How can I merge my two iTunes accounts?

How do I merge two iTunes accounts?

You can only stay logged in with one at a time.
Apps bought on one account will always be associated with that account and will require logging into that account to update.

  • HT1918 How can i merge my two itunes accounts?

    apparently I have two iTunes accounts.  How can I merge them and get rid of one.

    It's not currently possible to merge accounts, content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it.

  • TS3988 how can i merge my two icloud accounts information

    How can I merge my two iCloud accounts information

    Apple doesn't provide a direct merge operation but you can connect in one account, disconnect but keep the data on the device, then connect with the other account and merge the data.
    Details...
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, log into the other iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the first account's photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the other account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

    I have two itunes accounts, one on a pc and one on my mac, can anyone help me merge the two accounts without losing any of my content.

    You're welcome. Maybe in the future this policy will change but at the moment you have to use both for updates.
    You can of course give them a feedback

  • Can I merge my two iTunes accounts before upgrading to iCloud?

    I've had an iTunes account since 2003, and a mobileme account since 2005.  When I recently upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5, it forced my iTunes account login to my mobileme email.  Now I sign in and purchase tunes and apps on my iPhone using the new me.com account.  I expect that the migration to iCloud will force me to use the me.com account.  This will likely mean that my regular old iTunes account, which has thousands of purchased tunes and apps, won't function on iCloud.  Is there a way to merge these accounts together?

    Hello Elarsson
    According to Apple, there is no way to merge accounts either before or after migrating to iCloud. What many have ended doing (me included) is to use one account for iTunes and one for iCloud.
    I know that it would be better to just have a single account for everything, but it seems like it is just not possible.

  • HT4796 how can i merge my pc itunes account with my macbook itunes

    I wanna use the migration assisstant but i want it to be on my main mac profile, the migration thing says it will create a  new user account (totally effin lame). My question is whats the quickest and easiest way to get my itunes over. I have 45 gb of music, 8 gb of photos, 2 gb of videos and about 6 gb of apps. I have a lot of stuff so i know it will take a while. Im considering using my dads passport harddrive and making a copy then copying it over to the macbook. However I have heard formatting is an issue when going form pc to mac. Blahhh I just want all my data on my mac, on my profile. Thanks a lot if you could help me with this

    Thanks for the feedback Ed.
    It was 18 months ago now that I moved over so inevitably I've setup a UK iTunes.
    With iCloud I now have 3 accounts - UK, Australia and @me.com!
    Surely there is a way to combine all three and have one universal password?

  • HT204150 After upgrading to Windows 8, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud" and "Contacts from iCloud".   How can I merge the two into one Contacts list.

    After upgrading to Windows, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud"  plus "Contacts from iCloud".  How can I merge the two to avoid duplication.

    Hi Ingo 2711,
    Thank you for your suggestion.  I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly.  I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls.  I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

  • My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
    Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
    If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

  • HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

    How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

    The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
    It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
    So while it is possible, it's not advisable.

  • How can I charge my chinese iTunes account with a 25 euro gift card I bought in Germany?

    How can I charge my chinese iTunes account with a 25 euro gift card I bought in Germany?  Thanks.

    iTunes gift cards can only be used in the store in the country in which they are bought - so if you bought a German iTunes gift card then you will need a German iTunes account. If you haven't got a German iTunes account then do you know anybody with one who could give/sell it to ?

    Please explain further.
    You don't need an AppleID to access an iTunes library. An iTunes library is stored on your computer.
    Default location is /Music/iTunes/ folder.
