Changing or merging Apple IDs
My original Apple ID is tied to my work email address. When I originally began using my Apple ID, I had no idea of the monster I was cretating! Now having kicked that can WAY down the street and nearing retirement, 95% of everything Apple...that I "own" is associated with that ID. Silly me...I thought I could transfer everything to a newer ID I created, that is attched to my personal email address, when my work email ceases to exist. Sadly, I now know that Apple IDs can not be merged. Do I have any other recourse? Does my Apple ID HAVE to be attached to a functioning email address, or might it remain operational, once my work email address goes away? HELP!!!!
