Can i combine 2 iTunes accounts

Hi my wife and I have 3 kids, we all have iphones now and want to use icloud so we are all on the same page... my question is this... my wife has her itunes account on her pc and i have mine on my mac so is it possible to merge both accounts so we can only have one and then use icloud to make all 5 iphones the same?

You cannot combine accounts.
Just continue to use the old acount with your iPhone (and everything else).
There was no need to create a new account simply because you got an iPhone.
You wouldn't get a new debit card if you go to different grocery store.

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

  • Can you combine multiple itunes accounts into a single one?

    I set up separate itunes accounts for my (2) sons (8 & 10) because one had an iPod and the other had an iTouch. 
    They just got an iPad for X-mas (that they'll share) ... I want to set up the iCloud and create a "joint" account.

  • How can I combine two iTunes accounts?

    I had an iTunes account at home then created another at work. How can I combine the two? 
    When I received an iPad2 at work, I was required to have/initiate an account during the setup process.  I couldn't remember what email address my personal iTunes account was under, so I set up another and began using it to load required and desired apps on my iPad.  Openning my windows laptop for the first time in months, I now see that my personal iTunes account was under a really old email address (which is why I couldn't recall it at work).
    The (old) personal account has many podcasts and personal music, yet the new iPad account is linked to my work apps.  Is it possible to merge the two?

    Hi vwalker,
    I have the same issue, but it seems that Apple will not let you merge itunes accounts.  Refer to this FAQ, specifically the text below:
    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.
    This is the original website: http://support.apple.com/kb/he37
    Now I have to add that this is rather disappointing as I have some purchases on my old itunes account which I would like to merge into my current iTunes account (which was created due to an oversight).  The oversight was, I thought my original iTunes was converted to @me.com one when I signed up for the 90 day trial to use mobileme services.

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, you can't.

  • HT201342 Can I combine two iTunes accounts into one?

    I have two iTunes accounts and there for two accounts I purchase music, movies and apps. This happened because my original iTunes account was my primary email at the time. I thought if I updated that information to a new .mac/.me account it would take my purchases with it, but alas, that didn't happen. I just wound up creating a new account and purchased a few things on that before I realized I had to sign out of one account to sing into the other to update. Anyone with any ideas on how to consolidate my accounts and therefor my purchases in to a single one, like the new .iCloud account extension, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

  • Can You combine 2 iTunes accounts?

    It appears I have an itunes account through Apple that I have used to purchase and download songs, and an additional AOL sign in that I've also used to purchase music and videos. I guess I've logged into both accounts never realizing, until now, that they were different. Is there any way to combine the 2 accounts so my purchase history will reflect all my activity?

    Nope, unfortunately not.

  • How many computers can share the same iTunes account?

    How many computers can share the same iTunes account?

    Hello cincip,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities. The following article provides more information on associating multiple computers with your Apple ID:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How many ipads can sync to one itunes account?

    how many ipads can sync to one itunes account?

    You can use a single Apple ID with a maximum of ten devices and computers (combined). Only five of them can be computers. So if you're only authorizing iPads and no computers, then you can authorize 10 iPads with one Apple ID.
    Here's some verbiage from Apple's Terms and Conditions:
    Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
    (i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
    (ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any given time.
    (iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days.
    (iv) You may download previously-purchased free content onto an unlimited number of devices while it is free on the iTunes Service, but on no more than 5 iTunes-authorized computers.

  • Can you combine different icloud accounts?

    CAn you combine different icloud accounts?  For some reason, my new iphone 6 keeps on popping up an old email address for icloud.

    When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
    You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
    Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
    Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
    You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
    As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.
