Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

  • HT2204 I have a different email address and itunes will not allow me to use my new ID! I cant download anything!

    Why is itunes not allowing me to use my new email address? Itunes wont authorize to me to dowload anything - I haven't accessed Itunes for over a year during that time my computer crashed, I had to change email addresses and things got lost...like passwords and so forth and so on...I recieved two emails to [email protected] from itunes saying all was good and then all wasn't good. Please, can you help me!

    I suggest you go to Apple's ID site, log in and update everything. Then you will surely get a confirmation mail.
    Once all is done, you will most probably be able to log in to the iTunes store again.

    Hello mattyb316,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Do you recognize the email address? If so, you’ll want to contact the previous owner and have them remove the device from their account:

  • On my itunes there are many songs that will not play due to being purchased under a different email address and password from the one I have now how can i get these songs to play?

    I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?

    You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
    NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different email address and computer

    How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different Apple ID (email address) on a different computer?

    You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

  • My husband and I share the same computer at home with different email address and apple IDs . My question is can I download music from my itune page to his Iphone?

    Can I Share the itune music that I purchase with my husband even if we have different Apple ID passwords?

    No, you cannot have the same primary email address used for two separate Apple IDs.
    However, you can sign into the same email address on your separate devices for the purposes of receiving mail.  Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Add Account.
    Apple IDs are for using Apple services, like the App Store, iTunes, etc.
    Email addresses (while used as the NAME of an Apple ID), are separate entities.

  • I changed my Apple ID to a different email address and can no longer play old songs

    Some (but not all) of my songs that I purchased before the change are now asking for authorization from the account with the old email address. I cant authorize with the old email address because the account has been disable. What can I do to get arround this?

    What happens when you try to log out of your account on your iPad and iPhone ? For the stores you should be able to log out just by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (or Settings > Stores depending upon the iOS version), and you can then log back in with the updated version of the account.
    For the cloud Settings > iCloud > Sign Out (or Delete Account).
    If you are asked for the password for the old account when logging out of iCloud : If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Trying to login to icloud and its showing a different email adrees and im not able to change it

    Trying to log on to icloud (on my Phone) to update, but is stating a differnet email address and I'm not able to change it.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

  • App updates asking for different email addresses

    This is so annoying, certain Apps that require updates are asking for further security details. I have now used two different email addresses and now another App needs updating and this also requires further security questions, the problem is each this happens it won't accept the previous email address
    It appears each time this issue arises, you need to have a different email address. Can anyone help, it's driving me mad

    My husband and I both have iphone 3gs. iTunes on one home PC, there are two apps that he cant update cuz it asks for my password on his phone w/ my email already filled in. On iTunes I clicked on the apps and then FILE>Get info and I see that it says I was the original person to get app. But it never did this until maybe the last 2 updates he did for the phone. He thinks its all my fault of coarse. Can someone please help?
    p.s. If he tries to download a new app, there's no problem.

  • Sending Invites From Different Email Addresses

    Howdy--
    I have set up two calendars on my Mac Calendar, one called "Home" and the other called "Work".  When I send a Calendar invite to my wife for a "Home" event, I want that invite to be sent from my personal email address (currently my "home" email address listed in my contact for myself in Contacts) and when I send a Calendar invite to a business colleague for a work event, I would like that invite to be sent from one of my "work" emails (also listed in my contact for myself in Contacts as "work").
    When I send a work invite right now, the invite comes from my "home" email address--and I don't want my work colleagues knowing or using my personal email address. 
    Is there a way to dictate which email address a Calendar invite is sent from?  I know back in my Outlook days you could literally just select which account you wanted the invite to be sent from.  Does Apple's Calendar application have a similar trick?
    In the past, I had used the work around where I actually changed my AppleID email address to my work email address, so then all of my Calendar invites were sent from that work email address.  But I have two work email addresses now, so I can't use that trick. 
    TL/DR:  How can I send Calendar invites from personal and work email addresses?
    Thanks for your help--I REALLY appreciate it.
    All best,
    MC

    Try this:
    Sign out of iMessage on all devices. Sign back in on your iPhone. Wait until it is completely activated. Then, sign back in on the other devices using the same Apple ID.

    The Safari web address bar has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    Thanks Roger I can now see the name of the website and if I right click on the name it shows me the web address. I used to be able to see the web address e.g. "https//google.co.uk" in this bar without having to right click on the name, is there a way of bringing this back?
