HT204053 How do I combine 2 apple ID's to one?

I just got my first iPhone. I had an Itunes Acct. but didn't realize I made a different Apple ID when I started using the new phone...Can I combine the 2 ID's to one?
Or just use theiTunes gift card until it reaches $0 balance then only use the ID i want to use?
THANKS, K

  • HT204053 how do i combine 2 apple ID's?

    I have two apple ID's and rescent pre-ordered an album. I then received an email notification stating that it was ready to download. Checking my iphone and ipad I realised that it wasnt available on either. so i searched itunes and clicked purchase. From previous experience I thought it would display a message saying that I had already purchased this item. It didnt, and now checking both accounts which i didnt realise I had are showing this purchase.
    What I want to do is combine my apple ID's into one, so that all my past purchases on both will be available on one. weird thing is I think both ID's are linked to one email address, although i do have a icloud email also. Its all very confusing.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Ah, now you're talking about itunes store and itunes match.  The itunes store account is not the same as the icloud account (the two may use the same Apple ID, buy they can be different).
    As for itunes match - you cannot merge purchased music from two itunes accounts.  Using one of the itunes accounts (call it A) and icloud account, use itunes match to sync the music to the cloud.  Then purchase other missing songs that are not part of A (but were in the other account) and that will add them to icloud match.

    You can't, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

  • HT204053 How do I combine multiple apple ids

    Does anyone know how to combine multiple apple id's?

    Prior to the 8.0.2 my iPhone, and iPad and the iMac (update 10.9.5) used both our original iTunes id (which became our apple ID as well) AND my own personal me.com apple ID but now it is either or but not both. Now my iPad gets some iMessages, my iPhone gets iMessages as 2 separate conversations, but my iMac does it the old way and just combines it all into one conversation
    Can anyone help me add it all back together?

    Unfortunately for almost everyone who had an iTunes account prior to iCloud, this is not possible.

  • HT1414 how do you combine two Apple id's?

    I changed email address and now Itunes thinks I am two different people.   How do I combine with apple account and Itune account?

    Yes. You can sync multipl iDevices on the same computer using the same Apple ID. You can each have different configurations of apps, books, music, etc. or have identical configurations. In this way, however, your common data - contacts, mail, calendar will be the same on both iDevices.
    The Apple ID doesn't distinguish one phone from another, only how the phone will sync to a computer. The Apple ID is how iTunes knows to which computer a phone syncs. And, the Apple ID determines who is the registered owner of downloaded and purchased items via iTunes.

  • How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
    While Im logged in I plug in  my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
    Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
    Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

  • How do I change my Apple ID on only one device?

    How do I change my Apple ID on only one device? I inherited my husband's iPhone 5. He cleared it but I set it up with same Apple ID so we could share same iTunes account. However, I realised that there are inconveniences such as not being able to Facetime each other. In addition, his iTunes account is UK-based and we'd like to also have a New Zealand iTunes account for various reasons.

    Go to settings/icloud and sign out. Then sign in by creating a new Apple ID. Do the same in Settings for Messages, FaceTime and iTunes & App Store. Next, link your Apple IDs using Family Sharing so you can still share music and apps. Family Sharing - Apple Support

    How can I transfer my apple ID acc from one Itouch to another ?

    No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

  • How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

    How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

    I found out how to do what I wanted and I'm giving my steps in hopes that it might help someone else.  I wanted to put several photos from a file onto a new blank image.  This is what I did.
    1.  Create a blank page.    File/New/ Blank File.   Put in the size.  I used 8x10.
    2.  Bring the photo  you want to use into Elements as you always do. It will list along the top next to the blank sheet.
    3.  Choose SELECT (top of screen)/ Select All.
    4.  Choose Edit/Copy   or Command "C"
    5.  Click on the Blank File.   Chose Edit/Paste  or Command "V"
    6.  Click on Image/ Transform or Command "T".  There should be a dotted line around your pasted image.  You can then move and adjust the image to how you want it.  When finished, press the check-mark on lower right of photo.
    7.   Repeat this with all the photos you want on the new blank file.
    8.  You will see on lower right of Elements,  the background layer and as many layers as you have photos.  These layers need to be permanently placed on the background layer. Go to Layers and press Merge Visible.  This will merge all layers to the background.
    9.  Save as and you are done.
