[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1865112, member: 396914"] Actually it's not possible. Apple won't/can't merge AppleID accounts and you cannot change anything but the password once the ID is established. You can abandon one and just use the other, but then you lose whatever was on the old one and have to re-purchase anything you might need. Sync between his Mac and iPhone won't happen if they have separate AppleIDs, either. So he is in a tough spot from which to recover. All solutions are "ugly." I ended up with two AppleID accounts way back when. The only solution was for me to abandon one, delete all apps purchased with that account, then repurchase what I wanted from that one and reinstall it on my Mac/iPhone (wherever it was previously installed) under the AppleID I kept. Maybe today "Family Sharing" can sort out some of the issues, but it won't solve the sync issue. [/QUOTE]
