If I have two iTunes accounts, and only want one to update my apps why does the other account keep opening?

Here's the issue-I have two iTunes accounts, yet account #1 always comes up when I want to update my apps. This occurs even when account #2 is logged in and has been synced from desktop to iPad. Additionally,Account #2 is logged in on the iPad and yet account #1 prompt appears when updating. Interestingly account #2 functions normal for iTunes purchases but not apps purchases. Any suggestions?

Apps will ALWAYS be tied to the account from which they were purchased. You will always have to update the apps from the account from which they were purchased.

i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
it is all so confusing i need help!!!

You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

HT1495 help i have two itunes accounts i only want one.

I had an iphone touch and I set it up with an itunes account. Later when I set up my iphone (and subsequently my ipad) I used another email address accidentally. Since then I had my main computer reformatted, and lost all of my itunes music (aside from recent purchases) and since my ipod has been irrepairably smashed. Although somehow my phone still has all of my music, the only music I have on my ipad is new items purchased on my iphone.
I have two itunes accounts and in the history I can see all of the purchases, but do not know how to drop them into my current itunes account (with the other apple id).
Hoping for help...

You can't. Apple will not allow merging of iTunes accounts. You need to pick one (whichever has the most stuff) and just use that one.
Otherwise, you'll be constantly signing out of one account to sign back in with the other.

I have two itunes accounts and want to make them into one account.

I have two itunes accounts - one i had on my original pc and then one i created with my Mac. Is it possible to add the library from the old iTunes account to my new one

I have two itunes accounts. One is an old one with a substnantial library attached and one is much newer which I created with my new Mac. Is it possible to merge the two libtaries into my new account?

You can merge the two libraries but not the accounts. Each account is a separte entity.
You are likely best to use the older account as that is where a bulk of the purchases are from. If the file is a unprotected purchase then it doesn't matter. If the content is DRM encoded then you will need to authorize your computer to both accounts as needed. All new music purchases are DRM free but video is still DRM encoded.
There is no reason to create a new iTunes or Mac App Store account if you get a new computer.

I have two iTunes accounts somehow, and just want to merge them together.

If you have two iTunes accounts by accident (one iPhone and one Computer...) how can you merge them together into one account?

The simple answer is that you cannot. Try contacting the store support staff and see what they can do to help: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

I have two iTunes accounts and was wondering if i can merge them together. I've a new macbook pro and haven't plugged my iPhone in it yet in fear of losing my songs from the previous account.

Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.

Can I have two itunes accounts on my pc? I have one account on the computer and the second on a portable back up.

Can I have two Itunes accounts on one pc? One is on our PC now, and I have another on a portable back up. I hope I can.......thanks.

Yes, you can have multiple Apple IDs within one iTunes copy.
Note that all purchases will forever be tied to the Apple ID that was used to buy them. You will have to authorize the computer to the new library, as each device can be synced with just a single computer.

I have two iTunes account and want one without losing purchased apps

I have two itune accounts, How do I close down one iTunes account and not lose purchased apps from the account closed.

You can't close or delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it - but any content that you purchased or downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so you will need to remember its id and password for re-downloading and or re-authorising.
