Can You combine 2 iTunes accounts?

It appears I have an itunes account through Apple that I have used to purchase and download songs, and an additional AOL sign in that I've also used to purchase music and videos. I guess I've logged into both accounts never realizing, until now, that they were different. Is there any way to combine the 2 accounts so my purchase history will reflect all my activity?

Nope, unfortunately not.

How soon can you transfer iTunes accounts?

How soon can you transfer apple IDs on your device? I have two accounts. An old one and and newer one. Could I set my iPhone up wi the old one and transfer to the new one the same day?

You can logout of the currently logged in account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and you can then log in with a different account (you can't transfer content from one account to another account). But if you turn on automatic downloads for an account, use iTunes match or re-download its past purchases then you risk tying your iPhone (and the same principle applies to computers) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
If you want past purchases from an account, then do you have all of your content from both accounts on your computer's iTunes so that you can sync them over ?

How can I combine iTunes accounts

I received an iPad and my daughter created an iTunes account. The settings were not to my liking so I created a new account; however, my daughter had already added my iTunes gift card to the old account. Is there a way to combine accounts and get back my iTunes gift card?

Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put the balance back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of it has been spent.

Can you combine different icloud accounts?

CAn you combine different icloud accounts? For some reason, my new iphone 6 keeps on popping up an old email address for icloud.

When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

Can you install iTunes twice on same computer for different accounts?

I do not believe that is possible any longer. All iTunes accounts are individual accounts.

How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
Thanks for your help.
Sam

Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts. So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots? If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

I just bought a new Nano. How do I transfer the songs from my Shuffle to the Nano and then give the Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

I just bought a new Nano. How do I tranfer the songs from my Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

DaisyDoodle,
The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library. That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

Can you have multiple accounts on ipod touch

My daughter has an Ipod touch and I have my itunes account on it. Is there a way we can have 2 itune accounts linked to the same Ipod touch?

Yes. Just note the 90-day time period mspecifed her for using some iCloud features.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
Also note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Can two separate iTunes accounts home share music?

Can two separate iTunes accounts home share music? I load music on my mothers iPod nano and my brother would like to load music onto her iPod also. Would there be a problem and what would be the process?

Yes you can set up homesharing on more than one library to be shared with other devices, just use the same homesharing ID and password on all of them.

My computer crashed. is there a way that i can put my itunes account and library on my husband's computer even though he has an itunes account?

My computer crashed and instead of buying a new computer, is there a way i can put my itunes account and library on my husband's computer. He also has an itunes account and library.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I have more than I Apple ID can I combine the accounts

My music wasn't syncing on all devices, I think it's because they are on more than 1 Apple ID, can I combine the accounts?

Hi Heather,
At this time Apple IDs and the content associated with them can not be combined. See this article -
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
In particular -
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.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
