Delete Apple Alternate ID

When my wife first got her iPhone a few years back we thought it would be a good idea to use one Apple ID.  I already had an Apple ID that I used with iTunes, so we created an Apple Alternate ID with her name as an email address.  Shortly after that we realized what a dumb idea that was and created her own Apple ID.
Now I want to synch iCloud with Outlook but for whatever reason it always wants to use the alternate ID - her email address.  My primary Apple ID is my Yahoo email address.  I really want to use iCloud with Outlook but don't want to use her email address.  Can anyone tell me how to either delete my Alternate ID, or use iCloud with Outlook - with my primary ID, which happens to be a Yahoo email address?
Thanks in advance,
Andre

Hi andre,
Here is a screenshot of my Manage your Apple ID. I have put two arrows on it with the Apple ID and the Alternate Email address pointed out:

  • How do I delete an alternate Apple ID?

    I logged into the Manage my Apple ID page on the Apple site and I see several email addresses associated with my Apple ID.  I also see an "alternate apple ID" and while I am able to delete or edit the email addresses, I am not able to edit or delete the alternate Apple ID.  How can I do this? 

    You are probably right, (Csound1) I'm over thinking.
    But so far seems Imp68, is right, you cannot change it.
    I have a University degree in COmputer science, and sometime I make it too complex, being a PC guy new to Mac world.
    So how do you disconnect the I-Cloud account? I tried to create a new one, but seems I would also have to create a new Apple ID as well.
    Is there something doable to transfer the i-tune purchases and I-cloud space paid fees for the year?
    Seems to be killing a mosquito with a hammer, but may be you are right, this is as simple as that...

  • How to delete the Alternate Apple-ID?

    I want to delete my Alternate Apple-ID because of not using this E-Mail Address anymore.
    How to do this? It got imported when I created an iCloud Account years ago, now I want to create a new iCloud Account.

    Not sure what you mean by alternate Apple ID, but you can't delete an Apple ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
    If you mean you want to delete and alternate email address from your iCloud ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, then in the "Name, ID and Email Preferences" section, click "Delete" next to the alternate email address you want to delete.

  • HT201356 I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist?

    I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist.
    I have alternate icloud email attached to my iPad and I accidentally delete it from appleid.apple.com. And now I can't log out that iCloud account because it doesn't exist and it can't recognize my password.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • TS3704 Trying to delete I Tunes because of missing MSVCR80.dll followed instructions from Apple to delete - Apple Mobile Device support keeps coming up its being used I have gone to program files deleted what I can from folder but left with 3 files

    I have been getting the MSVCR80.dll missing message.
    Been on the Apple site and following instruction.
    Going down the list has instructed I have Deleted I Tunes.
    Deleted Apple Software Update
    But when I try to delete Apple Mobile device it wouldn't delete so went into program files has the instructions say by going to Program Files\common Files\Apple\Apple Mobile Device Support Folder.
    It still wouldn't delete saying it was being used. 
    I opened the file and highlighted all the folders and pressed delete, most of them have disapeared into my recycle bin but the folder still holds AppleMobileService, AppleMobileDeviceService_main.dll and MobileDevice.dll. 
    Message when I right click the first file is AppleMobileService I am told this action can't be completed because file is open in Apple Mobile Device. Close and Try again. 
    When I click the next file AppleMobileDeviceService_main dll it says  It comes up with This action cannot be completed and File description Apple Mobile Device Service. Company Apple Inc. File Version 17.323.0.9 Date Created 7/9/2013. Try again...... and finally  MobileDevice.dll come up with same message but file version 710.0.0.4 Date Created 7/9/2013 Size 902KB Both say Try Again but the same thing just recurred.
    I have left my lap top on hoping that I a swift reply.
    I am certainly no computer wizard and simply trying to follow the instructions to get rid of the box which keep coming up everytime I switch the lap top on saying APS Daemon.exe-System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.  I had looked at the internet and there appears to be warnings not to click on the button.
    I have had an apdate from Apple for the I Tunes but it wouldn't update. I thought that may have sorted it so whilst I had a few hours I thought I would go through the process that is advised on Apple's website. 
    I hope I have not ruined my computer. I haven't even tried deleting Bonjour or Apple Application Support (I Tunes 9 or later) has these are supposed to come after the step I am on.
    Please HELP!!!!!

    Sorry I missed your post. Anyone else with the same issue should find useful resources at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • How can I delete Apple ID from my old phone that it is not with me?

    How can I delete Apple ID from my old phone?

    You cannot delete Apple ID. You can change the password so the Apple ID without the correct password will be useless for others.
    If you still have the old iPhone:
    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    If device is registered: Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.

  • Trouble deleting Apple e-mail after installing Snow Leopard

    Hi , Is anyone having problems deleting Apple News e-mail? I spent 45 min. the other day with a Tech and thought we had the problem taken care of. Prior to turning off my computer this mail appeared to be erased-that is it did not show up when I returned to the "trash" after going on Safari or Facebook, etc. However, when I shut down and came back later the previously trashed mail returned in both the trash and the inbox. Help please.

    HI,
    From the Mac Mail Menu Bar, cick Mailbox/Rebuild. This can take several minutes to run. Hopefully that will take care of the glitch.
    If not, Quit Mail then go here ~/Library/Preferences and move this file to the Desktop.
    com.apple.mail.plist
    Launch Mail and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't then that .plist file is corrupted. Move it to the Trash. The next time you launch the Mac Mail application, your Mac OS will create a new .plist file for you.
