Really fed up with multiple apple ID's and email addresses

I've been an apple product user for the best part of 5 years and I have two apple ID's, multiple iCloud alias's and a number of associated email addresses. Two questions:
Can all of my ID's be merged in to one account?
If not:
Can I create a new apple ID and transfer all my existing purchases from both of the other Apple ID's?
The way I see it is I paid for the content licence so I should be able to manage it as I see fit. Having multiple ID's seriously screws with my setting in iOS.
Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't merge accounts or transfer purchases from one account to the other. If you only have one account in use for iTunes, you could with a little effort transfer all your iCloud data from one account to another, so everything became part of the ID you currently use for iTunes.

Can you use facetime with same apple id but 2 email addresses (myself and my daughter)

I am having difficulty setting up Facetime. My daughter and I have the 4thgen iTouch and are trying without luck to use the same apple id and 2 different email addresses to use Facetime. Apple sends me a verification email to change the email address on the apple id to her email address, which I do not want. Is it possible to set up Facetime this way. If I set her up a separate apple id will all her old music and apps (under my apple id) still sync without problem? Thanks

Yes

However you can only sync all media from one iTunes library/computer. However, one can sync music and videos with different computers/libraries if you have iTunes setup to manually sync. See that method included here:

Multiple apple id to one email address

I have accidently created an apple ID with an incorrect email address, there i cant verify it (cause the email address doesnt exist). But when i try to create a new apple ID with the correct email address it says that email address is already being used??? Can i have muliple apple ID on the one email ? I really dont want multiple email address for every devise in our home? Cheers

It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account. Are you able to access your old accounts via this page and change their email addresses : http://appleid.apple.com ?

Can I have multiple Apple IDs on one email address?

How do I register for and Apple ID for my husband's ipad when I am using the family email for my own Apple ID?

An email account can only have one Inbox, and each email account can only be on one iTunes account. I don't use Virgin Media, but some providers allow you to have sub accounts under the main account, or can you create a second Virgin Media account to use on a second iTunes accout ? You can also create free email accound via, for example, http://hotmail.com and http://gmail.com
But you can use the same iTunes account on more than iPad - all content that you buy/download from the iTunes store is tied to the iTunes account that downloads it, so if you want to have the same apps, music, films etc on both then continuing to have just the one account may be preferable.

How do I create a second account with my husband's name and email address?

My account works fine. I read about Profile Manager, but couldn't find it. I can find Account 1 with my name. I see Account 2 listed, but no name or email address even though I typed that information into some form along the way.

Assuming that you are happy to share Thunderbird, and be able to see each others' messages, then there's no need for the profile manager.
If you want to keep things separate, then it's better to set up separate user accounts in the operating system. Each of you would then have your own private space for data and settings, including each having your own Thunderbird profile.
So, your husband already has his own distinct email address and account, set up with an email provider?
In Thunderbird, you'd use '''File|New|Existing Mail Account…''' (in the traditional menu) or '''[≡]|New Message|Existing Mail Account…''' (with the Application Menu button) to add his account to Thunderbird. I think you may have already done this given that you say you have entered the email address (and its password?) already.
I think at this point a screenshot of Thunderbird may help us understand what you do and do not see.

Use Paint or similar to blot out any data you'd prefer not to share.

HT1539 How can a digital copy be used in a household with multiple apple ids, synced on the same computer?

How can a digital copy be used in a household with multiple apple ids, synced on the same computer? I want to put a digital copy on my device, and on my wife's device.
Please help.

you're welcome.
actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close. if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

Can I sign in with multiple apple IDs in a single apple device without deleting my previous one?

Hi swagyoloswag,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There are several different services that require signing into an Apple ID to use on your iOS device. You can sign into different Apple IDs for different services on your iPhone. For example, Apple ID #1 for iCloud and Apple ID #2 for iTunes & App Store. You cannot sign into the same service with two different Apple IDs at the same time. The attached article has a list of services that are accessible with your Apple ID.

Contact your carrier and ask them.

I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update. Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

TS4020 family with multiple apple accounts, can we create a secondary "family" account?

family with multiple apple accounts, can we create a secondary "family" account?

You can perfectly well create a new separwate iCloud account: for this you will need to create a new Apple ID for which you will need a non-Apple email address you haven't used elsewhere for iCloud.
That done, everyone can sign into it in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable the various data types in the checklist there. This is a 'secondary account': its email, Contacts and Calendars will appear alongside those in the existing 'primary account' but you don't get 'push' email (it's checked periodically) and it cannot use PhotoStream.
Note that if you've been using the same device to create other accounts, there is a limit of three iCloud accounts which can be created by any one device, so if that's been reached you would have to use another device: once done the first device can sign into it perfectly well.

