    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to consolidate them into a single Apple ID?

     

    At this time, Apple IDs cannot be consolidated.

    I, too, have multiple accounts. What a hassle! Everytime I want to update apps, I have to figure out which account to use.

     

    All was well until iCloud and I had to creat another account because of problems moving from MobileMe. My fear is that when Apple kills MobileMe I'll have to create yet another account!

     

    Put me down as another vote for Apple allowing merged accounts!

    Absolutely. I am so fed up with this. Apple insisted I change my apple id to an email address and then make it really annoying to access apps. It doesn't make any sense except if they get a kick out of punishing their loyal customers

    Why not just use the same password for your "multiple" accounts?  Then you don't have to remember which one is the issue.  I know this goes against security, but you are looking for a method of consolidating Apple ID's which is not an option.

    My AppleID has always been an email address.  When I wanted to use a different address I simply changed it and kept the same account.
