HT5625 How do you merge two Apple IDs into one account?

I have two Apple IDs (it's a long story) with mixed content.  I'd like to merge the accounts into one account, in order to synchronize my apple products.  How do I do it?

1. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it. They probably won't.
2. Because Apple generally doesn't permit that.
3. Because the content remains associated with your Apple ID when you share it with other people.

  • HT204053 Can you merge two Apple IDs into one?  It was a common issue caused by the iPhone 4 and has been corrected, but transferring purchases in iTunes is a pain with two IDs.

    For a brief time when iPhone 4, iOS 4 came out, many of us ended up with two Apple IDs.  I want to know if anyone can please provide me with simple step-by-step instructions on merging two Apple IDs into one?  It would make transferring purchases on iTunes much easier and reliable.  I realize i desperately need an iOS update, but i had no laptop for over two years!  I'm posting a cry for help on that in another community.  Thank you all.

    No,
    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.

  • How do you create two apple ids for one email address.

    I bought two i pads for my kids. Since we have just one email address, everytime I try to create a new apple id it says I already have one. They need separate ids so their friends can facetime with one and not the other. Can't figure out how to create two apple ids with one email address.

    Well any ideas on how to solve this problem? When my daughter does facetime with someone it says she's Wyatt. She's not real happy about that. 
    Get her an email address, even if she never uses it.  They're free and available almost everywhere.  The only requirement is that the address be a valid one.
    Edit...
    You can even use an "alias" of yours.  That's a fake address that actually sends everything to you.  Check with your current email supplier.

  • How to merge two Apple IDs into one?

    Is it possible to merge two IDs into one?  I don't want to use the 'hotmail.com' extension anymore.

    No. All purchases remain tied to the AppleID used to obtain them and cannot be transferred.

  • Merging two Apple IDs into one

    I created a new Apple ID about a year ago when I changed my email. I didn't realize that my old music was tied to the old account. I can access it if I sign in to the old account, but it's really cumbersome to go back and forth between the two accounts, both of which have a ton of music on them. Is there any way to merge the two accounts into one since I'm the same owner of both accounts?

    No.
    Sorry

    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 have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to have two Apple IDs  for one account?

    I would like to set up one account with two Apple IDs so I could have one restricted to only free apps and the other unrestricted.  My daughter has an iPod Touch and I want to restrict what she can purchase but also make it so if we agree that purchasing an app for her iPod Touch we can.  New to this Apple ID stuff.
    Thanks,
    BubbaGee

    No. Each account needs it uniquie email adresss as the Apple ID.  However, yucan use more than one account on a single iPod and in iTunes.
    To change the acount on the iPOd go to Settins>Store and sign out and sign in with the account you wnat. Also see:

  • How can i merge my two apple ids into one

    i have made some purchases on each.. can you tell me a simple way please.. Thanks

    I purchased some music on my phone about 18 months ago but never put them on my computer. I dont have that phone now.I guess i could just ignore the old phone data and consider it lost. and move forward...
    Hello Rosalie,
    You can get those songs back at no charge!  You don't need the old phone.  Follow one of these guides:
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1619
    iTunes 10 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1706
    When you do that, make sure the song files get added to your current iTunes library on your laptop.  Then just stop using the old account.
