How do you remove or purge an old apple id

I have a new Apple ID . How do i purge the old id and all the information assocaited with that ID?

You can't delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it - but any content that you downloaded with it will remain tied to that account, so only that account will be able to authorise that content on a new computer, redownload it, and download updates to its apps.
You can log into an account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and edit its info.

  • HT5622 How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account no longer exists?

    How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

    The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • How do you remove and get a new Apple ID on an iPod Touch?

    How do I remove and get a new Apple ID on my daughter's iPod Touch instead of my Apple ID that I use for my iPhone?  She is now able to get everything that I download and even see some text messages and all my contacts....and she is only 9!  I thought it was a secure way to allow her to have this but I've discovered other ways I can monitor her without her having exactly the same music, apps, texts, that I have. Please help!!

    No.
    Create a new ID for her:
    On here iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    - Setings>iTunes and App Store and sign out yur ID and sign into hers.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • How do you sign out of your old apple id if your old id is no longer valid?

    My old Apple id is no longer valid as the email I used has been discontinued by the service provider. I now use a new apple id to log onto my devices and FaceTime but unable to do the same for iCloud. It keeps asking for my old Apple id password which a) I have forgotten and b) i can no longer retrieve given as the old Apple id is invalid.
    What do i do?

    If I have [email protected] (not my email nor Apple ID), & get rid of comcast so I no longer have access to the email, I log into appleid.apple.com  & rename it to [email protected] (not my email nor Apple ID). If I've forgotten to sign out of iCloud on my iDevices, all I have to do is log into appleid.apple.com  with [email protected], rename my Apple ID to  [email protected] (skip verifying) go to settings then iCloud & sign out (It will be your current password incase you didn't know...) it will allow you to do so..
    If I on the other hand, create a NEW Apple ID & not rename it, best options to call apple & have them assist with trying to reset password so you can sign out.
    It isnt made clear to me in his question. (In my opinion) He does say "my new Apple ID" but people can call their newly renamed emails/ Apple IDs, their new Apple ID..

  • How do you get rid of an old apple ID

    I changed my apple ID as I had changed my broadband service provider. Now when I try to log into iCloud it still shows my old email login address and asked for the password. When entered I get the message password incorrect.
    Please help. How do I delete the old ID from my Mac Computer

    Hi,
    You can remove the ID in System Preferences > iCloud as the first step.
    However different apps login in to different servers and the ID may need to be removed there as well.
    You will need to remove it from iTunes.
    The App Store.
    The iMessages account in Messages.
    Possibly any AIM/AOL account you use it for in Messages.
    The FaceTime app.
    The Games Center if you have ever used it there (or it has been linked with a On Line game).

  • How do you remove credit card info from apple store app on ipad?

    Is there a way to remove my credit card info on the apple store app on iOS? There is no option for none. I don't mean from iTunes I have a gift card on file in iTunes.

    Do you mean the App store? Both iTunes and the App store use what ever is set up on your appleID, be it credit card or iTunes card. Its the same account.

  • How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

    How do you remove an old conversation using  the Beta iMessage on an iMac. When I open a new conversation with the same person the old conversation comes back

    Hi,
    Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
    iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
    In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
    What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts  for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want  (I have  some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
    With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
    Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
    I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
    I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
    By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
    Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
    In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

    You cannot remove or change the old ID. This is Find My iPhone Activation Lock. You need to recover the credentials for the Apple ID originally used to activate the iPad.

    I am a week old newbie to ML.  Haven't fully explored Launch Pad yet.  Thanks for the heads up!
    One thing about Hazel that I love is that it runs in the background.  Any file that I trash a window pops up showing all the straggler files w/select options for each straggler file to keep or trash. 
    Before I got Hazel, I noticed when I deleted an app after using it, the preference (plist) files have not been deleted when I manually checked.  This also includes the apps that install through "packages."
