How do i combine an old apple I.D. with a new Apple I. D. ?

I have an old aplle ID that I down loaded some apps and music on. Some time later I got a new ipad and set up a new apple ID. I hadnt used the old ID in a while so I had forgotten the password. Now I want to update and re-download some of the apps that were bought under the "old" apple ID. Any Ideas?
Thanks

You can't merge IDs. For the old one:

How do I get my old Ipod to sync with my new Apple ID?

Until recently, I have been using my Dad's apple ID for buying songs and using his library. Now I have my own Apple ID and spent loads of time transfering my music to this account. Now that I plug in my Pod Classic to sync it all up, it won't let me and I don't know why. Can you help?

Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Not all iBook G4s are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Requirements
Yes, it would be a paid upgrade, if compatible and available.

Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

How do I replace my old external hard drive with a new larger external hard drive and move my music so itunes can find it?

How do I move music from an old external hard drive to a new external hard drive and have itunes find it?

If you have a time machine back up of your current drive you can do this
Shut down your computer, install the new drive. While the computer is off plug in the external hard drive that you have your time machine back up on. Hold Option key while the computer turnes on, let go of the option key once you get a grey screen. Shortly after you'll see a list of bootable drives, select the one that has your time machine back up on it and boot into that drive.
From there go into disk utility, format your new drive too, osx extended journaled ( I think, double check that, its been awhile since ive had to do this), hit format
Exit disk utility and then you can use time machine to copy all your exisit data to the new hhd and then your pretty much done.
There is also a program called Carbon Cloner that will do esentially the same thing however I've never uesed it.

My apple TV works with my new apple ID but I can't turn on home sharing because for that it is asking me to turn it on with an old Verizon apple ID on my computer. I have the new ID on my computer so it is only the apple tv home sharing that is wrong.

For home sharing purposes only, my Apple TV does not recognize my new apple ID username and password. The on screen message calls for me to use my computer to

home sharing is not set on the appletv but on the itunes program on the computer which lib one wish to share
the home share password need not be the appleID password as homeshare is also meant to share your media with others on your LAN network whom you may not wish to know your appleID password
so home sharing password is set seperately in ituens on your computer

How do I get my old iphone to sync with my new Macbook Pro?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?

How do I replace my old internal hard drive with a new one?

I just ordered a new 1TB hard drive to replace my very small hard drive in my 17" MacBook Pro.
I've looked around at some of the discussions and apparently I need to format the new hard drive first. I am not so great with this techy stuff. Can someone briefly help me and explain exactly how I am supposed to do this? Like I take my old hard drive out first put the new one in.... format it. Take it out put the old one in... somehow copy it... agh confused...
Help? Thanks.

How can I update my software to be update with all new apple products? Macbook Early 2008 OS X 10.5.8 I want to update my computer instead of buying a new one.

I have an early 2008 Macbook with OS X 10.5.8
When I updated my iphone and ipad I can no longer hook them up to my computer. They require an updated version of iTunes and my computer software does not support this update. I have found similar issues with other updates. I want to be able to update my entire system, preferably without losing any documents/music/pictures/etc I would also like to be able to somehow link all of my devices together as I have seen with other computers.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

Hello jlfromcorona,
Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac. See this article for instructions.

Older songs cannot be accessed due to a previous Apple ID than that used now. Can I change my old Apple ID songs to my new Apple ID so they will be authorized to play?

My daughter started her itunes several years ago with a Apple ID(e-mail). Then she changed computers and started another Apple ID(e-mail). She has since aquired many more songs and videos. Her itunes shows old and new songs, but all the ones that were aquired with her original account cannot be accessed. The promt says they are not authorized. Can these old songs be authorized with her new Apple ID so they can be accessed and solve this problem forever?
Thanks!

If your iCloud account is the same Apple ID as the one you've changed then you will have to sign out completely (on an iPhone it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' - silly labeling: it will not delete the account from the server, only from the phone). Then you can log in with the new ID.
If your iCloud account is using a different ID from the one you've changed you can't change it to use the same login. You can change the login, provided it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address, at http://appleid.apple.com

I have an old apple ID that is associated with an email I can no longer access, but over half of my apps are associated with this Apple ID. Any idea on how to reset the apps to go with my newer Apple ID without completely wiping my iPhone?

I have an iPhone 4s. The email I need to use is completely locked because Windows believed someone else was trying to use my account (another reason Windows and I don't seem to get along). Anyway, I think my little sister may have accidentally clicked "Forgot my Password" while trying to download an app on my iPad that was under the same ID. So, an email was sent to my old hotmail account that is lockedried unlocking it, but the alternate email that was listed was an old one of my moms and she can't remember what her username was. I tried answering security questions on my Apple ID to maybe get my password to reset that way, but - since I made this account when I was about 12 or 13 - I can't even begin to remember what the answers to the security questions are. (And before anyone gets on a pedestal about how I was too young to be doing something like this, I did have parent supervision and wanted something like this of my own, so lets stick to the ACTUAL problem). So, main problem here. I now have about 30 app updates that are under an account I basically have no access to. I've deleted the apps from my home screen and tried downloading them with my new Apple ID, but it shows as if it's stored in the cloud and will only let me download it from the old Apple ID. Is there any possible way to dissociate my apps from my old ID and associate them with my newer one WITHOUT completely resetting my phone?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

My old email was hacked. My old Apple ID had the password changed and now with my new Apple ID I want to delete my old account and transfer my purchases and details to my new account. How do I go about this when I cannot access my old email as it has been

My old email was hacked and my password corrupted. Now I have a new Apple ID but cannot cancel the old ID as I no longer have access to that email address. How do I cancel the old ID and merge my purchases and details with the new Apple ID?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

I'm afraid I don't understand what this means. It seems unrelated to your topic.
