How do I combine my 2 iTunes accounts.

I have 2 iTunes accounts. One for my iPhone. One for my new iPad. How do I combine these accounts.

I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem. When I set up iCloud on my iPhone4, I could not use my existing Apple ID for iCloud because it was not an email address. After making some purchases on the music store I tried to see if I could download some old purchases but they did not show up. I asked the iTunes store support person about how to fix this, if I could combine the 2 Apple ID's and I was told know, but I could switch the Apple ID on my Mac iTunes and download the old music then sync it with the iPhone. I responded that they were missing my point, that I wanted to be able to download any purchase I have made in the past to my iPhone, otherwise, what was the point of iCloud anyway.
I discovered, by accident really, that although I couldn't switch my Apple ID on the Music store on my iPhone, I could switch the Apple ID using the settings for the App Store. This ended up having the same effect so I was able to download my old music directed to my iPhone without using the iTunes on my Mac.

How do I combine my two iTunes accounts?

I had one iTunes account a few years back when I had an iPhone and have several purchased movies and music but I can't get into that account. I must be trying thr right password. Anyway, my husband bought me an iPad for my birthday and I set up another iTunes account to download games. Some of my music came over... like 4 songs. Very wierd. Anyway, I'd like to get those movies on my iPad but when I go to purchase them it says I already bought them. This is so frustrating can someone please tell me what to do?

How do I combine two different itunes accounts, one from an iphone 5 and the other from a macbook running 10.6.8?

Hello community,
Recently purchased an apple tv and as we were setting it up we came to the realization that wifey's itunes on her iphone has a different apple id - hence different account BUT she was able to download her original itunes account content to the iphone. Anyways we just want to merge the two libraries - actually since most of the music is on the macbook, we really just want to load the iphone content back to her orginal itunes account. Lots of posts out there but frankly Im a bit lost and nervous about losing anything(especially the playlists) so thanks in advance for any super simple and safe steps to take.

You can't.
If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

How do I convert my existing iTunes account to a .mac account?

I am trying to convert my existing iTunes account which uses an Earthlink address. The following is the INSTRUCTIONS from the Apple web site on how to do this.
"I just signed up for .Mac. How do I convert my existing iTunes account to
my new .Mac account?
We'll be happy to convert your account for you. Please provide your old account name, your new .Mac account name and your billing address in your email. We will also need your explicit permission to reset your password to complete the conversion."
This is the URL where I found those INSTRUCTIONS:

I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE!
I am now on my fifth exchange of emails with iTunes support.
HAS ANYBODY SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED THESE INSTRUCTIONS? I don't want to lose the ability to play my existing purchased music, but I want to close down Earthlink as my ISP.

On any page in the iTunes Store, click the flag icon at the lower right. This brings up a page saying "Choose your country or region." Click Canada.
Before you can buy anything, you will need to enter your Canadian credit card.

iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family

I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
Thanks for your help.
Sam

Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts. So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots? If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

How do I access my original iTunes account on new MacBook?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I have my original iTunes account set up on my old laptop, which I am unable to even turn on because it needs to be repaired (which I really have no intention of doing now). How do I access my old iTunes account/downloads to be on my new Mac? There was a message that read something to the effect of "cannot have your iTunes account set up on more than one computer," I think. I'm not even able to sync my iPod to my new Mac without risking losing all of the content that is on my iPod. I have iTunes open on my Mac, am able to send downloads there, but I do not think I am signed in (they are all NEW downloads, nothing old from old laptop). PLEASE HELP!! Thanks in advance.

In other words, how can I access my iTunes library/content from iTunes on my other computer?

How do i add a second itunes account on same email

How do i add a second itunes account on the same email address?

Create a new AppleID (or use a different one if you are already doing so), then sign onto the iTunes Store that way and set up payment etc.
There's many other aspects to this question, including if you want this all to go to the same library, the same user account on the computer, etc.
Warning: For the purposes of redownloading items (make sure you understand redownload vs. first time download) you can only change primary AppleID associated with a computer every 90 days. For other things such as buying new items there is no restriction.
Items purchase under one account cannot be transferred to another. you will still always have to use the old ID for any purchase you made under that ID.

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:

How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

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).
