Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes

Transfer old Apple ID purchase info to New Apple ID for iCloud purposes
I currently have an apple ID that i have used for many years of ABC. This will hold all the apps and songs etc that i have purchased over the years. So i can currently download apps from app store using the new "purchased option" from the "Cloud".
I have just set up and wish to make a new account my main account for iCloud and all purchases. This is XYZ . How do i get all the purchase history and account actions from ABC apple id, to map across to the new XYZ apple id.
My objective is to log into my iphone on itunes, app store and icloud using the new XYZ apple id, but still be able to view and download any and all previous purchases held against the ABC apple id.
Can I/Apple port this account over so all history of purchases on ABC apple id, is now held against the new XYZ apple id.
Thanks

RE all those that say it cannot be done or why do i want to or need to...
When my phone (on iOS 5) had the old/main apple ID logged in and used, the iCloud page where you can enable iCloud for apps, mail, notes etc - it would not allow me to turn on mail or notes for iCloud. Said i needed to create an iCloud/Mobileme address to use these features.
When i created new mobile/iCloud account today it worked fine for all iCloud options on my iPhone. Also, the emailed address for mobileme/icloud was more to my needs/liking.
The new mobileme/icloud ID created today cannot have my main email address added to it as it says my current/main apple id is that email address.
Any suggestions?

I have an existing Apple Account but my brother and my parents are using it. Is there any way that i can transfer all the music purchases to a new apple account (once created, of course)

My parents and my brother are using my apple id. They are using my cloud and my money. I want to create a new Apple ID. But if i do, is there anyway to transfer purchases such as music to my apple device which will have a different Apple ID than the one i purchased them with. Please help
Thank you :)

No, all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, it can't be transferred to another account

I no longer have access to my old email for my old apple ID, I made a new apple ID with a new email. Can I transfer purchases?

No.
There's really no need to create a new AppleID as this will simply cause problems with multiple accounts.
Just update your old account with new info.

Can I transfer my old apple ID details into my new apple ID and delete the old ID forever please.

Hi . . . prior to purchasing my iPhone two years ago, I did you an old apple ID, the iPhone wouldn’t let me use this and I created a new apple ID.
Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases to my new apple ID account – delete my old ID and de-authorise Macs that I have had in the past???
Thank You.

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.

After opening the email it shoud of had you enter the Apple ID and password. Using certian web browser's can cause errors. You can adjust securty settings (big pain) or you use another browser. Using Firefox or Safari should do the trick.
Let me know if using Firefox or Safari resolved it.

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

Older songs cannot be accessed due to a previous Apple ID than that used now. Can I change my old Apple ID songs to my new Apple ID so they will be authorized to play?

My daughter started her itunes several years ago with a Apple ID(e-mail). Then she changed computers and started another Apple ID(e-mail). She has since aquired many more songs and videos. Her itunes shows old and new songs, but all the ones that were aquired with her original account cannot be accessed. The promt says they are not authorized. Can these old songs be authorized with her new Apple ID so they can be accessed and solve this problem forever?
Thanks!

If your iCloud account is the same Apple ID as the one you've changed then you will have to sign out completely (on an iPhone it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' - silly labeling: it will not delete the account from the server, only from the phone). Then you can log in with the new ID.
If your iCloud account is using a different ID from the one you've changed you can't change it to use the same login. You can change the login, provided it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address, at http://appleid.apple.com

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

How can I transfer contacts from one iPad to a new iPad with different iCloud addresses?

One way would be to e-mail them from yourself to yourself. That would totally avoid the different ID issue.

I'm trying to connect my 30" Cinema Display to my new Mac Pro along with a new Apple 23'" monitor. The new Apple monitor is fine. On the cinema monitor everything is blown up pretty large. Any ideas on how to solve this?

The 30" display needs a DUAL-LINK adapter.

Technically the Music, apps are not hers but yours as your Apple ID was used to get them. And as a consequnce they are tied to your Apple ID.
If she creates her own Apple ID she will need to get her own music, apps, etc...
