How do I merge two ITunes accounts? I clicked on the "how to merge two accounts" and it directed me to create a new account and then provided no direction as to how to merge the two existing accounts.
Yeah, I asked apple about this a couple of times. Seems like even though I have a single iCloud account which knows about my 2 different email addresses, my iTunes accounts are associated with "each" email address. Seems like a simple database merge problem, but, no, Apple wants to be a prickly pear about this. I have a bunch of purchases "here@yahoo.com" and a bunch of purchases and my iCloud account on "There@mac.com". If I accidentally associate a iTunes gift card to one account they can't even transfer the amount of credit to the other account so I can consolidate my gifts and purchases.
I'm sure there's some really difficult situation that causes this. Maybe they keep older iTunes accounts on a green screen AS400 machine from IBM in a dark room in Cupertino -something silly and anachronistic like that-and iCloud is on their modern hosting platform which would have convert old EBCDIC to UNICODE or something. Oooo.
Really apple, Siri on MacOS Sierra Beta just told me that you have 115,000 employees...but none of them can solve this simple 1980's database transform and merge problem...and its not like you can't dip into your cash hoard and make customers happy for a couple hundred thousand dollars.
I've mostly given up and go through this very NON-Apple-simplcity way of dealing with it. I log in and out of accounts on any device when I need to get to the other account. Then I check in every year or so and write one of this ridiculous missives.

Too many employees and no Jobs I guess...

Reece,
This thread is kind of out of date. It would be good to start a new thread and explain exactly what you are trying to do.
It’s Not like Apple is overcoming a physical problem, like making a device 0.9 mm thinner; it’s a logical problem.
