How to deal with two Apple IDs, well, kind of<article>

Reader Dave Smith, a newish Apple user, is confounded by Apple ID. He writes:</p>
Not being an Apple person I didn’t understand the whys and wherefores of an Apple ID when I bought my first devices. As a result, I have two Apple IDs. One I use for my iPods and iPhone and the other for my iPad. This causes me some grief over time as I sometimes have plugged one in for syncing when the other profile was in place. I’d like to get rid of one and consolidate. Is there any way to do this?

You were doing so well up until you mentioned “consolidate.” And there’s the rub. Apple does not allow you to consolidate two Apple IDs. A couple of years ago there was some talk of this as an upcoming feature, but it didn’t materialize. Rather, Apple embarked on its
Family Sharing effort, which isn’t the same thing.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2879576/how-to-deal-with-two-apple-ids.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
