Can I combine two apple ID accounts?

I have two apple ID accounts....is there anyway to combine them into one?
This seems strange that it is not possible.
Thank you.

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.

    Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

    You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

  • HT204053 Can I combine 2 Apple IDs/accounts into 1?

    How can I combine my Apple ID/iTunes account on my pc to my iPhone and iPad?  I've had an old iTunes account on my pc (300+ songs) and hadn't been using it that was combined with an old iPod Touch.  Since then I've reset and sold my iPod Touch and I want to put that music and those apps on my iPhone and iPad.  How do I do this?  Please help!

    Click here and follow the instructions; Apple IDs can't be combined, but you can have content from up to five Apple IDs in a single iTunes library without running into problems syncing devices.

  • Can I sync two apple ID accounts to the same account?

    I have two apple ID accounts, one for my work Mac, and another for my iPhone 5. Is there a way I can sync the two accounts together onto the same email address? Thanks for answers in advance.

    Nope, content from one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • Can you combine two Apple IDs?

    I have iPad2, iPhone4, iPhone3S, MacBook Air 2011 and a Macbook Pro 2010...all running on Lion OS and iOS 5.  My Issue is I have two apple accounts, one on gmail and the other on mobile me.  I have lots of music from both and want to combine them so my family can just use one account instead of having them both seperate.  We don't use the gmail email anymore, and would like to combine them both to the mobile me apple ID if possible?  Please help!

    Yes, you can change the Apple ID to which your phone is tied. Delete your existing iCloud address and provide the new one. Do the same for your email.

  • HT204053 Can I merge two Apple ID accounts

    I have two Apple IDs, just cos I didn't really understand what I was doing when I set the first one up years ago and now I have two. Some purchases are on one and some are on the other. It also gets confusing with iCloud. Is it possible to merge the two accounts without losing any of the purchases or saved data?

    It isn't possible to merge them at all.

  • Can I merge two Apple ID accounts to consolidate music purchases?

    5 or 6 years ago I created an Apple ID. And then purchased itunes songs a year or so ago. Later, this past year, I disposed of two old PC computers, and was later traveling traveling many months. When I returned, I could not remember my Apple ID, and I could not reset that info because, as I discovered later, the email I had used to create my original Apple ID was now obsolete and unobtainable. So i created a new Apple ID at an Apple Store, and this became my new account.
    I only recently returned to iTunes to make some new purchases, and the computer I had last used to access iTunes a year ago had my "old" Apple ID. And there are maybe 10 itunes purchases associated with the original ID.
    I want to abandon the original ID, and going forward only use the new ID I created at an Apple Store, because it is linked to a useable email account, whereas the original email account does not exist any longer.
    (1) Can I merge the old ID and its purchases into my new ID, and then abandon the old ID?
    (2) If not, is there any other way to pull my music purchases inot my new ID?
    (3) Re: Authorized machines that can play my itunes purchases: The purchases associated with my original ID had been authorized to play on the two PC computers I also got rid of... I did not have any thought at the time of getting rid of them "oh, i better first deauthorize these machines so I can reassign two of my machine authorizations to other computers ar a later date"... So now I have two authorized machines completely unavailable to me, and those two machine hard drives had been wiped clean before I got rid of them.
    So: is there a way to reclaim those two defunct authorizations, so that I might use them on other machines of my choosing?
    Thank you.

    1 - No
    2 - No
    3 - When you get 5 authorizations, you can Deauthorize all 5 and reauthorize what you need.

  • Can I consolidate two apple id accounts?

    I have 2 apple ids with apps on each account, can I consolidate the 2 accounts?

    Cajun Man,
    Unfortunately the answer is no.  Apps are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased, and there is no way to change that association.

  • HT204074 can i combine two apple id's?

    I have some music in my itunes that's apparently from a very old apple id i created years and years ago.  that id is maxed out on authorized computers that i no longer even own.  i want to consolidate whatever music is under that id with my current apple id and be able to listen to it on my devices...
    help?

    Oh I see. So you need to deauthorize an old computer you no longer have access to.
    To can deauthorize all computers, by clicking "Deauthorize All" on the Edit Account Information screen. Keep in mind that you can only use this feature once a year. If you already used it this year, you can conatct support so they can deauthorize all computers for you:

    I did this once and it worked out. I hope this helps you. =)
