My relatively nontechnical parents have no fewer than 5 AppleIDs, due to various fuckups like iCloud creating them new accounts, email changes etc. The most annoying situation I've ran into dealing with these headaches was when the (then new iCloud) automatically enabled itself, and somehow resulted in a new account being created, and the old one getting mysteriously "masked" (it was somehow associated to the same email), and unable to be logged into (took a call to apple support to fix this). Apps associated with the different accounts cannot be updated while logged into a different account, nor music etc. This results in them having to sign into no fewer than 3 different accounts just to update everything on their idevices. Its a complete and utter mess, and apple support has zero ability to merge accounts, or move purchases around. Why cant they do better.
