How do I delete an old email address that keeps coming up and keeping me from upgrading my apps?
I have a new computer and a new email address. I also have an iPod touch and now when I want to upgrade apps or purchase a new app the old instead of the new email address comes up and askes me the password for it. It is already discontinued and I can't get rid of it. I haven't been able to upgrade my apps since the new email address. Can someone help? Please?
Settings > Store > Apple ID > Sign Out. Sign in with the correct credentials.
If that does not work, then chances are you bought the apps using an old Apple ID, and if this is the case, that is the ONLY ID that can be used to update the apps.

How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple ID? When trying to login on to my Apple account with my ipad2 the old email account is still tagged as the primary account.
OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in? -

Stop using the old one and start using the new one. Notify all your friends, family, etc. of the change in email address.

How can I delete an old email address from autofill?
I have an old, (email address that is not in my address book) that is constantly showing up in my autofill when I want to send an email and it is driving me nuts. I've tried restoring my phone; clearing prevous receipents list. Can anyone please help??????
The only way to erase this data is to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes, NOT from backup. All data on your phone will be erased, including these email addresses. Follow this by syncing your iTunes content & other data back to your phone. You have to decide if it's worth going through this or just living with it.

How do delete all my email addresses such as hotmail,outlook and use iCloud address as new email and install on my Pad?
First, have you considered the case where new emails are sent to you at the addresses whose accounts you want to remove from the mail client? By removing the accounts, you will accumulate emails but will never see them - is that okay?
Settings>Mail,Contacts<Calendars, in the Accounts section, tap an account, like hotmail, and on the new screen, tap Delete Account.
In the Accounts section, tap Add Account... to add the icloud email account. -

How do I delete an iCloud email address that was created under my Apple ID?
I have an Apple ID that is used mostly for iTunes. My son has an iPod Touch and wanted to create an iCloud email address to use on his iPod. We created an iCloud email address through my Apple ID, not realizing that now, every time he sends an email, it arrives "from" my name, not his, as the address is attached to my Apple ID and therefore through my account information. We would like to delete his iCloud email address completely so he can open his own personal Apple ID and recreate his iCloud email address through his own new Apple account. We deleted the account from his iPod and also deleted it as a second email address on my AppleID account information. Yet, despite all this, the email address seems to remain attached to my account. Apple Support website and iCloud support did not give us any ideas. Help!
PS:
since I posted this question (above), I have read many other questions posted and it seems I am not alone. Seems Apple will not allow people to delete an iCloud email address completely from existence! You can delete it from devices but not from the Apple ID account. What a disappointment, really. In my opinion, the "user-friendly" Apple is really frustrating people who simply want to be able to manage their email addresses for various, valid reasons. Email addresses that have been created should be allowed to be deleted by the creator! Other email services allow this!
One idea I have that may help others in my situation: Rather than delete my son's iCloud email address from my Apple ID account, so that his emails come from HIS name not MINE, I might try to just change the name on my AppleID account from mine to his. He can create a new password too. Then, in the future, if I want to recreate my own Apple ID, I will. -
My email provider has changed and I have a new one.
I amended this on my computer under my Apple iTunes account without any difficulty and it was authenticated. However, I still have the original email appearing on my iphone 4s and ipad2 and I cannot update that information. Neither can I use my usual password to update my Apps. Please can anyone assist me with simple instructions on how to change these important passwords? Thankyou in anticipation for reading and hopefully considering a solution.Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to 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.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -

I deleted an old email address from my iphone5 and one of my notes from notepad disappeared. How do I get it back?
Hi, MissLouie.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Some email accounts allow for note syncing. I would recommend adding the email account back to the device and turn note syncing on.

my HP 4480 uses my old email address to send scan to email.I need to delete the old email address and install my new one
des7931,
You should be able to go to your software on your computer and click on the >Scanner Actions section.
Then click on>Scan to E-Mail Wizard
This should bring up a screen to edit, change, or delete the stored email addresses for scan to email.
Let us know if you don't see this or still have problems.
