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.

  • 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 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.

    Is this a New Computer...? If so...
    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • 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!

  • 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.

    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 have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

    can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

    Hello Barry
    It is a yes and no answer. Yes you can but you cannot have them in the same iTunes library or one of the accounts cannot be associated for 90 days. You would need to have either a separate user or separate iTunes library to have both Apple ID’s on the same computer.

    Can I have two Itunes accounts on one pc? One is on our PC now, and I have another on a portable back up. I hope I can.......thanks.

    Yes, you can have multiple Apple IDs within one iTunes copy.
    Note that all purchases will forever be tied to the Apple ID that was used to buy them. You will have to authorize the computer to the new library, as each device can be synced with just a single computer.

  • 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.

  • How do I merge two itunes accounts?

    Somehow I ended up with two iTunes accounts.  This was not by design, but rather because of the convoluted sign-up process and my unfamiliarity with it.  I didn't deal with it before now because it wasn't a problem until now.  What has caused it to be a problem is that I just got an iPad to go along with my iMac, iPhone, and MacBook Pro (trust me, I never thought I'd see this day, but I needed a system that was integrated).
    Since accounts are associated with users, the songs that show up on my iPad are different that what's on my iMac.  I could describe the problems and challenges in detail, but I'm sure any knowledgable users can imagine what they are.
    Now, in order to use iCloud, I have to move from Snow Leopard to Lion, which is going to be a bear (even moreso since a new back-up drive nearly destroyed my computer, and I have a query about it in another post-- the problems just keep on rolling).  How do I associate all my purchases from one account with the other one so I can keep credit for songs and apps?  Many thanks for all help.  -J.
