HT2204 It seems I have 2 Apple IDs. Can those be merged?

I have two apple id's and it's messing up my itunes account

It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it

I seem to have at least 3 apple IDs Can I merge them into 1?

I seem to have at least 3 apple IDs Can I merge them into 1?

As said, you cannot merge accounts, nor transfer addresses from one account to another. You can add additional iCloud accounts to your Mac in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where they will appear alongside the main account. (Also on an iOS device in Settings><Mail, Contacts & Calendars).

If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't. I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's. The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848. It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs. 20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
Hope this helps.

I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.

You can't, all apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.

Wife & I have different Apple IDs & can't link as Family?

Why can't my wife and I have different Apple IDs, join as "family" and use the same iCloud storage? When Apple showed the iOS 8, the idea of building a family would allow all users, (ours have iPhone each, an iPad each, and one iMac that supports iCloud) to use the same iCloud storage. That is what "family" ment to me. Is there any way to fix this unfriendly family setting to work better, or must I buy more storage?

Family sharing doesn't include sharing the same storage plan, at least not at the present time. Storage cannot be shared between two iCloud accounts/IDs.

I have multiple Apple IDs, can I delete one and/or merge my accounts?

I unintentionally have multiple Apple IDs. I just switched to an iPhone and the store employee created what is now my 3rd apple Id. Is there a way I can I delete the extra accounts so that I can have my email addresses all in one place? Or is there a way to merge my accounts?

1. No. Only Apple itself can delete Apple IDs; if desired, click here and contact them.
2. No.

How many apple ids can I have on one icloud account

I have one apple ID. My iphone is linked to this apple ID and so is our Ipad. The ipad gets all of my mail, but also gets all of my text messages. This is not the greatest situation. When my husband got his work iphone, he was told to use my apple id so he would have access to all of my music and purchased items. That really messed things up because he was getting all of my mail and suddenly all of our contacts were shared. Not good!
We are now trying to set up a new ipod touch for one of the kids. Don't want the same situation as above. I want this to have a separate identity but still be on our account so it can share all of my apple purchases.
What is the best way to do this? I briefly talked to someone at the apple store a few months back and he said that you can have multiple apple ids on one account. Anyone have any tips on setting these up? Want to avoid any unnecessary newbie mistakes.

You can't have multiple IDs on one account, but you can use multiple IDs for different purposes on the same device.
Just use the one AppleID for iTunes and the AppStore so you can all share your music and app purchases. Then each person should have their own individual AppleID with associated iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, iMessage and FaceTime.
You don't have to use the same AppleID for all services.

HT204053 I have two Apple IDs and want to merge them so I use the same Apple ID for iCloud/IO6 and iTunes

I have 2 Apple IDs and I want to merge them so I only use one. Can I change my Apple ID for iTunes to my iCloud/email ID?

You can't merge them but you can change the ID you use for iTunes store and app purchases. To do this, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using the other ID.

I created 2 apple IDs, can i delete one.

I created 2 apple ID's. One with an email I dont' really use and have the mail forwarded to a newer account and the other was created using my me.com email that I don't use as my email either. I'd like to keep the first apple ID, its the one that is used most. But then I can't tie my me.com email to my icloud because it thinks that it is a separate person ans asks me to choose a different me.com amil user name. What can I do? Can I delete one or both and start over. But I have purchases on the first account I dont want to lose.

I think I can answer this, based on my own frustrating experiences with Apple IDs.
... I can't tie my me.com email to my icloud because it thinks that it is a separate person
That is correct.
Can I delete one or both and start over.
No, not to my knowledge. Once created, an Apple ID exists forever.
You described the problem correctly - you created a @me.com Apple ID that you use for iCloud, and it would be simple to use it for everything. I think that is what you ought to do.
Delete the email address associated with the first Apple ID, since that ID doesn't correspond to an email address you use any longer anyway. Then, add it to the @me.com account. I have attempted to have identical email addresses exist for two different Apple IDs and it didn't let me, though I have heard of people who did this successfully. I cannot explain the discrepancy.
Once you delete the email address from the first Apple ID, it may take a few moments for their system to recognize it is no longer associated with anything. After that you should be able to add it to the @me.com account.
But I have purchases on the first account I dont want to lose.
That's a problem. The purchases will remain with the first Apple ID. It's up to you to determine if they're worth purchasing again, since that is what will be required if you intend to associate those purchases with the @me.com ID.
If anyone has any better ideas please let me know.

How do I use home sharing for music and apps from different devices that already have Apple IDs? We have music from CDs and iTunes.

We have a iPhone 3G used as an touch, a 4S and 2 5s that I would like to share the music and possibly the pictures but i dont know how to set it up since we all have our own Apple IDs. Please help.

Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.

I have two apple IDs, how do I merge them?

My headphone jack seems o have a short can only hear on side in my earbuds

My i-pod 5th gen seems to have a short it the headphone jack. I can hear one side fine but the other side has much lower volume. I can "jiggle the jack" and sometimes this will help, Anyone know how or where to get this fixed??

That's usually a very good indication that the headphone jack is damaged and in need or replacement. You can choose to have Apple exchange the iPod for a flat price or send it to a third party repair company to have them actually swap out the headphone jack for a little one at a lower cost.

HT3819 Old and new Apple IDs - can I merge them?

Hello all, I wonder if you can help with this. I got an ipod around 8 years ago, and configured an apple ID on a PC, which I half forget about as I don't use that much. Fastforward to today, and I now have a MacBook and iPad, with a new Apple ID. But, all my music is on the old ID. Can they be merged? Or can I shut down my old ipod-related Apple ID and just switch everything over to the new one? Thanks!

You can, but understand it is always tied to your old Apple ID that you will need to use if ever you need to load the files onto an iDevice or download purchased music under that ID.
