Merging Login Accounts

My 1st gen iMac died and I bought the latest iMac desktop. When I transferred all the stuff from the external HD that was on my old computer, I was required to create a new login for it on my new iMac. Now I have two login's.
Question: How do I combine the two? Or, how do I transfer my Word documents, iphoto, mail, etc. from one to the other? Any help would be much appreciated.

At this time Apple IDs can not be merged. You can manage any Apple ID by signing in with the proper credentials on this web page: Sign in to manage your Apple ID

Help with Merging Two Accounts....

Hi,
We ended up with two my Best Buy accounts.
I called up and talked with someone, who said they would merge the accounts....
A few hours later, when I logged in, the website said I had two accounts and to choose one to view.
That lasted for about 4 days,
Then, the website didn't ask anymore and just logged into one account ... which I thought meant the merge had occured.
HOWEVER, none of the purchases on the"other" account are on the primary account, which was the point of te

Hi scXenon,
I used the email address you registered with the forum to review your information, and I do see that you currently have two active My Best Buy™ accounts. If the primary information shared between the two accounts matches, then we should have no problem merging them. That process would involve closing one account, and then moving any unused points/certificates from the closed account to the active primary account.
I do see that you have an open case with our Account Maintenance department and I trust that they will be able to help successfully merge your accounts; however, I am going to send you a private message to see if there is anything I can help with. To check your private messages, you would want to login to the forum and click on the yellow envelope icon located at the top of the page.

Why does the Mac Pro merge email accounts?

When I set up the email the MacPro merged mine and my husbands accounts. How can I separate them?

INBOX is by design, the Union of all of your listed email accounts. I have six email accounts for various purposes that feed into my inbox.
If you want to look at them individually, just select the specific email account you wish to see displayed.
Mac OS X is prepared to have login accounts for each person, so that all their individual preferences (screensaver, opened Applications, desktop background, and lots of other items) can be tracked separately.
If you do not want to view your husband's email in your Inbox, give him his own login and put his email account there instead of in your inbox.

How do I merge two accounts into one account that contains all the files from both?

When I was running my MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard, I had one account for business that was encripted and another account that was unencripted for personal. Now, under Lion, the whole disc gets encripted so I don't really need two acounts. How do I merge the accounts together into one account and retain all the files from both?
Thanks,
Dave

Somethinkg like these?

I have multiple Apple IDs, can I delete one and/or merge my accounts?

I unintentionally have multiple Apple IDs. I just switched to an iPhone and the store employee created what is now my 3rd apple Id. Is there a way I can I delete the extra accounts so that I can have my email addresses all in one place? Or is there a way to merge my accounts?

1. No. Only Apple itself can delete Apple IDs; if desired, click here and contact them.
2. No.

IOS 8 - iCloud Keychain with Multiple Login Accounts for a Site

I use iCloud Keychain to store multiple login accounts for a single website.
When using Safari on a Mac, the last login account I used for that site is prepopulated in yellow fields. If I want to change the login account, I clear the field with the login ID and I see a dropdown of all of the login accounts available for that site.
When using Safari on iOS 7, the last login account I used is prepopulated (just like with the Mac), but if I want to use a different login account, I need to enter enough characters in the login ID field for Safari to know which login account I want to use and then it autofills using that account.
Now, with iOS 8, all I get is the last login account I used. I can't figure out how to autofill any of my other login accounts for that site.
I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Mike

Mike:
Did you ever find a solution for this? I just noticed the same behavior.

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account . Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2. Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one?

You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

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.

Sharing Music from different login accounts on a MacBook Pro

I just have a quick question. My wife sync's her iPhone to her account login on my MacBook Pro which is different from my login from startup. We share the computer but I got her, her own login so she could add and mess with the features she prefers. Anywho, I am curious if there is any way to share my music folder on my main admin user account on my MacBook Pro with her login account (we switch users, login and logout). Is this possible? Would make life a LOT easier. Hopefully this makes sense...we both just want to be able to sync the same music to our iPhones without having to backup all the music on my external harddrive and then load it onto her login account. I dont use Mobile Me.

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A on a separate hard disk? I lost all my old messages in July, but they are on the hard disk. Thanks!

Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A from separate hard disks? I lost all my old messages (thousands of them) in July, but most of them are safe elsewhere. I'd really like to put them all in one place, though!
The desktop (iMac) now has messages from July 2012 onward.
My separate hard disk backup has old messages up to June 2012.
Most of the ones between June and July are on a MacBook Pro which I bought about that time.
Is there a relatively easy and safe way to put these messages back together in Mail account A on my desktop again?
Many thanks!

Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category. If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
In that case, you should definitely post your question here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
where other Snow Leopard users can see your question. Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

Firefox doesn't work right under my normal login account, but is fine under another account. How do I clear my account settings in my normal account?

Shortly after installing FF4.0, it rendered a local (on my hard drive) website incorrectly. One page, with frames, has more than 1000 list entries each containing a link to another page. The links suddenly become plain text after a few hundred lines of rendered text. Other browsers render the page correctly, as FF did earlier as well.
Then FF began to crash. When I googled "firefox crashes" it crashed as I clicked the mozilla site link provided by google.
I followed various trouble-shooting pages on the mozilla site, but could not isolate the problem to any extension or plug-in. The problems persisted even with no plugins and no extensions. I backed off to FF3.6.12 and got the same problems. I logged into a different account and the problems disappeared.
I clearly need to completely uninstall FF in my main login account and reinstall it but I haven't been able to find all the files that need to be trashed.
What do I do?
best,
Lou

Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
Set up iCloud on your devices

Can I add a second login account to my ipad?

I would like to have 2 passwords and 2 login accounts for my ipad--one for my business content and one for my kids names. They love to play game with my ipad but I prefer not to give them free rein of my content including my email. Can I do this somehow?

No, the iPad is basically a single user device. You can protect your email via the following work-around : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632

Why is there no community checkbox for OS 10.7.3 or 10.7.4 when 10.8 is due within days?

Why would there be? There's never been version support, just the OS.
