How can I erased or disactivate my apple account

how can I erased or disactivate my apple account

Howdy Roger
     It would be a great resource to have a single User Tip with all relevant links & instructions regarding all aspects of AppleID, password, security, etc.,  in every possible circumstance EDIT (ala tt2's SITEMAP ) END. iCloud was not not specifically referenced in Kappy's Tip or King_P's reply though I did not follow all the links therein. I do not have the stature, or I would craft such a thing. An intuitive title that would show up readily in our snappy Active Search feature would be a good trick. Maybe Kappy would be interested since doing such a thing specific to "Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and Rescue Mail" and including a link to AppleID - he's very good at it. Maybe YOU ??

    "Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device."
    You only lose iCloud data from other devices if you manually delete the data. If you Erase all content and data, you keep iCloud data elsewhere.

  • How can I erase someone else's apple ID from y iphone

                      how can I erase someone elses apple id and password from my iphone?

    Hi achury,
    The easiest way to get a previous user's data cleared off of your phone is to go to Settings>General>Reset and click on Reset all Settings. Here is a link that will explain what that will do:

  • How can I set up a separate Apple account from my husband

    MMy husband and I set up a joint Apple account years ago. Can he keep that account in tact and can I create a separate one? If so how do I do that?

    Jeremy,
    Ten years ago I bought my wife an iPod and set up an iTunes account for her using my name based on the (erroneous) information given me by a salesperson that the name on the iPod and the name on the account had to match, and since I wanted to suprise her by setting it it with some preloaded things, I used my email address and my paypal account.  Fast forward 5000 apps later... I got tired of an email from iTunes for every purchase of every app, magazine, book, renewal ad infinitum, so I told her to log in to the only installed version of iTunes we had (on her computer) and to change the darn email to something else.
    The problem that ensued raised its ugly head when many years later, she got a new iPad Air 2 and an iPhone.  Those she set up with her email address, the very same email address she changed the apple id to in iTunes several years ago.  Recently she contacted support because she was not able to log in.  First of all her password was too short (10 years old, nice and easy to remember) and secondly, the date of birth and secret question answer to the original apple id were unknown to her, since they were my credentials, not hers.
    Both accounts were irretreveably linked in the most unimaginable ways, and the new password she created for herself on her new devices worked half the the time.
    By resetting my password and changing the secret question and removing the billing info (which was my wife's credit card, not mine) I am fairly sure that the two accounts are separate.
    The point of this is that it is essential to make sure the second account has NO items, including email addresses, secret questions etc. in common and I also suggest a separate credit card.
    Here is the wierdest thing thus far - I am sending this from her computer it has the iTunes installation.  Logging in to her apple id, I see every single purchase "I" ever made prior to June of this year, and if I sign out of her apple id and in as mine there are NO purchases at all.  They all were migrated over.  I did not do this nor did I request it, but all the apps etc. now remain on her account, my account has nothing and I do not use my account at all since I have another one I had to create for my employer issued phone. 
    What one should not ever do is change the email address on an apple id without realizing that the id is also an email address and the email addressed it was changed to cannot be used to create a new separate account without a major headache.  And many calls to apple.
    Hope this helps anyone trying to do this!

  • How can I erase burnfolders in the side-bar?

    How can I erase burnfolders in the side-bar?
                                                                       W.W.

    You can also try this.
    Go to your home folder>Library>Preferences - delete/trash the files labeled "com.apple.finder.plist" and "com.apple.sidebarlists.plist" and then restart your computer.  Empty the trash once you reach the desktop.  The untitled dvd folder & burn icon should now be gone from the Finder sidebar.
    In addition to removing preference files, if you don't want to use the sidebar for managing CDs and DVDs you can go to the Finder preferences and uncheck the option to show CDs, DVDs, and iPods in the sidebar to prevent them from appearing there in the first place.

  • HT201441 if the employee has been terminated and I need to reuse the phone and have no ability to contact them, how can I erase the phone?

    if the employee has been terminated and I need to reuse the phone and have no ability to contact them, how can I erase the phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    I'm not exactly sure what procedures are in place for such events but Apple can assist in such cases, but it may take a while and you may need to provide proof of purchase and other corporate documents.
    For future reference your best tactic might be to use Apple Configurator to set up all your companies devices. You can set the password for 'Find my Phone' to be identical for all your devices, whilst allowing the user to use their own password for the remainder of the iCloud services.

    You will need data recovery software. See this post:
