Hi Chuck,
If you are occasionally prompted for your previous Apple ID, you may find the following article helpful:

Hi! I sold my Iphone on ebay. The seller wants to connect the Iphone with his Apple ID, but it did not work because it says that the Iphone is already connected with another Apple ID. How can I get rid of this old connection? What do I have to do?

I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my contacts instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account. How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app. I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity). I wish I could start over!!! thanks.
iPadI could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts. I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there. When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies. You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though. Good luck! -
TS3899 How can I get rid of a wrong email count on inbox?
I have set up my BT email account in settings, and it works fine. Except that although the inbox if empty there's a constant icon on the home screen showing 13 emails in the box. I can't get rid of this, even though I have set up the email twice now. What's going on and how can I get rid of the score when the box is empty? It just counts up from 13. (ipad mini)
Thanks.
I tried that, waited for the Apple to appear. But when the home screen appeared - just the same. So I deleted the account (bt internet). Re-set as before. Then set up the account again. still have 13 emails showing and nothing in the in box. Annoying. I think this is because I delete some (13?) emails from the online access to the inbox (on a laptop) but it's out of synch with the ipad. Neither account has any emails but the ipad thinks it's got 13 I have deleted. But they are not there!!!
Thanks anyway. -
I have this bookmark icon down low near the trash can in Ubuntu 11.04. How can I get rid of it?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When I try to buy or update apps, myipad asks me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID, which prevents me from buying/updating apps. But when I am buying songs on itunes, the ipad asks me for my password using MY OWN apple ID and everything works fine. HOW DO I GET MY IPAD TO REQUEST MY PASSWORD USING MY OWN apple ID WHEN I AM BUYING OR UPDATING APPS?
The apps you are trying to update were purchased with (and therfore permanently linked to) someone elses Apple ID. If you do not know the password then you need to delete the app and redownload/purchase it with your Apple ID.

I have an old email that I can't get rid of. Every time I try to install app updates it asks for my password (which I don't remember, and I don't have that email to receive anything). I have gone to settings in icloud and I only have my updated info. Help! I can't even play some of the games without doing an update.
Hi THIVELY,
Since applications from the app store are linked to the Apple ID - in this case your old email - used to purchase or obtain them, you will need to have the password to that Apple ID in order to update those apps. This article will tell you how to reset that password so you can continue to use that Apple ID -
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

How can I get Mail to 'forget' old email addresses?
Several work contacts have recently changed their email addresses, but when I type their names in the To: box in Mail, it brings up both the new and old addresses.
None of these email addresses are in my Address Book, Mail is obviously just picking them up from previous emails I have sent and received to/from these people.
How can I get Mail to 'forget' these old email addresses and just bring up the current ones?
(I have already accidentally sent emails to the old addresses because they are coming up in the drop-down menu. I would much prefer it to be idiot-proof and not bring the out of date addresses up at all) -
I have a google account that I use mostly for the calendar. Occasionally I'm taken to the log in page (my time has expired, or someone else has logged in on my computer to their google account). On the log in page, the email address that Firefox remembers is an email address that I have not used in over a year (although it was the first email I used when I opened my google account). I have deleted that email address within google; I have cleared ALL my cookies and my entire cache numerous times and no matter -- the old email address is what Firefox remembers when I log in new.

I would like to eliminate the old version completely, as it comes up automatically and I don't see a way of deleting it from the mac.
I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

How can I get rid of an old iphone account as blocking all my streaming
I keep getting an old iphone account id popping up and asking me for passwork to access apple, I have registered a new id but cant seem to use it as the old one won't disappear, any ideas?
Thanks for the help, I have changed all my icloud, itunes and Apple to a new account name, but its just that when the phone 4s, asks to sign in it doesn't give me the option of choosing which account I want to sigh into, it just brings up my old account name. I'm thinking I may have to visit and Apple shop.

I have 2 Pages icons. How can I get rid of the old one?*
I can't gey it out of launchpad. It won't go in the trash. It's confusing to have 2 icons.
Hi rointhestudy,
I understand you have duplicate icons of the Pages application in Launchpad. Here is some more information:
OS X Lion: About duplicate icons in Launchpad
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4836
Launchpad will display an icon for each copy of an application that is currently installed (as well as any aliases to those applications), so you will see more than one icon for an application if you have more than one version of the application installed or aliased.
It sounds like we want to remove the duplicate from your computer:
OS X Mountain Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11356
To uninstall apps you purchased from the Mac App Store, hold down an app’s icon in Launchpad until all the icons begin to jiggle. Click an app’s delete button (x) to uninstall the app.
If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, that app can’t be uninstalled. For example, apps that come with OS X can’t be uninstalled.
Thanks,

How can I get rid of adverts which are blocking all apps, even apple ones?
My grandmother is a fan of Words With Friends but recently an extremely intrusive BMW advert has appeared which cannot be closed and which takes up most of the screen. It has also started appearing in other apps when it shouldn't, including apple's own App Store. We have tried clearing the multitasking tray and have re-started it multiple times to no avail. We even deleted the offending app and yet the advert still remains on the App store.
Since I can only communicate via phone, I can't determine which iOS version she is using as she cannot understand my instructions on how to find it. However, I am confident it is NOT iOS 7.
Is there any way to solve this problem? Ideally, it needs to be easy enough to explain to someone who is not particularly "technologically gifted".Contact Zynga games at http://investor.zynga.com/contactus.cfm. No pop up add should not have an exit option, but this one is the exception. Alternatively, pay for the app (it's not expensive). The only other way is to reset your device, which is frustrating but the only way I have found to terminate the BMW ad. sorry I can't be more help.

My iPhone 5 was distroyed so I replaced it with a new iPhone 5 yesterday. I did a restore from a backup that i had performed a week ago. When I tried to use the phone several of my apps would not let me in becuase they continually gave me a popup message "Connect to Itunes to use push notifications". I click ok and the popup comes back. I have shut my phone off several times. I have complete closed the apps several times. I have even deleted the apps from my phone and reinstalled. All to no avail. Please help - does anyone know how to fix this?
Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

How can I get rid of iOS 7?
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.
