How do I recover an old Apple ID password if I had deleted that email account (Apple ID Username)?

Somehow my wife's MacBook had a guest account with my old Apple ID.  I no longer know the password for it (since I had gotten my iPhone, I had created a new Apple ID). I can't recover the password because I erased that email account and created a new one. I'm stuck and I really need to get into that Apple ID account. I tried to answer by security questions, but it says my birthday is incorrect, I wonder if this has to do with an invalid email account (Apple ID). Need help ASAP!

You don't.  Apps are tied to whatever Apple Id bought/downloaded them and that can never change.
They will forever require that Apple Id to update.   Apple IDs can not be deleted either.
If you do not remember the password for that AppleID you can go to http://iforgot.apple.com and try to reset it.

  • When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

    When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out
    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

    If you delete the iCloud account from the iPod yo will be offered the option to retain the data on the iPod. The data is Contact, Calendars and other information listed in Settings>iCod. It does not effect the apps and music and other things on the iPod. For more info see:

  • How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    ...and if amy lou's suggestion does not work either, you will probably have to contact AppleID support.

    I read the link you send me and thanks, but the thing is that I still can't get into my Adobe Id, because when I try they ask me to reset my password in an email they will send me to my old account and there is the problem, because I don't have acces to that old acount, [email protected]
    now this is my new email, because the las one it was hacked and I just can't get back to it.
    So I would like to have access to my account and update this new email account, to have acces to my CC account.
    Thanks

  • I am having trouble, my icloud is using an old Apple ID, and i can no longer access that email account, or know the password to that, how do i switch it?

    I am having trouble, my icloud is using an old Apple ID, and i can no longer access that email account, or know the password to that, how do i switch it to my new Apple ID?

    Having the email address is not necessary. It is just the username for the device. All you need is that Apple ID and password. Now, if you forgotten the password, then you have more work to do. Since that email is no longer active, you would need to send the reset to your rescue email, if you remember that. Or you will need to contact Apple Security for help.

  • How can i recover my bookmarks and saved passwords?

    i have accidentally uninstalled Firefox software. how can i recover my bookmarks and saved passwords for the various sites. Please help on this regard. I'm in a serious trouble now.

    If you have removed your personal data when uninstalling Firefox then the Firefox profile folder that store your Firefox personal data has been removed.
    If you do not have a backup of the files in this folder then your only option is to try to recover this data with an undelete utility like Recuva.

    As long as you enabled it when you first activated your Iphone, it's pretty straightforward.  Using any computer, go to icloud.com.  Sign in with your Apple ID. A screen will come up with a map showing the general location of your phone.  If you have a friend with an iphone and are logged in using Safari, when you get close, you can tell your iphone to make a sound.  Good luck.

  • How do i retrieve my icloud mail ID password. It is not matching my current Apple ID password

    How do i retrieve my icloud mail ID password. It is not matching my current Apple ID password

    See the quote below from http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    An Apple ID is the login you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including using iCloud to store your content, downloading apps from the App Store, and buying songs, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store.
    If you are using a second Apple ID for iCloud you would recover the password in the same way: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

  • HT1222 how can i change the old owners keychain password into mine

    how can i change an old owners keychain password into mine so i can update software

    Create a new keychain.
    I'd generally suggest acquiring and wiping and installing the most recent version of OS X onto the system that it'll support, as you'll spend more time and effort undoing what was done before.  You can usually get the proper distro with a call to Apple.
    Given the iBook is PPC, you'll be limited to Leopard (10.5) at most, and possibly not that version.

  • How do I retrieve my old calendar and lists from my iPad now that I've updated it?

    How do I retrieve my old calendar and lists from my iPad now that I've updated it?

    You're almost there. When you look in that Profiles folder, you should see one or more folders with semi-randomized names. The most recent one probably is your last active profile.
    You have a lot of options for how to recover:
    * Restore last bookmarks backup ([[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]])
    * Manually copy over saved password files to your currently active profile folder ([[Recovering important data from an old profile]])
    * Attempt a complete "transplant" of your old settings folder to your new installation of Firefox (e.g., this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/965036 how to install and migrate info to a new laptop with Win 8])
