hello group, is it possible to merge two iTunes accounts into one? my wife has a German account, myself an Austrian and we want to merge these two accounts so that we have both (within the allowed number of computers) the same music... how does that work?
You cannot have two accounts logged in to the iTunes Store simultaneously, but you don't have to. Just authorize the first account, then authorize the second. Usually all you need to do is play a track purchased from an unauthorized account and it will offer to authorize; just enter in the appropriate user name and password.
You don't have to authorise every time at all.
My iTunes uses two iTunes accounts and happily plays music from both and I never have to log in to either to do it.
The only time you need to login to change the account is if you want to access the specific account or purchase music from that account.
