HT5622 How do I get rid of my old Apple ID? I don't have access to that email.

I recently changed my password and my password isn't working. Also, I still have my old Apple ID when i'm trying to enter my password and it won't let me change it to my new one. I changed it because I no longer have access to so I would appreciate it if someone can help me with this problem.

Once an Apple ID is created it can never be removed. Just don't use it anymore. But all items purchased under that ID will always stay with it and you would need to re-purchase those items under your new Apple ID.
There was an article on one of the Mac Mag websites about just this problem with the Apple ID.
Also if you create an Apple ID using one of the Apple email addresses, @me, @mac, @icloud, you can never change the primary email address that ID is associated with.
What you should of done is changed the primary email address associated with that Apple ID instead of creating a new ID.
Apple needs to fix this but they are slow to even acknowledge there is a problem with their Apple ID system.

    Just cahnge the e-mail account asssociated with the account.  There was no need to start another account.
    You cannot delete and account, nor would you want to.  All purchases made with an account will always be tied to that account.

  • HT5622 How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account no longer exists?

    How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

    The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

    If you can't get the account's password reset via http://appleid.aple.com then try contacting Support in your country, they should (after they've confirmed your id and that it's your account) be able to reset it for you.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    After it's been reset change the primary email address on the account to be an address that you have access to : Change your Apple ID.
    And check/correct the date of birth on the account (select the Password And Security section on the account on http://appleid.apple.com, answer the security questions, and on the next screen the DoB should show).

  • HT1918 How do I get rid of an old Apple Id?

    I've tried taking an old Apple ID off of my itunes account, but it doesn't recognize the password and won't email it to me.  It also does not recognize my birthday.  How do I get rid of this old account forever!

    If oyu get rid of the account you will lose all of your previous purchases. Your best bet is to call AppleSupport because they are now reseting the passwords and the security questions on there.

  • Can't remember iCloud password and don't have access to that email how do I reset it?

    I have just got a iPhone 5 and I'm trying to transfere all iTunes and apps from my iPad to my new phone. I have managed to update all onto iCloud but I can't remember my iCloud password and don't have access to the email I used to open it, which means I can't download any of my apps or tunes onto my new phone. How can I reset my iCloud email and password without losing all my apps and tunes. Thanks matty.

    Hopefully you set up your security questions. Here is information on Apple ID: If you forget your password and how to recover using your security questions.

  • I changed my Apple ID on iTunes and on the iPhone 4. When I try to "Update All" the old Apple ID (I no longer have access to the email address) shows up. How do I update those apps?

    I changed my Apple ID on iTunes and on the iPhone 4. When I try to "Update All" the old Apple ID shows up (I no longer have access to that email address). How do I update those apps?

    Apps are DRM protected and tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another iTunes account nor updated using another iTunes account. Only the account used to obtain them can be used to update them. You can contact iTunes support, explain the situation & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new account:

  • How do i get rid of an old apple id from an iphone upon activation IOS 7

    This phone was sold to me by a friend and it had and account upon activation, my freind doesn't know the information how do I get rid of the account so I can use the phone?? Please I need to know I lost my other phone and I am trying to use this one.

    The "friend" will have to log in to his or her Apple ID and disable Find my iPhone. Or unlink by logging in to iCloud using the correct Apple ID and password and unlinking the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 for what your friend has to do before you can use the phone.
    I am truly amazed that a friend would sell you a phone without wiping out its contents, which must contain a lot of sensitive personal information. And to wipe it clean the friend would have had to disable Find my iPhone.
    Activation Lock is Apple's antitheft feature, that prevents a stolen iPhone from ever being used again. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818 for how it works.

  • How do you get rid of an old apple ID

    I changed my apple ID as I had changed my broadband service provider. Now when I try to log into iCloud it still shows my old email login address and asked for the password. When entered I get the message password incorrect.
    Please help. How do I delete the old ID from my Mac Computer

    Hi,
    You can remove the ID in System Preferences > iCloud as the first step.
    However different apps login in to different servers and the ID may need to be removed there as well.
    You will need to remove it from iTunes.
    The App Store.
    The iMessages account in Messages.
    Possibly any AIM/AOL account you use it for in Messages.
    The FaceTime app.
    The Games Center if you have ever used it there (or it has been linked with a On Line game).
