HT204053 Can you merge two Apple IDs into one? It was a common issue caused by the iPhone 4 and has been corrected, but transferring purchases in iTunes is a pain with two IDs.

For a brief time when iPhone 4, iOS 4 came out, many of us ended up with two Apple IDs. I want to know if anyone can please provide me with simple step-by-step instructions on merging two Apple IDs into one? It would make transferring purchases on iTunes much easier and reliable. I realize i desperately need an iOS update, but i had no laptop for over two years! I'm posting a cry for help on that in another community. Thank you all.

No,
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.

How to merge two Apple accounts by migration

Hello to you all
My question relates about merging two apple accounts.
Having two accounts is an issue (for instance when you start setting up Family sharing, or trying to get phone calls on your Mac)
As we know, merging two accounts is alas (still ?) not possible.
But it should be possible to address the issue it my migrating data.
As many people, I have two accounts:
Account A: [email protected], with all my purchases (iTunes, apps, machines)
Account B: [email protected], with my calendar, contacts, bookmarks, photos...
The best possible option seems to keep account A:
- Transfer the data from B to A
- Possibly transferring the [email protected] address into A
- Close B
About the data transfer:
- Transferring iCloud documents is easy (using the Finder)
- Transferring contacts, events bookmarks is also easy as they can be exported (ex .VCF or html)
- Transferring Notes can be done by moving the notes from the iCloud list to the On my Mac List
- Transferring Passwords and Photostreams is difficult (No Export solution for KeyChains, No way to transfer ownership of a photo stream)
- I do not know yet about transferring the iCloud email address [email protected] into the [email protected]
So my questions are:
1) Do you have any idea about transferring Passwords in KeyChain from one iCloud account to another ?
2) Do you have any idea about transferring ownership of a photo stream to one iCloud account to another ?
3) Do you have any idea about the email address transfer
4) Do you have any other way to do this ?
Thanks for your attention
Kind regards

The easiest thing to do would be to use an iOS device, such as your iPhone to migrate the data from one account to the other. You can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign out of account B, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide your password when prompted, then sign back in using ID A to create a new iCloud account and choose Merge when prompted to upload the data. This will not migrate notes, which as you said, can be dragged and dropped between accounts on your Mac.
This will also not move your existing iCloud email account. You cannot move an iCloud email account to a new iCloud account. You would either have to switch to the new @icloud.com email account that goes with your new iCloud account, or continue to use the existing email account as a "secondary account" To do this, you would go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud on your iOS devices (and System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud on your Mac), sign back into account B and turn on Mail. Just be aware that, at least on an iOS device, this would not be push email as push is only supported in the primary iCloud account.
Photo stream cannot be moved between accounts either, not can it be enabled in a secondary account. If you want to keep your photo stream photos you'll have to either save them to your device, or add them to a shared album before signing out of the existing account (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). Another option would be to import them to your iPhoto events, then add them back to your new photo stream using iPhoto when you sign into the new iCloud account on your Mac.
For iCloud keychain, I believe you can turn it off iCloud keychain and you will be given an option to keep a copy of any saved passwords and credit card information on your device. Then set up iCloud keychain again once you are signed into your new iCloud account.

How to merge two apple id's?

I have two apple ID's and would like to merge them. What do I need to do?

An Apple ID is just a kind of "username", not good for anything unless you associate the ID with an itunes account and/or an icloud account. Merging two icloud accounts can be problematic, I would think, since data from two different contexts need to be merged.
So, to the OP, I must ask, in what way are you asking about merging two IDs? I can see asking about merging two itunes store accounts (but you can't, probably due to licensing agreements) or two icloud accounts (this would have to be carefully defined). For example, an icloud account limits you to the number of alias email adresses. If two accounts have a max number of aliases and they are all different (they'd have to be), how is this to be handled?

HT204053 Can I merge two Apple ID accounts

I have two Apple IDs, just cos I didn't really understand what I was doing when I set the first one up years ago and now I have two. Some purchases are on one and some are on the other. It also gets confusing with iCloud. Is it possible to merge the two accounts without losing any of the purchases or saved data?

It isn't possible to merge them at all.

