Can I delete an Apple ID and then make it an alternate for another Apple ID?
I inadvertently created two Apple IDs, rather than adding an alternate email to one. I know there is no way to merge Apple IDs from other discussions, but if I delete the second Apple ID I created, can I then add that email address as an additional email address associated with the first Apple ID?
In other words, now I have these two Apple IDs:
[email protected]
[email protected]
What I'd like to do is delete the [email protected] Apple ID entirely; then edit [email protected] to make [email protected] an email address associated with that same user1 account. Will this work?
You can't delete the second(or any) Apple ID without contacting Apple. If desired, ask them.

can I delete my whole account and then reinstall it and get the music I have purchased back?

Apple IDs cannot be Deleted.
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

I'm trying to set up my iPad2. I am entering my Apple ID and get a message that says "try another apple id, this ID is already being used. The only time I've used this Apple ID (my emal) was when I purchased a mac for my college aged child.
Thank you...I had selected the incorrect option to create an Apple ID....so backing up a few pages and doing as you stated worked!

iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

Can you delete an iCloud account but then make a new account with the same password?
Me and my mum share the same iCloud account with her email address, but I can't make my own unless I delete my mum's account that I share with her. If I delete the account, will my mum be able to make a new account with the same password?
Thank you!Yes. You can use the same password for all your accounts (although it's less secure to do so). You just have to use a different Apple ID to set up a new account.

My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphoneYou need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item. -

I cannot delete a file from the documents folder. I can move it to the trash and then empty it, but when I go back to the documents folder, the file is still there.
Gay,
I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!
You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

My ipod has over 7,000 pictures and there are 5,00 i could easily delete but it wont let me do anything! it just has a loading symbol that converts into an apple logo and then back again. Ive tried pressing down the home and sleep/wake button down at the same time for 10 seconds. The apple logo does appear, but it goes back to the loading symbol or a white screen. Its been like this for 24 hours and is unresponsive. Please help.
- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

If it's not on your computer, you can still view it on the AppleTV under TV Shows - Purchased. It will stream from the cloud to your AppleTV.

I have a Mac 10.5.8 Dual. I cannot get any videos that I have stored to play. I have tried QT and then DL two out side players from apple site and then went to install and comp said can not be installed on this comp.
When Microsoft decided not to support Windows Media any more, they made Flip4Mac available for free. If you have not taken advantage of that free download, this might be a good time.
It may not completely solve the problem, but your Mac will play more with the free player. No need to pay for the Upgrades.
