Can I combine Apple IDs (accounts)?

At different times I have created Apple IDs, i.e. new email address, new device etc... is there anyway to combine these into one ID/Account so that I don't have to continuously log out login to make updates?

I'm sorry, but you can't combine Apple IDs. This isn't allowed. You have to get all the apps with one of these Apple ID to be able to update them without having to switch between Apple IDs

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.

HT204053 support states you can't merge apple ids, but it does give you an option to edit. Im sure there's a reason, but why can't I sign in to 1 account and edit the name to match the 2nd account?

It doesn't. Gmail is owned by Google.

How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

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 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.

HT2731 how can i create apple id account if i don't have credit card?

how can i create apple id account if i don't have credit card of any gift certificates from itunes?

You already have an Apple ID, or you wouldn't be posting here. I presume you mean an iTunes Store account. If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

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:

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.

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.

How to combine apple Ids

My family currently has 3 iphones, 2 iPads, and 1 ipod touch. We have been using them years but would like to combine accounts to make it easier to share things and We all have our own accounts with our own apple ids- what is the best way to do this without losing anything we already have put on them..
thank you!

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable. You can't merge all your purchases.

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.
Michael

How can Icheck which Apple IDs my serial number are registered to?

My iPod Touch model A1367 was recntly stolen. I came to iTunes to see if could ever see who has been recently using my device so that I may track it down. I went to My Support Profile > Register & Add Products and typed in my iPod Touch's serial number, but apparently this message comes out "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products". I was wonderinng if I could see all the Apple IDs that have been used on my iPod. So can I... somehow?

There is nothing you can do. Apple will not help. Just report it to the po\lice and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.
