Apple IDs can't be merged.
Why not? They were able to merge my original account from AOL , so they should just do it now. Annoying
You are sure that you had two accounts merged ? It has never been possible for users to merge accounts
When iTunes first came out you could sign up with your AOL account info. Down the road they discontinued that service and I believe they converted my AOL account into an apple account. More important, Why can't we combine iTunes accounts? The machines work for us! so Apple should make it happen. I complain every couple of years about this.
The account was converted into an email address, it wasn't combined with another account.
All content that you download from iTunes is licensed to the account that downloaded it - to be able to potentially merge accounts all of the content providers would have to agree to it
Then why can't we change the email address? If some people used their ISP system for their email address and then set up another ISP, the first address would not be active any longer.
Who says you can't ? As long as it's not an Apple domain email address you can (obviously you can't change it to an address that is already an account) : Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
Actually, Apple does. In the article you gave me the link to. Those of us that have .mac, .me, or .icloud can't be changed. I think Apple is smarter than that.
As I said above, as long as it's not an Apple domain email address you can't change it. If you've created multiple accounts over the years and purchased content on them you will either have to continue to have multiple accounts, rebuy them on one of your other accounts, or potentially use family sharing
I have a similar situation, but in my case Apple actually split my account into two ID's, taking loads of my content (over 100 movies) and transferring it to a different ID so I can't access it any longer. I've tried family sharing, but it doesnot allow you to share two ID's that you individually own. I can't download all of the content (obviously all those movies etc.. are too big for most devices) and authorise multiple devices, and Apple have refused to help, even though they caused the problem.
Having seen them do this and ignore the issue, clearly they could do the same with iCloud files etc...so I have lost trust in them, going to have to move to another platform, sadly.
