How do I stop receiving a prompt to enter a password for a discontinued Account ID?

I changed my Apple ID a few weeks ago.  I am now getting prompted to enter the password for my old Apple ID on my iPhone 4.  I cancel the request and proceed but it is imapacting my user experience.  I am not having any issues with my new Account ID.
Thank you!

That's because you have apps on your phone that were obtained with your old Apple ID. Apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them & cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You have two choices: 1. Delete them & re-purchase with your new ID, or 2. Contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & request they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID:

  • I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?

    Delete everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy it again.
    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.

  • How to End the Error message: "enter the password for the exchange account"

    i completed configure Exchange Account on my iPhone, but still show the error message:  "enter the password for the exchange account"

    make sure you don't have 2 step verification in gmail.
    otherwise you need to follow
    Signing in using application-specific passwords
    The codes that you’ll get with 2-step verification don’t work with all applications. There are a few applications that use information from your Google Account (like the Gmail application on your phone, or Outlook) that require another type of code. These are called application-specific passwords.
    Some devices and applications that use these special passwords include:
    POP and IMAP email clients such as Outlook, Mail and Thunderbird
    Gmail and Google Calendar on smartphones
    ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone
    YouTube Mobile on Apple devices
    Cloud Print
    Installed chat clients such as Google Talk and Adium
    3D Warehouse, Sketchup, and installed applications
    AdWords Editor
    Sync for Google Chrome
    Gmail Notifier
    How to generate an application-specific password
      Unlike a verification code that you receive from your phone or through Google Authenticator, application-specific passwords are generated. You don’t have to memorize them, ever - you simply generate a new one each time you need to sign into a particular application. Follow the steps below to generate your application-specific password: 
    Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page (pictured below) under your Google Account settings.
    Under the Application-specific passwords section, enter a descriptive name for the application (label 1) you want to authorize, such as "AdWords Editor – Desktop," then click “Generate application-specific password" (label 2).
    You'll then see the application-specific password you just created (3). You'll also see the name you wrote in for the device (4) and a link to Revoke (5) -- or cancel -- the code.
    Once you click Done, you’ll never see that application-specific code again. But don't panic: You can generate a new one whenever you’re prompted for an application-specific password by a non-browser device or application -- even a device or application you’ve authorized before.
    Using application-specific passwords
    When prompted for a password when you sign in to a non-browser application or device that accesses your Google Account:
    Enter your username.
    Enter your application-specific password in the password field.
    If your application has an option to remember your application-specific password or stay signed in, you can select that option so you won’t have to generate and enter a new application-specific password each time you access your account from this application or device.

  • Whenever I start my iPhone or iPad I get a message:'Password required/Enter the password for the CardDAV account. Can someone tell me what the CardDAV is and how to eliminate the message?

    Each time I start iPhone or iPad I get a message: 'Password required/ Enter the password for the CardDAV account'. Can anyone tell me what that is about and how to eliminate.
    Also this began happening the same time my Yahoo mail account was hacked which resulted in my mail program (on mini) to fail. It crashes on startup.
    Thanks

    Thanks Steve that did it on my iPad. It was the yahoo account. Im beginning to think that Yahoo is dangerous. It was the hacking of my Yahoo mail account that started these problems. My mail account on my mini still does not work. I posted the problem here and got real professional advice  but to no avail it still doesnt work and I cant re-install the OS because Im in China and their Great firewall keeps the net too slow.

  • My old ID was disabled so I created a new one for the new phone, but when I go to the apple store on my phone it says to enter a password for my old account, how do i change the id to my new one?

    I went to the settings and entered my new account info with the new apple ID but everytime I try to download something it is asking me to enter the password for the old ID(which is disabled)

    Maybe the App Store is still open with the old info?
    Try this:
    Restart your iPhone
    Press Settings and then Store
    Press your Apple ID and choose sign out
    Press Home button
    Go back to Settings > Store and then sign in with new ID/password.

  • Consistently being prompted to enter Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes

    Hi, I have an iPhone 4 and an iPod touch 5th gen. I'm consistently being asked to prompted to enter my password for my Apple ID for either iTunes or iCloud. I never had this issues until I updates to iOS 7.0.2 on my iPhone. I have a different apple id for the iCloud on my iPod and it doesn't prompt me for that one just for the apple id password of the one I use for iTunes and iCloud on my phone. Any insights?

    This came up when I tried to enable Notes.  This may be the solution to my problem.  icloud / me won't work when you change from @yahoo to one of those domains.  Specifically it tells you no to use a Apple owned domain so I don't know.

  • How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad? E.g when browsing Safari a Mail alert box will pop up when I receive a new email. I don't want this alert. Thanks.

    How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad?
    e.g. When browsing in Safari I will be interrupted by a 'ping' sound and a Mail alert box every time a new email comes in to my Inbox. This is irritating. How do I stop this? To see if I have new Mail I just prefer to go to Mail and my Inbox at convenient intervals.
    Thank you.

    The same way you'd change any notifications: Settings>Notifications>Mail. Change it to "Banner" or "None".

    You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it.  It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.
