Merge two Apple-Accounts

Hi,
my daughter uses an iPhone and iTunes. I use an iPod (an iPad) and iTunes. We use iTunes with different Apple-IDs. Now, she leaves the apple-world :-( and I use the iPhone. How can I merge the two Apple-accounts?
Thanks for the answers.
Olaf

It's not possible.

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.

Somehow I have two apple accounts. Can I merge the two?

I am not sure why but I have two apple accounts with two different email addresses. This is causing problems with iMessages not syncing over my devices because the different email addresses cause messages to be sent to different devices so I miss messages. Can I merge the two apple accounts, if so. How?

Please see item no. 5 of this article:

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
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.

I have two apple accounts that I cannot get to merge as one.

I have two apple accounts that I cannot get to merge. One is a hotmail address and the other a gmail address as primary addresses in the two accounts. I would like to merge them into one account. I cannot verify the addresses of either accounts because when I do it will say that the address already exists. Therefore I can't get them to merge.
Also...
Me.com and hotmail are under the same account., but when I log into me.com some of the accounts turn into the hotmail account. I do not use hotmail anymore and use gmail regularly.
Any insight to these problems would be appreciated.

If these are both used as Apple IDs, then they cannot be merged. If they are just two email accounts of which you only wish to use one, then you would need to transfer the data you want to save from one to the other. Since the data are just email you would need to look for a way to export it from one email address as a file compatible with what the other can import.

How do I merge two iCloud accounts into one? One account is on my mac and ipad, the other on my iphone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot merge accounts, you will need to choose one and use it.

There is currently no way to merge accounts. The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.
HTH.

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

Apple IDs cannot be deleted.
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

You can't merge accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.

How to merge two apple id's?

I have two apple ID's and would like to merge them. What do I need to do?

An Apple ID is just a kind of "username", not good for anything unless you associate the ID with an itunes account and/or an icloud account. Merging two icloud accounts can be problematic, I would think, since data from two different contexts need to be merged.
So, to the OP, I must ask, in what way are you asking about merging two IDs? I can see asking about merging two itunes store accounts (but you can't, probably due to licensing agreements) or two icloud accounts (this would have to be carefully defined). For example, an icloud account limits you to the number of alias email adresses. If two accounts have a max number of aliases and they are all different (they'd have to be), how is this to be handled?

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

Merge two outlook accounts

Hi,
I would like to link/merge two account. One @hotmail acc and one @outlook acc into my one. The outlook account, and i would like this to be the account of use in my window future. I could see this was an available option before in manage permission on the
account service. But unfortunatly now im not able to change it. I have been a trusty Microsoft windows (hotmail and office) user since 2001, with a short transfer to Apple ecosystem. But now i really find the 360 platform, new windows 8 facelift and
general user experience improvement really interesting and i would thus like to concentrate my whole digital life into one seamless platform. So i really hope you can help me to merge my two account into one. Thanks, Martin
