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?

  • 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.

  • How can i merge different apple id?

    DEAR:
         I am a fresh man to apple's product. Now, i got ipad air & ipad mini & mbp. but each of the three devices has different apple id...
         at the beginning, I didn't realize it is a problem until i use icloud and app purchase.
         i tried new apple id, but seems that my device was marked by old apple id, so, i can't download iLife & iWork free with new apple id...
         so, how can i let apple know i want to change the associated apple id with my device? If that, i can download ILife & iWork for free with new apple id.
         when i want to enable "books in 'auto download' page", i got a hint : "you can auto-dwoanload puchases on this device with just one apple id every 90 days. you cannot associated this device with a different apple id for 84 days.
         does it mean: after 84 days, i can use new apple id to download iLife & iWork for free?
    Ice.
    best regards.

    You cannot merge Apple IDs. You can only stop using them. Anything purchased under an Apple ID is always tied to that Apple ID. It cannot be transferred to another Apple ID.

  • HT204053 Can you merge two Apple IDs into one?  It was a common issue caused by the iPhone 4 and has been corrected, but transferring purchases in iTunes is a pain with two IDs.

    For a brief time when iPhone 4, iOS 4 came out, many of us ended up with two Apple IDs.  I want to know if anyone can please provide me with simple step-by-step instructions on merging two Apple IDs into one?  It would make transferring purchases on iTunes much easier and reliable.  I realize i desperately need an iOS update, but i had no laptop for over two years!  I'm posting a cry for help on that in another community.  Thank you all.

    No,
    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.

  • 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 Can you merge multiple Apple Id's into one?

    I have two different accounts and one has my music on it. I just bought an Ipad and cannot sync the music from my older Apple ID... I want to keep all my stuff on my new Apple ID. Is it possible to merge the old ID apps and content to the new ID?

    No.

  • HT204053 Can you merge multiple Apple IDs?

    I have somehow collected 3 IDs over the years and want to merge them so I don't keep having to log out and resign in every time I need to update my apps on my iPhone and iPad.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Apple IDs cannot be merged.

  • HT204053 Can I merge 2 Apple id's?

    I appear to have been using 2 Apple ID's. Is there a way of merging them into just 1 account, rather than having to actually delete/close 1 down? As I'm not sure what products, apps and software are associated with which account?

    You can't merge different Apple IDs

    can you set up apple tv using 2 different itunes accounts from 2 different macs in same household?

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.

  • Can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

    can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

    thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail  working , you are stuck! thanks anyway

  • Can you merge Apple ID's yet?

    Can you merge Apple ID's yet?  I don't need 2 yet, there's no way to merge them?  I thought Apple was going to work on this?

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

  • Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

    Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

    If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device.  The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
    To answer your question, yes.  There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account.  The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

    can i merge two Apple ID's?
    I have one with me.com and one neutral one.
    would love to have just the me.com Apple ID.
    How do I merge??

    You can't merge accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.
