Each device is different and will only sync what you select

HT204053 Can I use any of two Apple IDs to purchase apps for the same iPad?

Hello,
I have two Apple IDs, one for the iTunes US store and the other for the UK store. Can I purchase apps from either store for the same iPad (4th. Gen.)?

Yes, although it's best to associat your iPad with one Apple ID otherwise you will need to constantly switch.
Change iTunes Store Country on an iDevice
1. Tap Settings;

Two iPhones, two Apple IDs, one phone out of the area.

Can music be purchased on iPhone A with Apple ID B to have it available on iPhone B without syncing to a computer? iPhone B owner is out of the area and currently is not able to perform these tasks and does not have access to a computer at this time.

Content can be purchased directly on the device as has always been possible.
Or Downloading past purchases from iTunes.
No need to involve a second iPhone.

HT5621 I have two apple ids showing up on apps and I want to delete one. How?

Delete all of the items you have downloaded with the ID you want to delete. Then sign in to your device with the Apple ID you want to keep.

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

iOS- Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd & 3rd generation)
iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

You can't 'merge' Apple IDs or iCloud accounts. What you can do is to sing into the second account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. The data will appear alongside the primary account: you can't use Photo Stream with this 'secondary account'.

I have two apple ids somehow, probably from two mobile and two computers - how do I merge them into one account so they all work with iCloud?

Somewhere, somehow, between two mobile and two macs, I ended up with two apple ids. I figured that this was the root of my problem to syncing. So, I am syncing Mail, Contacts, etc through the one account that I bought storage on this year in iCloud. I want to merge the two accounts, since many of my apps were purchased with my other id. Apparently, Keynote will not merge files since the app was bought with the second id, not the id I am using for icloud.
What to do??? I read, in the forums, that I am definitely not alone. I always had the id I used for the Apple Store to buy iTunes items, and then apps. The other id, that I am using for iCloud was based on my iDisk id, and apparently I set up as a separate account. The much failed iDisk account appears to be the one that I wish I never got involved with. Should I feel the same way about iCloud. If I cannot merge the two APPLE accounts from the same person (ME!!!), then many dropbox really is the answer for my file sharing needs.
Please help me decide.

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.
To go back to your question; you cannot merge accounts, but perhaps using one account for iCloud and the other for iTunes will resolve the majority of the reasons you needed to merge to begin with.

HT204053 I have two Apple ids, how can I get all music I have purchased in one library?

I have used two Apple IDs to purchase music. I want to consolidate the music to one library. How can I do this?

Wooookay ..... I need to slow down some here.
OK. Thanks for this. Yes I was confusing two things.
Forget the Store.
In my iTunes Library there are some songs I purchased (with ID2) along with those from ID1. There are a few songs with a "!" in the first column on the left of my songs listing. When I click on those songs I get a message which says "can't play this song as itunes cannot locate the file, then it gives me the option to locate it. Once I take that option I am in finder but cannot find the song. it is not in the location other "playable songs" are.
somewhere in frogging around i did see a location that looked something like //file/xxxxx/xxxx/user/etc. but I cannot find this location. somehow a few songs from a specific download have been sent to this eroneous location which itunes cannot find. I want to get them moved to where itunes can find and play them.
I can later deal with ordering music with two different IDs.
Thanks for helping

2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

Two Apple IDs entered into one iPad- help needed!

My wife used to have an Apple ID (let's call it the 'first' ID) on her iPad and had bought many games. Recently she decided to change her Apple ID as the email address for the 'first' ID was now an account that she never used. So she changed her Apple ID in settings-App Store to her recently acquired icloud email address. (The 'second' account.) So now half the apps she has are from the first account and half the apps are from the second account.
this worked fine until the apps from the first account started to need updating. It didn't help that the first account's actual email address needed to be changed as it was forgotten so many times. Basically none of the games/apps from the first account will update and therefore cannot be played. I THINK I have managed to reset her first account email password.
so..... Is there a way to upgrade the older games with the first Apple ID while still keeping all the new games on the second account without deleting any of them or disabling the newer second account going forwards..?
your help in this matter is really appreciated!!
thanks.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can't merge content from two accounts, sorry.

What happens if you think you have two apple IDs?

I think I have two apple IDs. One I created many years ago with an IPod, but I don't know what that one is now. It has most of my music attached to it. Now I have one with my email that doesn't have all that music and I can't get the music to attach to it??

Content from the iTunes Store is permanently bound to the Apple ID through which the content was purchased. If you used two different Apple IDs, you'll need to use both IDs to authorize computers, view your purchase history, or re-download items. If you can't remember an ID or its password, try this page:

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:

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.

I have bought my husband his own i pad and we both need to use our own on a shared computer. will the two apple IDs show as separate on the i tunes or do I need two different I tune programs?
