How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another.  You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID.

  • How can I delete my first apple ID it interferes with apps I want to buy using my iCloud id

    I recently had my macbook pro worked on at apple, with great success.  I was told I would be able to delete my first apple ID which is a me.com account
    I now use I cloud and want the other to go away for good..  But it isn't as they said it would.  It interferes with purchases on my I-phone and I don't even remember the password.  Is it possible to delete it ? if so How ???

    You cannot delete an Apple ID. You can just stop using it. You should change the iCloud Apple ID address you now are using in the device to the new one you wish to use. I suggest you tab Settings > General > Reset > Settings, then reconfigure your phone this time using your new Apple ID.

  • I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active,  How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

    I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address.  How do I change it to my new email address?  The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account.  The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating.  What do I do?

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not.  All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID.  This can't be changed.  The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

    I suggest changing the existing ID rather than creating a new one, all purchases are forever linked to the ID that bought and can never be transferred, you can change all detauils about your ID here:

  • HT5621 How do I get my old apple id back to update apps ?

    I Reset my appleID on my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 now if I try to update my apps it still gives the previous appleID therefore I'm being prompted to update with original appleID but its not letting me update saying using incorrect appleID or password . What do I do to get back on track ? I'm kind of illiterate to the apple PC world can anyone help in common language ?

    If you updated your existing account with a new email address then try logging out of your account on the phone and iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Store on the iPad if it's on iOS 5) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on them.

    You can delete an existing account from your device and create a new one and start using it. But I'm not sure what you mean by transfer.

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID one my IPAD

    How do you delete an old Apple ID Password on my IPAD #1 and replace it with a new apple ID?

    AnaMusic and King Penquin, this is the first such inquiry I have made for Apple help. I appreciate the help. You folks are very nice. I now have my I phone where it will not let me log in to use it as I upgraded to the latest version of the operating system tonight. That was a mistake on my part.
    Thanks very much.

  • How to delete the old Apple ID to prevent continuing access it when updating Apps if I have changed the Apple ID in my iPad and iPhone?

    I have changed my Apple ID in my iPhone 4S and iPad, but when I update my Adds on them, they prompt me to enter the old Apple ID and password.  I have already created the new Apple ID.  How can I delete the old Apple ID on them?

    If you created a new id instead of updating the old one then any apps etc that you bought/downloaded with the old id will still be tied to that old id, and they can't be copied or transferred to a new one - so only that old id can download updates to its apps.
    If you updated the old id then try logging out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
