HT1918 How can I merge 2 itunes accounts or transfer all to 1 account and close the other?

I have 2 iTune account logins with info and devices split between them which is a legacy from previous setups. I want to merge them all into one. Is there a simple way to do this or any suggestion on the best approach to get the information across?

From Here   http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
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.

  • 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,

  • HT1420 How can I merge one iTunes account into my other one. I have a work laptop that I've had one library one (work email address) and I also have a home library iTunes account (gmail address) but I want it all under one accnt.

    I have two iTunes libraries (one under my gmail address and one under my work email address). My work laptop is usually how I access my account and in the past 3 months that laptop has had to be replaced twice, causing me to redo my entire library. Each time, the laptop was not deauthorized, of course and I had to go through all that rigamarole. I have all of my music backed up and am able to also retrieve anything purchased over the years from the cloud, but once i get it set up and authorize the laptop to both of the email address accounts, some of the items that are in the gmail library will not play. It says that it cannot locate. At one point, a friend spent a lot of time getting it to finally recognize everything (a lot of that music that said cannot locate was from burned CD's or mp3s downloaded, not purchased from iTunes). So there is that issue and I'm not sure how to fix that.
    The other thing is that I would like to have ALL of my items under one iTunes account (my personal gmail) in the event that i no longer work for this company and have no access to that email address as it will be turned off. How can I remove one email and merge all purchases over to the gmail address account?
    Thanks!

    You cannot combine actual accounts (as in iTunes Store account).
    You can combine the music into a single iTunes collection on a computer.  There's many ways to do this.   There are some utilities to assist with keeping maximum metadata (ratings, playcount, etc.) but I am not familiar with Windows platform ones to do this, though I am sure a web search of merge iTunes library would uncover some.

  • How can I delete my itunes account and create a new one ?

    Hi Everyone
    I've got a problem with my current account itunes (french) :
    I'm between France and Spain. I usaully use french applications but I would like to be able to pick some apps in the spanish itunes store, and in the english one (such as i already do in the french one). Lately I change my payment data to my spanish visa card data, since then I cannot download any app anymore.
    So I tried to create a new account in the itunes store choosing the spanish location, but it s not possible since my actual email adress is the back up email adress of my french account .
    Can you please provide me some support ?
    A good day to you all.
    Audrey

    You can access www.appleid.apple.com and open your old account and delete.

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • HT1918 How can I delete an iTunes account?

    Need to delete new account in order to use current email on the original account

    You can't currently delete an iTunes account.  If you want to use the email address on your old account then you will need to go into the new account and change its email address to something else (if you don't have another email account then create via, for example, gmail), and you should then be able to use that address on the old account.

  • How can i unlink my iTunes Account and my IPhone.?

    i want to unlink my account.
    bcoz i registered my crediet card inf. to my account.
    and i dont want to buy app now.
    now i want to log off my account in my IPhone in case i buy some app.
    what should i do.?
    thanks very much.!

    You can't 'unlink' the iPhone from your iTunes account (unless you change the iTunes account you're logged into on the computer, then sync, but ion that case you won't be able to use the apps you have already bought).
    You can remove the credit card from the account in iTunes > Store menu > View My Account > Edit Payment Information and setting the credit card area to None (I think this option will be available). Alternatively, on the iPhone you can select Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions and set Installing Apps to OFF.

    What model Mini?
    How to identify Mac mini models
    If you have another Mac there are ways to use the other Mac to regain use of the "new" Mac.
    Try booting to recovery and see if you can reinstall the OS:
    OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
    Doing so depends upon the OS that was on the Mac before and what was done.
    Otherwise you will need to boot from install disks.
    You can call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE
    If you have a Mac with an Intel processor you can order Snow Leopard install disk here
    and boot from it and format the disk and instll Snow Leopard.

    You should be able to log into your account via the Store > Sign In menu option - if the drop-down menus aren't showing the control-B should them to show.
    Your balance should be accessible wherever you are signed into the account. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option (that option will only show after you've signed in).

    I have account on iTunes I start with my email for my daughter when we got her a new iPod know I have a iPad for myself using same account want to get new one for her and let have her music off my account

    You can create a new account (e.g. via this page), but you can't currently copy or transfer content from one account to another - so anything that was bought or downloaded via your account will remain tied to your account

    Click "Account" under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store. Next to payment information click "Edit" and then select "None" under payment method.
    On an iOS device go to Settings>Store>Apple ID>View Apple ID>Payment Information>None.
    If "None" is not an option, you may want to contact iTunes support:
