How do you delete an old e-mail account?

I have some apps on my mini IPad air that were purchased using an old e-mail account, which I have attempted to delete (thought I was successful); however, when I try to update specific apps, it will only let me log in using that old e-mail address.

Did you create a new separate account or did you just change your Apple ID.
Purchases are permanently linked to the Apple ID that made them. If you created a new ID and these apps were purchased with your old Apple ID then you will not be able to update them without entering the password for that account.
If you do not remember it then you will need to delete those apps and redownload/purchase them with your new Apple ID.

How do I delete an old e-mail account from my Apple ID?

When I purchased my iPad, I registered with an old y-mail account and a backup e-mail to my girlfriend's e-mail address, Now I have a g-mail account and need to delete the y-mail account and change the backup e-mail account. I cannot find information that will help me accomplish this.

Try here...
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

How do I delete an old g mail account

Had a previous BB and got a new Curve9320. Used Desktop software to back up and restore from old to new phone. The old phone has been wiped and returned to my former employer BUT my new has 2 personal email accounts but also a icon for my former work g mail. For the moment I have "hidden" the icon but I really would like to delete any reference to the email account from my new phone. How do I do that?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
As long as your work was not BES, then this will be pretty straight forward:
Launch the EMail Setup Wizard (wherever it is based on your BB OS)
Go into Internet/Personal Accounts
When your integrated accounts are listed, select the one and delete it
On the other hand, if your work was BES, then doing the full backup/restore has now placed the same BES restrictions (IT Policy) that your old BB had onto your personal one...you can verify that via this:
KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
If that's the case, then you'll need to start over to remove that:
Make sure you still have all you need backed up
Conduct the ResetToFactory
KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Now restore from the backup again, but this time do a selective restore of only those databases you need (e.g., contacts, calendar, etc.), especially avoiding any databases that have to do with Enterprise, IT Policy, etc.
Good luck!

How do I delete a corporate e-mail account?

How do I delete a corporate e-mail account?

What phone do you have? Is it a company phone? If it is, you may not be able to delete the account.
If it is your own phone, and you no longer need the company email, it should be a matter of finding the account list for the phone (Settings, Accounts - or Settings, Email - knowing which phone you have will help up give you more specific steps) and removing, deactivating, deleting the account.
If it's the Google account that is the backup and app connection for the phone, you may lose much of the functionality until you set up an alternate Gmail address/account.

How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).

Deleting an old e-mail account

I want to delete an old e-mail account from my iMac. Unfortunately, the only option I can find is to check or uncheck the "enable this account" box. Any way to completely delete an e-mail account from the mailboxes? Thanks!

Open Mail preferences and click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar. Select the account you want to delete in the list and click on the [-] button at the bottom of the list. Note that all the mail you have in that account will also be deleted. If you want to preserve any of it then create a new folder in your active mail account and then move all the mail from the old account into the new folder. Then delete the old account.

how do I delete my mobileme e-mail account?

Hey this is the problem "However it will continue to be accessible at http://icloud.com"
And every now and then I would need to check it
I ended up ringing them up earlier and the person I spoke to said he couldn't find a solution to delete it.
I've decided I'm going to keep it and forward e-mails from Outlook to iCloud as I like iClouds other features such as notes, reminders, calendars, work etc...
This is allowed, right? (forwarding)

How can you delete an old apple id from your phone

Although I have a new Apple ID, the old one keeps prompting for a password. How can I delete the old one?

Hi clairebrisvegas,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
Your Apple ID is used for several services through your iPhone. To replace the previous Apple ID you will need to sign out of it in a few different spots and sign in with the current Apple ID (depending on what Apple ID you choose to use for each individual service). The services you may need to sign out of old Apple ID and into new one could include iCloud, Messages, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. You can see what Apple ID is currently signed in and sign out of it in the following areas: Settings > iCloud, Settings > Messages, Settings > FaceTime, and Settings > iTunes & App Store. The following article is a good resource that explains this process.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

how do you delete old back up system to update new software

Edit > Preferences > Devices, select backup sets to delete. Are you sure that is what you want to do though? You need to have a valid backup of the current state of your device before upgrading in case something goes wrong.

How can i delete my old apple id account?

please someone can tell me,how delete my old apple id account?

You cannot delete an Apple ID; just remove any/all personal information and it'll fade into obscurity. Remember that anything you purchased at the app store will need that Apple ID and password to be updated.

Had prepaid visa on my account and now want to use Itunes card and will not work how do you delete visa card from my account

please help how do you delete visa from my account? I put in Itunes card and it shows my 15.00 credit but cannot download tunes. What do I need to do? I think visa card is issue

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

How can I delete an old exchange email account

I have a new iPad Air. I restored it from a backup of my old iPad 3. My work exchange email account came with it but does not work. When I followed the procedures my work support provided I found a new email account was created with the same name. I tried to delete the old exchange account but there is no DELETE option. I checked and I have no restrictions enabled. I was able to make the old exchange account inactive by turning off mail/contacts/calendar/reminders.
Please advise on how to delete this account.
Thanks in advance
Environment:
IOS 7.0.3
iPad Air 128GB WiFi only

Brendan, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately neither of these helped. There are no checkboxes ticked for Safari (and I only use Firefox, generally) and I am able to sign in after signing off. But when I go to sign in here I get the [email protected] filled in as in the attached. And I have been using [email protected] as my defsult email and also my Apple ID user name since before there was an iCloud. So what now?
