How to delete one apple id account when you have two

How do I delete the apple id and password I use on my iPhone
and just use the one on my MacBook for both devices.
When I bought my iPhone I tried to set up my apple id on the phone using the same username and password as on my MacBook
but it didn't like my password on the iPhone.
The password was acceptable on the MacBook but the iPone required a more complicated password.
So, I set up a separate Apple id on my iPhone
and now I have two apple ids and I'd like to delete one and just use one for both devices.

There's no way to delete an Apple ID. Just don't use it.

How do you close only one window (not tab) when you have two open?

I can close a tab when I have multiple ones open but if I have two windows open and I close one window it closes all other windows. How can I close just one window without shutting down any other windows?

Yes, when I click on the red X it closes both windows. I'll try the Ctrl+w
Thanks

HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

Bug: when you have two or more reminder pop-ups on BB10, you can't edit 2 or more of them because the second and beyond are lost...

I notice that when you have two or more reminder pop-ups on BB10 (tasks, calendar, etc.), you can't edit 2 or more of these because the second and beyond get lost and will never pop-up again.

Hey JVanB,
Thank you for your feedback.
To better understand your issue, for example If you have two reminders and select 'View Event Details' on the 1st reminder, does the 2st reminder popup before the Details of the1st reminder displays?
Thanks.

Simple and maybe stupid question when you have two instances

Just a simple question, I was just wondering how to create user account on the local machine when you run two instances of oracle.For example all the commands I use to start and stop the database use the variables stored in the oracle user bash_profile.
But do I have to create another user to manage the other instance because it should use another bash_profile with a different oracle_sid?

Linux and Unix installations of Oracle are kind-a funny. At the end of te installation is a request to run 'root.sh'. That does a few things: set up permissions and ownerships correctly; copy some scripts into the specified directory (default /usr/local/bin).
If you were to look at /usr/local/bin, you would notice a few files, typically with names "dbhome.sh, oraenv.sh, oraenv.csh". These are designed to set up the PATH, the ORACLE_HOME and the ORACLE_SID correctly, based on user response and information in the oratab file - which is /etc/oratab in Linux. (I always ensure there to link oraenv.sh as oraenv)
Longer story shortened:
Assume you use(d) dbca to create the instances. Then you can source the oraenv.sh to set up the environment:
pop2@fuzzy:~> . oraenv.sh
[pop2]? orcl
pop2@fuzzy:~> env | grep -i ora
ORACLE_SID=orcl
PATH=/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin:/home/pop2/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/serverThat way you can switch to any known environment simply by sourcing oraenv and telling it which SID you want. It extracts the info from /etc/oratab.
You can tell oraenv to shut up by setting ORAENV_ASK to 'NO' and setting the ORACLE_SID variable before sourcing oraenv. This is useful in .profile - for example my /etc/profile contains the followig:
export ORACLE_SID=XE
ORAENV_ASK=NO
. oraenv

HT4436 How can I get an Icloud account when I have an iphone3?

I have an iPhone 3G and a Windows7 laptop. I use iTunes for all my music. How do I create an iCloud account??
I currently can't afford to upgrade my phone.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1, and iCloud requires iOS 5 or later, so you can't use iCloud with the iPhone 3G

How to Set up Family Plan when you have two Apple IDs?

I stopped short of setting up Family plan because my wife and I have two Apple IDs each: One for iTunes ad one for iCloud. This was caused by migrating from long ago Apple "cloud" services.
The set up seems to assume you have a single ID for each person and there are no instructions to set it up using hyour current iTunesa and iCloud IDs.
Has anyone successfully set up Family Plan while they have two sets of Apple IDs?

finally I found someone else with my dilemma.
I have my iTunes/AppStore ID with all my purchases and my iCloud ID with everything else.
this is a major issue that needs to be addressed.
thank you.

Outgoing email bug when you have two accounts each with an SMTP.

