How Do I Merge Multiple Apple Accounts? (iCloud and iTunes)

My old MoblieMe.com account wags created under my Me.com address while my iTunes account was created under my Gmail.com account. My old MobileMe.com/New iCloud.com account has a one year of free extra storage attached to it. My iTunes account has all my past purchases attached to it. Would rather not loose either. Is there any way to merge the two accounts?

yep - me too - I cannot believe that you can't merge 2 accounts! I am getting in a real muddle now. I know it seems crazy at this point as to why I set up a new account under a new email - but registering yet more new Apple equipment it was easily done!!

How do I link multiple apple accounts?

I have 3 apple ID's and 2 i tunes libraries...... I want to connect them so they are multi-funtional.???

No such option exists - you can transfer content purchased/downloaded with one iTunes account to another iTunes account, and you can't merge multiple accounts. If any of the content includes DRM protection, that remains associated with the account that was used to download the content.

How do I consolidate multiple apple accounts

I have created 2 apple accounts with 2 separate emails. Is there a way to consolidate these to share the same payment/purchases/etc.?

No. But you can simply top using one although anything purchase under its Apple ID is permanently attached to that Apple ID and cannot be transferred to the other Apple ID.

HT204053 Family shared Apple ID, Icloud and Itunes passwords & accounts confusing

We started out sharring itunes when kids were smaller and now they are older and have their own iphone5. How do you share itunes (with one password) with the family and all have their own icloud with individual icloud information without it all crossing. The Apple store said it was possible. Any ideas how to separate the passwords? Every time I change mine it makes the Apple ID and my Icloud the same and the kids have their own Icloud email and passwords they just set up. Trying to make Apple ID and Icloud separate passwords and family share itunes or even split itunes up somehow if we have to.

You can continue to share the same Apple ID for iTunes on all your devices; it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. If you change your iCloud account to a new ID you will be creating a new account, which will leave your current iCloud email address and photo stream behind. Is that what you want to do?

You can access the itunes store without an account at all.
You would need a method of payment in order to purchase from the itunes store.

I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in. I am told my ID or password is incorrect. I did change my primary email address. that is the app ID that is showing.

How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software? I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID. I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air. Where can i get on-line assistance?

If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

You don't. You can't combine Apple IDs.

You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id). I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices. Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime. The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
Please Help...
I appreciate the help and support.

P and V-
If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID. Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy". That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping. If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
From the Home screen, double click your Home button. You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen. Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle. You will then see a red minus sign on each. Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background. (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)

How to merge two Apple accounts by migration

Hello to you all
My question relates about merging two apple accounts.
Having two accounts is an issue (for instance when you start setting up Family sharing, or trying to get phone calls on your Mac)
As we know, merging two accounts is alas (still ?) not possible.
But it should be possible to address the issue it my migrating data.
As many people, I have two accounts:
Account A: [email protected], with all my purchases (iTunes, apps, machines)
Account B: [email protected], with my calendar, contacts, bookmarks, photos...
The best possible option seems to keep account A:
- Transfer the data from B to A
- Possibly transferring the [email protected] address into A
- Close B
About the data transfer:
- Transferring iCloud documents is easy (using the Finder)
- Transferring contacts, events bookmarks is also easy as they can be exported (ex .VCF or html)
- Transferring Notes can be done by moving the notes from the iCloud list to the On my Mac List
- Transferring Passwords and Photostreams is difficult (No Export solution for KeyChains, No way to transfer ownership of a photo stream)
- I do not know yet about transferring the iCloud email address [email protected] into the [email protected]
So my questions are:
1) Do you have any idea about transferring Passwords in KeyChain from one iCloud account to another ?
2) Do you have any idea about transferring ownership of a photo stream to one iCloud account to another ?
3) Do you have any idea about the email address transfer
4) Do you have any other way to do this ?
Thanks for your attention
Kind regards

The easiest thing to do would be to use an iOS device, such as your iPhone to migrate the data from one account to the other. You can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign out of account B, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide your password when prompted, then sign back in using ID A to create a new iCloud account and choose Merge when prompted to upload the data. This will not migrate notes, which as you said, can be dragged and dropped between accounts on your Mac.
This will also not move your existing iCloud email account. You cannot move an iCloud email account to a new iCloud account. You would either have to switch to the new @icloud.com email account that goes with your new iCloud account, or continue to use the existing email account as a "secondary account" To do this, you would go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud on your iOS devices (and System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud on your Mac), sign back into account B and turn on Mail. Just be aware that, at least on an iOS device, this would not be push email as push is only supported in the primary iCloud account.
Photo stream cannot be moved between accounts either, not can it be enabled in a secondary account. If you want to keep your photo stream photos you'll have to either save them to your device, or add them to a shared album before signing out of the existing account (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). Another option would be to import them to your iPhoto events, then add them back to your new photo stream using iPhoto when you sign into the new iCloud account on your Mac.
For iCloud keychain, I believe you can turn it off iCloud keychain and you will be given an option to keep a copy of any saved passwords and credit card information on your device. Then set up iCloud keychain again once you are signed into your new iCloud account.

Sign in with the correct ID.
