Can i merge my old apple id's music to my current one to have my old music?

Over the years i have had several apple id's that I have purchased music on and i was wondering if there is a way to merge the id's together so i can hall all of my music?  when i try to sign in to my old id on my iphone 5 i get a message saying "my phone is associated with another apple id, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different apple id for 90 days." should I do this?

Based on the question:  If you have to download past purchases, you would need to log in to the specific account, download the content, then wait 90 days to access the next process.  If you have 3 different computers, you could log into one ID on each, then (possibly) homeshare to get them onto one device.  The ultimate goal would be to get all the content onto a single desktop computer (or laptop).  then you can sync the content to the desired iOS devices (or just play the content on the computers).
HTH.

  • Can you merge 2 different apple ID's

    can you merge 2 different apple ID's?

    Similar question, with a difference. I have set the Mac (BP, 10.8.2) with Apple ID #1, and the iPhone (4S, iOS6) with #2. Stupid of me, of course - but in the meantime I have content in both iClouds, and if I cancel either one, I lose some content. Any way out?

  • My wife has an ipad3 can she take it to apple and swoop it for a new one

       my wife has an i pad3 that she got in march now the new one is out can she take it into apple and swoop it for a new one???

    Is it defective in any way? is it less than 30 days old?
    If none of this is true then no, why do you think apple would trade in iPads for new ones?
    If you bought the iPad 3 less than 30 days ago some Stores can exchange it for a new iPad 4, but its a sotre by store policy.And it probbaly won;t apply anymore now that's been almost a month since the iPad 4 was released.
    Other than that, what's the reason for the exchange?

  • Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
    For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.
    For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

    If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
    iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

  • I was told you you could view your app from your Iphone on the TV using Apple TV, such as the AFL football one i have purchased through the App store.

    I was told you could view your app from your Iphone on the TV using Apple TV, such as the AFL football one i have puchased through the App store. Is this true?

    Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

    Thanks,

    There isn't a way to transfer your existing AOL emails to your iCloud email account without opening each one and emailing them to your iCloud email address.  However, you can stop accumulating addiional email in your AOL account by going to your email preferences for your account on the AOL website and set up your account to forward all incoming email to your iCloud account.  (I assume AOL allows you to set up email forwarding as it is a fairly standard feature with most email providers.)

  • How can I merge my two Apple ID's?

    I recently activated an iCloud account after upgrading to an iphone5.  ICloud requires an Apple ID in the form of an email address.  My Apple ID was not an email address.  Let's say it was "JohnDoe".  So I logged onto my "JohnDoe" Apple account and tried to change the ID to my one and only email address, "[email protected]".  Well it seems that a number of years back I had already set up an Apple ID with that email address.  No problem, I used the "[email protected]" apple ID  to set up my iCloud account.  Here's the problem.  I had tons of songs, books, apps, etc. saved in a  wish list on my old "JohnDoe" apple ID.  I have a credit on it from itunes gift cards.  Plus, a few of my apple products are registered to that ID.  (My iphone5 is now registered to the "[email protected]" Apple ID.)  I want to have one Apple ID ([email protected]) with my wish list, all my products and everything linked to it.  Can I merge the two? 
    Thanks

    Given the way Apple insists on working with setting up new devices (i.e. the set-up processes have been encouraging duplicated Apple IDs) it is entirely reasonable to request the ability to merge Apple IDs for those of us who have supported the company for years and have bought a lot of devices, accessories, software, music, books etc from Apple Inc
    When do you think this reasonable request will be fulfilled?
    We are just fellow users here and as such have no idea if, much less when, Apple will ever allow merging of Apple IDs. You can comment to Apple on the issue via their feedback pages, if you wish:

    but I'm quite sure Apple is aware of the interest in such a feature.

  • HT1349 how can i merge my old email address to icloud

    how can i merge all my emails to icloud

    You can't do that with MobileMe. MobileMe's mail servers will only accept senders from their own domains (@mac.com and @me.com). No other senders, not even from configured personal domains, will be accepted.
    You will either have to use your companies SMTP server or, if not public available, your companies webmail.

  • HT204053 how can i delete an older apple ID and only use the new one?

    how can I delete an old Apple account and transfer it to a new one?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can delete an existing account from your device and create a new one and start using it. But I'm not sure what you mean by transfer.

  • How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

    Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
    My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
    The same for my daughter and for me.
    Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
    Thanks a lot
    Acwills

    You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
    Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

  • How can I open a new window with the same website like the one I have open?

    In safari I can open a new window with the same website like the one I have open, that makes it easy continuing to navigate on a website and to go back to the original website

    Hello Andieas
    Why open a new window for fast browsing??
    Open new tabs.
    Just right click on what you want to open and click "Open in new Tab"
    It is easy and doesn't consume memory from your computer as well as easy to navigate.
