Can I merge or change my Itunes account

Hello All,
Earlie this year I decided to join apple and now I have some more free time I am trying to use my Iphone 4s to its best!
However
A few years ago I started using Itunes under an old email address allowing me to update my Ipod however I do not use this email address anymore (I do have access)
What I want to know and how is:
Can I change the email address to my new Icloud addess (new from Febuary 2013)
and
How can I do this.....
When I try put alternative address on the account it says this is already in use.....
So not sure what to do...
Please help!!
Thank you

Sorry, you can't merge or transfer purchases made using your Apple ID.

    My iTunes account is under my @yahoo email address and I became accustomed to my @Me email and now like the idea of the @iCloud email address that was made. My questions are....can I change my iTunes account to my @iCloud name without instead of my @yahoo name without losing my years snd years of purchases ? Can I also create an @Mac address ? ....or is my @yahoo and my @iCloud already recognized as the same by apple and my purchases would already be fine as well as restoring my devices ?

    Your purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID (account) used to purchase them.  They can't be moved to another account and you can merge accounts.  You can start making new purchases with your iCloud ID if you want, but you will end up with two sets of purchases under two different IDs, adding further complication to your life.
    Also, your @icloud email address is an alias of your existing @me address; emails sent to either address will be routed to the same inbox.  You can decide which one you want to use as your default (as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441) but you can't separate them.

    Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    The payment methods that are available in your country will show on your account. If debit cards aren't available on that screen then you won't be able to use it as your payment method.

  • How can I change the iTunes account on a used computer

    I puchased a used laptop and need to change the itunes account.

    Go to the Store menu in iTunes and choose "Deauthorize this Computer".
    Then you'll have to go back to the same menu and choose "Authorize this Computer".
    Of course, this might delete any purchases made from this account and delete them from your iTunes library.

  • How can I transfer music from my iTunes account to my daughters iTunes account

    How can I transfer music from my iTunes account to my daughters new iTunes account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    'Tranferring' implies the change of ownership, which isn't possible.
    If you mean share the content, this can be done by homesharing.

  • How do I change my Itunes account to a new one

    How do I change my itunes account to a new id account

    Do you mean that you've updated your existing account, created a new account, or want to do one of those ?
    If you've updated your existing account then to get that update reflected on an iPad, iPhone and/or iPod Touch then you may need to log out of the account on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in in order to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If you've created a new account then you can log out and back in similar to above (and via the Store > Sign Out menu option on a computer's iTunes), but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can authorise its content on a new computer, redownload it and download updates to its apps.
    If you want to update your existing account to have a new email address on it then you can do so via this page : http://appleid.apple.com

  • How do I change the itunes account on my computer?

    How do I change the itunes account on my computer?  I let my ex keep my Apple ID as he had purchased a large amount of music, so he uses it on his Iphone and computer, and I started a new account on my Iphone, and I'd like to use that one on my computer, but I can't figure out how to log out of my old Apple ID and use the new one.

    If the desired iTunes library is in a different Mac OS X user account, choose to log out from the Apple menu and then log in.
    If the desired iTunes library is in the same Mac OS X user account, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and specify it.

  • Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?

    Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?  We have two accounts in our family and would like to be able to switch between them.

    Thank you.  What I was really trying to find out is if there is a limit on switching iTunes accounts - I have a vague memory of reading that changing from one iTunes store account to another was going to be limited in some way, but maybe this is on iTunes itself?  Or perhaps my memory is incorrect?   We have two iTunes accounts and swap back and forth regularly on our iPhones and iPads to buy and update apps without a problem.  I couldn't find any reference to it on a quick search yesterday so what I have done with the AppleTV is leave it set to one account, and we watched the other account content via my Macbook.

  • How do I merge two valid, purchased iTunes accounts into one so all my music is in same account?

    I have two valid, purchasd iTunes accounts.  Older iPod has some great music, I just got a new iPad and set up second iTunes account, bought some more iTunes items for that account.  Just discovered iCloud.  Now I want to put all my music from both accounts onto the cloud so I can access it on all my apple devices.   Can't seem to add from one account to the other.  Can sign onto the new account wiht my old iPod, but it will not let me sync without erasing all the music on the device.  How can I merge these two accounts into one?
    PS  Makes you wonder how helpful support is when the usernames "Frustrated," "really frustrated," and "Help!!!!" are all taken...lol

    You cannot. iTunes pruchases remian tied to the account they were purchased with.
    I just got a new iPad and set up second iTunes account,
    Why?
    Remove your info from new account, update old account as needed and use that.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't merge accounts.
    You can however share or import content from another library/account using homesharing.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
