I have 2 iTunes accounts...
Hi,
I have 2 iTunes accounts.
@me.com
@msn.com
I have all my apps in the msn account, but I only want to use the mobileme account. I already tried just changing email address, but when I go into my msn account, I cannot change it to "me" because theres another account wiht that email. So I go into my "me" account and I cannot change the email there. Any suggestions?
As it is right now there is no way for your two accounts to be combined. I, along with many others, are in the same boat. I have posted several times to Apple's old forums about this topic. I have called iTunes account support about this topic. There should be an easy way for those of us who used iTunes before having .Mac/MobileMe/iCloud to merge our purchase history from our old Apple ID (in my case with my Gmail address) to our new Apple ID with .Mac/MobileMe/iCloud. I understand the potential security issue and needing to validate account ownership of both Apple ID's before merging them, however I have confidence in Apple to do this in a secure manor. Login to your iTunes account, under account settings where the current "Change Apple ID" field is have a Merge Apple ID's button. This would bring up a login system for both accounts & use a glyph authentication system like online accounts to prevent bots from attempting to steal purchases. Then have a check box or radio box to select which Apple ID you wanted to keep after the merge. Have a couple "Are you sure" verification messages and warnings that once merged you can't split the accounts again. I wrote many posts about DRM and wanting to be able to re-download your purchased iTunes content incase you computer crashed and you had yet to back it up. At long last we are seeing that finally for music at least. So heres hoping that they continue to listen and manage to give us a way to do this. I have ~410 songs I purchased before I got .Mac and started using that Apple ID for everything. To all those who are in this same boat please post your thoughts and maybe we will see this become reality.

Okay. We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account. When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads. As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad. My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off. Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work??? Any help would be very much appreciated.
RyanThere is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:

My girlfriend and I have separate iTunes accounts and would like to combine then so we can have all the same music and books on our iPads and iPhones. Is it possible to combine the two accounts or somehow sync hers to mine and just use one from now on?

I have three itunes accounts and want to merge them
I have three iTunes accounts and have found that at times we have purchased multiple of the same items as a result. Can I merge two of the lesser accounts by gifting or otherwise migrating the songs, apps, videos etc to one master account?
Not Possible...

I have an iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch - have had for several years. When my work provided me with an iPhone and now and iPad 2, they all fall under my personal iTunes account. Is it possible for me to create a separate account for my work devices and apps, while leaving my personal account intact? I use both my compter at home and at work to sync occasionally.
A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

I already have an itunes account on my laptop but have been setup on a mac and have songs that have not been purchased from the itunes store, I cannot get the songs from my iPhone onto my itunes account on the mac. how can I do this?
You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. -
We have an itunes account on our desktop and both my kids have it on iphone and ipod. I went in and changed out user name from an old e-mail address which is no longer accessible to my one I use now... When the kids try to sign onto the itunes store it tells them they have the wrong user name..
Can this be fixed??Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials. -

I have an iTunes account where I have downloaded Digital movies & I am able to see the list on the desktop of the original downloads. When I log on another device with my login I do not see my list to access them. Why can't I access from another device
Hey GingCarv,
Great question. You'll want to download the movies from your purchase history. The following article explains how to do so:

Note: At this time, movies are not available for automatic downloads.
Thanks,

Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
Thanks for your help.
SamWell, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts. So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots? If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).
