-ins to beautify your screen)
If it is different, most likely the other PC has an older version of iTunes, so you should downgrade your iTunes to that older version, which your iPod interface well with.
Other probable causes,
you are using the USB 1.1 port at the front of your PC, and not the USB2,0 port at the back of your PC. so switch to the back.
Dont use any other USB devices, when you are syncing the iPod.
Dont use any USH Hub.
Have a nice day! -
Help!
I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.http://www.everythingicafe.com/quick-tips-how-to-delete-songs-from-your-iphone-i pad-or-ipod-touch/2012/02/14/

I have more than 300 CDs that I have downloaded to my computer and have purchased hundreds of songs from the iTunes store on my Mac. I cannot play any of this music now. How can I restore my iTunes library? I can see the music files, but they will not play. The message I get is that the file cannot be found. I have stopped purchasing any music from iTunes, and will not do so in the future unless this can be resolved. Why buy music if in the future you can't play it? I have not connected my ipod to my computer for months because of concerns that my music will disappear from there too.
What you see in iTunes is not the music but a pointer to the file that contains the music. Somehow these pointers have become broken. You may have accidentally deleted the file, or moved a folder, or moved a file, or renamed a folder, or renamed a file, or... iTunes is very unforgiving of you doing things to the iTunes folder unless you have it set so iTunes does not manage your music for you (in which case you really need to know how iTunes works)
If all your links are broken, or a large number are, then there are various options, none of them easy (unless you're lucky). One is when it asks you if you want to find the file that you say yes and then guide it to the file (which will probably be in a folder by artist, and then a folder by album name). Gets old fast if you have 300 CDs. Another is to undo what may have caused the links to become broken, if you can remember what it was that you might have done such as renaming a folder. Another is to just forget about your old library, ratings, and playlists, etc. and start afresh. Trash the library file in your iTunes folder, start iTunes with a blank library, then drag all your files to the new library. Another is to restore itunes from a backup you may have made before this happened.
Do you keep just media on an external drive? If you start iTunes without the external being switched on then it thinks the links are bad. Quit iTunes and start the external before restarting iTunes. You may have to scroll down through the tracks to "tickle" them into re-reading the link.
How do you have itunes set in preferences to manage your music? Have you done any changes to preferences recently, or moving folders, files, etc? Do you keep iTunes on an internal drive, or external?
In the many years of people complaining about broken links I don't think any way has been developed to mend them automatically. I saw one attempt to use Spotlight, but it didn't really work.
None of us work for Apple so it's up to you if you won't buy from them until it is fixed. We will try to help you fix it, because we're nice. -
I have more than I Apple ID can I combine the accounts
My music wasn't syncing on all devices, I think it's because they are on more than 1 Apple ID, can I combine the accounts?
Hi Heather,
At this time Apple IDs and the content associated with them can not be combined. See this article -
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
In particular -
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I am stumped and don't know what to do. None of my web pages will display any content only the bare bones of the webpage...or if I can get it to display content it's seems all garbled up. Help!
I don't know what will help at this point. You should never update a system that has problems, unless you're absolutely sure that the problems are caused by a bug that is fixed in the update. With your backups in an uncertain state, you should not update or do anything else except start a new backup.

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it. -
Hey all
I should export my music to another program, because I do also have this MP4, which needs some files. Well, I did that and it seems like Windows Media Player couldn't open the files, but then I go back to iTunes and I see all my files are gone. Nothing is left, and now I can't syncronize files to my iPod Touch without deleting all the existing files. So now the only thing I want to know, if it's possible, is how to import music (not from Apple Store) from my iPod Touch to iTunes?You can use one of the third-party programs discussed here to transfer non-iTunes purchased music to a computer.

I was struggling with creating an account without a credit card at first and then someone on here suggested I create my account through the actual website and I log onto the website without any trouble and onto Game Center, just nowhere else. It says "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store." and asks me to review my account information but when I click on review, it completely ignores my request. This is somewhat infuriating as I really would like to start using the App Store. Thank you for your help.
Hi annafrUk!
I believe this article will be able to provide you with some help regarding this issue:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store

When I download firefox from the official mozilla site on my imac it is downloading its files to my desktop, covering my desktop in junk and I can't get rid of it as it is part of the browser. Why is it doing this? Why isn't it downloading to the right place?
Usually the icon on a file will provide indication of hte application used to open it. Highlight the file in Finder and Get Info on it. It should say what is used to open it.
iTunes will not play all file formats. Even some formats such as mp3 which it should in theory play it will not play all versions of the format. Those mp3s may play okay in Quicktime but the file has some small aspect to it which iTunes will not recognize. -
My itunes has been lock for a few days. When I click on the icon, nothing happens. It is like locked or something. Any ideas why this happens and what I need to do to unlock it? Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Check in Add-ons to see if you have any toolbars installed:
[[Uninstalling add-ons|Uninstalling add-ons]]
Because the Ask Toolbar (a custom version I think) is sometimes installed (or offered to be installed) with other programs, such as Foxit Reader.
