How do I delete my Apple ID from the settings/iTunes

I bought a new iPhone and am trying to delete all personal data from my old 4S.  However, I can't find any way to delete my Apple ID that appears on the line in Settings/iTunes & App Store.  The internet shows a dialog box to Create a New ID, but I don't get that option.  No matter what I change, the ID continues to appear as soon as I enter that screen.  How can I delete my ID so it doesn't go along with the phone when I give it away?

First, make sure to disable the 'Find My iPhone' option in iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone). And then, you can tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. It's pretty simple and easy. If you need to know more details about what to do before giving your iPhone away, please read: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    How do I delete all my information from the I-Cloud?

    Greetings austinfromdellslow,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to store your purchases movies on an external hard drive. To do this, first you will need to download your purchased content from the cloud to the iTunes library on your computer. 
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Once your media folder is complete with the downloaded content, you can move that iTunes media folder to your external hard drive using the information in the attached article below.

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

  • How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

    How do you delete a VIP mailbox from the mail app?

    From Mail help:
    Make a sender a VIP
    To keep track of messages you receive from especially important people, make them VIPs in Mail. You can have up to 100 VIPs.
    To make someone a VIP, move the pointer to the left of the sender’s name in the message header and click the star that appears. You can also move the pointer over the sender’s email address, click the arrow that appears, and choose “Add to VIPs” from the pop-up menu.A mailbox for the VIP is added to the Favorites bar. For example, if you make Dad a VIP sender, his messages are displayed in a VIP mailbox titled Dad.
    To remove VIP status from a sender, click the VIP’s star in a message. The star is removed and the sender’s VIP mailbox is removed from the Favorites bar.
    If a VIP has several email addresses in Contacts, messages from any of those addresses will appear in the VIP’s mailbox.
    If you use iCloud Contacts, your VIPs are available on your other Mac computers that use iCloud Contacts and have OS X Mountain Lion installed.
    So to remove a VIP mailbox, you would have to remove all its people, and then exit mail.

  • How can i delete or clear video from the youtube most viewed?

    How can I delete or clear video from the youtube of "most viewed?"

    The 'most viewed' can't be edited - it is the videos on YouTube that have been watched most, so apart from the video being taken down from YouTube, or other videos getting more viewings, they will remain in that list.

    I live in China, have Dutch nationality, and no US address or Credit Card; how can I have access to products from the US iTunes store, in particular music, when such items are not available from the China iTunes store? In general, what are the differences between countries' iTunes offerings? Does one really need an address and a credit card for any country to be able to access that countries iTunes store? Why these restrictions?

    You cannot.
    You cannot use another countrys itunes store.
    You must be physically locates inside the borders of a country to use that countrys itunes store and a credit card issued in that country with a valid billing address in that country.
    The owners of the distribution rights of movies/music/etc differ by country.  These distributors decide who can sell their content in that country.
    Buy from another source if your countrys itunes store does not carry somehting that you want.

  • How do you delete only certain pictures from the photo library on the iphone 5?

    I just purchased an iphone 5. I would like to know how you delete only certain pictures from the photo library. You can delete from camera roll, but not photo library!! There are duplicate pics and ones that I don't even want on my phone.

    Your photo library is a complete list of all photos on your phone, including the camera roll and any albums you've created.
    Therefore it will always duplicate photos in your camera roll.
    The images are simply links, not additional copies of the photo
