HT1373 Merging itunes accounts

I had a joint itunes account with my spouse, however we divorced. Many of the songs were added to my ipod touch and nano. I subsequently purchased an ipad and registered that device with a different itunes account. I have many songs on the ipods that I'd like to place on my new itunes account & ipad. My question is how do I merge the two accounts?

iTunes Store accounts can't be merged. If desired, click here and request assistance.

Merging iTunes accounts on the same computer...

I split my computer into two accounts, one for work, one personal. The idea being: I keep all of my work stuff on one account, personal stuff on personal account. BAM! keep the company computer.
But now, I have two separate Itunes accounts. And i've been getting most of my music during work. ****.
How can i bring everything over to my "personal" Itunes account? Is there a way to merge these two accounts? They're on the same computer...

on the work account, move the iTunes music (or media) folder from <MacintoshHD>/users/<workname>/music to <MacintoshHD>/users/shared.
log into the home account, launch iTunes, select the add to library command from the file menu, and navigate to the iTunes music folder in the shared folder. or drop the iTunes music folder from shared into the automatically add to iTunes folder inside the iTunes folder.

Merging iTunes accounts

I have two Apple iTune accounts: one under <edited by host> .... I have purchased items on both and would like to merge the accounts so that my purchases will all be under the same account which I would like to be <edited by host> Is this possible? I hope it is ...

It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it.
As these are user-to-user forums I've asked the hosts to remove your account ids from your post.

Merging iTunes accounts or editing information on an iTunes account

I had an iTunes account before I got my MacBook Pro and they have different IDs. The first account has all my purchased music and I would like to use it with my new computer. When I try to download music of the previous account from the Cloud, I get the message that the iTunes account information differs from the computer. Can the first account be edited, or can the two be merged without losing anything or having to buy again?

ed,
first, thank you for your help. Now, let me see if I can answer your questions. The iTunes account was was created when I owned a PC and an iPod. I just recently got a MacBook and created an ID for it without knowing there would be a conflict with the new ID and iTunes. I have authorized the computer with the iTunes account and when I click to download from the Cloud I get the message:
"This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days.
cancel transfer"
I just want to be clear about what this means. The only ID I would be using is my computer, so why would 90 days matter? Does this mean I can download music from my iTunes account to my computer without having to buy it again? If that is the case, I wouldn't need the original account anymore after downloading and would only be using my computer's ID for all future purchases. Does that sound right?
Thanks,

Is there anyway i can merge itune accounts?

hey guys, hope someone can help, over the last couple of years i've had about 3 different itune accounts with different emails, i was just wondering if i could merge them into one as ive brought lots of music and lots of apps.

No Apple ID's can not be merged.
Why have you created so many accounts? You could simply update your Apple ID's email to a new one if the email account stops functioning.

Merging iTunes accounts & contents

My wife & I have separate iTunes accounts on the same pc. We would like to merge into one account & be bales to share each others music , videos, etc ow do I do this please? staurt

It's not quite as straightforward as merging two accounts, which is technically not permitted. However, you can upgrade one of your music libraries to iTunes Plus (preferably the smaller of the two), then copy the music to the other library. This will place all your music in the same library.
Other purchases (such as apps) are inexorably tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. For that there is no workaround.

Merge iTunes account and mobile me

There should be a way to merge an iTunes account with an iCloud account.
I've had an iTunes account since it went online, and then 2 years ago bought a MobileMe acct.
Now with iCloud I have to ow use my iCloud acct for purchases.
How can I import my iTunes purchases into my iCloud account? Or am I now juggling two iTunes accounts?

You can not merge the two. I cloud has nothing to do with I tunes purchases. I cloud is for mail, contacts, ect. I tunes is for apps and music. I have 2 apple ids. one for i tunes and one for i cloud. the problem will be whe ni tunes match goes live. that will be fun.

How to merge iTunes accounts

I created an itunes account when i purchased my first gen iPod Touch that is linked to an old email address i do not use anymore. I now have a @me e-mail address and use this as my main Apple ID and want to move all my stuff from my old iTunes account to my new Apple ID with the @me address. Is this possible?

I'm sorry, but this isn't possible right now. Maybe we'll have more luck when Apple opens up iCloud ...
See: I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to consolidate 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.

Need help with merging itunes accounts.

Hello. I was wondering if any of you mac experts can help me. My husband and I recently purchased a new mac and are having trouble figuring out how to merge our information into our computer's itunes. I set up the computer under my apple ID/email. However we both have separate apple id's linked with the same bank account information. The problem is, itunes on our computer isn't recognizing any of the purchases through my husband's apple id, even though they were paid for through the same account. I haven't been able to figure out whether or not I can add his apple id/email to itunes and merge the two, since a substantial amount of music/apps/etc were purchased under his ID. Surely it's possible to have more than on apple id on one family's computer? Anyone know? Hopefully I worded this clearly enough. Thanks!

Open the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, click the padlock, type in your password, and then locate that account in the list of users. Delete that account and only that account; don't make any other changes. The account's home folder will remain on the drive.

How can I merge itunes accounts due to one being on a computer that no longer works?

I have an account on an old computer that no longer works although we do have it backed up. My other problem is that the original account is on the computer that does not work and is linked to an email address that was hijacked. I can not get into that email account and therefor I can not change the email account that the original account is linked with. My iphone was linked to this account and now I can not download apps because it says there was a problem with the payment source on a prior app. I can't even figure out what the problem would have been because I can not access the old email account.

Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

You cannot merge iTunes accounts, Apple does not allow it.

Can multiple iTunes accounts be merged?

What is the timeframe looking like for finally being able to merge iTunes accounts? It's very un-Apple to not bring simplicity to this issue... Any thoughts?

It is not possible to merge iTunes Store accounts. Whether it will ever be possible to do so is something none of us here, who are all just fellow users, will know.
Regards.
