How do I merge two iCloud accounts into one? One account is on my mac and ipad, the other on my iphone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot merge accounts, you will need to choose one and use it.

I have enabled iCloud on my iPhone. In case i delete the photos from my phone would they still be on my iCloud account or will it sync and delete it on iCloud as well?

Hello lonestar17,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you are curious about how iCloud stores your photos. Photo Stream stores your photos temporarily so that you can have time to sync them to your computer, but the photos will expire after 30 days:
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .

How do I merge two itunes accounts?

Somehow I ended up with two iTunes accounts. This was not by design, but rather because of the convoluted sign-up process and my unfamiliarity with it. I didn't deal with it before now because it wasn't a problem until now. What has caused it to be a problem is that I just got an iPad to go along with my iMac, iPhone, and MacBook Pro (trust me, I never thought I'd see this day, but I needed a system that was integrated).
Since accounts are associated with users, the songs that show up on my iPad are different that what's on my iMac. I could describe the problems and challenges in detail, but I'm sure any knowledgable users can imagine what they are.
Now, in order to use iCloud, I have to move from Snow Leopard to Lion, which is going to be a bear (even moreso since a new back-up drive nearly destroyed my computer, and I have a query about it in another post-- the problems just keep on rolling). How do I associate all my purchases from one account with the other one so I can keep credit for songs and apps? Many thanks for all help. -J.

Hello HEScruggs,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You cannot merge multiple Apple ID accounts into one. See below for more information.
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.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

HT1918 how can I merge two itune accounts?

I had an account for itunes and, not thinking, created another one tonight, so I have music under both accounts. How can I merge the two?

Sorry - you can't. You can keep the music from each iTunes account in the same library, but the purchased items will always be "owned" by the iTunes ID under which they are purchased.
My husband and I both purchase music and other stuff on his Mac in iTunes under our own iTunes IDs. Both IDs are authorized to the Mac, and everything is housed in one iTunes library. I can download his music, and he can download mine.
However, if, say, some of the music was removed from the library and we wanted to get it back in there, we would each individually have to go to our Purchased list to download the items that we purchased in order to get them all back into the library.
Hope that explanation helps!
Cheers,
GB

Does deleting iCloud account remove photos from phone and iPad?

I know this has been answered, but I am still confused.
Will deleting my iCloud account remove photos from my phone?
I've read just "iCloud"- but where is this?
Long story short, I got married the month before I got my iPad, being a newlywed I wasn't thinking I would find my husband impregnating another woman and moving in with her behind my back so I figured creating an iCloud name with his last name would be good to go. Obviously not. Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them. The games are whatever, I plan on starting those over because I'm sure that I can't keep my progress. Do I have to re-download them?
Also is there a way to uninstall an update? The 7.1 removing of full contact pictures when recieving calls was a bummer

> Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them.
Transfer them to your computer to keep them safe. If you lose or break your iPad you'll lose them without a backup.

How to access iCloud drive on iMac and iPad with different iCloud IDs?

I have Numbers spreadsheets in an iCloud drive set up on my iMac with one Apple ID, and I have a different Apple ID for my iPad and iPhone and a third Apple ID for my wife iPad and iPhone. Is it possible for us to access the iCloud drive on the iMac with our iPads and iPhones that have different Apple IDs that the iMac?

iCloud Drive will not work until you are running Yosemite which is not yet released. Turn it off. If you are running the Yosemite beta, then we will not provide support for you here.
When you downloaded the beta software you agreed to an NDA and were provided with a special forum for discussions and bug reporting. Please use that forum.
Posting here about beta software is both a violation of the NDA and the forum rules.

HT204053 How do i merge two iTunes accounts?

My Dad and i are having trouble with his iTunes accounts. notice they were plural. yes, my dad has two different apple IDs with two different passwords. this was do to a problem we had with iTunes. He has arround 50 dollars in apps on one account (due to a dicionary he bought) and wants to merge it into his existing iTunes account. im not saying that his previous Itunes accound is unaccesable, because it is very accesible, but we just cant figure out how to fix this issue. Anyone got any bright ideas? please help!
Sincerely, Garrett
P.S. sorry for the bad spelling.

It's not currently possible to merge accounts nor to transfer content from one account to another - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it.

How do I merge two adobe accounts into one or simply delete one of these accounts?

Sometime ago I set up an Adobe Digital account when I was reading eBooks from the Library. I decided it was too cumbersome carrying a lap top around to a read a book so I had not used the account in quite some time.
I was given a kobo reader as a gift and as I downloaded and purchased a book it was not loading correctly in the kobo. The id in the kobo is different than the Adobe ID I originally set up. I was receiving a server error upon opening Digital Reader. I am guessing here but I believe it may be related to the Adobe Digital ID I have. With this in mind I removed the Digital Reader software, set up a new account and reinstalled the Digital Reader but it loaded my previous ID. I searched for a solution to deactivate one of them and saw a reference to emailing support but link did not take me to an e-mail address that I could see.
Please provide the best way to fix this issue. Reading books on these devices should not be this complicated and this entire 2 day process has been very frustrating to say the least. Please provide the exact steps to deactivate an account and set up the software with the new Adbobe ID I created.
Thank you
Keith

Keith, we can help you, but there may be some confusion based on your use
of the term 'Digital Reader'. Adobe has two products that get confused
from time to time. The first is Adobe Reader - which is the one we use
most often to view PDF files. The other is Adobe Digital Editions, which
is an ebook retrieval and library management system. So, let's clarify
first whether you're referring to Adobe Reader, or Adobe Digital Editions.
Next, when you obtain an ereader, you register it with the outfit that
supports it - if it's a Kobo ereader, you register it with the KOBO
bookstore. During that process, you'll be asked for an ID. If you use
your Adobe ID, then your Kobo ereader can talk to either Reader or Digital
Editions seamlessly. If you use another ID, then you could have issues.
Then, there is no way to 'deactivate' an Adobe ID account. If you 'start
over' and establish a new Adobe ID, the one you set up the first time will
still be active in the Adobe computer behind the scenes.
Comment from me: We all fall into the trap of 'assuming' that obtaining an
ebook, downloading it into an ereader and reading it is straightforward and
'simple'. It's not - and that's because of technology, not the programs
themselves. Adobe tries to 'keep things simple' by using one ID for you
whether it's on one or two computers, and up to six ereaders. What we do
wrong is to 'assume' that we can figure things out on our own as we go.
Not good.
If the truth be known, we'd all be better off if we read the manual before
we did anything with the programs.

Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

How do I merge two valid, purchased iTunes accounts into one so all my music is in same account?

I have two valid, purchasd iTunes accounts. Older iPod has some great music, I just got a new iPad and set up second iTunes account, bought some more iTunes items for that account. Just discovered iCloud. Now I want to put all my music from both accounts onto the cloud so I can access it on all my apple devices. Can't seem to add from one account to the other. Can sign onto the new account wiht my old iPod, but it will not let me sync without erasing all the music on the device. How can I merge these two accounts into one?
PS Makes you wonder how helpful support is when the usernames "Frustrated," "really frustrated," and "Help!!!!" are all taken...lol

You cannot. iTunes pruchases remian tied to the account they were purchased with.
I just got a new iPad and set up second iTunes account,
Why?
Remove your info from new account, update old account as needed and use that.
