How do I delete an Apple iD from my iPhone?

i used to share an iTunes account with my Dad, until recently. I got my own Apple iD. Everything has been working relatively well except for one thing. When I try to update apps, it still asks me for my Dad's iTunes password, instead of mine. I already tried entering my Dad's Apple iD in iCloud, and deleting his account from my phone, but every time i want to update an app, it still asks for his password!! Please help!

Hi margauxhapgood,
The reason it is asking for the password to your Dad's ID is because those apps were purchased under that ID. iTunes purchases are forever tied to the ID under which they were purchased. So, you have two options. Type in your Dad's password when you need to update those apps, or delete them from your device and re-purchase them under your own ID.
Cheers,

    If you mean that it has the 90 day association : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    then you can either wait for the 90 days to complete, or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    Hey Ravengirlaa,
    Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
    A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
    B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
    The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
    excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

  • How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can i delete an icloud account from my iphone

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone. I have two icloud accounts the old one just can not retrieve the pwd to access it

    If the old ID is your ID, and if your second ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

    How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

    King Penguin,
    Your response does not address the actual question.
    The issue is that once downloaded to a device (iPhone) etc. It cannot be deleted via any means. Went through troubleshooting with Apple on phone last night and they're puzzled by it... it's getting sent to their engineers.
    The larger issue is that the album downloads AUTOMATICALLY when you have your purchases synced, on wifi, and listening to music on full shuffle.
    Telling people to just "hide it" and change your phone's settings to not sync is a pretty big "whoopsie" by Apple and Apple Support Community members.
    BAD MOVE APPLE!

  • How can I delete all my music from my iPhone 4s

    How can I delete all the music from my iPhone?

    I finally went to Apple Care tech support (the best!) for help.
    Plug your phone into the computer.
    I-Tunes should open.
    Toward the top left of the page, click on the small I-Phone icon.
    Select Music in the sidebar.
    In the right window, your music should appear.
    De-select what you don't want, then click Sync.
    Voila.
    I am running Yosemite 10.1.1

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • TS3899 How can i delete multiple e-mails from my iphone 4S. There are indicated more than 1500 e., but when i open the file there is indicated: no e-mail.

    How can i delete multiple e.mails from my iPhone 4 S. ? It shows the presence of more than 1500 e-mails. But when I try to open the account it shows that there a no e-mails. So i cannot delete them.

    I would disconnect the email on your phone...
    And reconnect again and if it still does that go on an actual computer, log on and delete the mails with ease...
    Hope this helps..it may just need to be refreshed...
