How to combine (combine button not available)?

I created a 3-D ellipsoid that I split in 2 (front and back), translated the back part and then added a cylindrical (with elliptic cross-section) part in between the front and back parts. Now I want to combine the 3 of them but the combine button is not available? I also noticed that my parts do not appear as solid body?
