I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

    I have two Apple ID, how can I delete one and use the email address associates to the main one?

    If you abandon one of the Apple IDs you will also basically be abandoning any content that you have acquired with that Apple ID. Content can only be updated and re-downloaded with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. Apple will not combine the content of Apple IDs and Apple will not transfer the content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID.

  • ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time.  How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

    iTunes tells me my song selection: "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time.  How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want?

    I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
    This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
    1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
         Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
    2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
    3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
    4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
    5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
    6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT5517 I cannot see my Apple TV.  I have 2 of them and can only see one.  Ideas?

    I cannot see my Apple TV with airplay.  I have 2 of them and can only see one.  Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

    Do the songs play in iTunes on the computer?

  • In photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one

    in photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one person at a time.  if I try to select two or more people to see their pictures, I get nothing.  I try to use CTL-click, but that does not work

    Hi,
    Try switching to Media view and then go to Find -> By Details.
    Set the field to People and select the persons name.
    You add further people by clicking on the + sign
    The two options above the search criteria allow you to select all photos containing at least one or only ones with all of your selections.
    The search can be saved in case you want to repeat it a later time.
    Hope that helps

  • I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5.  Can this be overcome?

    I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5.  I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

    You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

  • HT204053 I have two Apple ID's, can I merge all purchases into one account?

    I have two Apple ID's and am finding that Apple TV will only recognise one. Can I merge previously purchased content into a single Apple ID to make it accessible to Apple TV from multiple devices?

    The Apple TV will recognise multiple libraries using different iTunes accounts providing they are all using the same homesharing details.

  • Have two apple IDs.  Can I merge them somehow?

    I have two apple IDs.  One from before icloud - ends in sbcglobal.net.  When icloud became available, somehow I created a new apple ID ending in me.com.  Is there some way that I can merge them so that I have only one apple ID to manage?  I have two desktop Macs, an iPad, and an iPhone 5.

    No, Apple does not allow to merge AppleIDs. You can just stop using one of them.

  • N73, sync ok but can only backup one tel. # per co...

    greetings!
    all i care much is to backup my contacts, but when i checked it using my outlook i can only see one number per contact while some of my contacts on my mobile have multiple tel.#.
    i realy need help..... i have a trouma losing my contacts twice!!!!
    pls. help me...
    thanks!

    thanks manta! i guess ur right but what i want is to save all the numbers in one contact at once. its not easy to update all the contacts 1 by 1, it's almost the same as re-typing it all....... exhausting & time consuming.
    is there any other program that can save the contacts in full rather than outlook?

  • HT204053 I have two Apple ids, how can I get all music I have purchased in one library?

    I have used two Apple IDs to purchase music. I want to consolidate the music to one library. How can I do this?

    Wooookay ..... I need to slow down some here.
    OK. Thanks for this. Yes I was confusing two things.
    Forget the Store.
    In my iTunes Library there are some songs I purchased (with ID2) along with those from ID1. There are a few songs with a "!" in the first column on the left of my songs listing. When I click on those songs I get a message which says "can't play this song as itunes cannot locate the file, then it gives me the option to locate it. Once I take that option I am in finder but cannot find the song. it is not in the location other "playable songs" are.
    somewhere in frogging around i did see a location that looked something like //file/xxxxx/xxxx/user/etc. but I cannot find this location. somehow a few songs from a specific download have been sent to this eroneous location which itunes cannot find. I want to get them moved to where itunes can find and play them.
    I can later deal with ordering music with two different IDs.
    Thanks for helping

  • I have two MacBook Pros. Can I use one Apple ID?

    I have two MacBook Pros and I really would like to use just one Apple ID. Can I link my facetime (and imessage) to my phonenumber on both or just on one computer? My phone number is linked to my apple id already and I have it linked to one macbook. I just want to know if I can do that for both.

    You can link up to 10 devices and 5 computers with your apple id for iTunes, and one will work for FaceTime or Messages just fine on both of your computers :-)

  • HT204053 I have two apple IDs and want to delete one. How do I do that?

    I need to delete an apple ID and can't figure out how.

    You can't cancel or delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it. But any content that you bought/downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so only that account will be able to authorise that content on a new computer, re-download it and download updates to its apps.

  • 2 iPads, but can only connect one iPad at a time to my home network.  Is this a known issue with Mac/iPads in general?

    At home I have a HP PC, netbook and Sony laptop with no connection issues.  Last year I bought an iPad 1 for my wife.  This year I bought an iPad 2 for myself.  However, only one iPad can connect to the wifi home network at a time. If I am using the iPad2 then the iPad1 fails to connect to the internet.  if the iPad1 is being used then the iPad2 cannot connect.   I tried resetting iPad network settings for both, reset router, and updated both iPads to latest software/firmware yesterday.  Right now the only iPad that shows any connection is the iPad1.  The iPad2 does not see the home network or any other outside network.  Any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this?  It is odd the network issues only affect the iPad's.

    @dananova,
    It sounds like you need to either increase the number of dynamic IP addresses your router will hand out or change some of your devices to static IP addresses. 
    Check the router manual on how to change the dynamic IP range of your router.  If you don't have a manual, you can go to Belkin's website and download it.
    To change the IP address of your iPads to static addresses, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the ">" next to the name of your wireless network.  DHCP should be highlighted.  Write down the all the settings on the screen. Next tap the Static button.  Enter the exact same information that you copied from the DHCP screen with the exception of the last 3 digits of the IP address.  Enter a new 3 digit number in this spot.  Generally the original IP address will end with a low number such as 009, so pick a number that is not that low but less than 255.  I would suggest a range of 240 to 250, unless the original IP range falls near this range.  Also make sure you use a different 3 digits for each device you set to use a static IP address.

  • I have two HP printers connect but can only see one in the "soution center"

    How do I get  solution Center to recognize both printers. I'm having trouble with print cartridges in my 2170, but when I try to use solution center it only show my 6500. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    One of the reason why the printer is not showing on the solution are the software is not installed correctly and during the installation you encounter a fatal error whisch is common during installation. If its installed already you might need to uninstall and reinstall software. You can remove the printer from add/remove program. Reinstall the software and make sure that the the software is successfully installed.
