How to delete an old Apple ID account

I have an old Apple ID account the showers up on my I phone and I pad at the suggestion of Apple/ the Cloud, I changed my ID to e mail address. However, when I try and access the Apple Store from either device, my old user name appears and I do not know how to replace it with my mew account.
Thanks

I assume that you updated the existing account id rather that creating a new one, if so then you can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and you can then log back in with the updated id. If you created a new account then any content that is on the iPad will remain linked to that old account

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.

I have a new apple ID but if i want to buy music or free games in the apps store but they want me to log on my old iD and password but is not working anymore please give me a solution how to delete my old apple ID.

How to delete my old apple ID? If i want to buy musics or free games in the apps store ,the old ID still show up to sign me but is not working anymore.please help!

Go to settings, iTunes & App Store, tap on your ID, sign out, then sign in with your new information. You cannot delete an old ID, you just stop using it.

I need to know how to delete an old apple account and to create a new account because i forgot some related information

i need to help to delete an old apple account and to reate a new account because i forgot some related information for the old accounts

If you have iCloud and/or iTunes accounts just sign out of them (however iTunes Store purchases cannot be transferred to a different account). You can create a new ID at http://appleid.apple.com - you will need a different non-Apple email address.
However if you've forgotten the password to the original account, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'

How to delete the old Apple ID to prevent continuing access it when updating Apps if I have changed the Apple ID in my iPad and iPhone?

I have changed my Apple ID in my iPhone 4S and iPad, but when I update my Adds on them, they prompt me to enter the old Apple ID and password. I have already created the new Apple ID. How can I delete the old Apple ID on them?

If you created a new id instead of updating the old one then any apps etc that you bought/downloaded with the old id will still be tied to that old id, and they can't be copied or transferred to a new one - so only that old id can download updates to its apps.
If you updated the old id then try logging out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

How to delete my old Apple id for icloud ?

After upgrading to OSX Maverick, on my iMac, my old Apple id pops up on startup
for sign-in to icloud. How do I delete this ? I am no longer using this Apple id and
deleted it a long time ago from my accounts.
Thanks for your help !

Thanks for your reply.
I have already tried what you suggested, however, instead of signing out of icloud, I chose, manage
apple id, which did not solve my problem. When I get to the manage apple id section, it shows my new
Apple id and not my old one. So this does not solve my problem.
I may not be stating the problem clearly. I will try again.
After upgrading my iMac to Mavericks, I get sign in to icloud message box on the screen
which has my old Apple id in it and is asking for the old password. I no longer use this Apple
id or password, and deleted it and the password some time ago under Manage my Apple id.
However, it now shows back up again on this iMac when I bootup, asking me to sign in to icloud
using that old, now deleted, Apple id. I have been pressing cancel and then it goes away but would
like to get the problem fixed if at all possible.

How can I delete an old Apple ID account?

Every time I have to enter my Apple ID, on the Apple site or on iTunes, it is auto-filled with an old, never-used Apple ID email name and password. I have to use the delete key to XXX-out both and then reenter my current Apple ID. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the old one? I don't care if I lose some songs bought under the old one Worth it..

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?

How do i delete my old apple id account?

i dont need it and dont want it how do i delete it? thanks.

You can't currently delete iTunes accounts - all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it.
Have you downloaded any content with it ? If you have and you want to be able to use that content in the future, then you'll need to remember the account's id and password in case you ever want to authorise it on another computer

How to delete my old Apple ID when I updated it already from iCloud?

I recently changed my Apple ID to a new email address. My old one still is in my phone, and cannot be permanently deleted as it says that Find my iPhone is still on. I can't turn it off because I do not have the password to my old "deleted" Apple ID. If you can help, please do! Thank you very much!

Sounds like you updated to ios 7. Try to use developers forums for assistance, if they give one. Good luck.

How to delete an old closed email account without having the password

I recently closed my email account that I used to create my itunes account and I forgot the password to change or delete this account. I created a new account in Itunes, but now I can`t change my old email and user name. What can I do to eliminate this old account in my Ipad and creat the new on? Thanks

How do I delete an old apple id from my messages account?

When I upgraded from iphone 4 to 5s, my new iphone automatically set the messages account to that of an old apple id. The old apple id is from college, the email account no longer exists, and I have forgotten my password that was associated with the apple id. Because the email address no longer exists and i cannot remember the answers to my security questions, i cannot reset my password and login into messages on my iphone. My goal is to set my new apple id in messages on my iphone so that I can sync my iphone messages with the messages on my macbook pro. Does anyone know how to delete the old apple id?

With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.

How can I delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account?

I need to delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account, but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
I already tried 'Find my Apple ID'.

but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
If that AüpleID has been disabled for security reasons, you may not be able to access it. Then you need to give Apple Support a call: only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form:https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

How do I delete my old apple account,it's not accepting my birthdate either?

How do I delete an old apple account? For some reason it's not accepting my birthdate information! Thank -you!

OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?

Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.
