How to remove "two ghost accounts?"

Hi. I am trying to activate my account. When I registered, I noticed that I had two accounts, that have never been active. How to remove them?

It is reduculous to not be able to merge accounts. I created an account with a user name and that was my original setting, then itunes would not accept the user name that I had all of my purchases with and made me use my e-mail address for the user name and create another account. Now I have two accounts with many of the same purchases, but several that are not, and my iPad is on one account and my iPhone is on another. I can now access either one on iTunes, but I cannot share the same purchases across the two of them. This problem was created by Apple iTunes, and not me. Now you say that I have to spend a lot of money to re-purchase many of the same things again so that I can put both my iPad and iPhone on the same account. It's no wonder that so many people are stuggling with whether to continue using iTunes or not. You have way too much control over your users.

Hello! scottocs
Me to have the exact same problem, I can not solve the problem.
To solve the problem:
1. Download the twitter app from the App Store,
2. Right click (control click) the app and click show package contents,
3. Open contents,
4. Copy the folder that says '_MASReceipt'
5. Paste that folder in the same location in the app you downloaded off of the Internet, replacing the original one,
6. You might need to restart the App Store or your computer for the change to take affect,
Please tell me how to remove this iTunes account?

How to sync two iCloud accounts with MS-Outlook?

Hi People!
Me and my wife have iPhones and each of us has a personal "[email protected]" account.
We share the same desktop computer at home, and I am wondering how to bring both accounts info (e-mail, contacts and calendar) to the MS-Outlook.
Does anybody knows how to do so??
Some info:
-We really share the desktop, i.e., we both login using the same ID and we don't want to create separate Windows accounts
-We don't want the contacts to get mixed.
-I already configured the iCloud Control Panel to bring my personal iCloud info into the Outlook, and it is working fine
-I simple couldn't find a way to create a second iCloud Control Panel to configure my wife's iCloud account.
Thanks for the help!
Marcello.

You cannot merge two iCloud accounts.
you can delete and keep one iCloud informations on iPhone and then connect to other one, then you just will need to merge the informations.
But you will always have the 2 diferent iCloud accounts.
keep me posted

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.

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.

How to merge two user accounts?

I have two user accounts I would like to merge into one. What would be the easiest way to go about doing this? I am mostly concerned about moving files, including preferences files, handling the mail accounts and browers bookmarks shouldn't be too troublesome for me.
Thanks

My favourite way to move files from Account A to Account B:
1) Log in to the A account.
2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
3) Log in to the B account.
4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

How to Merge two user accounts(duplicate accounts) in SharePoint 2013?

Hello,
There are 2-3 user accounts with the same name. I want to merge those accounts in one account with only one name. How to do it in SharePoint 2013? Is there any PowerShell command or script to do that?
Please Guide.
chirag

Hi chirag,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the user accounts which have duplicated names in SharePoint 2013.
Were there duplicated user accounts in Active Directory?
If not, the user may had two accounts in AD and one of the accounts that doesn't exist anymore is still used in SharePoint.
Please check if there is any permission assignment to this user, remove all their assignments and add them again only for the valid account.
Here is a similar issue for you to take a look:

How to link two ID account to only one

I have two Apple ID account, and I would like to link them into one account without losing my purchase on both account. How this is possible?

You cannot link two Apple ID's together. You can only log into one and download its purchases, and then log out and into the other account. You should choose one to continue using for the foreseeable future, and hope that someday Apple allows you to link accounts.

How to use two different accounts in iTunes

I have purchased apps under two different email accounts and I am now unable to use the initial account. Having deleted some apps because of problems, I am recharged for the apps because apple will not accept the original password and user name. When I try to add it to my apple account, I get a message that this particular user name is already in use. (yes, by me!) Please help.

Contact Apple about your iTunes accounts and maybe they can combine the two.

I have an Ipod and my mum has an IPhone. The songs from my IPod are backed up on my computer and we would like to have different music, but both backed up on the same computer. How do i do this without erasing all the music etc that is already on my mums phone?

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, create a new library, and import her song files to it. Alternatively, create a new user account on the computer, move the song files to a shared area, and then import them.

How to remove duplicate iCloud accounts

Hello! I just got the iPhone 5. I set up iCloud on my phone but my contacts and calendar stuff weren't syncing, so I synced my info through iTunes
the old fashioned way. My contacts and calendar events are all good but now for some reason my mailboxes are screwed up! I somehow have multiple inboxes but I only have ONE iCloud account. Under accounts, on the Mailboxes page, it shows one account called iCloud and one called my email address (me.com). ***? What did I do and how do I reverse this? It's not the end of the world but I'd rather not have my mail all screwed up like this. My last iPhone was the 3G, this whole iCloud thing is confusing. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried turning notes syncing off, restarting then trying again.
