How long after a delete does a storage sccount name become available?

I have a personal subscription that I used to develop some stuff. It's grown to the point where I can now make my service publicly available.  I want to "move" all the stuff to a new Azure account/subscription owned by the new company that
I have formed to sell my service.
I know I can't rename or move a storage account between subscriptions, but if I delete it in my personal subscription, how long should it take before that name is available for use in my new subscription?
Thanks.

Actually you can move storage accounts from one subscription to another provided you're the owner on both subscriptions and both subscriptions have the same country in billing address. Just open up a support request and let them take care of it for you.
Regarding the time, you can't really predict. It all depends on the amount of data that needs to be deleted. For example, if you delete a table from a storage account it actually takes at least 40 seconds to delete that table (Ref: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179387.aspx --> See Remarks section). Furthermore, I believe that if you delete a subscription they keep it there for 15 days so that
you can take a backup of your data.
My recommendation would be to reach out to support directly on this.
Hope this helps.

  • HT5429 How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps?

    How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps? The street I live on is misspelled. It's shown as one word, but it should be two words. Maps cannot find the address when it is spelled correctly, so I have it purposely misspelled it as one word in my contacts, which helps for the most part, however it still tries to place my home on an entirely different street all together. Fortunately this new random street is at least close to where I live. When I used to spell my street correctly with two words, maps would try to send me to the next town over. So it kind of works, as long as I misspell my street, and ignore the fact that it is showing where I live to be a couple of streets down from where I actually live. I live in Connecticut - not in the most populated of areas, but not in the middle of nowhere either. Amazingly enough Google Maps will correctly find my address whether it's spelled with one words or two words. Google Maps also shows my apartment complex, which Apple Maps does not. I really wish Apple would just do a quick pass of the area to fix these issues. I’ve reported the problem several times, months ago. How long will it take for there to be a fix? I keep trying to use the Apple ecosystem, but Google is clearly the better solution for me.

    Apple does not do the GIS data for maps. That comes from 3rd party vendors like Tom Tom. I have read it takes some time to update map data. The only thing you can do is report it.
    Not to belittle your complaint, but on my end it is Apple that is clearly better. When looking at my house in Google, the satellite photo is more than 4 years old, and the Apple one is much newer. I can tell because of the condition of my home and the neighbor's. They had an above ground pool which was removed 4 years ago and it shows on the Google Map. I had remodeling and roof work done to my home that started 3 years ago and Apple's satellite view showed this work done, which took over a year to complete. I live in the middle of a block in a rural town. Both Apple and Google split the block into 100 parts and put my home close to the beginning of the block instead of where it actually sits. I've reported it to both Google and Apple and no one has changed. Just one of those things. But, keep your chin up, it will get corrected eventually.

  • HT4897 I created an alias precisely because I wanted to make it the new default name and then quickly realized it wasn't possible. How long after deleting the alias will it become available again so that I can create a new account with it?

    I'm trying to make iCloud mail my primary email but I'm concerned that I may have lost the perfect email address forever.

    I have the same problem. After our wedding I've created an alias ([email protected]) to my actual AppleID Account ([email protected]). Now I'd the idea to delete the alias and my actual AppleID to create a new AppleID with ([email protected]).
    Is there really no possibilty to do this?
    Thanks in advance for quick and positive feedback.

  • HT204060 Set how long after sleep a passcode is required - I am trying to change this but the only option I see is "immediately"...Does anyone know how to see more options?

    I am trying to change how long after sleep a passcode is required, but the only option I see is "immediately"...Does anyone know how to see more options?

    Thanks for the help guys. Disabling Touch ID allows me to see other options...Although I don't understand why Apple would feel the need to put that restriction in place. Doesn't seem to be any sense behind it..

  • HT4897 I have more than one iCloud account.... Once an email alias is deleted from one account.... can it then be used by another account?  If so, how long after it's deletion before it's made available?

    Aliases remain tied forever to the account which created them. They cannot be moved to another account, converted to a full account, nor reinstated after being deleted.

  • FTTC how long after the cabinet is installed and p...

