How to delete an old email address from an Apple ID

We have a number of iPads, iPhones, iPods etc. These all share the same Apple ID.  In the past I used an email address from BT which I no longer have access to and have forgotten the password to. We now have an active Apple ID which I have used for this iPad. I have tried to reset this iPad but it will not allow me to or to delete and update the iCloud backup as it asks for the old BT internet Apple ID password, even though the iPad is logged in with the new active one. Please advise how I can delete the old account from the iPad.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreated the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    my HP 4480 uses my old email address to send scan to email.I need to delete the old email address and install my new one

    des7931,
    You should be able to go to your software on your computer and click on the >Scanner Actions section.
    Then click on>Scan to E-Mail Wizard
    This should bring up a screen to edit, change, or delete the stored email addresses for scan to email.

  • How can I delete an old email address from autofill?

    I have an old, (email address that is not in my address book) that is constantly showing up in my autofill when I want to send an email and it is driving me nuts.  I've tried restoring my phone; clearing prevous receipents list.  Can anyone please help??????

    The only way to erase this data is to restore your phone as a new device in iTunes, NOT from backup. All data on your phone will be erased, including these email addresses. Follow this by syncing your iTunes content & other data back to your phone. You have to decide if it's worth going through this or just living with it.

  • How can I remove an email address from one apple account and associate it with another?

    I created an appleID account to use with the mac AppStore without realising i previously had an appleID account from my first iPod touch.
    Now with OSX 10.8 I want to use the email address from the old account with the new account for Messages.app without having to manage 2 logins.
    I've followed the steps found on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 under the section "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" but each time I attempt to add the removed email address from the new account to the old account the input box shows the error: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

  • HT2623 Is there no way to permanently delete an alias email address from one apple id so its available for another apple id?

    I have 2 apple id's (unfortunately), and the one i wanna get rid of has an icloud email address as an alias that i would like to use on my new apple id as a regular email. Is there any way to do this? I deleted the alias from my old account but its somehow still linked.

    I'm afraid you can't transfer an alias (even if deleted) to another account, or make it into an ID itself; and once deleted it can never be reactivated.

  • How to delete a single email address from Mail?

    Hello,
    I am asking this question for my mom who is 80 years old. We both use Mac's, but for email, I'm on Entourage so I am unable to help her with her Mac Mail question.
    Recently, I signed up for MobileMe, and a few of my emails to her came from my new MobileMe address (which I do not want to use for email---I am using MobileMe for other things). So now that the MobileMe address is somehow "in" her Mail program, whenever she writes a new email to me, it defaults to my MobileMe address. She can't remember to check what the address is every time she sends an email (she's 80 years old!)---she just wants to be able to type my name ("Andy") and have it go to the same Comcast address that it has always gone to.
    I've played around with my Mail application, but since I'm unfamiliar with it, I don't know what to tell her. Is there a way to get that MobileMe address of mine OUT of her computer so it won't keep sneaking in there like that?
    Thank you very much!
    PS: She is using a MacBook with 10.5.something.....

    Great--thank you! I will give her this information in the morning and see what happens. Oh how I hope this fixes it.

  • I deleted my old email address and one of my notes disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    I deleted an old email address from my iphone5 and one of my notes from notepad disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    Hi, MissLouie.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Some email accounts allow for note syncing.  I would recommend adding the email account back to the device and turn note syncing on.

  • How do I remove an email address from a workflow notification?

    Hi, I was wondering if you could help me please. Can you tell me how to remove an old email address from a workflow notification? The person's name and email address have already been removed from the list of Users in the Admin area, but some workflow notifications are still being sent to their email. Any ideas?
    Many thanks for your help.

    Thanks Liam, I'd previously looked at the also notify field and it didn't show any other email addresses. This time I clicked on the second of my two options in the Workflow Steps field, and then clicked back on the first one  again, and hey presto, two email addresses appeared! The offending email address has now been removed.
    Thanks again for your help. Cheers!
