I have multiple devices and multiple Apple ID's

Hi,

I wonder if any one can help, I am trying to get all my devices under one account however I cannot remember the other log in details for the other accounts. I was wondering whether there was a way to get this sorted so that I can then use all the devices on one account rather than others. My second issue is that I have had some one else's music on my iTunes of which I do not know how it got there as I never signed in with another account on my Mac (its happened on both iMac and MB Air). Is there a way to completely remove all other id's associated, so that it only picks up my music from my Accounts? I have been told I cannot merge two accounts together, I have memory issues and have only just remembered about the other accounts I have. if only there was a way to get all the music onto one account.

I have MB Air, iMac, iPhone 5s and iPad Mini

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

You can't merge accounts, nor can you transfer content between accounts - all downloads will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

If you can't remember the ids for the other accounts then if you have any of their downloads in your Macs iTunes libraries then you should be able to get their ids from them : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name

Or you can try getting your ids via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID

You can get an account's password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com

For the account that isn't yours, then I'm no aware of an easy way to remove them from your iTunes library - presumably you don't know that account's password, if you did then you could deauthorise the account which would stop your iTunes being able to play them.
