From several apple ids on one device to one account

I have sort of an opposite issue. I installed some free apps using my ID on my friend's phone when they couldn't accesses their own id. I thoughts it's no big deal, but now they can see all the apps I ever purchased via iCloud and can install them on their phone! I want to stop it. Will deleting those apps on their device solve it? Now the phone contains apps from two apple accounts. I wish there was a way to scan a phone via iTunes and simply delete specific apple ids? Thanks.

Apple ID is not meant to share with your friends.
On your friend's iPhone: Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > sign out here and delete those apps downloaded using your Apple ID.

Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

Over the course of many years I seem through using different computers to have several apple ids and three email addresses, this is causing problems with synchronising, I have an iPod, iPhone and ipad

Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers

Someone made a purchase from my Apple ID to a device that was not mine – I received an email stating that this occurred, yet the only solution that Apple gave me was to change my password. When I look at my account, I can see the $20.00 purchase of music volumes that I did not purchase myself and was not uploaded to any of my devices; however, I cannot find a solution to getting my money back or to file a complaint against the unknown person that did this. Additionally, how do we prevent something like this from happening again, especially when I have an iPhone? What can I do in this situation?

Thank you for the suggestion. I did change the password; however, I generally will purchase gift cards to link to the account so that if something like this ever happened it would not be taken out of a credit card or bank account.

I have several Apple IDs, but since last week only 2 of them are working.

My daughters iPad has just been factory restored from the apple shop, she was using my iTunes account with her email. When trying to create her own iTunes as she is the correct age it has come up that her email is already being used. How do we do this with he same email address

Hello spooner68,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to create an Apple ID for your daughter. Because her email address is associated with your Apple ID, you are receiving the message that the email address is in use.
To remedy this, you will have to first remove her email address from your account using steps 1-3 of the section titled "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" in the article below and then attempt to create her Apple ID with her email address:
How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID
If you have an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID, you may need to remove it from your other Apple ID before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
Sign in to My Apple ID with the Apple ID that has the email address already associated with it.
Find the email address that you want to move to your preferred Apple ID, then click Delete.
Click Save Changes, then click Sign Out at the top of the page.

Accessing purchases made with 1 Apple ID from multiple Apple IDs

I have been sharing 1 Apple ID to make all purchases and homeshare for the household. As I now begin to add new IOS devices (IPAD, Iphones, etc.) and the kids want their own IDs for purchases and icloud syncs, is it possible to access music and app purchases made under the original id with the new id(s) so tey dont lose any of their existing stuff? Put another way, can multiple ids access purchases made under one master id?
Thanks

I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response..

How can I combine Apple IDs so all devices are same

Somehow I ended up with 2 apple ID's and my devices wont share from Mac to Iphone, Ipad and mini......
How can I change them.
Changing Apple ID wont work as rescue email is one of the accounts names I want to change. And cannot get back into "rescue" email format to delete

You can't
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.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

How many apple ids can I have on one icloud account

I have one apple ID. My iphone is linked to this apple ID and so is our Ipad. The ipad gets all of my mail, but also gets all of my text messages. This is not the greatest situation. When my husband got his work iphone, he was told to use my apple id so he would have access to all of my music and purchased items. That really messed things up because he was getting all of my mail and suddenly all of our contacts were shared. Not good!
We are now trying to set up a new ipod touch for one of the kids. Don't want the same situation as above. I want this to have a separate identity but still be on our account so it can share all of my apple purchases.
What is the best way to do this? I briefly talked to someone at the apple store a few months back and he said that you can have multiple apple ids on one account. Anyone have any tips on setting these up? Want to avoid any unnecessary newbie mistakes.

You can't have multiple IDs on one account, but you can use multiple IDs for different purposes on the same device.
Just use the one AppleID for iTunes and the AppStore so you can all share your music and app purchases. Then each person should have their own individual AppleID with associated iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, iMessage and FaceTime.
You don't have to use the same AppleID for all services.

Two people, two apple IDs, three iPods, two iPads, one Mac. Can we use wifi sync?

