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

  • 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.

    I no longer have access to the email address used as my Apple ID and when I choose to answer security questions, my DOB had to have been originally entered incorrectly because it keeps failing.  How do I get rid of my old Apple ID and create a new one?

    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.

  • I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used for a while.  Now we want to use it, but the screen says "ipod is disabled connect to itunes"--but it won't connect.  I have tried to place in recovery mode with directions given but still get the same message.

    I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used in a while.  We want to use it now, but the screen says "ipod disabled.  connect to itunes".  When I connect to itunes it tells me to enter my passcode, however the ipod will not allow me to do anything (and I don't know the code anyway).  I tried to put it in recovery mode as someone suggested by holding the home button while plugging the ipod up from the computer, but I never did get the "connect to itunes" symbol, I continually got the same screen saying "ipod disabled connect to itunes".  Help!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • HT204053 How do I get rid of my old Apple ID?

    I changed my Apple ID with iCloud and Apple Store, but iCloud pops up from time to time and keeps asking for the old one.
    I can sign in to my iCloud account with the new id, but can't  the pop up to stop requesting my password under the old ID.
    Can anyone help me?

    Here's a screenshot of System Preferences.  I wanted you to click on the icon in the red square.
    Were you able to do that?

  • HT5622 how to get rid of an old apple ID on my iphone 5 . the ID belongs to a store where I bought my phone ,and it's in a different country ??

    How to get rid of an old Apple ID on my iphone 5 ? The ID belongs to a store I bought my iphone from ,and it's in another country.

    You can't.  That's the new security feature of iOS7 that users (and others) requested to prevent stolen devices from being restored by theives and reused.  Contact the "store" you purchased your phone from and see what they say.

  • How can I get rid of shimmer effect in videos that I create in iMovie?

    How can I get rid of shimmer effect in videos that I create from photos in iMovie?

    Well, not sure - so exactly what resolution do you use to shoot? Go in your camera settings and check. And, is there a settings to choose for regular/extra/fine/superfine quality? I shoot at the highest quality - period. My size/resolution is either widescreen or larger than what I need for the movie. My TV is HD 720p - that means the screen will display 1200 x 720 pixels in HD; if you have a 1080p, it'd be 1920 x 1080. So shoot in a size a bit larger than that because they can be adjusted down without any quality loss, but can't be made larger without significant loss of quality.
    But,again, the problem usually doesn't start until you add movement, but camera quality has something to do with it as well. I know that a previous camera I had was not as good and a lot of my slideshows/movies didn't come out as perfect as I would have liked. So I bought a more expensive camera - shoots in full 1080 HD and I haven't had a problem since.
    As for exporting a slideshow: finish it in Photo to Movie and export to desktop at highest quality (will take a while). Here is a screenshot of my export settings:
    Once done, you can simply choose that movie by going to "import movies" in iMovie and navigating to the location (I usually save to desktop - easy to find).

  • How do i get rid of my first apple id when i got the phone

    how do i get rid of my first apple id when i bought the phone

    I don't think this is the easiest way. Have you concidered creating a new account and just... ignoring the last one? If this idea is not to your liking, just simply ring up apple. From what I know, you cannot cancel and account, but, I think that apple might be able to.
