Missing Merge function

Hello, I need to somehow connect this faces together (photo), but the edges are declining it. I found on internet function called "Merge", under Surface -> Modify, but I don't have this option even here! 
Is my version out-dated? I have 2.0.1505. 
Is here any other way to connect this faces together? 
Thanks!

Hi,

1. I recognise solids in the screenshot, not surfaces.

please share the file for investigation.

If what you are showing in the screenshot is one contiguous solid body, there is not need to merge faces and frankly from a technical standpoint also doesn't make any sense. The curved top face is a 3-degree NURBS surface and the flat sides  are 1-degree NURBS surfaces. Both of those are likely also trimmed surfaces. That cannot just be merged.

100% agree with what @TrippyLighting and @g-andresen said here.  One more point:  Merge Faces is not available in a parametric design, only in a Direct Modeling design.  That's why you don't see it here.

Well guys, sorry for my beginner's experience. I am making a case for earphones, but this is my 1st 3D model and really struggling with making it. Can u somehow help me with the connection of the body with the circle? I tried using solid loft command, but I can't select whole body, only the faces, which are separated by edges.

It needs to look something like this, the white body without the metal end.