    FTTC how long after the cabinet is installed and populated before orders are accepted?
    My exchange was originally to be FTTC enabled March 2012 then June 2012 then September 2012 then December 2012 and now .... wait for it March 2013. The dates are starting appear somewhat arbitrary. 
    A couple of weeks ago the FTTC cabinet was installed and populated, however just this week the FTTC enable date was pushed back from December 2012 to March 2013. Does it really take another six months after the caninet is installed and populated to enable to sevice?
    I have said with BT and not moved to the likes of Sky or Talk Talk (which would be cheaper and on the face of it offer increased speed) because my exchange was soon to be FTTC enabled.

    the mods only have the same information any one else has
    this link should help you more http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/
    It shows your exchange as planned for March 2013

  • Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders . How to disable this? Does my PC folders are also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks

    Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders as well with a browsing option  . How to disable this? Does my PC folders will  also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

    Hi indi68632954,
    I can understand your concern & you need to worry about this, as your PC folders won't be available on other PC's as this option is just to browse through the files of the specific system on which you are working as shown in the screenshot below.
    Only the files uploaded on the Document cloud will be available over Internet using Adobe Document Cloud service upon the authentication of your Adobe ID & password.
    I hope this will answer your query.
    In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to assist you.
    Regards,

  • How long after Mad Men airs is it posted/made available in iTunes Store?

    I have the Mad Men season pass and I usually wait until Monday to watch but I'd like to watch tonight (the night it normally airs). How long after Mad Men (or any show for that matter) airs is it made available for download in the iTunes store?
    Thanks
    Tony

    Normally it's with 24 hours, but it's up to the network/production house how quickly they make the video file available to the iTunes Store for posting. It's extremely rare for an episode of any TV show to appear in the iTunes Store on the same night as the episode first airs.
    Last night's episode, "Summer Man", is available in the iTunes Store as of this morning (Monday).
    Regards.

  • How long after submitting the serial number does it take to receive your Mountain Lion download code?

    I bought my new MacBook Air on July 19 and received it on 26 and on that day I followed the steps to apply for the up-to-date program for Mountain Lion.
    I finished the process and got to the final page, where upon successful completion of the forms you receive a reference code. I left that page for a few minutes and went back to copy and write down the code but the page had incurred an error and when I tried to refresh I was sent back to the start of the application process.
    After completing the same steps, I got to the serial number input window and clicked 'submit' but alas, it stated that 'This is an already claimed serial number.' as I had previously entered it on my first attempt.
    Anyway, I didn't receive any kind of confirmation email for my application and as I have mentioned, there is no way for me to recover my reference number for the first time I filled out the form.
    Has anyone else had this same issue and/or not received a confirmation email for their successful submissions and how long does it generally take to receive the Mountain Lion redemption code email from Apple?
    Thanks.

  • How long after submitting a podcast does it show in iTunes?

    I submitted a podcast last Thursday, its Tuesday now and it is still not on iTunes. How long does it usually take?

    Several days is normal, plus yesterday's holiday will slow it up a bit as well.
    Is the author tag in your feed file contain a valid e-mail address? Apple will respond only to that address if it finds a problem in the feed file. Check the spam holding area too if the account has one.

  • How long after ordering book/calendar receive confirmation

    It went through the upload process after hitting buy button. But after 9 hours I still have received no confirmation, nor was there anything at the end of the upload process. How long does it take until you receive confirmation???
    I think there should be something at the end of the “uploading” process myself, that says your book and or calendar has been sent or is received and being processed.
    I was asked to check my one-click settings and confirmed they were correct. Stuck in limbo.... did it go through or did it not go through and if not, why?

  • How long after discharge to apply for a credit card?

    I was discharged from chapter 7 on June 2nd and I was wondering how long I should wait before I apply for a credit card to rebuild my credit? I am not in a rush to get one but are you more likely to get approved for one right after discharge ? I am reading alot of comments online of people being approved in the first month.

I am reading alot of comments online of people being approved in the first month. It depends on which CC companies you included in your CH7, the ones you included in BK will make you wait longer post discharge before they'll approve you for anything. If you didn't include Capital One they are one of the most BK friendly CCs. Try their pre-qualifier: http://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/ They use internal records and soft pull review from CRA to pre-screen you without affecting your CS. If they come back to you recommending a specific card and specific interest rate your chances are very good good you will be approved when you apply, but an app with them results in a hard pull inquiry on all 3 CRAs. 

  • How long does a podcast take to become available on itunes?

    How long does it take for a new episode to become available on itunes? I've got my second episode up and running through podomatic, but there is no sign of it on itunes. do i need to submit each one, or does it just take apple a while to update? my page is here https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/james-bests-podcast/id596009154

    When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
    However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several daycribings.
    Your second episode appears when subscribing and the Store should update in a day or two. You don't need to re-submit when you add an episode (indeed you can't) - just publish the feed, as you have done.
