  • HT5621 I've changed my AppleID because I had to change my email address. But I keep getting asked about my old AppleID because I can back up on iCloud with my new AID or the old one. How do I delete this old ID so I can use iCloud with my new ID

    As explained above, my system keeps asking me to fix my iCloud preferences for my old and new AppleID since it's not backing up my files. I don't have access to my old email address and don't have my password for my old AID. How can I delete this and correct my iCloud ID issues? Thanks in advance. By the way, the Apple support articles don't cover this problem in a way that allows me to fix it. This problem exists on my Mac desktop, my iPad, and my

    You may want to check, if you have changed all Apple services to use your new AppleID, just in case.

  • How can I delete a music file directly from iPhone? Or not possible?

    Can I delete a music file directly from iPhone?

    Not possible.
    Either unselect it during what it syncs, or manually manage > delete song.

  • When I click on an email with a particular attached photo, it freezes -how can I delete this particular email?

    Someone sent me a photo as an attachment. When I click on the email, TB freezes. I can't do anything. The first time she sent it, it went to a folder and I just deleted the folder, but she sent it again and it went into my inbox. How can I remove this email from my inbox? The minute I click on that email, TB freezes so I can't delete it. TB is still running when I check the processes.

    I could not do that. As soon as I clicked the message, TB froze so I could not right-click or anything. As it happens, I just tired selecting the email before it and the email after it and then deleted all 3 and that worked. Thanks so much for your suggestion though.

    Then update it to new email address. Creating a new AppleID is usually not a good thing as anything on your old account will not be transferred to your new account.
    See this -> Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    and I can't remember my password or security questions, argh.
    So reset them...

    Restoring it will not delete it.
    You need to turn it off (Settings > iCloud - Delete account then re-enable it with updated AppleID.
    This is the ONLY way you can do it.

  • How can I delete an old iCloud account for which I do not remember the password?  The email address linked to that account is no longer active.

    The email linked to that account is no longer active.  How can I delete this old account and use a new one?

    Although your profile says you're running iOS 5.1.1 it sounds like you're running iOS 7 (otherwise you would not need your password to delete the old account).  Assuming that's true, and your iCloud ID has changed but you need to delete the old account in order to change to your new one, 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 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.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPhone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

    Hi Shandra,
    You have to open iTunes -> click iTunes Store and login with the old email and then logout -> Now login with the new email that you want and connect your iPhone via USB to your computer and synchronize your iPhone with new email.
    I hope I've helped.

    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

    You cannot merge accounts.

  • Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi ale.vica,
    You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
    1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
    2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
    3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
    That should take care of your issue!
    Cheers,

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.