HELP!!! I am getting really fed up with things that dont work.

I am asking why a year ago i wasted money on Prem elements 8 only to have it not do the same as prem 2 did not do.
Neither will see my cameras a canon 650i & sony hc320i which were visible on Win 98 with prem elements 2, i now have win7 loaded Pe2 on both my new laptop & my 2 year old HP desktop the HP crashes if i try to go to DVD burn the Toshiba Laptop just does not see camera or DVD burners.
PE 8 i thought would be a solution after all its up to date but i hate it as a package oh and guess what it wont see camera or burner so great i wasted my £100+ on something thats horrid to use & wont work. Bring back PE 2 but how do i make it work on both PC,s.
Pe2 has always been a problem but worked with a lot of messing but now i can only download onto it from DVD then edit slowly ie 15 minutes for every tag on the timeline but having done this it will not see a burner.
Im not a techy but was told to re load Roxy or Nero missing out bits, i cant see either on my pc,s anyway & dont have the programs to load. the burner works with other programs so my guess is that Adobe just dont add the bits that do the job.
Well as you can guess i am fed up haveing spent money on something that does not do what it said on th box it just rubbish to expect a mere mortal to play around with a pc.
Question then is this simple, How do i get this to work properly without getting techy & download to DVD in PAL format and talk to the camera without it crashing my PC.

Hi in reply to this both cameras are dv video cameras the sony being 3 years old & great the Caon is 5 years old having been bought for the athens olympics. Operating system as stated is win7 that does see the cameras on my lap top. i dont know what other facts you need.
I have contacted Adobe at least 3 times since buying Adobe PE8 the last time pointing out very unhappily that customer service is about replying to emails. The customer service contact is the one with the original packing. i have to say this is getting me no where. I want it to work when loaded its on a new PC where nothing has been added as one of your colleagues has there is no'downloaded trash' the only programs on it are those that came with it plus PE8.
Life & PC's are supposed to be fun this is not. when i have the time to wait for elements to talk to the net 7 crash again i will ask for more help either Windows 7 is rubbish or the link to adobe. sad really

Your Canon 650i is a still camera. You should be able to download the photos from it using either Photoshop Elements or the Premiere Elements Media Downloader. The video, per the FAQs to the right of our forum, will likely need to be converted before you can edit it in Premiere Elements.
I could not find any specs on a camera called the Sony HC320i, so I have no idea if this is a still camera, a tape-based or hard drive based camcorder or even an AVCHD unit.
Beyond that, you really haven't given us nearly enough information to help you out. If you're unhappy with the software, you can certainly contact Adobe by clicking the Contact button at the top of this page.
Meantime, does Windows recognize a connection to these cameras/camcorders when you plug them into your USB or FireWire port? If not, the issue is with your system. Not the program. Without knowing what operating system you're using, it's hard to advise you beyond that.
Meantime, have you gone to Premiere Elements Help menu and selected Check for Updates to get the 8.01 patch?
Have you gone to Windows Update and manually downloaded the non-critical updates to ensure your system is completely up to date?
Again, if you're as frustrated as you are, I'm surprised that in the past year you have not contacted Adobe. At the very least, you could have asked for a refund within the first month or so.

My wife has an iPhone with an Appleaddress and password. I now have an iPad and am unable to sign in using her Apple ID. I am also unable to create a Free Apple ID as our email address (Apple ID) is being used by her. Any thoughts - Thanks Colin

My wife has an iPhone with an Apple address and password. I now have an iPad and am unable to obtain an Apple ID. I have tried using her's and am unable to create a Free Apple ID as our email address (Apple ID) is being used by her. Any thoughts - Thanks Colin.
PS Hope ths explains it

Why can't you use her ID? My wife, my daughter and I all use my Apple ID.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and try to sign in there with her ID. Make sure that you are entering all of the information (password) correctly.
If you really want to create a new Apple ID - use your own email address, but I would recommend using only one ID anyway.

I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit. Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I want to return my iPad 3, but I did not have an apple account at the time of purchase, and when I type in my order number and proceed to click "cancel order", it prompts me to log in with my apple I'd and then tells me that the account is not authorised

I want to return my iPad 3, but I did not have an apple account at the time of purchase, and when I type in my order number and proceed to click "cancel order", it prompts me to log in with my apple I'd and then tells me that I am not authorised to do anything on the account in relation to the transaction. What should I do?

You can view and edit your orders without an Apple ID by logging in with your order number, along with the shipping zip code or email address.
I copied the text posted above from this website.
http://store.apple.com/us/help/viewing_changing_orders
Click or tap on the Order Status link here and you should be able to type in the order number and your zip code.
To view or edit your Apple Online Store order, visit online Order Status and log in with your Apple ID and password.
