Is there a way to merge my purchases from two apple accounts

I made several song purchases with an apple ID that I had set up when I purchased an Ipod. My Ipod broke and I forgot about my apple ID and account for a while. Then when I purchased my Iphone I had set up a different appleID and account and made a few purchases with that account. I would like to install everything I purchased through both accounts but am I only able to have my phone associated with one apple ID and my purchases made with that appleID, or is there a way I can get all of my purchases merged to one apple ID account?

Any content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently, and perpetually, and eternally, and I mean like forever, tied to the account from which it was originally purchased. Apple provides no way to move songs to a different account.
You can however put songs from multiple accounts into a single iTunes library.

HT5622 is there a way to recover text messages from my apple account if we share an account

I share an apple account with my kids and want to know if there is a way to recover their text messages or imessages thru the account?

Yes, you can extract text messages and imessages from iCloud backup with the help of an iCloud backup extractor. Also, there are other ways to retrieve deleted text messages from iPhone, just follow the steps.

I have 2 accounts. One for my emails and FaceTime, and the other for the iTunes store, iMessage etc. Is there any way to merge all of those into one account?

My emails and factime are on one account (i.e. my MobileMe account) and my Apple ID (i.e. imessage, itunes, app store etc) is on another account. I primarily wanted to make my MobileMe account my iCloud account, however I had to create a new account to do so, so I made a hotmail account because it didn't work again with MobileMe. But now I want all the iCloud data to be transferred from my hotmail account (Apple ID) to my MobileMe account, so I then have one account for everything (facetime, mails, imessage, app store etc). Is this possible?

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's 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.

I have an ipad and ipod nano. the laptop i used to load music to nano died, is there a way to load music purchased from itunes on the ipad to the nano?

my laptop died, is there a way to tranfer music purchased in ITunes from an ipad air to an ipod nano?

The only way to sync to a nano is to use an iTunes account on a computer.
When or if you get a replacement computer you can retrieve all of your purchased music (from iTunes) to sync to your nano

Unfortunately you can not transfer purchases from one apple ID to another.

IS THERE A WAY TO DELETE A PURCHASE FROM IBOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY AND ICLOUD, OR AT LEAST A WAY TO HIDE WHAT YOU'VE PURCHASED IN THIS NEW APP?

Dear Apple, my name is Jack, and I recently upgraded my computer to the new OSX 10.9, which included among many other apps the iBooks one, in this new iBooks app for Mac I accidentally downloaded by mistake a sort of obscene japanese comic book, since the moment that this happened I've been trying to remove this content from my iBooks library, which is being impossible due to the fact that even if a successfully delete the book with the backspace key it still appears but with an iCloud symbol, and if I go to my iCloud settings theres no options to stop iBooks form sharing this on iCloud for there is no "iBooks" option on iCloud settings, I even followed a Tutorial on the apple web page about hiding your purchases that explains how to, but in this new version of iTunes there is no such option as "connect" under the Store menu of iTunes, or even if I make my way to my iTunes purchases this new iBook purchases does not appear. I just want to be able to open my new iBooks app without having to see this obscene japanese comic book all over the app. My request is for you people to add an option to completely remove books from the library and from iCloud, please, so far these new OSX was amazing and this is the very first time I have something to complain about.

Well as a matter of fact, I already found the solution. The option is a little bit hidden, and this will remove your purchases completely from the library and iCloud. What you have to do is this: 1.- Open iBooks app, and the first thing you will get it's your library, then at the top left corner of the window click on iBooks Store. Once iBooks store is open you will have four options at the top: "Featured", "Top Charts", "Categories" and "Top Authors", you have to click on "Featured" or "Categories" it's the same but you have to be on any of those two.
2.- Once you are in "Featured" or "Categories" at the right side of the window there's going to be your email address that you use as your apple id, and in "Categories" you will see at the right side the topic "All Categories" and bellow that you will see your email address again. Doesn't matter if you are on categories or featured the option bellow your apple id is going to be QUICK LINKS, and bellow that there's gonna be four options: Account. Purchased, Redeem and Support. Click on Purchased.
3.-Once you clicked on purchased and the Purchased window is open you will see in the middle of the window two options : "All" and "Not in my Library", click on "All", then you will have all your purchases, there you will only have to put the cursor on the book you want to completely delete, but without clicking on it, just putting the cursor in the book and a black cross will appear at the top left corner of the book, click on the cross, if it ask you are sure you want to hide or delete the content just click the affirmative option.
4.- In the top left corner click library again, once in your library you have to find the options that are at the very top of your screen, the ones that are in the same bar as your computer name, date and time, volume and in the case of macbooks the wifi signal and the battery. Those options are: iBooks, File, Edit, View, Go, Store, Window and Help. Click on "View" , when you get all the options of "View" you'll have to find the one that says "Show Purchases in iCloud" and most likely would have a check mark, if it does not have a check mark close it and skip to step 5, if it does have a check mark just click on this option so the check mark disappears.
5.- Last step. Now you just have to close the app, completely, so go to your dock and give a secondary click on iBooks app and on the secondary click options click Quit. Just open iBooks again and there will be there no more.
Hope this is of some help to any of you, and sorry if this was tricky or if I'm not very good at explaining. I figured this by myself so if any of you does not get this explanation just send me an email, I'll be happy to help you with it.

