Q: Is there a way to combine two apple ID accounts into one?

Hi, I have two Apple IDs that I use on two different apple computers. I have tried to transfer music and videos purchased from iTunes onto my iPhone and iPad but I can only transfer from one account. Is there a way to share content with two different accounts or combine both accounts into one? Thanks for any help

You cannot merge two Apple IDs. You cannot share purchases with other Apple IDs although there is a temporary form of sharing.

You might wish to look up public previews of Yosemite coming out in fall, and iOS8 preview about family sharing.
