How can i change delete old Apple ID on my iphone, i dont know the password
i change the Apple ID using my PC. My new Apple ID was verified both email and password. My Ipad air sync to the new Apple ID but my iphone wont sync. And everytime i try to change my Apple ID on my iphone it ask for password of the old Apple ID, but it keep saying incorrect ID and password. I cant delete or change because i dont know the password.
You need to reset the password for the old Apple ID.

FYI - all apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. Not possible to merge or transfer apps downloaded with one Apple ID to another.
This means in order to install an app update with an app that was downloaded with your old Apple ID, you will need to use that Apple ID and password.

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -
How can I change my email address for iCloud if I don't have the password to my old email?
How do I change my email for icloud without knowing the password for my old email address?
David, I have a similar issue but I am still running into a road block. I have had an account with apple for email since before 2005 and it was perfect for that moment in life. I used my name to set up as my appleID. [email protected] It has now since been year and years later. I am married and have my own business. I would like my new apple email to be nonnaiandd.icloud.com. When going to set up a new apple ID as you suggested. It asks for a valid email address as the apple ID. Well, my valid email address is my icloud account ([email protected]) This email is what would be my primary email in the account. I want a new apple ID and new email. How do I proceed? When I do a new apple Id is still needs an email.. I'm frustrated. What to do. I wish I could simply change my account's apple ID and email to match to the new [email protected] Help. Thank you.

I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one
You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:

or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.

Please help I am having the hardest time trying to get all my songs on to one account to make my life easier, but my Ipod is registered under an old apple account and I want to change it so all my old songs go onto my new apple ID. Any suggestions, please help?
Sorry meffie, you cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. Are the songs under the old ID all purchased via iTunes?
If so, then sign onto the iTunes on the computer with your old ID and Authorize the computer for that Apple ID: Store on the top menu, then click on Authorize This Computer.
Once it is Authorized, you can then go to the iTunes Store and under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased. Then click on Music, Songs, Not In this Library, and you should be able to see all of your purchased music, which you can download to your iTunes library individually by clicking on the cloud next to the song, or you can click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of the tunes.
Cheers,

How can i get an ex boyfriends icloud of my phone i dont have the password
Remove an ex's icloud off my iphone6 with no passwordl
It depends on what he setup…
If he added Find my iPhone you need him to enter the password to remove it from the account, he can track & erase the device via that. It will remain on that account after a factory reset too (it's an anti theft tool).
If he simply used iCloud for the app store or iTunes the account should not be 'locked' to the device, you can perform a factory reset to delete all data & remove the account. You lose the everything & need to reinstall & setup all the apps you use.
Settings > iCloud should show which features are active. -
Can't get rid of my first Apple ID, it comes automatically when I need to actualize my Apps. I did all the necessary steps in iTunes Store and for all the new Apps it's ok, but for my first Apps always comes the old one and the remark that my Apple ID or password are incorrect
That's up to you. Apps are tied to the ID so you will only be able to use apps purchased to a specific ID when logged in as that ID.

HT201342 how CAN I CHANGE MY "Alternate Apple ID"
how CAN I CHANGE MY "Alternate Apple ID"?
You are evidently both using the same iCloud account, so inevitably you share all the data. iCloud was never designed for mulpitple users. You can't separate [email protected] from [email protected] - they are effectively the same address.
If you want to keep your email separate from your wife's you are going to have to open a completely separate iCloud account; however you won't be able to move your @icloud.com address to it, so it's a choice between changing your email address and putting up with the existing sharing.
Changing your email address is a bit of a hassle as you have to email all your contacts and ask them to use the new one, but this happens quite a lot and most people are used to seeing this. You could also set up a Rule on your wife's iCloud account to forward anything addressed to [email protected] to your new address, so that you would still catch mail from people who hadn't updated and ask them to.
(To set up a Rule go to http://icloud.com and on the Mail page click the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'.) -