Is there a way to collect previous purchases from itunes when they haven't

I just had to restore my operating system on my mac, but now can't get back the items i've previously purchased from itunes and didn't have space to back up. Is there any way to get these back without purchasing them again.

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

My account ID is registered to an email address of a former employer. Is there a way to shift my purchases to a different account with a personal email address?

App or iTunes store purchases cannot be transferred from one Apple ID account to another, sorry

Is there a way to remove my phone from an iCloud account without a password?

Ok. So a long time ago, around 3-4 years ago, my girlfriend at the time gave me her old iPhone 3GS as she had gotten a new one. Rather than resetting the device in any way I just kept using it with my SIM card. I have now just gotten an iPhone 4S and have set up from the back up of my 3GS. It keeps asking me to sign in to iCloud with my (now ex-) girlfriend's Apple ID. It keeps popping up and it's really annoying. Is there any way that I can remove this.
After reviewing the posts here I have found a way I can remove it from iCloud but I have to log in to her Apple account, something that I cannot do. Why is her account even tied to this phone?? It has nothing to do with her, it must have been pulled from my backup when I activated, right? If I reformat the device (and lose all my data :@) Will this fix the issue or will it completely lock out the phone from activation without her ID?
It seems rediculous that the phone that I purchased somehow believes it belongs to my ex-girlfriend. Any way around this that any one knows of? Preferably whilst also being able to keep my data if possible. I have no interest in using any iCloud features, but I really do not want this device to be registered to her account. Also, since I have never actually logged into her account with this phone, will it show on her account when she logs into iCloud??
Thanks in advance for the help/advice.

Hyperbole is not very useful on a tech support forum. No one flipped out.
Whether or not what happened is ridiculous or should or should not have happened is a question for another time and place. You should definitely submit feedback to Apple about it:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Regardless of why it happened or whether it should have happened, the only way to remove the activation lock is to contact Apple. You should be able to do it over the phone. You may be required to send them the original proof of purchase. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom right of every page.
Once you get the phone working again, do NOT restore it from you existing back up or you will, most likely, be right back where you started.
Best of luck.

How do I MERGE the purchases of two iTunes accounts into one Family Share?

We have purchased many apps via two iTunes accounts. How do we merge these purchases into on Family Share account

Hi MacHead2010,
I am not quite sure exactly what you mean by your question. It is not possible to merge two iTunes Store accounts. See this article for reference -
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
Using Family Sharing, however, does allow all members of a Family Sharing group to use the content such as music, apps, etc on each other's devices.
See this article for how to set up Family Sharing -
OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
This article will tell you what content can be shared -
Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Go to Settings > iCloud, and sign out of the Apple ID there, then sign in with a different Apple ID.

Merging files purchased under two seperate accounts.......

I have song within I tunes that were purchased under a specific ITunes account. When I deleted that e-mail account I created another ITunes account with my new e-mail account. I now have a variety of files in Itunes under two seperate accounts. My first question is, how can I merge these accounts so that my files are listed under my active account? Secondly, this is creating problems as I have activated another pc and am trying to synch my original library on the new pc.
Can anyone help?

You can't merge 2 accounts. The purchase name is embedded in each file and you are going to have to authorize using both accounts forever.
Each account has a limit of 5 PCs that you can authorize. So just activate both PCs with both accounts - use the Store > Sign Out menu item to switch between accounts.
This is a user chat board, and you're welcome to ask iTS support to merge your accounts, but others have not been successful.
