Can someone please just help me figure out how to update this stupid phone(iPhone 4)without losing anything? I somehow have more than one Apple ID on this,but I just want my music and my pictures to stay and I'm terrified of losing these things. I have a lot of music from old CDs on here,and for some reason I can't even transfer them manually onto my computer. I'm not tech savvy whatsoever. Someone please help,having my music is the the whole reason I still have this phone.

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. The only way is for you to have a separate user account to log into on that computer.

HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

I have more than one apple id and need to coordinate them

I have more than one Apple ID and cant coordinate them over my devices

That's correct. They cannot be merged nor terminated. You can stop using them. Note that anything you purchased (free or paid) is permanently connected with the Apple ID used to purchase those items. Only Apple has the ability to make those changes, so you would need to ask them for help.

I seem to have more than one apple ID. How can I get rid of old ones?

I seem to have more than one apple I D. Apple keep rejecting my password so I create new one. iPhone still seemd to use original ID. Apps get attached to old IDs. Can't log into game centre on old ID or use my nickname. Says its already in use! By me!

Roger. Can you drop in to HT4436 Multiple iCloud accounts on OS X: Apple Support Communities and see if you can help the OP? Thanks,

Can you have more than one apple id under the same account

can you have more than one apple id under the same account

Stop using the same Apple ID for iMessage on these devices. Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using a unique ID for each device. (Or, just sign out and stop using your Apple ID for iMessage.)

HT5622 Can I have more than one apple id associated with my itunes

Can I have more than one apple id associated with my itunes

Yes.
You can authorize a computer for up to 5 accounts, I believe

Can you have more than one apple id on one mac?

Also i was wondering if you can create a separate apple id but keep your music/podcasts/audiobooks and transfer them to the new apple id. Please help

You can use different IDs for different accounts, i.e. one for iCloud, one for ASC one for iTunes etc etc. Apple don't really recommend this, but plenty do it.
You can also have more than one iCloud account (obviously need different IDs), but you can only have one primary iCloud account on each device.
You cannot transfer purchases from one account to another.

I apparently have more than one Apple ID. So, 1) how do I find out how many different ones exist, and 2) how can I consolidate them into one or two?

I have inadvertenly created two or more different Apple IDs. How can I learn all the different IDs associated with my email accounts or my name? How can I consolidate the different IDs into one or two?

Go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and click the blue link "Forgot your Apple ID?"
It will result a page in which you can provide some contact information that may possibly find an existing Apple ID.
How can I consolidate the different IDs into one or two?
This cannot be accomplished.
