Two Apple ID accounts shareable?

I know we can't merge two Apple ID accounts but can we share in iOS 8, then download then delete second one? I want to move all my purchases under an apple email and not use a yahoo email address.

No, you cannot do that. All purchases under any Apple ID are permanently tied to that Apple ID. See below for what you can do.

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.

Stop using one. Everything you've previously purchased from it has that Apple ID stored inside the file, which can't be changed.

HT1918 My name is Paul Augsburger I have had several issues with my account and they are now fixed with one exception, I have two Apple ID accounts, and I would like to combine them. Please contact me at pra1949 (at) me (dot) com for further information.

Please contact me at pra1949 (at) me (dot) com for any further contact I don not monitor the suelefriends (at) gmail (dot) com email.
I have had several iisues with my Apple ID accounts and spent many hours at the APPLE store in Richmond Va. getting them fixed. The technician was wonderful, patient and very knowlegeable, however he was not able to complete the task and said I needed to contact Apple support for the final step. During the process of fixing things I ended up with two APPLE ID accounts. my main accout is suelefriends (at) gmail (dot) com and the second account is "pra1949 (at) me (dot) com" I have most of my apps tied to the main account with only a few to the pra1949 account. I also have $25 worth of credit on the pra1949 account. Because of the two accounts it still makes updating apps very confusing and very cumbersome. I would like to have the two accounts merged so I end up with one account with all the money and APPS tied to it, that way I only need one password to update. I hope this is possible.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here and they don't monitor these forums - I've asked the hosts to remove yout account ids from your post.
In terms of combining accounts it's not currently possible to do so, nor to copy/transfer content from account to another.

What to do, as I have two Apple ID accounts?

You can use only one Apple ID if you wish, but it is impossible to transfer purchases to a different Apple ID. You will need to repurchase your content with the Apple ID you are going to use.

I have two apple id accounts ,when i used to update application it used to prompt a default id and if the application was downloaded using the other id i would cancel and it would prompt the other id but not any more .

You cannot merge Apple ID's. Copied from Apple's FAQ about Apple ID's.
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.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

HT5622 Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

Can I sync two apple ID accounts to the same account?

I have two apple ID accounts, one for my work Mac, and another for my iPhone 5. Is there a way I can sync the two accounts together onto the same email address? Thanks for answers in advance.

Nope, content from one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

This seems strange that it is not possible.

HT204053 Two Apple ID Accounts

I have created two Apple ID accounts at different times and now get confused when using them. How can I delete one account leaving only one account to use?

You cannot - and anything purchased with an AppleID is forever tied to that AppleID. To not get mixed up, the best thing to do is to make the password on both IDs identical. Then it won't matter which one is coming up for an update - you just type in password assigned to both of them.
Keep the passwords in sync, and pick one to use going forward. Use that one for your iTunes logon and your iCloud account.

Can you have two apple id accounts on one computer??

Hi all
Can you have two seperate apple ID accounts on the one computer?? Imessaging wont work between two iphones if both iphones (husband & wife) use same apple ID account. any help appreciated

Yes, you can. Apple IDs are really not meant to be shared.

I have two Apple ID accounts, both under the same e-mail address, how can I merge them?

Because of this I was having trouble transfering some purchased apps. I apparently purchased some apps with a newer apple ID I created with a new credit card (thinking I was only changing the credit card settings from my initial account), yet both are under the same e-mail address. This is also giving me trouble with setting my iCloud account up because it says I need to "verify account" and that it will send me an e-mail to do this, but it hasn't!

You cannot transfer content between two accounts. The sooner you make the conversion, the better. Just pick the new one and start using it(buying music etc).
*A lot of people open new accounts when their email changes or they have a new email. You can just access your apple id account and change the primary email that you use to log in along with other details.

HT1311 For some unknown reason I have two Apple ID/Accounts in operation which is causing an issue. How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?

For some unknown reason I have two Apple ITunes/ID Accounts in operation.
How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?

I have a similar situation.. in my case, I started using an Apple ID a while back, then when MobileMe was introduced, I got an account there, and somehow that is the account that is mostly used when making updates or purchases.
Sometimes when making updates, it prompts me for the PW for one account, and sometimes for the other.
This is a real pain - is there anyway both these accounts can be consolidated into one? When I asked an Apple rep, I was told 'no', but they have been known to make mistakes when giving advice. So, is there a way? Technically, I don't see this as a problem.. but Apple seems to be of the opinion that this would lead to having apps 'shared' amoung users. I think all that would be necessary if for me to provide the necessary proof that both accounts are indeed mine, and not belonging to someone else.
If not, what about deleting the apps registered to one account, and then re-purchasing them with the other account? To do this, I would need to identify which apps are registered to which accouts - is this possible? Most of my apps are free, but there are a few I paid for.. not many, so this possible solution might work and not cost too much. Ideas?
