Combining two Apple IDs into a single account

I couldn't find what other forum to post this question in. Please direct me to one if there is one. Thanks.
I've accidentally created two Apple IDs and registered various hardware on each. I want to combine the two accounts into one.
How can I do that?

Hello,
Unfortunately, you cannot do that.
We just don't have that option here. My recommendation would be to use whichever account you prefer the most.
If you have points of concern to you on the other account, then use it.
You can adjust either account to your own preferences. So, the only difference between one and the other will be the user name and registration date that is attached to it (which cannot be changed) and the number of posts and awarded points for questions you have answered.
I wish I could give you the answer you are wanting. But, unfortunately that just is not an option.
Edit:
I just found that someone else has been discussing something similar here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=668526&tstart=0
You may find that discussion useful as well when considering the limitations and other factors that are affected.
I hope this helps.

Using two apple IDs on one Itunes account

I recently purchases a ipad for my 86 year old mother. I want to also add music to it that I have cd's for. She now has an Apple ID of her own and I have my own Apple ID. The problem is this, when I log out of my itunes account and log in as her, I can still see all my music library as her. How do I see NOTHING under her account, until I actually load in music for her. Then can i sync her ipad using my OWN Mac and have it appear on her ipad? I have not enabled home sharing at all. Thank you!

Phil, I am confused about your statement/answer:
""Is it possible to create two Apple IDs on one iTunes account?"
Yes. I have two."
Apple says:
"An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID."
Thus an Apple ID is the same as the iTunes account.
Did you mean can yu use more than one Apple ID on one iPod because yuo know the answr is yes.
Or have I go something wrong?

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.

HT5625 How do you merge two Apple IDs into one account?

I have two Apple IDs (it's a long story) with mixed content. I'd like to merge the accounts into one account, in order to synchronize my apple products. How do I do it?

1. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it. They probably won't.
2. Because Apple generally doesn't permit that.
3. Because the content remains associated with your Apple ID when you share it with other people.

HT204053 changing two apple ids into one

My husband and I have two different Apple Ids and we are finding extremely difficult when we are trying to download all the music we want into our IPad Air. I made the mistake of creating a new ID not knowing I could have used the main one weve been using for years. How can we go about combing our Apple IDs and just having one account?

You can't merge/combine accounts, nor transfer content between them - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync to (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) then you should be able to sync content from both to it.
If some content is currently on a different computer then you should be able to copy it over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Or you can add it to that computer's library from your backup of your downloads/library (File > Add To Library menu option)

Can you combine two Apple IDs?

I have iPad2, iPhone4, iPhone3S, MacBook Air 2011 and a Macbook Pro 2010...all running on Lion OS and iOS 5. My Issue is I have two apple accounts, one on gmail and the other on mobile me. I have lots of music from both and want to combine them so my family can just use one account instead of having them both seperate. We don't use the gmail email anymore, and would like to combine them both to the mobile me apple ID if possible? Please help!

Yes, you can change the Apple ID to which your phone is tied. Delete your existing iCloud address and provide the new one. Do the same for your email.

How to combine two user prompts into 1 single prompt from two Webi Queries

Hi All,
I developed a single webi report from two different queries on top of 2 BW OLAP universe .
Here I have one user input prompt for each query so I want to combine them into one single user input promt which should pass the user input value to both the Webi queries feeding data to the single webi report.
I found that the webi doc has auto checked merge dimensions enabled but it is not providing combined resluts from both the queries .
Any inputs are greatlt appreciated.
Thanks

Stratos
Firstly ,I appreciate your responses for my two questions.
Both the prompts I am using are from the masterdata and they are similar.data types.I think the transactional data is not available in BW for one of the prompt ,hence I am not getting consistent data.
Anyway will do further investigation in finding similarities and let you know.
Thanks a lot

Combining two mono clips into a single mono clip

I have two mono clips (two different takes of the same vocal part) that I want to combine into a single mono clip in Multitrack. I tried the Bounce feature, but it produced a stereo file (which I don't want) and I think there isn't a mono option in Bounce. So then I tried Mixdown to New File, and that produced a stereo file too. So, what's the way to get the mono file I want, and which is better for the job - Bounce, or Mixdown?

I recently filed two bug reports around bouncing tracks. I noted that bounces were always created to match the Master track channelization, not the source track, and that they appeared to be passing through the Master when they should be the raw track output.

How to merge two Apple IDs into one?

Is it possible to merge two IDs into one? I don't want to use the 'hotmail.com' extension anymore.

No. All purchases remain tied to the AppleID used to obtain them and cannot be transferred.

Possible to combine two xml documents into a single query?

In ASP, PHP, etc. if I wanted to combine two tables and
filter by one =
item, I would create a recordset combining the two on one
common element =
and have one recordset. Is that possible with xml documents
and Spry =
datasets?
I have xml information sent to me 4 times a day from a
weather service. =
This happens automatically, but the two xml documents
(current.xml and =
forecast.xml) are set in stone by the service. However, if in
my Spry =
dataset, I could combine them so I could list the 15 cities
in a master =
region and have tabs for the current conditions and forecast
which would =
each access a separate xml document but needs to do that from
the city =
link on the left, that would work great.
Can I do this as I would be able to if I had a database with
different =
tables?
Thanks!
Nancy

Hi Kin:
They are really static xml files that are placed in a folder
directly by =
the weather service. The files in question are current.xml
and =
forecast.xml.
And there is not one per city .. but just one of each. the
location =
node in current.xml and the citycode node in forecast.xml
contain the =
same information.
If I were doing this in a recordset with a database, I would
write =
something like SELECT whatever from current, forecast WHERE =
current.location =3D forecast.citycode AND current.location
=3D variable =
(which would be what is clicked on).
This sets up a master/detail arrangement for the first one
that works =
fine. Click on the city code (which I have to write something
to say If =
location =3D FAT, document.write "Fresno" and so on) and the
rest of the =
current information displays fine on the right side of the
page. Now I =
have to marry that to the forecast.xml file so that when
citycode =3D =
FAT, the five day information for Fresno shows up .. and so
on. I was =
planning to use Spry tabs or whatever to show the data.

How can i merge my two apple ids into one

Hi I am still getting my head around itunes, etc. But i have two ids and now i want to merget them into one. Is there a simple way i can do this.
i have made some purchases on each.. can you tell me a simple way please.. Thanks

I purchased some music on my phone about 18 months ago but never put them on my computer. I dont have that phone now.I guess i could just ignore the old phone data and consider it lost. and move forward...
Hello Rosalie,
You can get those songs back at no charge! You don't need the old phone. Follow one of these guides:
iTunes 10 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1619
iTunes 10 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
When you do that, make sure the song files get added to your current iTunes library on your laptop. Then just stop using the old account.

Merging two Apple IDs into one

I created a new Apple ID about a year ago when I changed my email. I didn't realize that my old music was tied to the old account. I can access it if I sign in to the old account, but it's really cumbersome to go back and forth between the two accounts, both of which have a ton of music on them. Is there any way to merge the two accounts into one since I'm the same owner of both accounts?

No.
Sorry

HT204053 Can you combine two apple ids so i only have one?

My one apple id has all the itunes on it. Somehow I am on a separate one. Can I combine them?

Yes, you can change the Apple ID to which your phone is tied. Delete your existing iCloud address and provide the new one. Do the same for your email.