I have two email accounts on iPhone and each has a different outgoing SMTP server associated it the account. One is SBC the other is my domain ISP. (Sometimes I like to send out of SBC but when it gets slow I can sent out of my domain.)
Here is the thing. Each account has a "from" email address THE SAME (i.e. [email protected]).
Now get this No matter which account I send out of, the mail ALWAYS go through the SMPT server of the FIRST account in the account list. HOWEVER, if I change one of the "from" email addresses to something different than the other (ie. [email protected]) the mail will go out of the correct SMTP server.
What is THAT all about? It looks like iPhone is looking to use the return address as a factor in determining what SMTP to use. It SHOULD use the SMTP of the account mail is SENT from... but it doesn't... if the return addresses are the same.
Any ideas?
Al

You will need to contact iTunes Store support and you will lose access to any purchased content from that account. You may wish to consider just asking to disable the account or how to better manage multiple accounts.

How to fax on a secondary line when you have 1 jack with two lines?

I have two phone lines accessible through one wall jack. The default line is my voice line. I wanted the secondary line to be the fax line.
I have set up the fax preferences and have specified the fax line (which appears to be just for header info). I can send a fax out but it uses the primary line. I have tried to send a fax to the machine but it doesn't catch the second line.
Is there something additional I need to set up or do I need 3rd party software or a second physical jack or some kind of line splitter for the jack.

Hello,
Go to Wal-Mart, or some other store that sells phone wire and adapters. Look for a small adapter that plugs into your phone jack.
It should specifically be labeled to split a two line jack into separate line 1 and line 2 jacks.
They usually have 3 jacks on them. Line 1, Line 2, and Line 1 + 2 (which would be the same as your normal jack).
Make sure it's not just a splitter, but also actually divides your phone lines. They usually cost about $3 to $6.
Radio Shack probably has them as well.
Once you plug that in, you can plug your phone into the line 1 jack, your computer's modem into the line 2 jack, and anything that can use both lines into your Line 1 + Line 2 combination jack.
I hope this helps.

How to flash bios for aspire 5745 when you have a black screen

I attempted to update my bios for my Acer Aspire 5745 notebook and chose the wrong file. The computer is giving me a black screen now. When I push the start button the lights come on the fan blows and thats all. I found a few sits on line giving me the procedure to flash an aspire one system. Here is the steps I took to do so to no avail. 1. When to the acer site and put the SNID number to my laptop to pull up my suggested downloads for my system. 2. I downloaded the file to my working computer. 3. I extracted the file and opened the file that said DOS. 4. I renamed the file zg5ia32.fd 5. checked my flash drive to make sure it is set to ( FAT ). 6. Transfered the file to the flash drive. 7. Pluged in the flash drive to my dead laptop while it was pluged into a powersorce. 8. Held down the FN and ESC buttons while pushing the power buttons. 9. Released the FN and ESC buttons when I noticed the power light blinking and the flash drive light up. 10. Waited for over 15 min. but had no success. If anyone could tell me what I may have done wrong I would be much appriciated. I also opened up the backside to the laptop and removed the little battery that was plugged it with a small white connector assuming it was the cmos battery but still nothing happended.

I was never able to properly flash my bios. I had wondered if when I tried to update it I may have destroyed my bios in the process. Anyways I had purchased a motherboard for I think around 50.00 on ebay. It was used but was complete. All I had to do was take out the old motherboard and replace with the other one. It all came on after that with a new knowledge of not fix something that is not broken.

HT1311 For some unknown reason I have two Apple ID/Accounts in operation which is causing an issue. How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?

For some unknown reason I have two Apple ITunes/ID Accounts in operation.
How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?

I have a similar situation.. in my case, I started using an Apple ID a while back, then when MobileMe was introduced, I got an account there, and somehow that is the account that is mostly used when making updates or purchases.
Sometimes when making updates, it prompts me for the PW for one account, and sometimes for the other.
This is a real pain - is there anyway both these accounts can be consolidated into one? When I asked an Apple rep, I was told 'no', but they have been known to make mistakes when giving advice. So, is there a way? Technically, I don't see this as a problem.. but Apple seems to be of the opinion that this would lead to having apps 'shared' amoung users. I think all that would be necessary if for me to provide the necessary proof that both accounts are indeed mine, and not belonging to someone else.
If not, what about deleting the apps registered to one account, and then re-purchasing them with the other account? To do this, I would need to identify which apps are registered to which accouts - is this possible? Most of my apps are free, but there are a few I paid for.. not many, so this possible solution might work and not cost too much. Ideas?
