I have 2 apple ID's, how do i get rid of one?

I am really confused with the whole apple ID concept. I believe i have 2 apple ID's. One i had set up for my daughter and her ipod and one i thought was mine. Though my phone seems to have the ID i used for my daughter always in as default. I tried to change my personal ID and i lost all my contacts, so i had to go back. Can I just get rid of the ID i set for myself???? Im confused

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
I wouldn't really recommend using the same iCloud account, your contacts, calendars etc will all become merged and when one of you adds or deletes data, those changes will also occur on the other device.

Stop using it.
Accounts cannot be merged, purchases made under an account cannot be transferred to another account.

Hi! I sold my Iphone on ebay. The seller wants to connect the Iphone with his Apple ID, but it did not work because it says that the Iphone is already connected with another Apple ID. How can I get rid of this old connection? What do I have to do?

Safari and chrome have mal wear. How do i get rid of it?

safari and chrome have mal wear. How do i get rid of it?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Do I have a virus? How do I get rid of it?

When on FB or a website, etc., on my iPad 2, a page from this website (Lemode-MGZ.com) keeps popping up and taking over the page I am on. Do I have a virus? How do I get rid of it?

These kinds of problems are typically caused by visiting a page that is malicious or has been hacked. That page displays a malicious scam message of some kind. The immediate solution is to clear website data from Safari, according to the instructions at the bottom of this page:
Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
To keep the problem from recurring, be sure to avoid whatever page you visited that caused the pop-up. If this is a legit site, it may have been hacked. Notify the site owner(s).
If this continues to happen with a wide variety of sites, you may have compromised network hardware. See:

Hi Pierre,
There's no way to merge them yet, so all you can do now is make 1 of them the master ID for iCloud. You have to continue to use the other for previous iTunes, Mac App Store updates. Have you read:

After updating to IOS 7.1 my us holidays doubled in my calendar. How do I get rid of one of them?

You probably figured it out by now! But if someone else is wondering...
Open the icalendar app up and click on the word Calendar (bottom of page). A box pops up called 'Show Calendars', scroll to the bottom of the page to 'Other' and uncheck US Holidays. The next time you sync your ipad from your iMac, it will only copy US holidays from your computer calendar.

I have got two Apple ID how do I get rid of one of them

I have got two Apple ID how do I get rid of one

At present there is no way to combine 2 Apple IDs and once an Apple ID is created it never goes away.
All you can do is Not Use the one you no longer want. Just let it fade away. The only problem with that is anything that is now registered to it or that you bought from any of the Apple store with it can not be transferred to some other Apple ID. So you would need to repurchase those items under the Apple ID you want to keep.

Besides signing out of the account, you will need to delete the apps on the device that were purchased under that ID.
