Hey Inthedark1969,


Since there isn't an option to merge Apple IDs, you'd want to choose one Apple ID to use. Once signing into that Apple ID, you will have access to apps, games, etc that was downloaded/purchased with that ID. Any apps that were downloaded using the other ID will need to be deleted and redownloaded under this ID.


If that doesn't happen, the App Store will prompt you for the password to the other Apple ID when needing to update them.


If you have additional questions, provide more information. It may help you get more answers.


Take care.
