How do I combine apple ID's? I have 2 or three different apple ID's that I would prefer to combine into one or delete the other ones.

You can't combine/merge Apple IDs. You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.

Family Sharing - Set up.       


If you want to delete an ID, all purchases made using an Apple ID are tied to the ID. Delete the ID and you will need to download them using your new ID. There have been posts by people who have contacted Apple Support and they were told that if you delete an ID associated with an email address, you can never reuse the email address for an Apple ID.   Make sure you sign out from the places in the 4th link before deleting the ID.
