Can I merge 2 itune account purchases?

I have made apps 'business' purchases on my laptop with my apple ID. My business iPod touch has these apps and basically nothing else.
My wife buys songs and video with her iTunes/Apple ID and puts those purchases on her iMac a home.
Can I merge my bought apps into her computer and have it associated with her computer, so that I can have my apps and her songs on my iPod. Any further purchase will be through her iTunes ID. I would just print out the business purchases and get reimbursed from the business office.

Can I merge my bought apps into her computer
Yes. Authorize (iTunes menu Store > Authorize) her computer with the iTunesID you purchased these apps with. Connect your iPod then File -> Transfer purchases.

  • Can I merge two iTunes accounts?

    hello group, is it possible to merge two iTunes accounts into one? my wife has a German account, myself an Austrian and we want to merge these two accounts so that we have both (within the allowed number of computers) the same music... how does that work?

    You cannot have two accounts logged in to the iTunes Store simultaneously, but you don't have to. Just authorize the first account, then authorize the second. Usually all you need to do is play a track purchased from an unauthorized account and it will offer to authorize; just enter in the appropriate user name and password.

  • HT1420 How can I merge one iTunes account into my other one. I have a work laptop that I've had one library one (work email address) and I also have a home library iTunes account (gmail address) but I want it all under one accnt.

    I have two iTunes libraries (one under my gmail address and one under my work email address). My work laptop is usually how I access my account and in the past 3 months that laptop has had to be replaced twice, causing me to redo my entire library. Each time, the laptop was not deauthorized, of course and I had to go through all that rigamarole. I have all of my music backed up and am able to also retrieve anything purchased over the years from the cloud, but once i get it set up and authorize the laptop to both of the email address accounts, some of the items that are in the gmail library will not play. It says that it cannot locate. At one point, a friend spent a lot of time getting it to finally recognize everything (a lot of that music that said cannot locate was from burned CD's or mp3s downloaded, not purchased from iTunes). So there is that issue and I'm not sure how to fix that.
    The other thing is that I would like to have ALL of my items under one iTunes account (my personal gmail) in the event that i no longer work for this company and have no access to that email address as it will be turned off. How can I remove one email and merge all purchases over to the gmail address account?
    Thanks!

    You cannot combine actual accounts (as in iTunes Store account).
    You can combine the music into a single iTunes collection on a computer.  There's many ways to do this.   There are some utilities to assist with keeping maximum metadata (ratings, playcount, etc.) but I am not familiar with Windows platform ones to do this, though I am sure a web search of merge iTunes library would uncover some.

    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.

  • How can I merge multiple iTunes accounts

    Hi All:
    I have two iTunes accounts - each tied to a different email address. I'd like to merge them into one, and allow all of the songs purchased from both accounts to be accessed via only one account....Then I can close out the older account.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • HT3819 Can I merge two iTunes accounts into one account for home sharing?

    I now have two children with iTunes accounts. Unbeknownst to me, we should have set up a home sharing network. I need to merge these two accounts to one account so we have only one home sharing account and do not loose any songs and media. Any ideas on how to accomplish this, or is it not possible?

    Sorry to say but these Accounts cannot be merged...

  • Can I merge 2 iTunes accounts

    You can't merge two Apple ID into one.
    All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with.

  • 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,

  • Can I merge an ITunes account into another?

    I have a work email which I had set up on my work laptop and iTunes account,when I received an itunes voucher I redeemed it into my work email account on itunes instead of my personal, can I transfer this to my personal iTUNES account?
    Thanks
    Sarah

    Welcome to the forums Sarah
    What you need to do is to copy your purchases (e.g. onto a Flash USB memory stick) from your work laptop, then copy them into iTunes on your home Mac; then, you will have to authorise iTunes using your work email iTunes account in order to play them on your home Mac.
    One way around the authorising problem is to burn your purchases to CD using the work laptop, then you can just read the CD into your home Mac, no need to authorise.

  • Can i merge two itune accounts?

    I cant sync my iphone to my pc. Whenever i try it comes up with this; "An IPhone can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this Iphone with the contents of this ITunes library." I dont think i ever created two accounts and they are both the same email. Can i fix this without deleting an account? I have spent a lot of money on both accounts and dont want to lose it. Can I merge them?

    Correct... this means you have Synced your Phone to a Different iTunes Library.

  • HT204053 can i merge my itunes accounts

    For some reason i have managed to find myself with 2 itune accounts.  Can I merge them if so how?

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

  • How do I get my purchased Itunes, which I can see in my Itunes account library on my computer, downloaded to a folder on my computer so I can use them?

    How do I get my purchased Itunes, which I can see in my Itunes account library, transferred to a folder on my computer so I can use them?

    Hello apple1helpme,
    It sounds like you would like to download your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than streaming them from iTunes in the Cloud.  I recommend downloading your purchases directly to your computer using the Purchases page in the iTunes Store:
    Download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer
    Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category. 
    iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download. If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
    To download all available items, click Download All.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

  • Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

    Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

    There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files.  Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
    Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.
