I have two Apple ID, can I change them without loosing my purchases?

I have two apple ids. One in the cloud .me.com another is used for all my purchases in ITunes. This acc will no longer be in use in a months time. Can I change this id to my me.com account or a @gmail.com email without losing all of my music, history. I am concerned I will lose all my music etc.

For the account used for your purchases, you can change your Apple ID email address on your current Apple ID so you retain access to your data and prior purchases. Note the restrictions in the article.


Apple ID Name Change.  * 


Make sure you turn off Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
