HT204053 i want to have 2 apple ids one computer so my husband and I can share music . Is this possible?

I would like to t have 2 apple ids for one computer so my husband and I can share music he got a 4s and i got the 5. Can this be done?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID. When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data. If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account. If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices. If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

Can I get rid of one ID? How do I do that?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.

Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

HT1311 I have two Apple IDs, one with all my purchases and info on it. The one with everything on it is under a bad email address. When I tried to change it to my current email, it tells me I already have an account. How do I fix this?

I had an old iPod under an old Apple ID which was stolen. I replaced it with an iPhone and apparently created a new Id under my current email address. When i went to sync the phone to my comuter (several months later), I accidentally restored the phone to my old iPod settings and lost everything. I then continued to make purchases on the phone but didn't realize that it had reverted back to my old Apple ID. This is under an old email that I no longer have access to. When I tried to change the Apple ID/email address in the account settings, it won't let me because it says that there is already an Apple ID under this address. However, all my information (settings, contacts, photos, aps) are under an incorrect email. How can I change the account I have been using to reflect my valid current email address if there is already an existing account (which I never really used) under this address? Please, I don't want to lose all my info again.

Change the email on the old account to another new, current email address.
An email address can only be linked to one Apple ID.
It is possible to have content from multiple Apple ID's on a single iDevice.

I have two apple Ids, one for the iTunes Store and one of iCloud.

I need to be able to use the one that has my payment information to buy more iCloud storage, but don't know how to do this. I could also try to use the same payment info, but I can't, because the Apple Id I have for iCloud has a different country (Ecuador), and I need to use a US credit card. How can I fix this? Please help me find a solution.

OK, it sounds like you actually signed on your "Costa Rican Apple ID" to the iTunes & App Store. So, go into Settings>iTunes & Apps Store, and click on your Apple ID, then click on Sign Out.
Then click the Apple ID again and type in your "US Store Apple ID" and password.
Once signed on with that ID, click on your ID again, and then click on "View Account" to make sure that the Country/Region is showing the US Store flag.
If it is not, click on the Country/Region and select the US Store.
Hope that helps!

I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

I seem have two apple IDs - on for an icloud address and one for everything prior.

I seem have two apple IDs - one for my new icloud email address and one for ipad/purchases which has been active for 6 months.
Can I change this to simplify it, or should I follow instructions to ensure everything is matched?

I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

I have two apple ids one I use everyday an one that's old I need the password an Apple ID from it I don't remember any of it anymore an I didn't have an email at the time so I used a friends email address to activate the id an he passed away so now Stuck

I have 2 apple IDs, one for Itunes, one for Icloud. Have forgotten pasword for icloud ID. When i try change password it invites me to change password on my other ID, which I don't want to do. How can i change the password?

I have two apple IDs. One is used for most things - Itunes, Apps. The other is the Icloud apple ID which I set up separately when I got my Ipad. I decided to keep them both as I was worried about losing info. However, on updating my Ipad to IOS7, it asked for a password for Icloud apple ID which I have forgotten. I have tried to reset it. The first time, Apple sent me a link inviting me to change the password on my Itunes apple ID which I don't want to do. So I tried to sign in again using the Icloud ID. Rather than asking for email verification this time I asked it to verify security information. It asked for my date of birth which I gave, but it was rejected. So I seem to have no way of resetting the password for the Icloud apple ID. I know I can't merge the 2 IDs so i don't know what to do now!!

Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

How can I have two Apple IDs (one from Canada and one from the UK) for the same device?

I originally bought an iPhone in Canada and had my first Apple ID while there. I still want to have this account, as there are some Canadian apps that I wish to have and keep updating. However, I am now living in the UK - yet when I try to search for apps that all of my friends have I can't find them because they are particular to Britain. Do I need an new Apple ID for the UK, and is it possible to have both Apple IDs feeding into the same iTunes account?
Thanks for any insight!

