HT204266 I have two apple id's.  Is there a way to consolidate all the songs under one id?

I have two different apple id's.  Is there a wy to consolidate those into one and what do I need to do to all the purchases made under each to still have them.

You can't currently merge accounts nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it. As long as both accounts continue to be authorised on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to continue using them. Note that if you turn on automatic downloads for an account or re-download its past purchases then you may tie that computer (or iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch if that is what you are using) to that account for 90 days, so you wouldn't be able to log into the other account until those 90 days are up : associating a computer or device.

  • I have two Apple IDs. Is there any way to consolidate them into one?

    I have two Apple iTunes accounts and didn't realize it for a while so some of the music I purchased is associated with one account and some music is associated with the other. I was wondering if there is any way to connect the two accounts and consolidate into one so that all my music is connected to one account and I don't have to manage the account separately?
    Thanks and I appreciate any input!

    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 IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps on there?

    I (stupidly) have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps (from my old Iphone 4) on my new Iphone? Thanks

    You can use the same appleid that you purchased the apps with on the phone for the App store. Settings> iTunes & App Store and continue to use the other id for everything else allowing you to have access to your previously purchased apps. You can then either sync or download the apps without paying for them again.
    It can be quite handy having two appleids - it can be quite useful if you can manage them correctly. One id for the store and one for imessage is good for privacy if you have the same id in use on another device.

  • I lost my iPod touch and now have a new one.  Is there a way to transfer all the songs on have in iTunes onto the new iPod?

    I lost my iPod touch and bought a new one?  Is there a way to transfer all the songs I have in iTunes onto the new iPod?  I am scared I will lose it all when I sync the new one or that I have to start all over.   Please help!!

    You can do better than that. You can click on the Restore button that appears under your device in iTunes. This will restore your iPod to factory settings as if it were fresh out of the box. But don't worry. By doing a restore, you will then be given the option to "Restore from Backup." This will allow you to restore the state of your previous iPod!!

    Are you saying you were trying to backup your phone but instead it restored your phone from a backup that was two years ago
    If so there is no way to recover the recent data that was lost because it wasn't back up.
    did you at the very least import your pics to your computer as you would a digital camera?

  • Is there any way to transfer all the songs I have on my iphone to the Itune?

    Please help... I had so many songs bought from store and all.. i do not wanna loose everything over again.

    All of your "Stuff" should be on your computer.  Just sync it to the ipad.
    If for some reason you failed to backup your music then:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Since the cable company will always tell you that the "connection looks good", it is a good idea to verify that for yourself, if you have not already done so.
    Just connect your Mac directly to the modem, check the download speed that way, and note the results. If you do not have an application to test the connection speed, you can use something like this:
    http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
    Then, connect the modem to your router normally, and then connect the Mac to one of the LAN <-> Ethernet ports and check that way, and note the results. This should be about the same speed, or a bit less than the direct connection to the modem.
    Then, power off the router and power it back up and try a wireless connection with the Mac relatively close to the router. You should see about 80-90% of the speed that you noted when the Mac was connected directly to the modem and the router using an Ethernet connection.
    Make sure that there are no cordless phones anywhere near the router or Mac when you test the wireless connection.
    Post back on your results.

    Are you asking if another computer, Mac or PC, can connect to your Mac at home over the internet and access your data? If so, it is a bit challenging for a novice, but yes, it can easily be done with the right software on both computers.

  • I have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?

    i have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?

    Why are you changing your ID?
    iTunes/app purchases are locked to the account that purchased them. For some actions like updating apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. Just changing the ID does not not delete any media from the iPod.
    When you delete the iCloud account for the iPod should should be offered the option to leave contacts on the iPod. See:

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.
