When two become one in holy matrimony... what happens to their iTunes accts

I have an iPhone 4 and just purchased a brand new MacBook Pro today (!) as well as an AirPort Extreme. My husband has an iPhone 3GS, an iPad and a Thinkpad as well as another computer he's running Ubuntu Linux on.
It's to the point now where we are making a hot mess of our data with duplication etc. and we'd like to merge our iTunes Store accounts and just have one family account that all our devices can sync to. We'd just create a new account, but we've (especially him) spent literally hundreds on apps for the iphones/ipad.
Is there some way we can merge our two accounts? Or transfer our old purchases to a new account and deauthorize our old account?
Apple has made TONS of money off of us, the least they could do is let a married couple share their music/apps.

From the Apple ID FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
Q-I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to consolidate them into a single Apple ID?
A-Sorry, but this is not possible at this time via our online tools. You can speak with an AppleCare representative (1-800-692-7753), who can help you consolidate your registered Apple products. They can also help register your iPods, iPhones, or Mac computers under a single Apple ID.

  • What happen to my iTunes

    Since I downloaded iSO 7.1 onto my iPhone 4, I've had several problems to the point that I had to restore my phone. This was a pain after I got my phone working again but all my iTunes were gone,  so I when to Apple iTunes to synce the tunes I preciously purchased but only had one album by Lionel Richie. I said no problem I'll use by iPad to sync the tunes onto my iMac. The download did not work and it removed all my tunes from my iPad. Using the iPad to access Apple iTunes the same thing happen when I went to purchased tunes.
    What happen to the iTunes, over hundred I had purchased, I thought that they were supposed to be there forever.

    Hello, I d like to buy Lightroom but first I want to know if this is possible to install it on two different computers? If not, what happen if I change my computer. Thks for your help.

    The standard licence covers installation on any two computers - one being in use at any time.
    If you change computers, simply uninstall from the old machine and install on the new - Lightroom doesn't use "dial home" activation and deactivation.

    I've lost the voice track when I listen to music with headphones.What happened? Can I get the complete sound back?

    Try compressed air. Try tweezers and a magnifying glass with good light.
    The next step would be to Google an iPhone repair service in your area or use this as a good reason to upgrade.

  • HT1206 what happened to my iTunes library, it disappeared except for the purchased songs?

    What happened to my itunes library it disappeared except  for the purchased songs?

    By being gone do you mean the library is not in your Pictures folder or when you open the library you don't see any photos or thumbnails?  If it's the latter apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I'm moving to Canada, what happens to my iTunes account?

    I'm moving to Canada from the UK, what happens to my iTunes account, can I convert it to a Canadian one and keep the same username and password and also keep all the content I currently have on my iPhone/iPad?

    I really don't know what this means.
    What do you mean "when I try to change the email on my itunes"?
    Where on itunes are you changing an e-mail?  and for what reason?
    Not sure at all what you are trying to do an it seems that you are confusing e-mail, itunes accoutns and libraries.
    Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
    You have music on your computer?  You want that music on your iphone?

  • Two different apple IDs/two different iClouds - help! I had a Yahoo e-mail when I bought my iPod and registered it/set up my iTunes acct with it. Gmail acct w/ my iPad due to virus, now 2 apple ids and 2 iclouds, can I merge them somehow?

    When I set up my iPod I had a Yahoo email account, and I set up my iTunes acct. with it. It got hacked, viral, and I closed it. When I got my iPad2, I had a gmail account, and set it up w/ that email account. As a result, I was given a different apple id - stupid of me. This also resulted in me getting a different iCloud. When I got my iPhone, I used my iPod account (linked to a newly set up Yahoo account), because I wanted all of my iTunes song on my phone. So now I have two apple ID's and two iClouds, and my phone and my iPad are on separate iClouds. I hate it, and I don't know if I can somehow merge the two. I want to buy additional iCloud storage, but only if I can do so on ONE account that is for both devices. Does anyone know if/how I can accomplish this?  Thanks so much.

    Hi zagory,
    In your program you may need to lock your table when you update the record and unlock it back so that the database entries remain consistent.
    See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/41/7af4c8a79e11d1950f0000e82de14a/content.htm for SAP Locking example.

  • Ipod classic will only show apple sign and a big red X when I try to do anything? What happened? How do I fix it?

    Ipod classic froze and after resetting it, will only show a grey apple sign and a big red X when I try to do anything. Don't know what happened. Don't know how to fix it. Tried everything it says to do in support. At this point I would be happy with getting it back to  factory default.

    Hi katieperkins99,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    I understand that your iPod classic is displaying a red X icon on the display. In this situation, I would recommend restoring your iPod from Disk Mode. Please use the information located in the attached article for instructions on completing the process.

    I think the Epson WF 3540 would work very well for school or home office.  I researched printers to death and could not find a printer with more of the features that I wanted for a better price.  Check out the review on Amazon to see what I mean.
    My wife and I generate a fair amount of paperwork from our home office. We are a Mac family and the setup was seamless aI do a lot of  wireless printing and scanning and it works like a charm. I particularly liked the two sided printing and the speed.
    Check out the reviews:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091DPYDU
    I couldn't agree more!  I have used many printers at work and assigned many as well. I typically use laser printers for the obvious reasons. I purchased the epson WF-3540 for the H.R. dept due to certain demands (needed fax mach, needed auto duplex print and scan capabilities, needed e-print, needed to print on envelopes and needed to print in color) Speed was a factor as was ink usage and cost. This printer claimed to meet all those needs while using little ink. I was shocked at how fast this thing was.It scans like a dream. Needless to say this is basically the only printer I purchase now and everyone I got it for LOVES it. Great job Epson

  • Restoring from iCloud backup - what happens to non-iTunes music?

    iPhone4, iOS5 and want to restore from an iCloud backup.  Wondering what happens when music not purchased on iTunes (95% of my collection), when I restore from that backup?  I'm thinking it will all be gone and I will have to go through the painful process of re-selecting all artists\songs I want on the phone in addition to re-creating my playlists.
    Can anyone confirm what happens in this scenario?
    Thanks!

  • What happened to my Itunes?

    Went to open Itunes today and nothing, did some trouble shooting and still nothing. Tried Terminal which someone suggested and when I did that I got a message saying itunes wont run in 64 bit mode change to 32. Followed the directions on how to do that only to find there is no 32 bit toggel in my Itunes Info. What the **** happened everything seemed to be working fine a couple of days ago and now this. I see that a number of other people are having the same issue but have all had different fixes so what happened here and can someone help me get back online?

    You're welcome! And let's not forget a word of thanks to the Discussions own Hudgie!
    I think what Jasco is asking about (above and below) is the Browse panels in your Library display.
    If so, Jasco, you can set them up by going to the iTunes Edit menu >Show Browser command. That will give you the Artist and Album columns. If you want the Genre column as well go back to the Edit menu > Preferences > General tab and check Show Genre when browsing.
