How do I delete my itunes account and start over?

I've had it with trying to get help with removing apps from my previous purchases.  My son downloaded some questionable apps and now they show up on all my family's devices under "Purchase".  I would like to just abandon the old account and create a new account to start over. 
I deleted the itunes install on my PC and reinstalled thinking I could then set up a new itunes account, but then my previous account autopopulated my itunes library.  How do I stop this so I can set up another account?

You cannot remove apps from previous purchases.
All purchases will always be tied to the accoutn from which they were purchased.  All apps will always have to be updated using the account from which they were purchased. You would need to authorize your computers for the old account as well.
I would not start a new account.  This generally causes problems.
Hide the apps.

    How do you delete your itunes account that you registered with and start over?

    Delete the credit card information from the account and let it go dormant or you can contact iTunes through the expresslane and have them disable the account. To change your itunes and iphone over to a different account, first go to appleid.apple.com and create a new account then sign out of itunes on your computer and sign back in using the new account. Then, sign out of you phone's stored apple ID and sign in with your new apple ID.(Settings>Store>Tap your apple ID and choose "sign out".

  • HT5312 I cannot remember the password for iCloud that goes with an old email address that I used to set it up.  How do I delete the iCloud account and start over?

    I am stuck in a loop and want to delete the iCloud account I set up and start over.  How?

    If you acquired content with the old Apple ID, you also forfeit the content. Content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another nor does Apple merge IDs. It would be best to reacquire use of the ID than to abandon it if you have content because that is the only ID that can redownload the content or update it. Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting the password for the account.
    Otherwise, if none of that matters, just abandon the ID and everything associated with it, delete everything from your devices and libraries. Then create a new Apple ID and start over.

  • HT204161 How do I delete an Itunes account and an appleID?

    How do I delete an Itunes account and an appleID?

    You can't. Not directly any way.
    You would need to contact iTunes Account Security and have them remove it.
    Know, however,  that any purchases made with that Apple ID will go away with the Apple Id when its deleted, and will have to be purchased again if required.

  • FireFox is refusing to properly sync and I have even deleted my sync account and started over, why is this happening?

    Up to a few weeks ago FireFox sync was working as expected, but then version 17 rolled out and I had auto update turned on, so all my PCs updated. Quickly I noticed that Roboform Lite didn't work in the new version so I decided to go back to version 16.0.2 on all my PCs to continue using Roboform. I'm confident this must have had some affect on FIrefox Sync, specifically the add-ons, as the bookmarks and others continued to sync properly.
    I've worked on it for 3 days now and after even deleting my sync account and starting from scratch I seem to still be having the same problem. It's weird though, it will begin to sync some of my add-ons, but then stop and refuse to do anymore. I only have about 10 add-ons altogether. Other times it will remove add-ons, which is even more aggravating.
    I also reset FireFox on my main computer that I had initially setup sync.
    Please help me resolve this.
    Mike

    I believe this is a bug in the new Firefox. I'm having the same problem, and so are others on this forum. My guess is just to wait till the next update for some one the bugs to be worked out. FFA was updated recently so it could be FFA's fault

  • How do I delete all my images and start over?

    How do I delete all my images and start again?
    I have not been able to transfer chosen images to specific folder and now there are too many misplaced pieces.  Please help!

    Wrong software... I am having trouble with Lightroom 5.  Since my images are still on my memory card, I should be able to delete that which I have on Lightroom 5 because it is in a scrambled mess and I cannot export the images to folders.  I want to start over.

  • How do I delete everything in Iphoto and start over

    I have given up trying to fix my library. I would like to delete everything in old library and hope I can reimport my pictures from disks and edit then again. how do I make sure everything that was in the old library is absolutely, positively gone so that it (hopefully) doesn't mess up again? Just trash the library everywhere I can find it and start importing again?

    They were showing up when I launched IPhoto. But when trying to upload, I would browse and find pictures, then Iphoto Library. In Iphoto library, the new albums, folders, etc., were not showing up - it still had the old ones so I would have had to look at each picture in it to make sure it was the right one.
    Example: In my first Iphoto library, I had a file called wedding, one called wedding 2, etc. My pictures kept disappearing and I did what you suggested and created a new library and they showed back up. But when I organized them in the new library, I had a file called wedding and one called bridesmaids. When browsing to upload photos, my Iphoto library on the computer still had the old file names in it.
    That's why I'm wondering if I need to completely delete everything and start over.

  • How can I delete my itunes account and create a new one ?

    Hi Everyone
    I've got a problem with my current account itunes (french) :
    I'm between France and Spain. I usaully use french applications but I would like to be able to pick some apps in the spanish itunes store, and in the english one (such as i already do in the french one). Lately I change my payment data to my spanish visa card data, since then I cannot download any app anymore.
    So I tried to create a new account in the itunes store choosing the spanish location, but it s not possible since my actual email adress is the back up email adress of my french account .
    Can you please provide me some support ?
    A good day to you all.
    Audrey

    You can access www.appleid.apple.com and open your old account and delete.

  • I am giving my niece my old ipad.  how do i delete my itunes account and put hers on?

    I am giving my niece my old ipad - ipad 2 - 3 G.  I have reset everything, but I cannot change my itunes account from me to put hers on.  How do I do this, please.
    Thanks

    I suggest Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    Then your niece will receive an iPad which, software- and content-wise, will appear as if it's fresh out-of-the-box.  It will have no ties whatsoever to any devices, iCloud, etc. that you had been using.
    The above will be enough if the iPad is running iOS 7.  If it's on an earlier version, there is some more to clear out.

  • Help Please. Since I remarried I need to change my email address. How do I do that without deleting my iCloud account and starting over?

    How do I change my email address?   [email protected]  ????
    Thanks

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • How do I delete time capsule files and starting over

    I installed a time capsule last week and backed up my HD using TM. After doing that, I started moving large movie files from my HD to an external drive, and backing up both the HD and external on the TC. Even though I have only 130 G worth of files in total, my TM is now nearing 400G, because it backed up several times during the process of transferring files. I tried to delete the TM backup, and even tried deleting everything on the TC using disk utility, but I can't get that memory back. I have not tried zeroing out the drive thru disk utility. How can I just wipe out the TC and start again?

    You can reformat the hard disk in the Time Capsule.
    Go to Airport Utility --> Manual Setup --> Disks --> Highlight "Time Capsule Disk" on the left --> Click "Erase" on the right.
    Rename the disk and select the level secure erasure. You're done and ready to begin backing up again.
    Hope this helps.
