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.

  • HT1386 How do I merge two separate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    I set up a new account on my Mac computer. The original account (that still exists) has all of my itunes music in it (it is a shared computer, but I decided to set up my own account), but the new one doesn't. How do I transfer the music from my phone to the new itunes account or merge the two?
    Basically the itunes library on the new account is empty, so I can't sync it with my phone or else it will delete all of the music on my phone.

    Creating a new user on your computer is the easiest way to keep the media separated.

  • 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 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.

    So, when the other iTunes account needs to be used, I should log out of Windows and have the other user log in under a different Windows account, correct?  
    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

    If it is in your itunes on your computer, then select it to sync just like everything else that you sync.
    The music must be on your computer.

    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 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 I use the same music file for two accounts to be able to set up two different iTunes accounts?

    I would like to set up two different Itunes accounts on my mac.  I would like to have different accounts for my wife and I so that our devices have different accounts/contacts/email and stuff but we would like to use the same music library.  Can I set the different itunes to go to the same file to see music?  Or could I copy the music file and give the copy to the second itunes account?  I could set it up and authorize the music like for another user?  Is any of this possible?

    Hello 19firedude
    Try moving the entire iTunes Media folder to the Shared folder on your Mac and then in iTunes preferences, change the location of that folder to line it up. Then all you have to do in another user is follow the second set of steps to get that shared properly. Check out the article below for more detailed instructions.

  • 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.
