Hello jasdelta0801,


When you sign in with another Apple ID, you lose access to all purchases associated with the previous Apple ID. To access your subscriptions, you would need to sign in with the Apple ID they were purchased under, or cancel them and purchase them again under the new Apple ID. There is no way to merge Apple IDs.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!

Hi jasdelta0801,


Thank you for that additional detail.

Even if the email address that you used for your old Apple ID is inactive, it is likely that your old Apple ID still active.


If your old Apple ID is still active, you can associate a new active email address to it.

  1. Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in.
  2. In the Sign-In and Security section, choose Apple ID.
  3. Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID.
  4. Choose Change Apple ID.
  5. If you changed your Apple ID to a third-party email address, check your email for a verification code, then enter the code. Learn what to do if you didn't get the email.
  6. If you use services like iCloud or Messages to share with friends and colleagues, sign in to those services with your updated Apple ID.


You can use the article below as a reference.

Take care!
