Merging multiple iTunes account, need help...

Heya,
So over the years I've had a total of three email address which I've purchased music through iTunes with. I'd like to simply merge these three accounts under my latest email address and account for the purpose of consolidating my iTunes library to be registered under just the one email address.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

  • Multiple devices one itunes account - need help!

    We have one computer, 2 iphones & one ipad, all on the same itunes account and now I can't update my iphone because all of my husbands crap is on my phone and there's not enough storage even after purchasing more storage.
    how can I set up my iphone on just MY account?  I don't want all of his apps & stuff on my phone, and now I can't update my phone, buy apps I want, ect...storage is FULL, but only on my phone.  His is fine....of course.
    Thanks for any help.

    I have ipod touch, When you register the ipod Touch give it a unique name. I have also connected all three at same time unless there is an issue I have missed I have had no problem. YOu can also set an option so that when you connect the device itunes will not start and then you can manually start it and choose the device you want to upgrade..etc.

  • HT1146 I have a NEW e-mail provider. I must CHANGE this on my Apple & iTunes account - need HELP !

    I haved moved after 38 years in the same place.
    I have changed e-mail addresses and cannot seem to get Apple to leave my OLD address alone. In trying to fix this, I have changed my password several times, and am now having a really bad time even getting into my iTunes account etc.  Need some help here.
    Thanks, Brian

    I'm assuming OS X here based on the choice of forum, and not iOS based on the footer.
    Please do not repeatedly change passwords or repeatedly fail passwords logins, or you'll risk triggering the evasion processing.
    I'd expect Apple to send a confirming email message to the old email address when you manage your AppleID data over to the new email address, but the selection should otherwise remain.  The mail message sent to the old address is intended to notify the user, should the account have been highjacked. 
    The email address is not tied to the AppleID password.  Other than you'll need the password to log in and change the saved email address. 
    You'll have various prompts for passwords around Safari and iTunes that might remember the old OS X settings via your local Keychain, and you'll be changing those as you log in.  (That's your local system applying defaults, and not anything at Apple.)  You can either change those as you log in, or you can open Keychain Access and (carefully!) find and remove the old entries.  (I'd strongly encourage making a backup of your keychain or of your system before deleting old Keychain entries.)
    If something else is going on and you've verified the email settings are correct on your account, then you'll probably want to contact the folks at Apple directly.

  • How can I merge multiple iTunes accounts

    Hi All:
    I have two iTunes accounts - each tied to a different email address. I'd like to merge them into one, and allow all of the songs purchased from both accounts to be accessed via only one account....Then I can close out the older account.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • Family using one itunes account, need help

    A while back my sister got her first ipod so we set up an account for her using dad's email and credit card. Then I got my own and set up my own library on my computer, but still used dad's itunes account. Eventually I came to realize that any giftcards I redeemed could be used by her despite being on a separate computer, so the little brat keeps on using my money.
    Anyhoo, my dad just got an iphone, and we figured we might as well all get our own separate accounts seeing how much trouble sharing one has caused. But I'm unsure of how to go about this. If I make a new account for myself, will I still be able to access my own music? Will dad be able to use the old account with no problems?

    If I make a new account for myself, will I still be able to access my own music?
    Yes, but you will need to keep track of the username and password for both accounts.
    Will dad be able to use the old account with no problems?
    Yes, unless the password is changed. You need to be able to log into an iTunes Store account for the authorization process needed to use content other than iTunes Plus songs purchased with it.

