I want to consolidate two apple accounts. How do i do this?

You can't. Apple does not have any way to merge Apple accounts.

You need to setup iMessage on one of the two phones using a different AppleID.

I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on two separate apple IDs. how do I do this?

If you sign out of an Apple ID under Settings > iCloud, you should be prompted for an option to 'Keep on my iPhone' in regards to Contacts and other related data. Then, when signing in with another Apple ID on that same iPhone, you should be prompted to 'Merge'. If you do both, then you won't lose any Contacts, and the iCloud Contacts will then be merged into the new Apple ID iCloud, but also will stay on the old Apple ID iCloud.
In the future, it might be best to post your own question thread instead of bumping a thread that is over two years old.

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

I seem to have two icloud accounts--how can i consolidate?

I seem to have two iCloud accounts--how do I consolidate?

If your second account is actually an iCloud account with data in it, as opposed to a login for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (which isn't actually anything to do with iCloud itself) you can sign in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars and its data will appear alongside the main account. (You can't use PhotoStream and a few other facilities with this secondary account, and you don't get 'push' email, only checking at intervals).
If the second ID is in fact only for iTunes just go on as you are: there is no conflict about doing this and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

How to merge two Apple accounts by migration

Hello to you all
My question relates about merging two apple accounts.
Having two accounts is an issue (for instance when you start setting up Family sharing, or trying to get phone calls on your Mac)
As we know, merging two accounts is alas (still ?) not possible.
But it should be possible to address the issue it my migrating data.
As many people, I have two accounts:
Account A: [email protected], with all my purchases (iTunes, apps, machines)
Account B: [email protected], with my calendar, contacts, bookmarks, photos...
The best possible option seems to keep account A:
- Transfer the data from B to A
- Possibly transferring the [email protected] address into A
- Close B
About the data transfer:
- Transferring iCloud documents is easy (using the Finder)
- Transferring contacts, events bookmarks is also easy as they can be exported (ex .VCF or html)
- Transferring Notes can be done by moving the notes from the iCloud list to the On my Mac List
- Transferring Passwords and Photostreams is difficult (No Export solution for KeyChains, No way to transfer ownership of a photo stream)
- I do not know yet about transferring the iCloud email address [email protected] into the [email protected]
So my questions are:
1) Do you have any idea about transferring Passwords in KeyChain from one iCloud account to another ?
2) Do you have any idea about transferring ownership of a photo stream to one iCloud account to another ?
3) Do you have any idea about the email address transfer
4) Do you have any other way to do this ?
Thanks for your attention
Kind regards

The easiest thing to do would be to use an iOS device, such as your iPhone to migrate the data from one account to the other. You can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign out of account B, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide your password when prompted, then sign back in using ID A to create a new iCloud account and choose Merge when prompted to upload the data. This will not migrate notes, which as you said, can be dragged and dropped between accounts on your Mac.
This will also not move your existing iCloud email account. You cannot move an iCloud email account to a new iCloud account. You would either have to switch to the new @icloud.com email account that goes with your new iCloud account, or continue to use the existing email account as a "secondary account" To do this, you would go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud on your iOS devices (and System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud on your Mac), sign back into account B and turn on Mail. Just be aware that, at least on an iOS device, this would not be push email as push is only supported in the primary iCloud account.
Photo stream cannot be moved between accounts either, not can it be enabled in a secondary account. If you want to keep your photo stream photos you'll have to either save them to your device, or add them to a shared album before signing out of the existing account (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). Another option would be to import them to your iPhoto events, then add them back to your new photo stream using iPhoto when you sign into the new iCloud account on your Mac.
For iCloud keychain, I believe you can turn it off iCloud keychain and you will be given an option to keep a copy of any saved passwords and credit card information on your device. Then set up iCloud keychain again once you are signed into your new iCloud account.

I want to dl music deom 2 different itunes accounts how do i do this or can I!I could with my old apple ipod?

I want to dl music from 2 different itunes accounts how do i do this or can I!I could with my old apple ipod but when I try do it wit this one the only option is to erase and sync or cancel?

That's not true. It's one computer at a time, has nothing to do with accounts. If the computer is authorized for both accounts & the music is in the same iTunes library, it will sync just fine to an iPhone.

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another 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,

I want to connect two itunes accounts.

Hi i want to connect two itunes accounts. my old one with all my music is on my pc with one email address and i have a newish mac which has a different email account number. how do i move the old accounts music to the new one. thanks kellie

At this time you can not. Apple IDs can not be merged, and content purchased with one Apple ID can not be transfered to another. I suggest you keep using the original account. There is no need for you to create a new Apple ID for the iTunes Store just because your brought a new computer.

HT204053 Two apple accounts

I have two apple accounts. I am really only using one. However I just learned that the one I am not using is being updated with new purchases. HOw is this happening? What should I do?

Which one are you currently logged in with ? On your computer's iTunes it should show on the Store > View My Apple ID menu option (if it isn't the one that you want to use then you can log out of the account via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then sign in with the other account).
And similarly if you are referring to the Mac App Store on your Mac.
If any of the apps that you bought/downloaded with the 'wrong' account get updates in the store, then only that 'wrong' account will be able to download them (or re-download its purchases from the store).
