I'm one of those people with two Apple IDs that I'll never be able to merge. One is my original iTunes account which has all my media purchases. The other is my iCloud account. The ordeal for merging them if you wanted to do it manually is this: https://www.brianstucki.com/blog/how-to-manually-merge-two-apple-ids-to-one/ https://www.brianstucki.com/blog/how-to-manually-merge-two-a... I don't know how many folks are in this situation, but obviously not enough for Apple to care about offering a solution.

Yep. I am in this situation too. It's absolutely brutal. I've been slowly turning on more iCloud services, but am in a weird state where my media and purchases use my "preferred" iCloud account (name@gmail.com), while all of the other native iCloud services use my name@me.com account... which I can't figure out how to change to name@gamil.com. I'm surprised there aren't more people who are in this situation. I got into this mess because Mobile Me required me to have a different account than my iTunes account (name@me.com), and then that eventually became iCloud, while app purchases and everything else stayed with my iTunes account. I'd love to merge them, and I have absolutely no idea how to. I don't even think this guide that you linked to helps me much, to be honest. I'd be too afraid to lose something.

Believe it or not, they can merge them. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is find the support engineer who knows that.

  Wait, what? How. I have two Apple IDs and I'd desperately love to merge them.

  How? I have one account which all of my apps and media are associated, and the other which is my icloud account, so email, backups, etc etc. I would love to consolidate them
