I need to merge my apple id's or remove an email's association with it.

My dad and I have been using the same iTunes account for years as I was too young to have one of my own. Now that I am 18 and old enough to have my own card my dad wants to give me control of our iTunes account because I was the one who purchased all the content on it. But it's not as simple as me taking the password and changing it or something because its his email associated with the account and mine is associated with another apple id--I needed one to FaceTime him-- so my question is this: how can I either get my email off my account and as the only one on his or merge the two accounts and remove the email. How can I do this?

You cannot merge the accounts.  Sorry.
Contact itunes support and ask for assistance.

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • HT1918 Have multiple Apple ID's, however would like to merge them, also on one of them, unable to verify the email address associated with it since it no longer exists

    I have multiple Apple ID"s however one of them I can not verify the email address associated with it since it no longer exists.   So I can no use downloads/purchases that I did under that email/Apple ID.   Help

    It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account. Are you able to access your old accounts via this page and change their email addresses : http://appleid.apple.com ?

  • Closing out apple e-mail password and transferring to a new email address associated with account

    I need to transfer all my music etc. from an e-mail account associated with two i phones and a computer that has been closed.  Associate it with a new e-mail account I have associated with an i-pad.
    Need to accomplish this quickly!

    Not quite sure what you are getting at here... but...
    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

  • How do i delete the primary email address associated with my apple id?

    My husband deleted the Outlook email account that was associated with my Apple ID as the primary email.  I have two alternate emails also associated with the same Apple ID.  How can I delete the old, Outlook email and use one of the alternates as a primary?  I have tried to do this under "manage my account," but there is no option to delte the primary and select one of the alternates in its place.
    I also cannot receive confirmation emails from Apple at the old, primary email address because it has been terminated.  Other Apple help posts indicated this could be a problem, as I need that old account to receive emails pertaining to a switch.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    How do I change the email address associated with my icloud account?

    The OP asked how to change the email address that is associated with their iCloud account.
    To sign into your iCloud account you use your Apple ID.
    Therefore if you want to change the email address or Apple ID you sign into iCloud with, you need to change your Apple ID.
    If your question is how to change your primary iCloud Mail email address, AFAIK, you cannot as it is linked to and is an alias for your Apple ID. You can create an email alias. Alias can be changed and deleted.

  • HT201248 My email address associated with my Apple ID on my iPad has been turned off from the ISp (U.S. army).   I have a new gmail account with a new Apple ID. How do I get my iPad to use my gmail account?

    Help. My old @us.army.mil email address was terminated by the army. I used that address to register my first apple id account on my iPad. I can't remember my original Apple ID number and if I ask to reset my password, Apple sends the reset link to my old non-working email address. I have a new gmail address and a new Apple ID number associated with that address. How do I get my iPad to use my new gmail address and new apple ID number?  Remember, I can't log out of my old account because I can't remember the password. Amd Apple will only reset the password by sending a link to my old, non functioning army email account. ( I hate army webmail for canceling all retired military email accounts). John Marc

    I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
    Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
    So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
    I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

    Hi there
    I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
    Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
    Thanks
    Jules

  • Ask your question.updated to IOS 6.1.  I cannot configure my iMessage properly with this version.  Everytime it verifies the email addresses associated with my apple Id the page reverts back to the previous one with the sign in portion.  What should I do?

    Please assist with the iMessage configuration.  My iMessage used to work with the previous version.  With 6.1 I cannot configure iMessage properly.    After I sign in using my apple id.  It directs me to the next page with all the email add associated with the I. d. After confirming the email addresses it verifies then reverts back to the previous page with the sign in portion.  What should I do?

    My email address has changed. How do I change the email address associated with my Apple ID?

    You can update your primary email address on your account by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, by logging into it via the 'manage your manage id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or by tapping on your id and logging into it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on an iOS device
