How do I combine 2 apple id's - 1 is an email address with @mac.com - the other is not an email address only the prefix

I have 2 id's for apple from over my 9 years of having an .mac account, which became mobile me - then icloud - now with iOS I've been asked to sign in with an email - so there are now conflicting accounts, some purchases with one account, some in my original account - this is very frustrating as you can imagine as my devices don't always sync - and I really want them too.


Please can someone help me with combining these two id's so I can have all my purchases under one account, I don't want to loose anything I've paid for! And then finally only have 1 ID.


Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem -

Apple doesn't seem to care to resolve this long standing problem.

What a hassle trying to download updates & merge & share Data between Apple devices.


Lucky it is a competitive marketplace, i have loved Apple products & currently most of my portfolio is Apple stock but it seems every day they get a little more arrogant.


Every day Android gets bigger & better & is certainly more flexible.


If Apple can't fix basic & known problems - we vote with our wallets & sell their stock before the world catches on.
