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 change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

    How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

    That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
    You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email.  There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.

    When you go into iCloud there is an option to delete the account.  The help desk advised me that using this option only deletes it on the phone and not the actual Apple ID.  If you delete it you are given an option to keep content associated with this ID on the phone, which may be a good idea unless you want to completely refresh your phone.
    Once you delete the account, you can then enter a new Apple ID.
    I've just done it and it worked fine, leaving the original Apple ID intact and working on another phone.

  • 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.

  • 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 do you change your Apple ID for icloud?

    I have had one email address as my Apple ID for App store, itunes and icloud for all my devices (MacBook pro, iMac, iPhone4 and iPad2).  Recently I changed nettwork/internett operators and now I have big problems with my icloud.  My old email address and password has been shut down, and I had to create a new adress and password.  I successfully change my Apple ID and password for itunes and App store, but I can't change my Apple ID for icloud.  I am told that if I want to close down my icloud account on my MacBook Pro data will be lost.  (I have stored my documents on icloud too)  I keep getting a popup on my screen saying there is a problem with my Apple ID (the old email address) and that I should fill in my password.  If I fill in the password for this icloud ID (also my old Apple ID for  App store and itunes, I keep getting the message that it is invalid.   How do I get into icloud to manage and edit the Apple ID for icloud so that it works on my mac and all the other devices I have?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't change your ID if it's a me/mac address, otherwise;
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud without losing my data?

    I really seem to have made a mess of my transition to iCloud :-(  I have had an Apple ID for many years - it's my @gmail.com email address.  I also have an @mac.com email address and, because I was a subscriber to MobileMe I have an @me.com email address, too.
    I only recently upgraded my MacBook to OS X 10.7.4 after buying an iPad and deciding that I would like to be able to sync information between my MacBook, iPhone (3GS) and iPad.
    I believe my problems started when I bought the iPad about a month ago on a trip to New York.  I didn't have my MacBook with me to check which Apple ID I should use.  I set up my iPad with my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID.  When I returned home I discovered that my iCloud ID on my MacBook is my @mac.com email address.
    I thought I could simply change the Apple ID on my iPad but I've not found any way that I can do that.
    The problems I'm experiencing relate mainly to Calendars - I now have multiple entries for events on all my devices.  I also have multiple entries for people in my Address Book and Contacts.
    What I would like to do is -
    1) retain my @gmail.com address as my Apple ID for the iTunes Store and purchases - this is the one I've always used and I have lots of purchases associated with it.
    2) change my Apple ID for iCloud from my @gmail.com address to my @mac.com address so that I can also sync my Mail and, hopefully, eliminate the occurrence of multiple calender entries
    If I were to delete my current @gmail.com address Apple ID on my iPad will I lose the data associated with this ID?
    Cheers

    Thank you for responding to my question so promptly!  My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address.  Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
    When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
    The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account.  Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
    The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too.  Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
    Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
    Thank you for your help
    Cheers

  • 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
    <Email Edited by Host>

    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

  • My iPhone will not allow me to edit my Apple ID in iCloud and so I cannot sync my phone. How do I change my Apple ID for iCloud for my phone?

    I recently changed my email address and updated my Apple account profile to reflect the new address. This changed my Apple ID for signing into Apple store and making purchases as expected. I am however undable to get iCloud account to recognize the new Apple ID. I have gone in through settings on my iPhone and in iCloud Account Information attempted to change the Apple ID but the field is muted and will not permit editing. I have looked all through Support in iTunes Store and cannot find any information on how to get iCloud to accept my new Apple ID.
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

    My 'Find my iphone' is still on, which is keeping me from deleting my account. How do I get around this?
    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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.

  • I changed to a new iphone 5, but it keeps coming up with my old Apple ID FOR iCloud sign in. My Apple ID is correct for iTunes and App Store and on my ipad. The user names stays greed out on the iCloud sign in and I can't change it.

    I recently changed from my old Iphone 5 to a new one. The Apple ID that comes up when signing into iCloud is my old Apple ID, yet the correct one is shown on iTunes and apps. I can't change the Apple ID to the correct one, and am unable to restore my latest back up from icloud. I have tried everything, but I can' t change the Apple ID on the phone. It stays greed out. My Apple ID is correct on my ipad and when I log into my iCloud account via the internet. How do can I fix this?

    Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
    Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages.  This should also sign you out of iCloud.
    Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
    If that does not work
    Skip the iCloud sign in
    Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
    Change your Apple ID to the old one
    Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
    Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
    Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

  • How do I change my apple id for icloud on my iphone 6?

    I had the phone set up with my old apple id email.  I then updated my email and password on my apple id and the phone continually asks for me to log into icloud, it shows the old email address and no password will work.  How do I update my apple id on the phone so this will quit happening?

    I followed the below instructions but when I tried to save my old email address as the primary email account a prompt came up saying "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID.  You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address.  Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID".
    Please help!!
    To change the ID on your device you need to sign out of the old ID then sign back in with the revised ID.  In order to sign out of the old ID you'll have to temporarily recreate 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.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT5622 How do I change the Apple ID for iCloud on my phone?

    I have changed my Apple ID.  It works on all aspects of my phone except iCloud where I cannot change the Apple ID.  It keeps asking for the password for my old ID and will not allow me to change the ID for iCloud in my phone.  I have logged out using my Apple ID in settings and signed in again. This did not change it in iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Just tried this myself and it said it would delete all contacts documents stored in icloud. 
    This is incorrect.
    If you go to Settings > iCloud and delete the account, nothing in iCloud is deleted.