  • Directory Structure - My Dad has multiple user accounts, needs help

    My father (who is 87) has an iMac with OS 10.6.5 installed, apparently from a full install disk with upgrades.
    The problem is, he has previous user accounts created under Leopard and Tiger, also in his name (with slight variations). The ~Applications folders in these old user accounts contain older versions of Safari, iPhoto, etc. etc. I think the Tiger user account was moved from an older Mac using migration assistant.
    He auto-logs in under his 10.6.5 user identity, but has forgotten his user passwords for the two other accounts.
    His dock icons point to various applications in the ~Applications folder on all 3 user accounts. So, for example, when he tries to access Disk Utility from the Dock, it says "this version of Disk Utility is incompatible with your system" (because it was created by Tiger).
    He asked me for help with a seemingly simple printer issue, and the more I dug into his system, the worse it got.
    How can I delete his two inactive user accounts without a) knowing the passwords and b) losing photos and documents proper to those accounts?

    1. You need to be able to authenticate as an administrator (if his current account is an administrative account this will work). Just go to accounts, click the lock icon, and authenticate with his password. Then delete the accounts.
    2. Before deleting the old accounts go to Finder and navigate to the home folders of the old users. Ctrl-Click on the folders, click on the lock icon, authenticate with an administrative account, and then add a sharing permission that allows his current account or all administrator accounts to read and write. You can then read and copy (and delete if need be) whatever files you need.

  • HT1918 Is there a way to merge multiple itunes accounts? My original itunes account (for my 1st gen ipod touch) has all of my purchases but it is not compatible with the icloud account.

    I had an ipod before the icloud was introduced.  All of my apps and music were purchased using this account.  In order to use icloud services, a me.com had to be created.  My purchases and apps are in the original account and my email, contacts, calendar and notes are in the new account.  Is there a way to merge them?

    You cannot merge accounts.

  • My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!  Help!

    My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! 
    How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch?  The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded.  How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
    Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
    I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
    Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck!  Help!

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

    Hello
    I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
    I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
    Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
    It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
    If you need anymore information please ask!

    Hello roaminggnome
    Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
    The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
    Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

  • One credit cards, multiple ITunes accounts

    Can I have multiple ITunes accounts with different email addresses and use one single credit card when purchasing items from each of the accounts?

    Actually, you can't have more than 3 accounts tied to the same credit card in iTunes. And Apple support (online, chat, email, phone, store) is no help in figuring out what is going on. When you try to setup the 3rd account with the same credit card, iTunes says "Contact iTunes Support to complete this transaction" but does not provide any contact info. I've been trying to set up the 3rd of 9 accounts I need to setup for our corporate iPads for 2 days now.  Support did some digging and after an hour on the phone, told me I could "have each user just set up their own iTunes account with their own credit card".
    This is so remeniscent of steps another computer company stumbled over when they started to sell to Corporate America. Apple does not get the corporation. Product looks good but there is a lot of unfinished business when it comes to administering multiple devices. Support is friendly but not very able to solve the problem.

  • Multiple iTunes Accounts on the Same Computer

    iTunes states that you can have multiple iTunes accounts on the same computer. But when I attempt to put in a new user account (for my wife so she can have her own music library) my own iTunes account pops up when I go to load iTunes while in her user account. And if I create any account that is NOT an 'Admistrator' account iTunes refuses to install itself as the "user does not have the privileges - consult your Administrator". So I am lost as to what I need to do to create separate iTunes accounts where each person has their own iTunes library and thus their own music. Perplexed...

        "Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
    No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
    So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.

  • Can you now have multiple Itunes accounts sharing content on one computer?

    Hi - I was trying to find this information on line but cannot.
    The last "big" Itunes update (11.2?) prevented multiple Itunes accounts from sharing content on one computer.  Well, you can, but with consequences. For example, my husband purchased a movie rental with his Itunes account on our computer when he logged on to Itunes, but then I could not download any Itunes content for 30 days when I logged on to my account. I no longer purchase any content from Apple because of this. I was hoping this feature has been discontinued – it prevents households from purchasing Itunes.  We never pirate or steal any content at all. In fact, this feature forces us out of the Itunes universe to purchase movie rentals and music elsewhere.
    Not just trying to complain, really. Legitimately want to find out if this rights policy still exists before we both try to rent or purchase anything from Itunes.
    Thanks.
