How do I merge two iCloud accounts?

I accidentally created a different iCloud account from my old Mobile Me and an entirely new one. The old Mobile Me one wasn't working on all my devices, but the new one is, so I want to merge the old into the new. Is that possible?

To move contacts between accounts:
Go to users and groups and choose only your iCloud Contacts to display. If you are logged into two iCloud accounts you will need to make sure you select the right one.
Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
Delete the contacts from Address Book (using your delete key).
Make sure your iCloud (the one you want to keep) account is your default account (preferences > general).
Select All iCloud contacts (the one you want to keep) from users and groups.
Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
Select All contacts in users and groups
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

HT201269 how to merge two icloud accounts

I have an Iphone 4s & I bought a Iphone 5S but I have two Icloud accounts instead of one. Can someone help me merging both accounts into one.

You can't merge Apple IDs. If you just created a new one, stop using it. Don't buy anything using it. Sign out of it on our new phone and sign back in with your original Apple ID.

No, you cannot merge two account. You could set up and use both accounts on your devices for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, but would have to decide which account you prefer to use for services like iMessage, Photo Stream, Find My iPhone, Documents and Data.

How can I put two icloud accounts in the same pc?

Hallo, I have two icloud accounts, one for me and another for my wife, and I would like to put the two accounts in the same pc, because I want to share all the photos of the two accounts with the pc automatically, but I do not know how to do this. The icloud panel only let me to put one account, and if I want to put another account I have to put out before the first account.

I found some clues last week in these linkes.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html#java
Which has the contents like the below:
Example:
Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
I tried the method of change the control panel but they did not work either.
Any other helps?
Thanks in advantage.

How do I merge two itunes accounts?

Somehow I ended up with two iTunes accounts. This was not by design, but rather because of the convoluted sign-up process and my unfamiliarity with it. I didn't deal with it before now because it wasn't a problem until now. What has caused it to be a problem is that I just got an iPad to go along with my iMac, iPhone, and MacBook Pro (trust me, I never thought I'd see this day, but I needed a system that was integrated).
Since accounts are associated with users, the songs that show up on my iPad are different that what's on my iMac. I could describe the problems and challenges in detail, but I'm sure any knowledgable users can imagine what they are.
Now, in order to use iCloud, I have to move from Snow Leopard to Lion, which is going to be a bear (even moreso since a new back-up drive nearly destroyed my computer, and I have a query about it in another post-- the problems just keep on rolling). How do I associate all my purchases from one account with the other one so I can keep credit for songs and apps? Many thanks for all help. -J.

Hello HEScruggs,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You cannot merge multiple Apple ID accounts into one. See below for more information.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

Can I merge two iCloud accounts?

I have created two seperate Apple IDs and iCloud accounts. So I purchased some of my APPS in my MAC from the one and some from the other. Can I merge these two so that I dont need to log in and out from each account to update the APPS?

No. See: Apple IDs and iCloud

HT1918 how can I merge two itune accounts?

I had an account for itunes and, not thinking, created another one tonight, so I have music under both accounts. How can I merge the two?

Sorry - you can't. You can keep the music from each iTunes account in the same library, but the purchased items will always be "owned" by the iTunes ID under which they are purchased.
My husband and I both purchase music and other stuff on his Mac in iTunes under our own iTunes IDs. Both IDs are authorized to the Mac, and everything is housed in one iTunes library. I can download his music, and he can download mine.
However, if, say, some of the music was removed from the library and we wanted to get it back in there, we would each individually have to go to our Purchased list to download the items that we purchased in order to get them all back into the library.
Hope that explanation helps!
Cheers,
GB

How can I proceed to merge two iCloud accounts?

I have 2 accounts: the [email protected] account linked with itunes and all my apps on the iphone and the [email protected] with all the emails, documents in the cloud etc.
How should I procede to consolidate the 2 into one account?

You can't merge accounts.
If you want to use just one account, you need to use the account that you currently use for iTunes, otherwise you will lose all your purchases.
If you log out of the other account in iCloud, you will offered the option of saving certain data to your device which you can later merge with your preferred ID data when you sign in. This does not include mail, notes or photos, but there are ways you can save this data if you plan ahead.
