Can you merge 2 apple IDs

I bought some apps on an old ID, no longer in use. But now, I need to update apps, but I pad won't acknowledge my new apple ID, or let me use the old one... Any help???  Can I merge the IDs ??

It's not currently possible to merge ids, nor to copy/transfer content from one account to another - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, so only the old account will be able to download updates to its apps. What problem are you having with the old account ?

  • HT204053 support states you can't merge apple ids, but it does give you an option to edit. Im sure there's a reason, but why can't I sign in to 1 account and edit the name to match the 2nd account?

    It doesn't.  Gmail is owned by Google.

    No. No news on the matter either that I've heard of.

  • Can you merge two apple ids

    I have two Apple id's. Not sure why. but one is for my iPod that was set up a long time ago and what I use for iTunes. The is for my iPhone. I want to use the itunes cloud storage so i can listen to my music on my iPhone but i'm guessing that won't work if you have two id's. Of couse they'd need to match. Can you merge two id's? I would like to simplify anyway and just have one.
    Thanks.

    No.

  • How do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    how do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    You don't transfer Apple ID's from one device to another one. You sign out in the settings, )the App Store and iTunes if necessary) and then sign in with the other ID.
    Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Sign out. Them sign in with the other ID. You can sign out of the app store and iTunes as well by going to the featured Atab in the App Store and the music tab in iTunes, swipe to the bottom and access the Apple ID in there.
    You should have erased the iOad before you gave it to her in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That way she could set up the iPad as new with her own Apple ID.
    Be aware of the fact that if you use each others ID's in order to download past purchased content to your own iPads, you will lock yourself out of your own ID as you will have associated your iPad with the other person's Apple ID.
    In other words, if you sign into your wife's ID on your iPad so that you can download an app or an album so that you don't have to pay for it again, you will lock yourself out of your Apple ID for 90 days.

  • 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?

  • Merging Apple IDs - must be made available!

    Wanting to use the features of mobile me, I didn't realise that it would create a new apple ID. My previous apple ID was [email protected]
    I now find myself with music, warranties on both and I'm sick of trying to manager two user IDs across 2 laptops, Imac and Ipod touch.
    The inability to merge two or more IDs is a real pain in the arse! From all the discussion I have read it is not possible.
    Apple should get off their behinds and make the functionality available.
    I would suggest that the functionality to be easily included in [email protected]
    a migration assistant could step by step allow the end user to select apple IDs, and the content associated with them. The option to delete the former Apple ID would be a good thing too.
    The more people who request the ability to merge apple IDs the sooner it will get done.

    You could send an e-mail to the iTunes Store and tell them your problem. I didn't have items purchased under two accounts, but I wanted to change my user ID to delete the @xxxx.com. (I realized when sharing my library that people could see my complete e-mail address if they did Get Info on a track. And one listener actually e-mailed me asking if they could get a copy of my library.) Anyway, I sent Apple an e-mail stating the issue and they changed my ID and assured that purchases, both old and new, would be recognized under the new ID -- which has been the case. Your case is a bit different, and I can't guarantee they would grant your request, but I'd say it's worth asking the question.

  • Can I combine Apple IDs (accounts)?

    At different times I have created Apple IDs, i.e. new email address, new device etc... is there anyway to combine these into one ID/Account so that I don't have to continuously log out login to make updates?

    I'm sorry, but you can't combine Apple IDs. This isn't allowed. You have to get all the apps with one of these Apple ID to be able to update them without having to switch between Apple IDs

  • 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.

  • Can you merge PDF in iOS app?

    CAn you merge two PDFs in the iOS app?

    Hi,
    A short answer is "no".  Sorry.
    If you subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack online service, you can use the "Combine Files" feature to combine files and images into a single PDF file via the web interface (https://cloud.acrobat.com/combinepdf) on a desktop computer.
    Combine files to PDF
    But the "Combine Files" feature is not available in the Acrobat DC mobile for iOS or Android.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
