HT204053 Seriously. . . I can't merge two id's?? there has to be a way. I am not happy knowing that because of ignorance when I frist started with this Apple thing changing IDs was going to wreck havoc. One computer. One iTunes library. 2 iPods. 2 IDs.

Among other things, I got divorced and changed my email. But Wait, email is linked to Apple ID. . . so now I can only access half my stuff at a time.
Apple,  I know you say: cannot merge IDs. I wrote code for over a decade. This is not a 'it is technically not possible to roll contents of one id onto another' can't do it. This is 'we haven't gotten around to it so it must not be important' can't do it.
As people step up to higher levels of technology, the blending of multiple IDs into one. . . is going to become a very BIG deal.
Be proactive.
Fix this. A simple popup -- Primary ID & password. . . Account to be rolled over (and closed out?) and password.
Then some behind the scenes resetting of this and that. . . hey, presto!! Happy customers.

It is correct that you can't currently merge accounts nor transfer content from one account to another account. If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so via this page (these are user-to-user forums, you aren't talking to Apple here) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

    Hi,
    Go to the iPhone
    GO to Settings > Messages
    Is the iPhone Number ticked to be enabled (It will be greyed out and not editable but should be On)
    If it is Off (Unticked remove the Apple ID)
    Place the iPhone in Airplane mode for a few minutes.
    Go back to Settings Messages and make sure the Message app Is Enabled overall.
    Check the iPhone Number is verifying.
    When Completed test by sending an iMessage to your Apple ID (Mac)
    If that works add back the Apple ID to the iPhone's Settings.
    Restart the Mac App and Accept the op ups that appear as to what the iPhone is using.

  • TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

    ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

    I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

  • HT1420 When trying to buy gems (I have $50 credit) in "Clash of Clans" game I get: "Unable to Purchase.  This item is for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID.  To buy this item with this Apple ID first purchase the app?  Which app?

    When trying to buy gems on the "Clash of Clans" game I get the following:
    "Unable to Purchase.  This item is for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID.  To buy this item with this Apple ID, you must first purchase the App."
    I redeemed the itunes voucher on the same Apple ID I want to buy the gems with? 
    What do I do from here.

    You will only be able to buy items in an app if you are signed into and use the same account that you originally bought that app with - is that the account that you are signed into ?

  • HT204053 how can I merge two Apple-IDs?

    how can I merge two Apple-IDs?

    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. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Apple will not merge two Apple IDs, nor will Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

  • Can you merge two apple ids

    I have two Apple id's. Not sure why. but one is for my iPod that was set up a long time ago and what I use for iTunes. The is for my iPhone. I want to use the itunes cloud storage so i can listen to my music on my iPhone but i'm guessing that won't work if you have two id's. Of couse they'd need to match. Can you merge two id's? I would like to simplify anyway and just have one.
    Thanks.

    No.

  • Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

    Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

    There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files.  Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
    Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

  • Can i merge two Apple ID's?

    can i merge two Apple ID's?
    I have one with me.com and one neutral one.
    would love to have just the me.com Apple ID.
    How do I merge??

    You can't merge accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.

  • Can i merge two accounts

    can i merge two accounts

    I would like to vote for this also. I have a long standing account with iTunes and so I have an apple ID. I don't use it that much, and I store the PW. So  when I got my phone I couldn't for the life of  me remember the PW so I created a new apple ID for phone, icloud, etc. Now I have all this stuff  in my iTunes that I would like to incorporate into the cloud. The whole beauty of the cloud is to synch everything. Not everyone who uses Apple products are 18-30. Some of us are older and forget things like passwords!  I went into my account and tried to edit my email to the one I now prefer and of course it says we can't do that, there is already an account using that email. Yeah, me!  I understand it could be a security issue. But my CC is on file with the first iTunes and now I don't think I can use that with the billing info needed on the phone, which I skipped in original set up. There needs to be a mechanism for this. Heck, I'd even be willing to pay for it.

  • Can i merge two cell in BO Reports?

    Hi!
    I'm new to this BO. I've already posted my problem in some other place in this forum. Now, I think that may be a wrong place to post.
    So, i'm posting this problem once more here.
    I'm giving you that link which i've already posted (Otherwise it will be duplicate thing to post the entire content) ->
    [Can i merge two cell in BO Reports?|Can i merge two cell in BO Reports?;
    Sorry for this initial mess.
    Waiting for your feedback.
    Regards.
    Satyaki De.

    Thanks for your reply.
    But, my requirement is slightly different than what you have shown.
    I've created two reports say report 1 & report 2. And, it should looks like this ->
    Report 1,
    YEAR QT         P1         P2
    2001 Q1                    25
    2002 Q2         13         14
    Report 2,
    YEAR QT         P1         P2
    2001 Q1          7         12
    2002 Q2         10
    And, my required final output should be ->
    YEAR QT         P1         P2
    2001 Q1          7         37
    2002 Q2         23         14
    So, as you can see - i'm merging and adding the values of two reports into one.
    I'm using Oracle 10g as my DB. Is it possible that i can write some SQL query any where in any place of the reports that can do this staff. Then i can go for that kind of solution, too.
    But, in that case i need to know where to write the query. Please reply.
    But, first -> Is it at all possible in BO?
    Thanks again for your valuable time to read this post.
    Regards.
    Satyaki De.

    My iPod touch was stolen and recovered.  I can use my Apple id for this site but the theif changed the Apple id needed to update apps etc and I do not know how to delete his acct. Any help with this will be greatly appreciate

    If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done.  Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.
