Multiple Id's associated with one account?

When I first created my Apple ID, I was using a communial personal computer. There were multiple users utilizing multiple apple ids on the same PC. The computer is no longer shared, and I've even changed my personal computer to a new MacBook Pro, but years later every time I atempt to make a App store purchace I am prompted to give the password for not only my apple id, but those of the 4 other users.
I don't understand how my account has become so integrated with the others -- is there a way to streamline my account?
Thanks for any help!

if you guys were sharing a computer andsyncing with that computer, chances are you picked up some of their content along the way.
For example- lets say you have apps that say they need updating. You go click on one to update it, and up pops somebody elses apple id and password field for you to enter their password.
You go to the next app, ad it pops up saying the same thing.
So you move on to the next one,which is yours, so you update it.
What you have encountered is somebody elses content on your phone/ipad/ipod/whatever.
That content is only accessible from the apple ID it was used to purchase it. So even tho you may SEE the content on your phone, you cannot access it or play it. it is not yours, it was purchased or downloaded from somebody elses apple ID.
The only way you can stop that is to delete the apps/content that is not yours. If its content that you do want, you can download it while signed in to your own apple ID and it will then belong to you.
you can delete apps by pressing and holding the icon, you will see an X appear, click that X and it will uninstall/delete the app.
And just incase you ever share a computer again, check out the following article.

HT204053 Can I have multiple apple ids associated with one itunes acct?

When using iCloud with multiple devices (my kids phones, computers and mine), syncing causing all sorts of problems like losing contacts & info between devices. Is there any way to create an apple id for each person but still use the same iTunes account?

yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
Music:
If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
Apps:
I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
Since I also have young kids using these devices:
I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
Hope this helps!

Using Multiple Apple TV's with One Account

I am thinking of installing multiple Apple TV's in my home so we can rent/buy movies in different rooms. Is their any limitation of how many can be logged in at one time? Can I be downloading to multiple ATV's at the same time using the same account?

You can connect up to 5 tv's to your itunes library. Yes they can download content from the itunes store at the same time, playback the same or different content at the same time or a mixture of each. You may find though that this can put a strain on some networks and performance may vary.
I have 5, I can't say for sure I've ever had five playing movies together, certainly had 3 and probably 4 and for me they have worked well, albeit my network is a little more than what most people would want to set up.
"This is my tv set-up"

I have 2 Apple ids and two corresponding iCloud accounts. My five Apple devices are linked to one or the other. As one consequence a small number of my contacts are associated with one iCloud account, the majority with the other. How can I merge?

For reasons not entirely clear to me I have ended up with two Apple ids, two iCloud accounts and my Apple devices being associated with one or the other iCloud account/Apple id. One of the complications is that my contacts are partially owned by one iCloud account, partially by the other.
Is there any way to
- merge the contacts (I have tried exporting from one and importing into the other but one set will overwrite the other)?
- migrate all devices to one single iCloud account without being locked out for 3 months?
- merge Apple ids or just delete one of them without locking out devices?
Grateful for any suggestions because this is turning into a headache.

You can merge the contacts from one account with your other one without overwriting them. Sign into the first account, download them as vCard (iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard), email them to a device signed into the account you want to merge them with, tap the vCard and choose Add..., then Create New Contacts.
You can also migrate a copy of the data in one account and merge it with the other by signing into the account you are leaving, then signing out (or deleting the account if not running iOS 8), then choosing Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign into the other account and choose Merge when prompted. This won't move Notes however. If you are syncing notes that you want to migrate from the other account, you can temporarily add the account to your Mac as a secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with the other account ID. Then enable notes syncing in the secondary account. You will then be able to open the notes app and drag and drop notes from one account to the other. When you're done, delete the secondary account from your Mac.
You can't merge IDs as Apple does not allow it. Also, you won't be locked out of anything for 3 months. The "90-day switch" rule only applies to changing your iTunes store account, not your iCloud account. Just leave your iTunes store account as-is. The ID you use for the iTunes store does not have to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

HT1420 I have two email accounts associated with one iTunes account

I have two email accounts associated with one iTunes account with two passwords, I guess it happened when i changed my internet service provider.

Could be, but i do have an old email account, whis is not used, changed carrriers. I have noticed that some songs have a cloud with a line through it. I try to play it and a dialog box from Itunes pops up: "THIS COMPUTER IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLAY "THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE(SOUND TRACK VERSION, would you like to authorize it? THe apple ID haxe my old email address " and an empty block asking for my password. Well all i know is when you start trying to authorze with an old ID or something of that nature, the account is block and you need to do a new setup again. And who knows what other problems that will cause,
I just want the songs (i think there are several songs) assosiated with this old account to move to my new account.
Any ideas?

You want to uise the newer account with the iPad?

Tap account, sign out then sign in with the account you want.

How do I delete an Apple ID account. I apparently have 2 IDs associated with one email address.

If you go onto your ipod, under settings, scroll down to icloud, there should be a botton that says, "delete account". push this, and it should delete an account.

Any ideas ?

I'm afraid that once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't re-use it in any way. You will have to create another address (such as a free on from GMail or Yahoo for example).

Itunes says it is already associated with another account on ipad2 when i only have one account

I am trying to get my ipad2 to download purchases previously made from itunes. If i go to settings store and slide the automatic downloads for music to on, it says that this device is associated with another account and cannot be changed for 90 days, i only have one itunes account and these settings are saved underneath. Any ideas?

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT2486 How can I send an email to all of the email addresses associated with one contact? Similarly, in regard to group lists, how do you include for distribution all email addresses associated with each contact in the group?

Often times there are multiple email addresses associated with a single contact in address book. How can I included all of these email addresses when creating an address book group?

Don't be surprised.
Apple offers free, basic Mail and Address Book apps and creates paid, more sophisticated solutions, also allowing Developers to provide more sophisticated solutions for sale in the marketplace.
When I need to repeatedly email to multiple contacts, I create a blank draft email, and use the Address Book button to list the appropriate address book group. With the Address Book window open, it's easy to click to add multiple email addresses for a single contact name. Each is added to the message email address list. Then I save that blank email to iCloud Drafts, and it retains the email addreses I've entered. Next time I need to send a message I double-click on it in Drafts to open it, and drag it to one of my other email accounts to add Subject and details, then send from the other account.

How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
While Im logged in I plug in my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

Previous user has left the Company and is uncontactable. The company owned iphone is associated with thier account.
How do we provide POP to Apple for Apple to dissasociate the device form the previous users account?
Thanks.

Without the previous user's ID and password, or getting him to remove the phone from his list of devices, the iPhone is useless. There is no workaround for this and certainly where individuals are concerned Apple cannot help.
I have seen a suggestion that Apple may be willing to do this in a corporate situation like the one you are in, but I've seen no confirmation of this. You have nothing to lose by contacting Apple and asking, but don't be surprised if you are told it can't be done. This is a security device and if it was possible to bypass it there would be no point in having it in the first place.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:

As you see, the way to resolve it is clear, and you seem to have reached some folks in your attempts that were not able to resolve it. Nevertheless, you should not allow them to fob you off...insist that the KB instructs the resolution path and insist that they make good on that.
