HT1296 I have accidentally created two iTunes accounts and I clouds. How do I merge these into one account

When I closed my mobile me account it appears as if it created two iTunes accounts and two iCloud's. Is there a way to combine the apps and data into a single account. I want to get this straightened it before I get a new phone.

Sorry... can't be done. Apple says no when it comes to merging accounts.

I have two apple Id accounts how do I merge them into one account

I have two apple Id accounts how do I merge them into one account

you can't merge Apple ID's
From the FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
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.

I have two apple ids somehow, probably from two mobile and two computers - how do I merge them into one account so they all work with iCloud?

Somewhere, somehow, between two mobile and two macs, I ended up with two apple ids. I figured that this was the root of my problem to syncing. So, I am syncing Mail, Contacts, etc through the one account that I bought storage on this year in iCloud. I want to merge the two accounts, since many of my apps were purchased with my other id. Apparently, Keynote will not merge files since the app was bought with the second id, not the id I am using for icloud.
What to do??? I read, in the forums, that I am definitely not alone. I always had the id I used for the Apple Store to buy iTunes items, and then apps. The other id, that I am using for iCloud was based on my iDisk id, and apparently I set up as a separate account. The much failed iDisk account appears to be the one that I wish I never got involved with. Should I feel the same way about iCloud. If I cannot merge the two APPLE accounts from the same person (ME!!!), then many dropbox really is the answer for my file sharing needs.
Please help me decide.

To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
To go back to your question; you cannot merge accounts, but perhaps using one account for iCloud and the other for iTunes will resolve the majority of the reasons you needed to merge to begin with.

HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one?

I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one account?

Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID?

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID? I have purchased music and video in both.

No, it is not possible to merge accounts. Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything?

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything? We both use Iphone 5's and share an Imac at home.

Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.

It is not possible to merge AppleIDs.
If soemthing changes (ISP, email or you moved), just update your current AppleID.

My document seems to be in three distinct sections. I think that because the thumbnails have three distinct yellow frames around them. Can I merge these into one document?

Gill,
The three sections are one document. There are usually good reasons for Section Breaks, so you'll want to be sure that you really need to delete them. To get rid of the Section Breaks, just place your cursor at the top of the page following the break and press Delete until the Section Break goes away. It should take only one click for each case.

HT203167 My iphone 5 has dumped Safari, itunes,AppStore and camera. How do I retrieve these apps?

My iphone 5 has lost the following apps: Safari, itunes, appstore and camera.
How do I retrieve these apps?

An iPhone cannot "dump" or "lose" those features.
They can be turned off in Settings > General > Restrictions or blocked by an Exchange Admin when an Exchange profile is loaded.

Accidentally created two iTunes accounts

My brother accidentally created two apple IDs/iTunes accounts one for his phone one for his iPad. So he gets billed twice when he downloads the same app on both devices. Can he combine the accounts?

Ok, that's what says everywhere.
Now, the reason why some of Us have two accounts under the same email (no way to do it on purpose because youru email address is checked against existent ones on sign up) is because we've been told to use our emails instead of the iD, to get some things working properly. e.g. .mac user with expired product or free .mac user id owner who never purchased a subscription (as I did: no .mac email account)
…and… in my case it seems the purchase history stayed with the ID.
Probably it's correct under iTunes policies because technically, the user ID IS different.
What should We do?
a) To keep logging in with the .mac account and getting some issues with FaceTime or other because user ID and email don't match.
b) Using the email address as login and losing the purchase history?
Thanks.

My wife and I have seperate itune accounts, but want to merge them into one account or at least merge our seperate purchases into one library. Is this possible?

Basic problem...my wife has her own iTunes account which she purchases music with, I have my own that i have been purchasing music with...however, married now as we have similar tastes in music and dont want to be duplicating albums etc.
Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? Or if not, that we carry on purchasing music but have one shared library. Is this possible, any help appreciated.
Thanks

"Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? "
No.
Just put all of your music/apps/etc on one computer/library. Authorize the computer for both ids.
