I seem to have at least 3 apple IDs Can I merge them into 1?

As said, you cannot merge accounts, nor transfer addresses from one account to another. You can add additional iCloud accounts to your Mac in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where they will appear alongside the main account. (Also on an iOS device in Settings><Mail, Contacts & Calendars).

Sorry, but the only answer is that you can't.

HT3819 Old and new Apple IDs - can I merge them?

Hello all, I wonder if you can help with this. I got an ipod around 8 years ago, and configured an apple ID on a PC, which I half forget about as I don't use that much. Fastforward to today, and I now have a MacBook and iPad, with a new Apple ID. But, all my music is on the old ID. Can they be merged? Or can I shut down my old ipod-related Apple ID and just switch everything over to the new one? Thanks!

You can, but understand it is always tied to your old Apple ID that you will need to use if ever you need to load the files onto an iDevice or download purchased music under that ID.

2 apple IDs - can I merge them?

I had an itunes account under one ID, but when I got my computer & iphone, I forgot I registered them under my married name/email. Is there a way to merge the 2 accounts?

I just got off the phone w/ an Apple support guy who helped me do this very thing. Yes it is possible, though I wouldn't call it "merging" per se.
Here are the steps that worked for me, You essentially set up a new Apple ID with one device, then log on to that new ID with your other device. But YOU MUST do it very methodically, as described below:
- Before changing Apple ID or password, be sure to actively go in and SIGN OUT of iCloud on ALL APPLE DEVICES with the exception of the one used to make the changes:
- MacBook Pro
- iPod Touch
- iPad
- iPhone
That way when you sign back in to iCloud on each of the devices you can then enter the new user ID or password to update them on each of the devices.
Otherwise, the device will think the old ID/Password is still in effect and you won’t be able to connect. It gets real messy.
If you change the ID or Password w/o doing the above, you’ll have to go back, sign out of iCloud on each of them, then:
1) Change your user ID (temporarily) from that one device that you are using (that you did not sign out of iCloud on), verify it via email on the one device,
3) Then go back and change it back to the original ID or Password that you changed, then…
4) Open up iCloud in each device and type in the correct user name or password.
Now all 5 of my devices (2 computers and 3 other gizmos) have the same user IDs and passwords.
I hope this helps.

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID?

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID? I have purchased music and video in both.

No, it is not possible to merge accounts. Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.

HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one?

I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one account?

Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking? Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox. When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
All users are in the folder "/Users/"

I have two accounts for apple, how can I sync them?

When I was younger I signed up for Itunes where I managed alot of my CD's/ downloads. This was under a specific apple ID (email address)
A few months back, my husband bought me an IPHONE 5 and set it up under a different apple ID (email address).
Now when I download on my IPHONE 5, they don't all show up on the same account.
Please instruct me how to sync these two accounts.
THERE MUST BE A WAY!
Thanks!
A.

There is no way to merge Apple IDs.
Content from multiple Apple IDs can be on a computer and iDevices. Simply authorize the computer for the additional Apple ID and put the content on the computer. Then the content can be synced to the iDevice.
The other option is to stop using one of the Apple IDs.

HT4847 I have two iCloud accounts, one with 10GB and one with 20GB...how can I merge them into the 20GB plan?

I have two iCloud plans. One with 10GB that backs up my 1Phone and iPad. I also have a 20GB plan for my iMAC and MAC BookPro. How can I merge them so that I only have one plan and one iCloud to manage? My first instinct is to delete the one on my iPhone/iPad and add the iMac plan, but I don't want to do it without an expert opinion.

No, accounts cannot be merged. Am I an expert? I only know what I've read here numerous times regarding merging of plans - the answer is always emphatically NO. Since this is a user-to-user forum (Apple doesn't participate here), you'll have to do some searching about on this topic and either accept or reject the "common" advice.

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 brought my itunes library onto a mac from a windows machine and now i have two separate libraries. How can I merge them?

I moved to Mac from a Windows machine where I had downloaded all of my CDs into iTunes. When I got my Mac it only put my purchased items into my library. So I merged my windows library and it created a whole new user account with that on it. I now have two libraries and can only sync music with one account or I lose all of my imported CDs. Help! How do I merge them.

The easiest way is to get both computers on your home network and copy the files over the network. It's easier than you think
Check this earlier thread:
[How do I move my itunes library to new computer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7937172&#7937172]
That thread mentions Target Disk Mode, which won't help moving from a PC to a Mac. But you can use file sharing to copy the files.
As the articles all say: don't forget to de-authorize your PC before you get rid of it.

HT1751 I have 2 Itunes accounts and would like to merge them into one. How can I do that?

I have 2 Itunes accounts, one with all my music librairy and a 2nd I created after purchasing my Ipad. I didn't realize then I could have used my Itunes credentials. How can I merged both under the same account without loosing my purchases?

As Niel stated, you cannot merge them.
You can keep the purchased items in your iTunes library and use them with no issues.
Just pick one of the AppleIDs and stick with that one.

I have 2 itunes accounts....can i merge them into 1 account?

I have 2 iTunes accounts.....wondering if they can be merged into 1 account??

No, accounts can't be merged, nor can any purchases be transferred from one account to another account/

HT204053 iCloud seems to have my least preferred Apple ID

I am trying to access iCloud on my Mac but it appears that I have inadvertently established two different apple ID's. Is there a way to access iCloud, specifically contacts, using my preferred ID instead of the erroneous one?

Not easily, these are 2 different accounts. You could sign into one and add the other as a secondary account though.

I seem to have a lot of Apple IDs. Is there a way to get a list of them and kill them all off until there is just one left?

I can't get on the icloud because my Apple ID is a birthday, password and email that are not mine. How do I fix this?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
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.
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.
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.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