If you want to move your iCloud account to another existing ID you'll have to delete the existing account, set up a new account with the other ID, then upload your data to the new account. To do this, begin by going to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your phone. After everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up the new account with your other ID and turn syncing for calendars, contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to the new account. Note: this will not migrate your photo stream photos. You will need to save these prior to deleting the existing account.

I have 2 apple ids. They seemed to be linked. Can I unlink them?

I have 2 apple ids. One I use for iCloud (email@me) and one for purchases at the apple store (email@isp).
My preference would be to merge the 2 accounts, but as I understand it, this is not currently an option.
When I log into iCloud using email@me, once I enter my password and hit enter the login details change to email@isp... I have no idea why this is happening, it seems the accounts are somehow linked. I am not sure how to unlink them, but it makes it very difficult to manage my iCloud calendar preferences etc.
FYI I have a macbok pro running Lion (V10.7.4) and have iPad 2 and iPhone 4 (both with latest IOS installed).
Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated
Cheers

Apple IDs (accounts) cannot be linked. It sounds to me as though the two email addresses you are referring to are the primary address and the alternate address for the same account. You can check this out my Apple ID.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account

I have Two apple ids: one apple id will not authorize on same computer.

I just purchased a new imac. I have two apple ids. Stupid, I know.
I was able to authorize one of the apple ids on my iMac. When I try to authorize the other apple id, I get the message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." I keep getting this message day after day.
Also, when I hook up my new iphone 5S to my computer I also get this message "This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iphone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store? If you do not authorize this computer, 22 apps, including "Airport", and their data will be deleted from this iphone." I get the choices: cancel, Don't Authorize, or Authorize. So, I click Authorize, I put in my apple ID and password and get the message "We cold not complete your itunes store request. The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." This is when I try to sign in with my apple ID that I can not seem to authorize.
I deauthorized both apple ids from my old imac.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have two Apple IDs - One prevents me from updating Apps...

I have two Apple IDs and although I am signed into my iPad as one, when I try to update my Apps., it asks for my password for the other ID - a password that is not retrievable from any of my email accounts.

That's probably because the Apps were purchased through the other Apple ID. SInce the Apps cannot be transferred between Apple IDs you may have to delete the Apps in question and repurchase them under the correct Apple ID.
Make sure that you setup a rescue e-mail address for your functioning Apple ID.

HT204053 It's like I have 2 apple,ids one minute it excepts my I'd and password the next it doesn't

I have always had trouble with my apple Id. One minute I can log on the next minute it does not recognize my id. One minute I'm downloading purchased music the next minute I go to download an app and it ask me for my password which it will not except

I have two apple ids somehow, probably from two mobile and two computers - how do I merge them into one account so they all work with iCloud?

Somewhere, somehow, between two mobile and two macs, I ended up with two apple ids. I figured that this was the root of my problem to syncing. So, I am syncing Mail, Contacts, etc through the one account that I bought storage on this year in iCloud. I want to merge the two accounts, since many of my apps were purchased with my other id. Apparently, Keynote will not merge files since the app was bought with the second id, not the id I am using for icloud.
What to do??? I read, in the forums, that I am definitely not alone. I always had the id I used for the Apple Store to buy iTunes items, and then apps. The other id, that I am using for iCloud was based on my iDisk id, and apparently I set up as a separate account. The much failed iDisk account appears to be the one that I wish I never got involved with. Should I feel the same way about iCloud. If I cannot merge the two APPLE accounts from the same person (ME!!!), then many dropbox really is the answer for my file sharing needs.
Please help me decide.

To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
To go back to your question; you cannot merge accounts, but perhaps using one account for iCloud and the other for iTunes will resolve the majority of the reasons you needed to merge to begin with.

I have two apple IDs. Both belong to me. How can I merged them?

Today apple kepth waitting for 30 mins just to tell me that the US lines are closed for the holliday? ***.
For some stupid reason I have been using two different apple Ids for my Itunes purchases. Now I want to merge them. Do not know how?
Help!
Thanks!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
