I'd love to solve this issue I always have had with 2 apple id's

I have 2 Apple accounts one was for emails and the other was just for MUSIC that I have over 7K of purchased music. Now I have another NEW iMac and want my music on this new unit. I cannot figure it out.

Also I have had given when I was able to create other email accounts, my wife her very own apple email address, that SHE cannot LOOSE...it's very important that she keeps this as well as myself.


iMac 24″, macOS 11.5

"How many Apple IDs do I need?

Just one. Use the same Apple ID everywhere you sign in to ensure that all your Apple services and devices work together seamlessly and you can access your personal content from all your devices."


Having more than one account makes for difficult management.


As for the music: Move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Community


Also look into using Family Sharing to continue to be able to use items purchased with one Apple ID with other Apple IDs.