How to merge two apple ID

I've had an Apple ID based on an old AOL email address, lets say its "Jeff1234"
The email address on my Apple ID above is a Yahoo email address, lets say its "[email protected]"
I used my Apple ID above for years, for Apple support and my iTunes account.
I recently ungraded my iTouch to iOS 5 and it asked me to create and iCloud account. When I did I used my "[email protected]" as my ID and Apple created a new account (I should have used my current Apple ID "Jeff1234")
Well, I just tried to delete my "[email protected]" account....because FaceTime was saying I can't use that email address now!! Well I deleted that iCloud account but FaceTime still says I can't use that email address because its already used!! Apple NEVER should have allowed me to create a 2nd account based on this email address because I already used it on my "Jeff1234" Apple ID but...
Anyway I logged into manage my Apple ID account and change my Apple from "Jeff1234" to "[email protected]" but it wont let me saying it's already in use....even though I use and have used this email address on my "Jeff1234" account for years!!
This is crazy! I deleted the "[email protected]" iCloud account why does Apple keep saying that address is alreadt in use? And how do I make that my ID on my current Apple account (Jeff1234)?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Guys,
I called my local Apple store and got some help. I thought in the past I tried to change my "Jeff1234" ID to my Yahoo email "[email protected]" but thought that was not allowed.
Anyway, Kevin at the Apple store said I COULD change the ID names/emails.....and suggested I change the new Apple ID account ("[email protected]") to another email address I have, then go back into the "Jeff1234" account and make the ID on THAT (my original) account "[email protected]".
That made sence, but I hit a snag, I tried to use the "alternate" email address on my original/old Apple ID account as the Apple ID on the new account and it would not let me. It just would not change, and did not tell me why. But then Kevin and I figured it was because this alternate email address was associated with my other account already. Once we deleted that alternate email address from the Jeff1234 account it let me use that email address as the Apple ID on the new account......THEN use [email protected] on the old original account!!
So, I (or we) fixed it so now my original Apple ID account uses "[email protected]" and the new Apple ID account uses something else. And now I have TWO Apple ID acconts, the 2nd newer one not really being used for anything right now. But maybe I'll use it for iCloud or something else in the future?
My GF also just bought a iPhone 4S Monday. Spent 4 hours upgrading iTunes, backing up her iPad and updating the iPad to iOS 5 so she could use iCloud with both her iPad and new iPhone 4S. To my relief everything seemed to backup/update/restore Ok (I had issues updating my iTouch 4G in the past losing all my apps!). Anyway all her apps and TV shows ect seemed to be there. But then she checked her photos. Of her 95 photos only 15 were there after the restore! And now ONLY those 15 photos won't sync back to iCould and her iPhone.....eeeee.....but thats another topic not for here. I just don't understand why when updating your iOS device there is such a chance to lose apps or photos, or everything...Apple needs to fix this.

How to merge two Apple IDs into one?

Is it possible to merge two IDs into one? I don't want to use the 'hotmail.com' extension anymore.

No. All purchases remain tied to the AppleID used to obtain them and cannot be transferred.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

Apple will not merge two Apple IDs, nor will Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

How to merge two conflicting contact on iPhone and on laptop?

How to merge two conflicting contacts?
When syncing my iPhone w/ my Mac laptop, it seems that Apple does not provide an option that allows you to merge the data from two conflicting contacts. For example, you have a contact on your iPhone for Andy Summer and a contact on your laptop for Andy Summers - one contact contains only Andy's name and email address, the other contact contains only Andy's name and his mailing address. I'd like to be able to merge the data from these two contacts into one and save it to both, but the Conflict Resolver in the syncing program (I think it's in iTunes) does not offer an option for merging the two.
Does anyone have any knowledge about 1) how to merge data from two conflicting contacts, or 2) some other way to keep the data from each so that I don't have to choose one over the other?

Jawad,
First of all,You need to make teaming on both the interfaces on the server side.Which mode do you want to use? Active-Active or Active-Standby.
Server side :Active-Active - You need to configure the switch side to be a etherchannel/LACP. It can be done by the commands on the cisco 4006.
Server side :Active-Standby - You need nothing to do at the switch side.
Note: Seems PAGP is a proprietary of cisco. Server shouldn't know that. To be bound with mode "on" of "lacp" should be fine. It depends on the server side as well.

How to merge two movies documents into 1 in iTunes?

Can anyone tell me how to merge two movies documents into one in iTunes? Sorry maybe this is an easy and dumb question for you, but I have totally no idea. I download some movies in Windows and use Kigo Video Coverter to converte them into mp4 format. So I can watch it through new Apple TV in my big screen TV. Now I am thinking maybe I can upgrade my experience a bit more. Because some movies are downloaded into 2 or 3 separated document and I have to choose and click them while seeing. Is there any software can merge those separated documents into one single in mp4 format? I wish you could give me several to choose . Freeware is better. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I've tried simplemovies application but it seems too much complicated for me. I read some passages online and bought Quicktime Pro ($30) and finally link 2 mp4 documents together. So easy. Only issue is I have to pay $ 30 .
