Have two apple IDs.  Can I merge them somehow?

I have two apple IDs.  One from before icloud - ends in sbcglobal.net.  When icloud became available, somehow I created a new apple ID ending in me.com.  Is there some way that I can merge them so that I have only one apple ID to manage?  I have two desktop Macs, an iPad, and an iPhone 5.

No, Apple does not allow to merge AppleIDs. You can just stop using one of them.

    As said, you cannot merge accounts, nor transfer addresses from one account to another. You can add additional iCloud accounts to your Mac in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where they will appear alongside the main account. (Also on an iOS device in Settings><Mail, Contacts & Calendars).

    I have two itunes accounts can i merge them into one?

    You cannot merge iTunes accounts, Apple does not allow it.

  • I have two itunes accounts, can i merge them into one?

    I have two itunes accounts, can I merge them?

    If you are using a username for your account, you will need to change it to an email address that is required by the system now. If both your accounts are using the same email, you will need to provide another one as you will not be able to use an email for multiple accounts.
    Hope this helps.

    what information exactly do you want to consolidate? you can sever the connection between some info on your device from an icloud account and merge it into another account when you sign into it after, but you can't just merge the two accounts in their entirety. if you're more specific about the info, i can help you out

  • 2 apple IDs - can I merge them?

    I had an itunes account under one ID, but when I got my computer & iphone, I forgot I registered them under my married name/email. Is there a way to merge the 2 accounts?

    I just got off the phone w/ an Apple support guy who helped me do this very thing. Yes it is possible, though I wouldn't call it "merging" per se.
    Here are the steps that worked for me, You essentially set up a new Apple ID with one device, then log on to that new ID with your other device. But YOU MUST do it very methodically, as described below:
    - Before changing Apple ID or password, be sure to actively go in and SIGN OUT of iCloud on ALL APPLE DEVICES with the exception of the one used to make the changes:
    - MacBook Pro
    - iPod Touch
    - iPad
    - iPhone
    That way when you sign back in to iCloud on each of the devices you can then enter the new user ID or password to update them on each of the devices.
    Otherwise, the device will think the old ID/Password is still in effect and you won’t be able to connect. It gets real messy.
    If you change the ID or Password w/o doing the above, you’ll have to go back, sign out of iCloud on each of them, then:
    1) Change your user ID (temporarily) from that one device that you are using (that you did not sign out of iCloud on), verify it via email on the one device,
    3) Then go back and change it back to the original ID or Password that you changed, then…
    4) Open up iCloud in each device and type in the correct user name or password.
    Now all 5 of my devices (2 computers and 3 other gizmos) have the same user IDs and passwords.
    I hope this helps.

  • HT3819 Old and new Apple IDs - can I merge them?

    Hello all, I  wonder if you can help with this. I got an ipod around 8 years ago, and configured an apple ID on a PC, which I half forget about as I don't use that much. Fastforward to today, and I now have a MacBook and iPad, with a new Apple ID. But, all my music is on the old ID. Can they be merged? Or can I shut down my old ipod-related Apple ID and just switch everything over to the new one? Thanks!

    You can, but understand it is always tied to your old Apple ID that you will need to use if ever you need to load the files onto an iDevice or download purchased music under that ID.

  • Does anyone else have two Apple IDs? I can't get rid of one of them. It's associated with my iCloud account and I can't fix it. The password doesn't work.

    So, apparently I have two Apple IDs associated with my iPhone. One is an old aol address that got hacked and was shut down. Even aol doesn't recognize the email address anymore, and the password doesn't work. It's associated with my iCloud account, so now I can't access that account. My other Apple ID is with everything associated with my iPhone and everything works just fine. But now I can't get to my iCloud stuff. Has this ever happened to anyone else. The guy at the Apple store says he's never heard of it.

    Does the alert refer to "Local Items?"

    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.

    You need to contact App Store support. They are the only people who can help with account issues.

  • 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 you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

  • I have two apple  Ids, how do I consoliidate into one Id?

    I have two apple ids.  One for the apple store and one for the icloud and newstand. 
    How can i concsolidate the two ids into one ID.  One is associated with my Icloud
    and has payed icould stroage.  The other id is my pre os5 apple store id.
    They have different passwords.
    I use them on my IPAD.
    Howie

    You can't. There is no way to merge Apple IDs. The purchases made with these separate IDs will forever be tied to those IDs. Sorry.
