I have two apple accounts that I cannot get to merge as one.

I have two apple accounts that I cannot get to merge.  One is a hotmail address and the other a gmail address as primary addresses in the two accounts. I would like to merge them into one account.  I cannot verify the addresses of either accounts because when I do it will say that the address already exists.  Therefore I can't get them to merge.
Also...
Me.com and hotmail are under the same account., but when I log into me.com some of the accounts turn into the hotmail account.  I do not use hotmail anymore and use gmail regularly.
Any insight to these problems would be appreciated.

If these are both used as Apple IDs, then they cannot be merged. If they are just two email accounts of which you only wish to use one, then you would need to transfer the data you want to save from one to the other. Since the data are just email you would need to look for a way to export it from one email address as a file compatible with what the other can import.

  • I have two apple accounts. How do I combine them?

    I have two apple accounts because I had forgotten my information for one and became frustrated and set up a new one with a different email. How can I combine my accounts?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

    Are you sure ? As far as I know an Apple ID can only be associated with one email address.
    Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account

    Apple IDs cannot be deleted.
    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

  • I have two apple accounts and need to delete one, I have two apple accounts and need to delete one

    I have two apple accounts, one on my iphone and the other ipad & laptop.  I need to delete the iphone account and use only the other.  How do I delete without losing my data.

    Greetings sweetfisunshine,
    Sorry; I've been away for a day or two so could not respond.  I think the last post from ashlie covers your question.    I don't use an iPhone so I know only basics about it.  As I see that reply, you log in with the ID you dont want, then log out.   Then log in with the second ID you do want and log out.   That should leave you with the second ID as your ID and by never using the other one again the old ID will in effect go away.  
    Thank you for the star.   Happy New Year,

  • Somehow I have two apple accounts. Can I merge the two?

    I am not sure why but I have two apple accounts with two different email addresses.  This is causing problems with iMessages not syncing over my devices because the different email addresses cause messages to be sent to different devices so I miss messages.  Can I merge the two apple accounts, if so.  How?

    Please see item no. 5 of this article:

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

    Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

  • HT3819 Can I have two apple accounts on a single device?

    Don't know what that means.
    You can authorize your computer fro two accounts, then sync the content to the device.

    Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
    E.g from the sugarsync website
    Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
    However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

    I have two apple accounts and one of which has my music on. I would like to move this music to the other account. Is there a simple way of doing this?

    There is currently no way to merge accounts.  The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.
    HTH.

    I have two Apple accounts the one on my I phone and computer are the same the one on my mini i pad is different I have credit on my mini i pad however, when I purchase an App or movie I am charged on my credit card and the $40:00 worth of I Tune cards is by passed I have tried to change the mini i pad account details to be the same as my computer and original apple i.d.account however, it will not allow me to do I have tried to reset the mini  i pad but not all the way to factory otherwise I would loose all my data. I have visited a genuis bench at Fountain gate however, they tell me I need to ring apple support which I will do on the next working day.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • HT201272 I downloaded an app 5 years ago on my iPhone with another Apple ID that I cannot get into now because I forgot the ID.  I'd like to download the same app on my iPad now.  The developer says it should be no problem.  Any ideas how to solve this?

    It will be tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to re-download it - but redownloading an account's past purchases may tie a computer or device to the account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Do you have a copy of it anywhere e.g. on your computer's iTunes, or on a backup of your library ? If you have it on a backup then you should be prompted to authorise the account (and I think that the id will show) if you try to add it to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library.
