Joining 2 apple ID accounts together

Somehow i have 2 apple IDs one under an email i actually use and one under an email that i don't use anymore, unfortunately all my purchases and my iPod, iPad etc are all under the ID associated with the email i don't use. I'd like to change the email to one that i DO use however i don't want to loose my purchases and have to reconfigure all my stuff. How can i either join the 2 or do something to solve this problem.

I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together, how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together so I can get all my songs!! My computer crashed and I'm tryng to change everything over to my mac via my ipod classic and just Transfer old files. It's ejecting my disc (ipod) so I figured I could just change my old Apple ID to be one with my new one.
how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

There is no way to merge two Apple IDs as all purchases made with each account are always tied to those accounts.
All you can do to each account is change the email address for each one but they can't have the same email address.

HT204053 my husband has his own apple ID account on his pc that is old and slow can he join my mac with his own ID

my husband has a pc which is old and slow he has his i tunes with his own apple ID account on it. We have just purchased a MAC which me and my children use for our i tunes and own account. Can my husband transfere his Itunes and own account to my mac

You could combine the content in one library on the Mac, but it could lead to a few problems, if you would take only one Apple ID (e.g. for App updates you would persistent have to sign/out, ...). So I would recommend to use different librarys unless you take one of your IDs for all future purchases. In this case it would make sense to combine everything in one library.

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything?

My wife and I have made many purchases over several years on seperate accounts, how could we join them into one account, without losing everything? We both use Iphone 5's and share an Imac at home.

Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.

Have two i phones owned by one person. Gave older I phone 4 to spouse. All synced items going to both phones. Created two different Apple ID Accounts but still having problems. Bought more icloud for one device but it went to the other one didnt need

How can i seperate to i phones that have been synced together. I created two different Apple Id accounts but for instance my icloud purchase didnt go to the phone i needed it to go to

If you look at Settings > iCloud on each phone, is the Account different? The Apple ID listed there should control iCloud storage allocation. [I assume your "icloud purchase" was more storage capacity.]
The Apple ID is separately specified to control iMessage, iTunes and App Store purchases, etc.

Family sharing between two existing Apple ID accounts?

Greetings,
My wife and I have two long standing Apple ID accounts and were exciting at the prospect of Family Sharing in iOS8. What we would like to do is to be able to see and share the purchases we have made over the years instead of having to log into each other's accounts. It appears that we can't create a family group with both ID's however. Does anyone have any suggestions conceding the best way to accomplish what we are trying to do?

Hello there, Matt.
Family Sharing is one of the exciting service that rolled out with iOS 8. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to how sharing works:
Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT201085
One additional point is addressed, in this article:
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing
Get organized.
To get started, one adult in your household — the organizer — invites up to five additional family members and agrees to pay for any iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases they initiate while part of the family group. Once family members join, the features of Family Sharing are set up on everyone’s devices automatically.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Can I sync two apple ID accounts to the same account?

I have two apple ID accounts, one for my work Mac, and another for my iPhone 5. Is there a way I can sync the two accounts together onto the same email address? Thanks for answers in advance.

Nope, content from one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

You can't, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

One app, two different Apple Dev accounts ... Will it work?

Building a standalone/single-issue viewer app for a client. We've asked to be invited to join their Apple Dev team, but the client proposes this workflow instead:
Scenario 1
• We use OUR iOS Provisioning Portal/Apple Dev account to generate all the certificates, provisioning profiles and the app ID needed to bake out the app.
• We deliver the final binary (.zip file) to the client.
• Client uses ITS iTunes Connect/Apple Dev account to deliver the binary to Apple, so that the client will be the publisher of record in iTunes.
WOULD THIS EVEN WORK? Can you really create an app using one Apple Dev account, then publish/manage it w/ iTunes Connect using another Apple Dev account?
We've also heard this scenario:
Scenario 2
• Using our Apple Dev account, we generate: Development Certificate (.p12) and Development Provisioning Profile
• Using, their Apple Dev account, the client generates: Distribution Certificate (.p12) and Distribution Provisioning Profile
THEN …
1.) … WHO generates the App ID, considering that our dev and their dist provisioning profiles need to be tethered to the same App ID?
2.) If it's the client, how do we tether OUR dev provisioning profile to THEIR App ID?
Big thanks in advance.

My only experience with publishing is to create both the dev and distribution apps, so I haven't tested that workflow yet. But I've heard of publishers who need to do what you're proposing. As I understand it, you would basically create the required cert files from two different Apple accounts. With your Apple account, you would create a dummy App ID (such as com.publisher.publication.test), and create the dev .p12 cert, the dev mobileprovision file, and the dev push cert. Your client would create the real App ID (such as com.publisher.publication) along with the distribution .p12 cert, dist mobileprovision, and dist push cert. Once you get these certs, you use Viewer Builder to create the app using the cert files from the combined Apple accounts. You would publish and test the development ipa file. If it all works properly, your client would sign in to Viewer Builder, download the distribution .zip file and submit it to Apple.
As I said, I haven't tested this workflow yet, but we're currently setting up a similar split environment.

Why can't I join multiple apple id's?

Why can't I join multiple apple id's? I made a mistake, purchased apps in both now I want everything running through the same Id. I'm not asking for much here.

Apple's policy states that Apple ID accounts cannot be merged.

If you did not configure FindmyIPod on it, I'm afraid you are out of luck. Report the theft to the local authorities and change the passwords to any and all accounts you have may used/accessed or configured on the iPod Touch.

Merging two Apple ID's together

Hi, I have an iPad and iPhone which are under the same Apple ID however i bought an iMac and for some reason this has a different apple ID, are we able to merge our accounts together so every device syncs with each other?

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Question: I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?

My kids music is being transfered to my apple ID account how do i stop it

My kids and I use different apple ID accounts but for some reason when i clicked onto my account today all of their music was on there. How do i fix it?

Have you tried just a hard reset of the iPod to see if that makes any difference? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If that doesn't work, try resetting all settings by going to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. This will not erase any of your media such as music, movies, etc.
