I have 2 Apple IDs. Can I transfer or merge my iBooks?

I would like to stop using my old Apple ID (which is my email from a previous employer), and start using my new Apple ID. Can I merge or transfer my iBooks from the old account to the new one?
I want to have all my stuff in one library.
Thanks!

You can merge the contacts from one account with your other one without overwriting them. Sign into the first account, download them as vCard (iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard), email them to a device signed into the account you want to merge them with, tap the vCard and choose Add..., then Create New Contacts.
You can also migrate a copy of the data in one account and merge it with the other by signing into the account you are leaving, then signing out (or deleting the account if not running iOS 8), then choosing Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign into the other account and choose Merge when prompted. This won't move Notes however. If you are syncing notes that you want to migrate from the other account, you can temporarily add the account to your Mac as a secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with the other account ID. Then enable notes syncing in the secondary account. You will then be able to open the notes app and drag and drop notes from one account to the other. When you're done, delete the secondary account from your Mac.
You can't merge IDs as Apple does not allow it. Also, you won't be locked out of anything for 3 months. The "90-day switch" rule only applies to changing your iTunes store account, not your iCloud account. Just leave your iTunes store account as-is. The ID you use for the iTunes store does not have to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

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.

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.

I have 3 apple ids and I want to merge them into one account.

I have 3 apple id's and I want to merge them into one account. Any suggestions?

It is not possible to merge AppleIDs.
If soemthing changes (ISP, email or you moved), just update your current AppleID.

If my my and I have different apple ids can we share apps?

We have an Ipad but just bought my wife and I our first iphones... I think I will set up my wife's I phone with the same apple ID as the Ipad so that she can sync and share apps with the I pad with ease...
However, if I create a separate apple ID for my Iphone will I have to re-buy any apps that we bought on itunes for the ipad? Or is there a way that I can get the apps from her apple ID to my Iphone with my own apple ID?
If so can you give me the steps to do this?

Is it possible to delete one of multiple IDs?

Were the two albums synced to your device using iTunes?

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 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).

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 my family use 'find my iphone' for each other if we each have separate apple ids? recently had to create separate ones b/c we were getting each others texts/facetimes and i read this happens when you share an apple id.

Can my family still use the 'find my iphone' app from our iphones / ipod touch to locate each others phone if we have separate apple ids? We were sharing a single apple id but recently we started getting each others texts/facetimes .. I read that this happens when you share an apple id. Will we just have to sign in with the others' apple id to locate their phone ?

Use Find My Friends app instead. Much easier to manage, and you won't need each other's id/pw's to do it. They only need to accept your invitations and vice versa.

HT5661 Can I have 4 devices in my family share an iTunes account but have different apple IDs to have seperate I climb backups?

Can I have 4 idevices in my family share an iTunes account but have separate apple IDs for iCloud and FaceTime ?

Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

I have 2 apple ids. They seemed to be linked. Can I unlink them?

I have 2 apple ids. One I use for iCloud (email@me) and one for purchases at the apple store (email@isp).
My preference would be to merge the 2 accounts, but as I understand it, this is not currently an option.
When I log into iCloud using email@me, once I enter my password and hit enter the login details change to email@isp... I have no idea why this is happening, it seems the accounts are somehow linked. I am not sure how to unlink them, but it makes it very difficult to manage my iCloud calendar preferences etc.
FYI I have a macbok pro running Lion (V10.7.4) and have iPad 2 and iPhone 4 (both with latest IOS installed).
Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated
Cheers

Apple IDs (accounts) cannot be linked. It sounds to me as though the two email addresses you are referring to are the primary address and the alternate address for the same account. You can check this out my Apple ID.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
