Q: how to link old apple ID

I have about 4 different apple ID's, all with purchases from the itunes and app store. I want to transfere all of the purchases onto my current apple ID and close the others. How do I do this?

    Hello there Roberta-sadler,

     

    If I understand correctly you have multiple Apple IDs with purchases on them that you wish to consolidate to one. At this time, this is not something that can be done. Take a look at this info from the following article named:

     

    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support

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

     

    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 

    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud. 

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Cheers,

    Sterling
