HT204053 I had been in Canada and created my apple ID for my phone there. Since I am back in the States and had to create a second apple ID. how can I deactivate one of them can use my normal email address?

I had been in Canada and obtained my i4s. I created my Apple ID using my normal email address. I returned to the States and still had my Canadian number. I was told the Canadian version of the iPhone 4s would not work with any phone company in the States, so I had to purchase yet another phone and create another Apple ID.
I have since deactivated the Canadian number. I cannot deactivate that Apple ID though. So I am stuck with two (2) Apple IDs. (not to mention 2 iPhone 4s)
I would very much like to only have one assiciated with the phone I have now. Is there a way to deactivate one of the Apple ID accounts?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not sure you needed to purchase a new phone, you certainly didn't need to create a new ID.
However now you have done, you can't de-activate the old account, just log into your new one and stop using your old one.

Hello everyone.

HT3529 I am currently deployed and was using my iMessage to be able to talk to family back in the states and my iMessage stopped working. It will no longer select my number to use as the send/receive. How do I fix this so I can continue to talk to family?

I recently downloaded a bunch of songs an ringtones from Itunes on my phone. I synced up the phone to my computer to back up the files and to charge it and afterward all the new music and ringtones are gone?! Checked iTunes and they're not there either!

I recently downloaded a bunch of songs and ringtones to my iPhone 4 and when I synced my phone to my computer to back up the files and to charge the phones the ringtones and songs were gone. They disappeared from my phone and from my iTunes as well. I checked my my iTunes for downloadable items and there was nothing there. I went onto iTunes and tried to download the same things that I had previously and when I did it said I had already downloaded them? iTunes only gave me the option to purchase the music and ringtones again. Does this happen often or is there something wrong with the software on my iPhone?

Hi,
Did you have the music in your iTunes library on your computer when you signed up for match? How did you transfer the music from you iPhone to your computer? Do you have a back up.

My computer uses Windows XP. The latest Apple Update for iTunes ruined everything. It won't load the software, and I'm getting flooded with error messages. Is this latest update a bunch of crap?

My computers uses WindowsXP. The latest Apple Software Update put the latest version of iTunes on my computer, and now iTunes doesn't work. I've tried that instructions on the Apple homepage (delete program, reinstall, etc.), and nothing works. What's worse is that I'm getting error messages every time I log on to my computer. Is this latest version a pile of pooh? Anybody know how to fix this? Or do I need to wait for Apple to figure out where they screwed up?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I am trying to delete my icloud account on my phone. Its wanting me to sign in with an old apple id that is an old email that is no longer active. How do I get it to let me use my new email address?

I just got a new iphone 5C. I am trying to clear my old phone and delete the icloud account. BUT on my old phone in the icloud settings it is still wanting to use an old email account that is no longer active, therefor it wont allow me to sign in and delete the icloud account. and it wont let me change my email address to my apple id that is current. suggestions?

Go to Settings, and then turn iMessage and FaceTime on if they are off. If they are on, then turn them both off, restart the phone, then turn them back on.
Go back to Settings > iCloud. Whether the current or old email address is displayed there, try your current password.

We were in England for 6 wks and now everything opens in the uk, we are back to the states and I want to have it open with all the US addresses

I do not understand why it did this because I did nothing manually to change it to the UK addresses but it did it on its own and now that we are back it is still coming up with the Uk addresses on everything. How do I get it to go back to the US addresses?

I'm back in the states and i still have a problem with iTunes account

While I was in the dominican republic I wasn't able to make purchases in the iTunes store. I found out it was because I have a us account. But now I'm back but it still is not working and everything I try to do make it work is not fixing the problem.

This is in Google searches? I suggest clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved Google cookies. Or you might try just clearing the cookies first.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using either:
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
* Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (classic menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

imessage on my iMac has created two iMessage account both asking for Apple ID....and no option to - (delete) one of the two duplicate accounts....how can I delete one of them it just bothers me due to sign in issues....when signed into one it signs out the other and goes inactive I just wanted to delete one of them so this issue doesn't happen....why doesn't it give the option to delete ONLY these two accounts

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

I just bought an I phone and was playing Scrabble when an advertisement popped up and I tried to go back to the game and now I can't use any of my apps because whenever I touch one they shake and have an X on them. What did I do?I just bought an I phone

I just bought an I phone and was playing Scrabble when an advertisement popped up and I tried to go back to the game and now I can't use any of my apps because whenever I touch one they shake and have an X on them. What did I do?

Relax. Nothing is wrong.
You accidentally tapped-and-held a little too long and you entered what many people call "jiggly mode" - i.e. app reorganization and deletion mode. When in this mode, you can move apps around on your various home screens, create and organize app folders, and delete apps (by tapping the X).
Exit this mode by tapping your Home Button one time.

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!
