HT204053 Two Apple ID Accounts

I have created two Apple ID accounts at different times and now get confused when using them.  How can I delete one account leaving only one account to use?

You cannot - and anything purchased with an AppleID is forever tied to that AppleID. To not get mixed up, the best thing to do is to make the password on both IDs identical. Then it won't matter which one is coming up for an update - you just type in password assigned to both of them.
Keep the passwords in sync, and pick one to use going forward. Use that one for your iTunes logon and your iCloud account.
Cheers,

    how can i combine my two accounts?? I have [email protected] and another with a google emial - i want tocombine both the have the one calender etc???

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You cannot combine 2 accounts. What you can do however is export your calendars from one account to your desktop and then import them into the other. Once you have done this you can then stop using one of your accounts.

    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.

    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.

  • HT1918 My name is Paul Augsburger I have had several issues with my account and they are now fixed with one exception,  I have two Apple ID accounts, and I would like to combine them. Please contact me at pra1949 (at) me (dot) com for further information.

    Please contact me at pra1949 (at) me (dot) com for any further contact I don not monitor the suelefriends (at) gmail (dot) com email.
    I have had several iisues with my Apple ID accounts and spent many hours at the APPLE store in Richmond Va. getting them fixed. The technician was wonderful, patient and very knowlegeable, however he was not able to complete the task and said I needed to contact Apple support for the final step. During the process of fixing things I ended up with two APPLE ID accounts. my main accout is suelefriends (at) gmail (dot) com and the second account is "pra1949 (at) me (dot) com" I have most of my apps tied to the main account with only a few to the pra1949 account. I also have $25 worth of credit on the pra1949 account. Because of the two accounts it still makes updating apps very confusing and very cumbersome. I would like to have the two accounts merged so I end up with one account with all the money and APPS tied to it, that way I only need one password to update. I hope this is possible.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here and they don't monitor these forums - I've asked the hosts to remove yout account ids from your post.
    In terms of combining accounts it's not currently possible to do so, nor to copy/transfer content from account to another.

    You can use only one Apple ID if you wish, but it is impossible to transfer purchases to a different Apple ID. You will need to repurchase your content with the Apple ID you are going to use.

  • I have two apple id accounts ,when i used to update application it used to prompt a default id and if the application was downloaded using the other id i would cancel and it would prompt the other id but not any more .

    i have two apple id accounts ,when i used to update application it used to prompt a default id (the old one) and if the application was downloaded using the other id i would cancel and it would prompt the other id but not any more .
    it just prompt the old id which im not signed in with im signed in using the new id and when i cancel nothing happens and when i try to update applications separately  i have the same problem .
    im signed in using the new id
    the old one is my wife's so i can't delete it
    the problem happens  when i update all or  each application by its own
    using ios 5.0.1 on a iphone 3gs
    the applications are downloaded using both the new and old id's
    any help will be greatly appreciatedِ

    I have two Apple itunes accounts and I want to merge them in to one.  How do I do this.

    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.

  • HT5622 Can I use two Apple ID account in one device.  Are there irregularities

    Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

    You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

  • Can I sync two apple ID accounts to the same account?

    I have two apple ID accounts, one for my work Mac, and another for my iPhone 5. Is there a way I can sync the two accounts together onto the same email address? Thanks for answers in advance.

    Nope, content from one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • Two Apple ID accounts shareable?

    I know we can't merge two Apple ID accounts but can we share in iOS 8, then download then delete second one?  I want to move all my purchases under an apple email and not use a yahoo email address.

    No, you cannot do that. All purchases under any Apple ID are permanently tied to that Apple ID. See below for what you can do.

  • 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.

  • HT204053 two apple id for one iCloud account

    Is it possible to assign two Apple IDs to one iCloud account?  I don't want to have separate ones for my wife and I...
    Thanks,
    John

    No, each account requires its own Apple ID. Why is it that you do not wish to have separate iCloud accounts, this is generally the best way of doing things.
