How do I merge MobileMe accounts - I was forced to create a new one

When I activated my iphone and a new iCloud service I was forced to create a new MobileMe email address. I want to go back to my old one as I have all of my calendar items in that file. I tried by going on line and changing the address and kept getting the message: that address is associated with another Apple ID. My Apple sign on is the same for both but now I have this dilemna. What should I do?

If you want to delete an account from the iPad Mail app, go to Settings> Mail, Contacts & Calendars. Then tap on the email account and it will say "delete account"

How do you delete an iCloud account on a Mac and create a new one?

How do you delete an iCloud account on a Mac and create a new one with a totally new iCloud email address and ID??

You can cannot delete an AppleID, you just sign out of all services, stop using it, and start over with a new AppleID. If your ID is an iCloud ID it cannot be changed, see this link.

To if you want to start over with a new AppleID, see this link to update all services: Update the features and services

I have an apple account but would like to create a new one for my mum on my computer how do I do this ?

When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly. Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone. After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC. It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library.
Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
Thanks!!

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

My apple account was hacked so cannot get my password. how do i delete my account from my phone to create a new iCloud account. It asks for a password before I can delete my account?

i am unable to delete my Icloud account off my phone as it has been hacked and I am unable to retrieve a new password. Is there anyway I can remove it?

You won't be able to remove it without the password. If you can't reset it yourself, contact the Apple account security team for your country for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. If your country isn't listed, try contacting iTunes store support: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

HT201342 How do I delete the iCloud email I was given and create a new one

I had to change my email address. Now I am having trouble with my apple account and my iCloud account . Sometimes I cannot log in even though I have changed my account info as per instructed . How can I get help to fix all my account issues? Also how can I delete my old iCloud email they issued and get a new email address? It won't let me delete the old email.

If by "email address" you mean Apple ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This will delete the account any your synced data from your iPod, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your iPod when you sign back in.
If you are changing to a new account, be sure to choose Keep on My iPod when you delete the account. Then choose Merge when you turn on your iCloud data syncing with the new account.

I just updated my MacBook pro early 2011 model to OSX 10.9 and was forced to create a new user(administrator) and ended up with a different configuration. If I login with my original user name everything is back. How can I get rid of the other user name?

I have two user names with Administrator privelages and my MacBook keeps booting up to the wrong one and I have the wrong configuration since I updated to OSX 10.9. I would like to get back to my original User name which I used to boot up to. When I go to the User Groups and Preferences it doesn't allow me to delete the un-wanted user.
Does anybody have any suggestions how I can fix this? I can't seem to recover Time Capsule back-ups prior to the OSX upgrade even though I have been faithfully backing up to a Time Machine.
Help please.

First of all, open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options, and set your old user account in "Automatic login". By doing this, your computer will always log in with your old account.
Then, log in your old account, where you will be able to delete the new user that OS X Mavericks forced you to create. Other users have reported the same problem

I deleted my old Email account because I wanted to create a new one, and I did. However, when ever I send an Email from the Mail app on my laptop it says the Email was sent from my old Email and I just can not get rid of it.

I deleted my old Email and only used my new Email to set up the Mail app on my laptop. And the old Email is completely dead, hotmail.com says the Email no longer excists when I try to sign back in to it however my Emails remain saying 'Sent from Jordan [*old Email*].
I can't find a solution!!

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.

HT204053 how can i delete an older apple ID and only use the new one?

how can I delete an old Apple account and transfer it to a new one?

Welcome to the Apple community.
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.

How do you deactivate or turn off an @me email address and create a new one

My @me email address is slammed with spam. I get so much everyday it crowds out important emails. How do you shut off an icloud email address and create a new one? Do I need to create a new apple ID?

You can create a new @icloud.com email address to use that will deliver email to your current inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a. Then you can set up an email rule at icloud.com to send email sent to your @me address to the trash, where it will be deleted after 30 days, or to your spam folder, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.

How do I merge two accounts into one account that contains all the files from both?

When I was running my MacBook Pro under Snow Leopard, I had one account for business that was encripted and another account that was unencripted for personal. Now, under Lion, the whole disc gets encripted so I don't really need two acounts. How do I merge the accounts together into one account and retain all the files from both?
Thanks,
Dave

You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

Hello Stormjib,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes Library issues. Your iTunes media folder may have been move or modified, which would explain why you can only see media in the cloud:

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.
