My family has multiple itunes accounts, and would like to merge them into a single cloud account.  How do I do this?

We are trying to combine music into a shared library so we can eliminate all of the duplicate purchases.  Is this possible?

That's not exactly correct. It is possible to sign in to one account for media sharing and another account for iCloud. When you initially set up the device, it may automatically sign you into one account for everything, but you can go to preferences and change this.
Each family member should have their own iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, photostream, etc, but you all sign into the same account for iTunes.
Unfortunately there is no way to consolodate the media you have already purchased.

  • HT1751 I have 2 Itunes accounts and would like to merge them into one. How can I do that?

    I have 2 Itunes accounts, one with all my music librairy and a 2nd I created after purchasing my Ipad. I didn't realize then I could have used my Itunes credentials. How can I merged both under the same account without loosing my purchases?

    As Niel stated, you cannot merge them.
    You can keep the purchased items in your iTunes library and use them with no issues.
    Just pick one of the AppleIDs and stick with that one.

  • I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
    thanks

    i have 2 iCloud accounts and would like to merge them together

    I'm afraid this is not possible. Of course you can manually transfer data such as calendars and contacts from one account to another, but you can't move email addresses across (including aliases).
    However you may be able to get what you want by signing the second account in at System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that the data from that account appears alongside the main account. This 'secondary' account cannot use Photo Stream or Find My iPhone/iPad.Mac.
    If you have been using one account for iCloud and another for iTunes there is no conflict in doing this since they are not actually related. However you cannot merge iTunes account as purchases remain tied to the original account.

    You do not.
    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.

    Or maybe this since it is not clear what you want to do

  • I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

    I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together.  How can i do this?

    You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
    NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
    Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

  • I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini and would like to merge them into one library. What is the easiest way to do this?

    I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini back in the day. I would like to consolidate them into one iTunes library. What is the easiest method to do this? I do use i-Match to access all my music from  iCloud, if that makes any difference.  Thanks. Mark

    Thanks for the reply. When I created the 2 libraries years ago I would hold down the options key and had 2 library names to choose from. Now it just shows a lot of files when I do that, With over 7,000 songs I think I will just look for the few songs from the original library I used to use that still interest me, if they don't show up in my default current library. Thought there would be any easy was to integrate all my music files into one library. I am definitely not going to spend days manually doing this, but thanks again.

    i have 2 itunes accounts and would like to merge them into 1 account... any help??

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, you can't.
    If you mean iTunes libraries, import the files and playlists from one library to the other.

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.
