I have two iTunes accounts that need to be merged together

Recently with the purchase of a new iPhone, I created a new Apple ID and a new iTunes account in that setup process. How can I merge the old account with the new account? I have not been able to use the iPhone to purchase items from the Apps Store because it links to the new iTunes account. I have not discovered the method to change that iPhone configuration so I can log on with the original iTunes account.
Since the original iTunes account has $20+ balance from an iTunes card, I need to merge these two accounts. Is that an issue for iTunes store customer support?

You cannot merge accounts. But you can change your iPhone to use your old account. Simply go to Settings->Store, sign out of your new account and then sign in to your old account. When signing in to the old account select "Use Existing Apple ID" and not "Create New Apple ID."

Just cahnge the e-mail account asssociated with the account. There was no need to start another account.
You cannot delete and account, nor would you want to. All purchases made with an account will always be tied to that account.

You want to uise the newer account with the iPad?
Settings > Store.
Tap account, sign out then sign in with the account you want.

I current have an iTunes account but need to change computers. Do I need to establish a new account on that computer?

no.
authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account and you're good to go.
make sure you de-authorize iTunes on the old machine before retiring it.

I have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Is it possible to share between the two? If so, how do I do it?

I have two ITunes accounts on one computer. One is a classic iPod, the other is for a Nano with a different user. Is it possible to "share" playlists? If so, how do I go about doing that?

videoDVD is a delivery format, normally end of the of the road...
but, you can convert dvds into something editable, you need 3rd party tools, your options are, in recommended order:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

I have two itunes accounts, can i merge them into one?

I have two itunes accounts, can I merge them?

If you are using a username for your account, you will need to change it to an email address that is required by the system now. If both your accounts are using the same email, you will need to provide another one as you will not be able to use an email for multiple accounts.
Hope this helps.

I have two itunes accounts - one i had on my original pc and then one i created with my Mac. Is it possible to add the library from the old iTunes account to my new one

I have two itunes accounts. One is an old one with a substnantial library attached and one is much newer which I created with my new Mac. Is it possible to merge the two libtaries into my new account?

You can merge the two libraries but not the accounts. Each account is a separte entity.
You are likely best to use the older account as that is where a bulk of the purchases are from. If the file is a unprotected purchase then it doesn't matter. If the content is DRM encoded then you will need to authorize your computer to both accounts as needed. All new music purchases are DRM free but video is still DRM encoded.
There is no reason to create a new iTunes or Mac App Store account if you get a new computer.

I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
it is all so confusing i need help!!!

You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

HT1495 help i have two itunes accounts i only want one.

I had an iphone touch and I set it up with an itunes account. Later when I set up my iphone (and subsequently my ipad) I used another email address accidentally. Since then I had my main computer reformatted, and lost all of my itunes music (aside from recent purchases) and since my ipod has been irrepairably smashed. Although somehow my phone still has all of my music, the only music I have on my ipad is new items purchased on my iphone.
I have two itunes accounts and in the history I can see all of the purchases, but do not know how to drop them into my current itunes account (with the other apple id).
Hoping for help...

You can't. Apple will not allow merging of iTunes accounts. You need to pick one (whichever has the most stuff) and just use that one.
Otherwise, you'll be constantly signing out of one account to sign back in with the other.

I have two iTunes account and want one without losing purchased apps

I have two itune accounts, How do I close down one iTunes account and not lose purchased apps from the account closed.

You can't close or delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it - but any content that you purchased or downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so you will need to remember its id and password for re-downloading and or re-authorising.