We have two apple IDs and multiple iOS 5 devices. We'd like to consolidate to a single Mac and use wifi sync with it. But can we run two instances of iTunes on one box at the same time and have that work? Or do we need to consolidate to a single iTunes and single apple ID? Or give up on both being able to do this, and just pick one to do it this way and make the other person keep using the old way?
Thanks!

How can I check email from 2 Apple IDs on my Mac?

Since recently, I can´t check my .me mail account any more on my Macbook any more.
I have 2 Apple IDs, and the main one is another email address (which I need, too). Therefore, I can´t access the .me email any more from my Mac.
Will I have to buy a Windows machine to check my Apple mail???
To be precise:
It DID work just fine for about 6 years, but recently it stopped working.
And it looks like the only way to change this in the settings, would be to lose all the settings, fotos, emails, calenders, ... from the other Apple ID - which I don´t want.
--> HOW can I check my .me email from my Macbook - WITHOUT logging off everything else???

...ok, that did not do the job either:
Whenever I did choose "other", as soon as I entered my Email address, it just switched back to my active iCloud account, not letting me continue.
Checking everything again and again, I just realized that both email addresses in question are already attached to my other Apple ID (the one I referred to as the active acct.), whereas the Apple ID in question does NOT have any Apple email address attached to it.
--> So it looks like I am actually getting all the Apple emails into one account - which is great.
--> I kind of see now why I can´t create another account there (considering that it would have to use one of the email addresses twice)
So I´m cool with Email now, I guess... thanks for your help!
But what about the notes that are attached to my secondary Apple ID?
Internet Accounts (in System prfs.) shows that I now have 2 iCloud Interent accounts. My "primary" acct., that has all the iCloud features, and another one without them - and it has "Email", and "Notes" unchecked (Contacts, Calender and the reminders are checked/activated).
Whenever I try to check the "notes" box in that account (still under System Prefs. / Internet Accounts), I am prompted for an iCloud Email to continue.
- Entering my (primary) icloud email does not work ("already taken" msg.)
- Choosing one from the drop down menu (suggestions) does not lead any further. All I get then is: "The program Notes can not be activated... please wait a moment and retry..."
- Making up a totally new one does not work either.
(same applies when I try to check the "Mail" box in order to activate Mail for that account)
Any ideas how I can go from here? Is there another way to create an iCloud Email (which apparently is needed to access my old notes)?
PS: I´m glad we found a way to communicate, the conversation with you has really helped me find the problem with my iCloud Email! It is frustrating when you feel you´re stuck and keep turning in circles...

Itunes music from 2 apple IDs on 1 iPhone

Hi -
I have two separate Apple IDs and while I understand I can't merge them, can I get the music from both into one itunes library and then sync my iphone with this library. I just want to be able to listen to music from my new and older account on the same iphone.
Is there any way to do this?
Thank you,
Shosho

Just add the songs to iTunes then sync the iPhone.

Apple IDs for loan devices

Roger has very handily answered one question regarding separating the two devices that had been on one Apple ID.
As part of my job I also am purchasing 4 devices, which will all have to be set up with unique Apple IDs. All I can think of is setting them to link in to one email address. How to set up those IDs without putting in credit card details is a major problem, however. These devices will be on short-term loan to disabled users, none of whom should be able to install or alter anything by using the relevant Apple ID for the specific device.
Any user obviously can set up their own Apple ID, with their own credit card details, if they wish to purchase software to use on the device. It is just the initial Apple ID and assistive software installation for each device that we are having problems working our way around.
Has anyone got any ideas about how this might be managed? Surely enterprise users of iPads must run into these problems all of the time, and I don't think that all of them would have a corporate credit card. The problem is because, as far as I know, no one can set up an Apple ID without putting in credit card details. Although this is not an issue if it is on one's own device, it could be problematic if this is on a loan device.
I welcome any suggestions.
Regards,
Siamekko

Thank you; I don't know why I couldn't find this during my searches.
