I have two Apple ID's attached to my iPad and I'm unable to change one

I wanted change my Apple ID username and email address but Apple makes me create a new ID because I can't change my username, so I created a new Apple ID. When I added it to the iPad, I didn't reallize it would make it an additional ID instead of just switch me over, so now I have apps I can't update or remove without signing into the old Apple ID. How do I move the apps over to the new ID? I don't want to keep getting prompted to sign into the old one.
Also, I'm unable to change my email address on Apple's site. I go into Account and edit where it shows my email, but it just asks my security questions and makes me submit my credit card's Security Code (what?!) even though I'm not making a purchase, and there was no option to update the email address! This has really been the most difficult experience I've had trying to change an email address and it's really easy in Android Market.

Apparently this was too long for anybody to read so I'll just leave a nice little two-sentence question.

    iOS does not support multiple users like a desktop OS does.
    You can use a web interface to your respective email accounts
    to keep things separate; but there is no provision for otherwise
    separating photos, media, etc.
    If you wish, you can contact Apple to let them know of your desire:

    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 seem have two apple IDs - on for an icloud address and one for everything prior.

    I seem have two apple IDs - one for my new icloud email address and one for ipad/purchases which has been active for 6 months.
    Can I change this to simplify it, or should I follow instructions to ensure everything is matched?

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

  • I have two apple ID's on my lap top and want to transfer the accounts to my desktop

    Some how I accidentally created 2 apple ID's, and I have apps I have purchased on both.  I currently sync my iPhone with my soon to dying laptop and wish to transfer the accounts to my desktop so I can sync my phone with the desk top.  How can I do that??

    Try syncing songs one at a time to see if there is a problem song(s).
    Do the songs play in iTunes on the computer?

  • I have two icloud ID's I want my iPad and iPhone to communicate but can't unless I change my acct on phone to match my iPad

    I have had an iPad for a yeAr now and recently purchased an iPhone 5c for Christmas. The gentleman that activated my phone used an additional icloud ID because I couldn't remember the password for the icloud ID on my iPad. I would like my iPhone and my iPad to communicate with each other but I need to change the new iD on my phone and add the old iD to my phone but do not know how. Can anyone help me?

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc.  When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

  • I have two Apple ID's associated with my e-mail and Facetime will not verify the one I use.  How can I eliminate the other ID?

    I am running to into a problem using Facetime as I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.  Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.  What can I do???

    I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.
    An Apple ID is a valid email address, apparently. How can those be "attached to your email"... what email?
    Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.
    This doesn't make sense. You can register multiple, even non-Apple-ID, email addresses and their aliases with FaceTime.
    So, maybe you can explain your problem better - what you want and the steps you've taken and what you have so far. If something doesn't work, please tell the exact error message, too.

  • I have two apple ID's but cannot remember the security question answers and the email address is no longer active - how can I access this account

    I have two apple ID's but cannot remember the security question answers and the email address is no longer active - how can I access this account as it seems to be the one my icloud space is attached to.  I haven't backed up my ipad or photos for a while.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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
