You cannot combine Apple IDs nor transfer items downloaded with one AppleID to another

AppleID.


Possible solutions:


1] Continue with multiple AppleIDs, but you will have the same problems as now.

2] Decide on one AppleID, delete items downloaded with the other ID and redownload

with your chosen ID. Any paid for items will have to be repurchased.


3] Some in your situation have reported limited success using family sharing. You can

Do you have any content associated with the new ID? Did you download any paid apps or music/movies with your new ID? If not, then you can simply wipe your device, set it up as new with your old ID and start over.


read through this and pretend you're selling your device

If you do have content then you may wish to contact Apple and see if there's anything they can do for you
