HT204268 I want to convert purchases from my AOL id to my current Apple ID.  how do I do this?

I already have an Apple ID.  I must convert my purchases made with my AOL ID to an apple ID.  However, when I try to do so, I am only given the option to create a new Apple ID for my AOL purchases.  How do I convert my purchases made with my AOL ID to my existing Apple ID?

Hi betsyim,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds to me like you have two separate Apple IDs that each has its own set of purchases and you would like to merge them together under one Apple ID. If this is the case, please refer to the attached article for more information. 
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
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. 
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Best regards,
Joe

  • I want to remove songs from my iMac but leave them in iCloud. How can I do this?

    I need to clear space on my HD on my iMac. I have a lot of songs and videos downloaded to my iMac and I want to get them off but leave them in iCloud. How can I do this?

    iTunes Match! Activate it (it's about 20$ a year) and all your music will be moved to iCloud. It will be in your iTunes library and iPhone Music app, but it will actually physically be in iCloud. iTunes Match then removes it from your iPhone, saving lots of space, and you can (if you need) delete it manually from your Mac HD. But do keep a copy somewhere, on an external HD or something. Even if it's iCloud , you never know!

  • My latest itunes version is disabling me from turning manual sync on, on my apple devices. how can i prevent this?

    everytime i connect my iphone on my laptop my itunes keeps on turning off the manual sync for songs. everytime i turn it on it erases all the contents, but when i reconnect it it's off again. how can i fix this?

    There really is no way to tell iTunes which songs you deleted from the iPod and would no longer want synced to the device. So you'll have to keep doing what you want for now.
    It's one of the downfalls currently associated with being able to delete content directly from your device.

  • HT4859 i want to access pictures from a backup only! not restore a device, how do i do this?

    I need to get acess to a backup, as in WHAT it backed up in terms of pictures. I do not want or need to restore a device, just access picturs.

    It is not possible to examine specific data stored in an iCloud backup, except by restoring it to your device.  If backing up with iTunes, it's possible to use 3rd party software to extract data from a backup, but not with iCloud backups.

  • HT204053 I want to change the apple ID for iCloud in my iPhone so that it's the same ID used with my iPad and Mac. When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, it won't let me change the current apple ID - how can I do this?

    I'm hoping to sync iCal via my four apple devices through the iCloud.
    Unfortunately, I used two different Apple IDs when setting up the iCloud accounts on the devices.
    How can I change the Aplle ID associated with my iPhone so that it's the same one used for my iPad and desktop?
    When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, the apple ID that appears is greyed-out and will not let me click on it to change it.
    Any suggestions?

    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.

  • Wanted to transferr purchases from a different ipod to my itunes libary however, when I clicked transferr purchases it deleted all my music and left with me with only the purchases I transferred this has never happend before please help

    Wanted to transferr purchases from a different ipod to my itunes libary however, when I clicked transferr purchases it deleted all my music and replaced it with the purchase I had transferred this has never happend before... please help

    Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

    I m staying at Mumbai and one of the very well known apple ipod's reseller is offering me ipod nano 7G without bill at little cheap rate. So I want to know that if I will make a purchase from there then am I eligible for APPLE'S one year limited warranty?

    The warranty for ipod nano in india is here:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/nios-ipod-english-uk.html
    Im not really sure but some resellers have their own warranty.
    If the iPod is brand new, it should have the apple one year limited warranty
    hope it helps

  • I am reading about this conversion from an AOL username to a new Apple ID. Is this legitimate and will I lose access to purchases?

    is this conversion from an AOL username to a new Apple ID legit? Will I lose access to purchases?

    Hi Kellyezvous,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    The conversion from AOL Username to Apple ID is legit, and you will not lose access to your iTunes Store purchases as a result of this change.
    For more information, see this Apple Support page:
    Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support
    You must convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID to maintain access to the stores and to content you purchased previously.
    Apple can't provide support for AOL Username accounts that aren't converted by March 31, 2015. The conversion process applies only to AOL Usernames. You don't need to convert an Apple ID that ends in @aol.com. Also, this transition doesn't affect any AOL services that you use with your AOL Username.
    Cheers,
    Jeremy

    I purchased photoshop elements 8 on line in 2010. I recently switched to a new desktop computer. Photoshop asked for my serial number. I entered the correct serial number (obtained from Adobe). It says it is invalid. How do I get this corrected so I can use the product I purchased?

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush

    Thanks, Sig.  I think I should've been a little clearer.  I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad.  I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

    There is nothing you can do except return iPhone & get your money back.
    You will not be able to use the iPhone.
