from this support article:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to consolidate them into a single Apple ID?
At this time, Apple IDs cannot be consolidated.

How do I completely remove an iPhone from my iTunes account

How do I completely remove an iPhone from my iTunes account, I have removed my ex's iPhone from the device list but I keep getting notifications saying that her phone is now using FaceTime and iMessage, I have changed my password as well

If she is using the same iCloud account you can sign into iCloud.com > Find my Phone > Devices > select her phone and wipe it only if she had Find my Phone enabled in the iCloud settings on the phone.
Otherwise, you will need to contact her.
She needs to sign out on the phone.
Settings > iMessage > Send & Recieve > Apple ID > Sign out
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign ut
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
If she is using the same iCloud account too then:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account

Synching iPhone to two iTunes accounts

I have two iTunes accounts. One contains all my music for my iPod and is on our home computer. The other is on my company laptop. I have synced my iPhone 4 to the account on the laptop (so it syncs my Outlook info for business). I want to move the music from the iTunes account on my home computer into my iPhone. But if I try to manually move the music to my iPhone, it tells me that the phone can be synched to only one iTunes library and asks if I want to erase the iPhone and synch with this (my home computer's) iTunes library. How can I get the music from the one iTunes account either into my iPhone or into the other iTunes account? If I elect to "erase this iPhone" and synch with the iTunes library on my home computer, what exactly is erased from the iPhone? Just whatever music I might have in the phone (I have none)? Or does it erase everything in the phone (i.e. apps, etc.). Thanks so much to anybody who can help.

"Copy to an external hard drive?"
Yes, or dvd,cd, flash drive,etc. Where is your backup copy of your computer? It should have everything on it. You can use it to move everything.
"Second: Could I sync my iPhone to one computer just for music and to the other computer for other purposes (apps, Outlook calendar, etc.)? "
Hope it helps.
You can sync itunes content ( music/apps/vids/etc) with one computer and you can sync contacts/calendars to a different computer.
Hope this helps.

How do i unlink my old iphone from my itunes account?

I am selling my old iphone and it says that that it is still linked to my itunes account. how do i un-link it from my itunes account?

You can go to the iTunes Store on a computer, log on with your Apple ID, and click on the Apple ID in the sign-on box to select "View Account".
Once you have the account page displaying, you will see Manage Devices. Click on Edit to go to the devices list.
Don't forget to also sign out of iCloud on the device, and to go to iCloud.com and click on "Remove From Account" to remove the device from Find My iPhone in iCloud.
Erase All Content and Settings on the phone before selling it. Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings.

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,

Can you put apps from two iTunes accounts on one device?

I just got an iPhone from work. I would like to put some apps I got for my personal iPod on it, but I also plan to purchase some work-related apps using a work-account (charged to the company card). Is this possible? From what I understand it would be possible to put apps I purchased for the iPod onto the iPhone, but I can't find if I can then use a new account to purchase more apps for the iPhone.
Can someone let me know if this would work? Otherwise I'll just buy the apps using my personal account and get reimbursed (not as neat, but I can't use the work account for personal apps!)

Yes, you can do that.
You just have to remember from which accounts you bought which Apps when updating them, as you won't be able to update an App bought in one iTunes Account from another iTunes Account.
As far as purchasing new Apps goes - just log-in to the required iTunes Account on the computer you sync your phone to (which should only be one computer), purchase the Apps then sync them to the phone. If you want to purchase Apps from the other iTunes Account, log-out in iTunes then log in with the other iTunes account.
It might just be easier to purchase everything through the one personal account though...

HT1212 How can I zero the password on my iphone from me itunes account? The phone has a smashed screen and I want to back it up before I replace it but none of the sliders are working due to the smashed screen?

My iphone has a smashed screen and my laptop which it was connected to has died under warrantee and been replaced. I am going to replace my iphone but want to back it up first. Unfortunately the screen wont work and there is a password on it meaning I cant access it from my itunes account on the new laptop. How can I disable the password from itunes and back up the phone. It wont turn off or activate any sliders.

You can't disable the password. If you could, what would be the point of having one?

How can I access apps on one device from two iTunes accounts?

I have been told that apps can be loaded on the iPad from multiple iTunes accounts. Is this true? If so, how does one do it. My son has a school issued iPad. The school IT lead informed us that we could use apps that the school provides form the school's account and apps from our personal iTunes account. Please advise. Thank you.

You have to sign in and out of the accounts in the settings.
Settings>iTunes and App Store>Tap on the ID and sign out then sign in with the other ID. If you are running iOS 5 or under, it is Settings>Store>Tap the ID and sign out and sign in with the other ID.

Two iPhones and two iTunes accounts on one computer

My wife and I both have identical iPhones and my wife wants to give her laptop to my son. I thought that I could manage her iPhone from the same computer that I manage my iPhone from but I am having issues. If I logout of iTunes and login with her ID, iTunes does a backup of her phone but iTunes displays my apps, not hers.
I've searched this forum and cannot find the answer although I am confident that we aren't the first to want to do this.

Are you both using the same Windows login account or separate accounts? It sounds like you are trying to both use the same Windows login account as well as iTunes Library, which is probably where your problem lies.
I believe (but I haven't verified) that if you create a new iTunes Library for one of the two of you, you can each manage your own music & apps i your respective libraries. If you use separate Windows signon accounts, you can easily manage using different libraries, but it might be a bit more difficult using just one Windows account. All f this assumes you are using Windows since you don't clearly state, but similar could be applied to MacOS.

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.

Two Iphones need two itunes accounts?

Plan on buying two iphones, one for me and the wife. Do we each need an itunes account? Why or why not? Is there an advantage to having different accounts? If I use my itunes account to activate both phones will it play song purchased with my account on both phones?

MacShadow,
Activation for the iPhone, and authorization to play iTunes Store content are two different things.
This page has the video tutorial on activation, and shows activating more than one phone on either individual or family plans:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/usingiphone/activation.html
This article discusses authorization, and mentions syncing to an unlimited number of iPods in the footnotes:

Hope this helps,
