How can I merge two different user accounts without loosing stuff

I have several Apple products and long ago set up two separate Apple accounts by accident.  Now I want to merge the two into one, but be sure not to loose any pictures, etc. that may be stored with one or the other.  Is there a way to do this?

Sorry, no. You can't merge or delete Apple ID's.

  • How do you merge two different users on one computer?

    I created a user account on my computer, then when I used Migration Assistant to transfer some of the files off my old computer onto my new MacBook Air it transferred them into a new user account.  How do I merge the two different users? They are both me.

    You can't "merge" users, you have to transfer the files using intermediate steps to deal with Permissions issues.
    You found out first hand that you should use Setup Assistant, rather than Migration Assistant to perform the action that is now causing trouble, and time.
    1) Log in to the A account.
    2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
    3) Log in to the B account.
    4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
    5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
    6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
    Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
    Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

  • HT1528 How can I change administer on user accounts without a password?

    I am the sole user of my computer and do have a username and password, but somehow was unselected as an administrator. Without being selected as the administrator, I am unable to make necessary changes.  How can I correct this?

    Could you be more precise? How were you "unselected as an administrator?" What is your curren account status level?

  • How do i merge two different itunes accounts

    I have a slight problem.  I have an account where i have purchased games as well as music.  My laptop fried so my wife not knowing my account to sign back in started a new one for me.  Thoughtful yes, helpful no.  Now i have things that she purchased on one account and a whole lot of albums purchased on the other.  is there a way to merge these accounts so I can have my Ipad games and songs all on one account.  (Side bar...sorry for using the word "accoun"t so much.)

    I do not believe that yo can do this.

    Yes, create another user profile on the computer and each user can log into their own profile that way.

  • Can you have two different itunes account on the same computer

    how can you have 2 different itunes accounts on the same computer?

    You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

  • HT3819 How to use homesharing between different user accounts on the same iMac?

    I find plenty of articles about homesharing on iTunes between computers, but not between two different user accounts on the same iMac.  Any advice or direction to an existing artical is greatly appreciated.  I'm knew to the Mac and still have Windows on the brain.
    I am trying to share iTunes music and movie purchases between my user login and my wife's.
    Thanks

    Hello careymp1017,
    This can be achieved, but will not utilize HomeSharing. Further information and steps can be found in the following article.

  • HT204053 how can I merge two Apple-IDs?

    how can I merge two Apple-IDs?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Apple will not merge two Apple IDs, nor will Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

  • How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

    I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC?  If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
    Here's some details on how to do it:

  • HT1660 How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device without erasing either set of data?

    How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

    Hi,
    Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one.  Then your purchase will be billded to this new account.  Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

    Can I use two different itune accounts on one computer?

    1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
    2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.
