HT1918 How do I merge my two apple ID accounts?

I have 2 apple ID accounts and would like to combine them including contacts, music and photos. How do I do this?

You cannot merge accounts at all.
Sorry.
You can put all of your contact on your computer and all of your pics and music on your computer if you like.  Not sure what the account has ot do with it.

  • How can I merge my two Apple ID's?

    I recently activated an iCloud account after upgrading to an iphone5.  ICloud requires an Apple ID in the form of an email address.  My Apple ID was not an email address.  Let's say it was "JohnDoe".  So I logged onto my "JohnDoe" Apple account and tried to change the ID to my one and only email address, "[email protected]".  Well it seems that a number of years back I had already set up an Apple ID with that email address.  No problem, I used the "[email protected]" apple ID  to set up my iCloud account.  Here's the problem.  I had tons of songs, books, apps, etc. saved in a  wish list on my old "JohnDoe" apple ID.  I have a credit on it from itunes gift cards.  Plus, a few of my apple products are registered to that ID.  (My iphone5 is now registered to the "[email protected]" Apple ID.)  I want to have one Apple ID ([email protected]) with my wish list, all my products and everything linked to it.  Can I merge the two? 
    Thanks

    Given the way Apple insists on working with setting up new devices (i.e. the set-up processes have been encouraging duplicated Apple IDs) it is entirely reasonable to request the ability to merge Apple IDs for those of us who have supported the company for years and have bought a lot of devices, accessories, software, music, books etc from Apple Inc
    When do you think this reasonable request will be fulfilled?
    We are just fellow users here and as such have no idea if, much less when, Apple will ever allow merging of Apple IDs. You can comment to Apple on the issue via their feedback pages, if you wish:

    but I'm quite sure Apple is aware of the interest in such a feature.

  • HT1918 How can i merge my two itunes accounts?

    apparently I have two iTunes accounts.  How can I merge them and get rid of one.

    It's not currently possible to merge accounts, content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it.

  • How do I merge my old apple ID account with my new one?

    My old Apple ID was linked to a very old email account that I no longer have access to. How can I get all of the music that was purchased using that account to merge into my new Apple ID account using my new email address? Thanks

  • How can i merge my two apple ids into one

    Hi I am still getting my head around itunes, etc.  But i have two ids and now i want to merget them into one. Is there a simple way i can do this.
    i have made some purchases on each.. can you tell me a simple way please.. Thanks

    I purchased some music on my phone about 18 months ago but never put them on my computer. I dont have that phone now.I guess i could just ignore the old phone data and consider it lost. and move forward...
    Hello Rosalie,
    You can get those songs back at no charge!  You don't need the old phone.  Follow one of these guides:
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1619
    iTunes 10 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
    When you do that, make sure the song files get added to your current iTunes library on your laptop.  Then just stop using the old account.

    you can't merge Apple ID's

    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.

    You can't because all apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.

  • HT1920 I have two apple ID accounts. How do I merge them into one?

    Hi all
    I have realised that I have two AppleID accounts - one set up many years ago with an old email address. The other my current ID I use all the time. How do I go about merging the two into the account I use now?

    thanks, this has become apparent on my search around this system!
    Does anyone know if I can link both accounts into 1 cloud?

  • 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,

    You cannot merge Apple ID's. Copied from Apple's FAQ about Apple ID's.
    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.

  • HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'.  When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone'  Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted.  This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • TS3988 how can i merge my two icloud accounts information

    How can I merge my two iCloud accounts information

    Apple doesn't provide a direct merge operation but you can connect in one account, disconnect but keep the data on the device, then connect with the other account and merge the data.
    Details...
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, log into the other iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the first account's photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the other account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 

  • I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own

    I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own?

    I think I understand what you mean. You were asked if you wanted to merge the contacts with your iCloud account. Contacts take up very little room and are probably not the reason that your iCloud is full. If you're now backing up two devices to iCloud rather than one, that will indeed take up more room.
    You cannot undo the contact merge. You can go to Settings>iCloud on either device and see what categories of stuff you're backing up and make selections. You can also purchase more iCloud space there.

  • I have two apple id accounts with separate music lists, how do I combine the music lists on my iphone?

    I have two apple id accounts with 2 different email addresses and passcodes...how do I combine both lists of music on the two accounts into one list on my iphone, ipad and desktop?

    Stop using one. Everything you've previously purchased from it has that Apple ID stored inside the file, which can't be changed.
