How to I get rid of old email addresses connected to my Apple ID?

Apple is always serving up old email addresses and asking for passwords. How do I delete these old email references on my apple account?

Apple is always serving up old email addresses because you have downloaded apps with more than one Apple ID. All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps. It is not possible to merge or transfer apps downloaded with one Apple ID to another.

How do I get rid of old email addresses that pop up when I want to send an email?

When I try to send cerate an email and enter a contact, old email addresses pop up for the contact that are no longer current. I would like to delete them so only the most current address pops up but I can't find a way to delete them.

There is no facility for this in the Mail app. Over time, they will move to the bottom of the list, so they sort of go away on their own, but there isn't a delete option.

There could be corrupt files. Try a reset by holding down both the Home and Power keys for 10 to 15 sec.

Getting rid of old email address

I cannot get rid of old apple I'd (email address) even though my new address and applied is verified. Cannot back up data because old email and password have been cancelled.

Whenever I open iPad. It wants to back things up but asks for password using old address. I have updated my profile and changed address in settings but still cannot get rid of it. Tried signing out also.

Has anyone the answer to the problem of not being able to get rid of old email address so the new one is the one that pops up and the old one is deleted

1800 help please.. How can you delete a persons old e address , even deleting old contact and restarting does not stop the defunct address from showing up and showing up first
Can you help?

The only way that I currently know of that you can use to remove old / invalid email addresses is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults - which is somewhat extreme, and I assume that you don't won't to do that. You could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in a future update we'll be able to edit the list : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How to get rid of old email address

Using Mail on iPad, if I try to address an email to myself, it pops up with two pre-fill options....one of them being my old and no longer useable email address. I tried finding the back up files for my iPad to see if I could locate the invalid email address and delete it. The old address is NOT in my address book nor is it still in settings for email accounts. Any suggestions to help with this annoyance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

To the best of my knowledge you can't delete/remove them without restoring the iPad back to factory settings (which is somewhat extreme) - I havn't yet found a way and I've seen a few other posts asking the same thing. You can try leaving feedback and maybe we'll get a edit function one day : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Can't get rid of old email address

Since purchasing my iPad, I changed internet carriers and changed my email address. If I go to iTunes & App Store in Settings on my iPad, it still says my Apple ID is the now invalid email address. Can't get pass that point. Wants me to put in a Password for that ID that no longer exists.
Created a new Apple account to no avail.

The last thing that you want to do is to create a new Apple ID since purchases are always tied to the Apple ID that was used to make the purchases. You want to change the old Apple ID email address to the new one.
Did you follow these instructions to change your Apple ID?

If you followed those instructions and all went as it should, you can sign out of your old ID in settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple ID. Then sign in with the new ID. You should also take a look at this.

Getting rid of old email addresses in Mail

I have been unable to find a way to remove email addresses so that old, incorrect addresses stop showing up in the address field when I type that person's name. I posted to an old post which has not been answered, but the answer someone else got was: "in Mail go to window menu->previous recipients. delete the obsolete addresses from the list there." So I went to the window menu-previous recipients and deleted obsolete addresses. The deleted addresses still come up. I restarted, but that didn't do it. When I open the previous recipients list, the email addresses that I deleted are gone so there's no way to delete them again. Is there another way to do this? The addresses have also been deleted from my address book, so it's not getting them from there.

Thanks V.K. I read your previous post, and that's where I learned about deleting in the previous recipients list. The only thing I sync with is my iPod Touch, but I haven't done that since deleting the addresses. If I do as you suggest, won't I lose all my mail and address book information?
no, that would only clear the previous recipients list. it won't touch the address book. but if you got it fixed then you don't need to do that.
That would be worse than having to deal with the wrong address situation. Also, when I deleted the addresses, I used the keyboard delete key. I think that's the problem, as I went back and deleted something using the "delete" button on the recipients list page instead, and it worked the way it's supposed to.

Getting rid of old email address problem

I have updated a friends email address in Address Book and deleted her older address. However when I'm in the mail client and go to type her name if defaults to her older address that I deleted! I can still get the new address by scrolling down but I want the older address gone period. Why is it still showing up if I deleted it?

while in Mail go to window menu->previous recipients and remove the old address from it.

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?

How do I get rid of repeating emails that I have already deleted?

How do I get rid of repeating email messages that have previously been deleted? My 3G phone crashes, then 10,000 previously deleted email messages come up and when I delete these, they come up yet again. ATT wants me to buy a service plan to tell me. I suspect they cause this so they can charge me for this.
Why does this happen?

This is the second time this has happened where I suddenly received the same emails over 9,000 or more and they reload over and over once I had deleted them. Now that I know ATT will ask me to pay them and they maybe can fix a prob, I won't call them first. And I have never found anywhere that I can delete these emails that come back and repeatedly reload — except today by me discovering that I can go to where my emails originate and load onto my other various devices — and delete those emails. Which is what someone did when I called before and they admitted that it was a problem on their end that must have happened in their system.
Today I solved my problem. And I didn't have to pay Apple to do a temporary fix, which will come back in a few months, never tell me what they did and never tell me how to fix it myself. It was so that they can charge me to do a temporary fix and I would not use that paid service for anything else until this happened again. There is no such thing as an IMAP on anything that I use.
I found the origination of the problem and I fixed it.
This problem needs to be fixed on iphones in updates or it will happen to others.
By the way, it only happens on my iphone, not my mac tower, G5, Mac laptop or other mac devices that I own. Just on my iphone, several times. But now I know.
It seems to me if you want to have good customer services at apple, they would admit to their defects and offer to fix them, not come up with we will charge you and then determine if we can fix them.

on an iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.2 (12B440), how do i get rid of an "email waiting" tone whenever I make a call -- there's no email waiting

This sounds like something specific to your cellular carrier or plan options -- some offer a voicemail to email option for example. If you are actually hearing the words "email waiting" when you place a call, I would contact the carrier.
