How do i delete an Apple id after my old ipod touch 1G was stolen

Having problem after my ipod touch got pinched from my mates car. He left it open by the beach duh!
So now someone else knows my ID - it is floating about somewhere in the settings and acount info on my old device right?
Can I swop that old Apple ID which was a @Yahoo account and get Apple to just allow me to sign in under my icloud.com address only?
Feeling quite gutted about losing the ipod but more so about the ID security issue.
Can anyone help with what maybe a dunce's question?
Its just I tried tinkering with the Account settings like this:
Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same.
Your Apple ID will be easier to remember, and your account will be easier to access and manage.
Change your Apple ID and primary email address to:
But it never takes effect. So how can I stop Apple allowing anyone access to my account by using this email to log in?
I'll take my chances with remembering a new email address - so long as its not on the ipod that got lost I dont mind.
PS: there was no email account setting on the ipod touch as I just used it for music/video storage only

If I read you correctly, your main reason for wanting to take action is so that whoever stole your iPhone will not know your Apple ID.
To my knowledge, there's no way to log out of your Apple ID on your iPhone, seeing as it's stolen. You may as well erase your iPhone, since it's lost anyways. To do that, go to icloud.com and then Find My iPhone. You can find your iPhone and erase it from there.

How do i delete an apple id account from an ipod touch?

I have an ipad and iphone. My son has an ipod touch. My son entered his icloud with my apple id and he needs his own otherwise we are getting each others imessages and contacts. How do I separate?
I DID go to ICloud settings and DELETE the account but then when I went back in, it came right back.

He needs to set up his own Apple ID. He will need to reset his iPod Touch in order to reconfigure it for his Apple ID.
Either he needs to do this on his own computer or you need to create a separate user account for him on your computer.
Apple IDs cannot be deleted. They can be edited or abandoned.

How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch?

How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch? For instance: I don't want the app "Stocks" to appear on my screen any more. Is there a way to delete/hide it?

The built in Apps can't be deleted, but they can be moved to an unused screen. You could create a folder of all unused Apps and move it.

How do I delete unwanted built in apps from my ipod touch ios 5.1.1

How do I delete unwanted built in apps from my iPod Touch, ios 5.1.1? I want to conserve memory on my device.

Well, you can't delete them totally...but you could stop using them or reset them. Just erase everything you use in those apps. You could also block them using parental controls, this will take them off your home screen but no, you cannot completely delete these apps.
Hope this helps you

How do I remove my personal information from my old iPod touch?

Hello everyone. I am looking at buying a fifth generation iPod Touch and my father gave me the idea of giving him my third generation iPod Touch. How do I go about removing my personal data, including my Apple ID from the device? When I get the new iPod, I want to have my existing Apple ID set up on the new device. Will my father be able to add an Apple ID to my third generation iPod Touch once he has created his own Apple account?

New iPhone - Enabling Sync Apps Help after having an old iPod Touch that was overloaded

I had an iPod Touch and it was overloaded with apps. So when I got the new iPhone I decided to start fresh and didn't sync it with iTunes immediately. I have about 50 apps on my iPhone that I actually want, and there are atleast 200 others on my iTunes that I don't want or need. When I plug in my iPhone and go to the apps tab on my iPhone, the sync apps isn't checked. If I check it it deletes all my apps on the preview window on the right, and none of the apps are checked. So I deleted all the apps on my computer and transfered purchases so i only had the ones that are on my iPhone. Now when I check sync apps, if i check all the apps, they are not in the right spots. I can move them later, but my real concern is whether or not it will delete anything I have done in the app like game progress. Any help would be great. Thanks

How can I find my ipod touch that was stolen

If you enabled Location Services and "find my iPod" in Settings > General, and the iPod Touch is turned on and in range of a wireless network with a known location, and the thief did not restore it, then its location can be seen in iCloud. How you get it back is for you to determine. Solicit the help of able bodied and sufficiently large friends.

How can I delete my Apple account

Par for the course with so many companies - "Delete My Account" is virtually impossible to find. How can I delete my Apple account? I don't want yet another account that people can hack and buy stuff fraudulently. Thanks. But really, these companies should be forced to let people know how they can delete accounts if&when they want to.

I wholeheartedly agree. It seems rather pedestrian given that *supposedly* lesser sites/brands allow 'opting out gracefully' at any time - most with the ability to scrub everything clean and start again.
It's annoying enough that Apple fail to contribute much practical help here, but to obfuscate the fact it's also impossible to leave is rather unbecoming to say the least - just see the number of questions on account deletion etc.
So in short then: spending 1000s of $£¥€ or whatever on the 'best tech' on the planet and still no ability to do a basic account closure (or even a trace of Blu-Ray support even)...
Nevermind. Clearly Apple feel that life in "The Village" is just so great that who in their right mind would want to go.
Now repeat after me: "YOU ARE NOT A PERSON - YOU ARE NUMBER SIX!!"
P.S. I wonder what the UK ICO would have to say about this?

How do I delete and Apple ID ? I had a friend transfer all my stuff from one phone to another using his computer. I can't update or download apps, his ID pops up and asks for his password instead of mine! Ugh so frustrated right now!

You can't delete an Apple ID. Furthermore, everything you transferred is tied permanently to your friend's Apple ID. You do not legally own that software. If you want that software for yourself, then you need to purchase it using your Apple ID.
