How can I merge multiple iTunes accounts

Hi All:
I have two iTunes accounts - each tied to a different email address. I'd like to merge them into one, and allow all of the songs purchased from both accounts to be accessed via only one account....Then I can close out the older account.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • HT1918 how can I merge two itune accounts?

    I had an account for itunes and, not thinking, created another one tonight, so I have music under both accounts.  How can I merge the two?

    Sorry - you can't. You can keep the music from each iTunes account in the same library, but the purchased items will always be "owned" by the iTunes ID under which they are purchased.
    My husband and I both purchase music and other stuff on his Mac in iTunes under our own iTunes IDs. Both IDs are authorized to the Mac, and everything is housed in one iTunes library. I can download his music, and he can download mine.
    However, if, say, some of the music was removed from the library and we wanted to get it back in there, we would each individually have to go to our Purchased list to download the items that we purchased in order to get them all back into the library.
    Hope that explanation helps!

  • HT1420 How can I merge one iTunes account into my other one. I have a work laptop that I've had one library one (work email address) and I also have a home library iTunes account (gmail address) but I want it all under one accnt.

    I have two iTunes libraries (one under my gmail address and one under my work email address). My work laptop is usually how I access my account and in the past 3 months that laptop has had to be replaced twice, causing me to redo my entire library. Each time, the laptop was not deauthorized, of course and I had to go through all that rigamarole. I have all of my music backed up and am able to also retrieve anything purchased over the years from the cloud, but once i get it set up and authorize the laptop to both of the email address accounts, some of the items that are in the gmail library will not play. It says that it cannot locate. At one point, a friend spent a lot of time getting it to finally recognize everything (a lot of that music that said cannot locate was from burned CD's or mp3s downloaded, not purchased from iTunes). So there is that issue and I'm not sure how to fix that.
    The other thing is that I would like to have ALL of my items under one iTunes account (my personal gmail) in the event that i no longer work for this company and have no access to that email address as it will be turned off. How can I remove one email and merge all purchases over to the gmail address account?
    Thanks!

    You cannot combine actual accounts (as in iTunes Store account).
    You can combine the music into a single iTunes collection on a computer.  There's many ways to do this.   There are some utilities to assist with keeping maximum metadata (ratings, playcount, etc.) but I am not familiar with Windows platform ones to do this, though I am sure a web search of merge iTunes library would uncover some.

  • HT1918 How can I merge 2 itunes accounts or transfer all to 1 account and close the other?

    I have 2 iTune account logins with info and devices split between them which is a legacy from previous setups. I want to merge them all into one. Is there a simple way to do this or any suggestion on the best approach to get the information across?

    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.

  • How can I use multiple iTunes accounts on one phone?

    I Have an iTunes account with iTunes match enabled. I've just moved in with my gf and want to be able to share music on our phones. I've enabled her computer and put my Apple ID in and I now have all her music on my phone (thanks to iTunes match) but when I try and **** her phone it ignores all my music. How can I get all my music on her phone? The only way I have managed it is to sign out of her account on the phone and sign in with my ID but that would mean all her purchases would be charged to me etc so this isn't a solution really

    Put everything on the computer to which she syncs, and sync them to her iPhone.

  • How do I merge my Itunes account with my Icloud account

    Hi Readers!
    I bought a Macbook Pro Retina today but I am running into a registration issue with Itunes and Icloud.
    When I try to register the Macbook I have to put in my Itunes account (name: mflentge), because of the use of Icloud I have to put in an e-mailadress to register Icloud to my Itunes account.
    Unfortunately my main e-mailadress already has an Icloud account attached to it, so I'm not able to register this e-mailadress.
    I would very much like to use I-cloud and Itunes from the same Itunes account (mflentge), and it being connected to my main e-mailadress.
    My question:
    How can I merge my Itunes and Icloud account?
    There are no important purchases or data on either of the accounts, so I don't mind deleting one if that means I can use my Apple ID + my main e-mailadress as one account.
    Thank you for your help! It is much appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Max

    Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill,
    My main problem with dropping my Icloud account is that my Icloud account is registered under my main e-mail adres.
    Can I use my current ICloud account to be my Itunes account aswell?
    Also i've been thinking to switch to the @me.com e-mailadress, are there any known limitations on the use of this e-mail (I have a Android Phone for instance, will I be able to set up an Apple e-mail account on it?).
    Best regards,
    Max

    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How can I delete an iTunes account ?

    How can I delete an iTunes account ?

    Only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account (which would also delete any purchase history for it, so you would no longer be able to authorise that content on a computer, redownload it, and download updates to its apps) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Or you could just remove any personal info from it (e.g. payment details if you have any on it) and stop using it

    I've been trying to make an account with iTunes n everytime I get to the part of the credit card that's as far as I get because I dnt have one, how can I make an iTunes account without a credit card??

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.
