Hi,

1 – I have an iTunes account under my hotmail email address, at some point Apple forced me to sign up for an iCloud account. I now have purchases under both accounts, can I amalgamate the two.

2 – I have just bought an iPhone 6 (thanks daffy). I currently own an iPhone 5c which is linked to my macmini, do I have to unlink the 5c first if that makes sense? I will use my iCloud email as I want it to all be under Apple’s “system”.

Thanks

1. You can link two iTunes accounts via the Cloud Family sharing option. Choose one phone to be the parent and one to be the child. You will be able to share iTunes purchases (movies, music, apps), contacts, calendar events and photostream. Doesn’t quite completely sync the phones/iTunes accounts, but is pretty close. I do this with my personal iPhone and my work iPhone.

2. No you don’t have to unlink the 5C. You can have more than one iPhone/device attached to the same iTunes account. You can attach your new phone to your iTunes email, it will then mirror your 5C (assuming its on the same iTunes account) then you can take your 5C off any time you like.

Thanks wobbliscott! 🙂
