HT204053 how do i combine 2 apple ID's?

I have two apple ID's and rescent pre-ordered an album. I then received an email notification stating that it was ready to download. Checking my iphone and ipad I realised that it wasnt available on either. so i searched itunes and clicked purchase. From previous experience I thought it would display a message saying that I had already purchased this item. It didnt, and now checking both accounts which i didnt realise I had are showing this purchase.
What I want to do is combine my apple ID's into one, so that all my past purchases on both will be available on one. weird thing is I think both ID's are linked to one email address, although i do have a icloud email also. Its all very confusing.
Any help would be appreciated

Apple IDs can't be merged.

    How do you change apple id for icloud if phone is already set up. Need to give each phone in my account their own apple id for icloud so that we dont receive each others messages but can still all use same id for purchases.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

    How to enable my apple ID so I can download apps on my iPad

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • HT204053 how to change my apple id in icloud

    How to change my appled-id in iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • HT204053 How do I combine multiple apple ids

    Does anyone know how to combine multiple apple id's?

    Prior to the 8.0.2 my iPhone, and iPad and the iMac (update 10.9.5) used both our original iTunes id (which became our apple ID as well) AND my own personal me.com apple ID but now it is either or but not both. Now my iPad gets some iMessages, my iPhone gets iMessages as 2 separate conversations, but my iMac does it the old way and just combines it all into one conversation
    Can anyone help me add it all back together?

  • HT204053 how do I combine all my apple ids into one apple id

    Is there a way to combine all my apple ids into one new apple id so all my previous purchases are on one id?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, you can't.  IDs can't be merged.  You'll just have to pick the ID whose itunes account has the most purchased items.

    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.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
