HT5625 How do I delete an old Apple ID?

I know how to reset my password, find that I have multiple Apple IDs, but how do I delete an old Apple ID?

Can't abandon it because my computer keeps bringing it back when I want to update instead of using my current apple id

  • HT5625 How do I delete an old Apple ID and password from my IPhone 5?

    An old User ID keeps popping up and I have had this old ID deleted almost a year ago How do I delete this old ID again?
    Thank you.

    How to change the Apple ID on my iOS Device
    Settings > iTunes & App stores.
    Tap your Apple ID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.
    Settings > Facetime.
    Tap your Apple ID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.
    Settings > Messages.
    Turn off iMessages, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on.  Go to 'Receive messages at' and then tap your Apple ID.  Sign out of the old ID, then sign in with new Apple ID.
    Settings > iCloud.
    Delete the account (make sure to KEEP the information on your phone), then turn it back on with new Apple ID.
    Also, delete any apps that were downloaded with the 'old' Apple ID, then reinstall them with your 'new' ID.

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

    How do you delete an old Apple ID Password on my IPAD #1 and replace it with a new apple ID?

    AnaMusic and King Penquin, this is the first such inquiry I have made for Apple help. I appreciate the help. You folks are very nice. I now have my I phone where it will not let me log in to use it as I upgraded to the latest version of the operating system tonight. That was a mistake on my part.
    Thanks very much.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
    Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another.  You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID.

    To remove the apple id from the device, go to Settings>icloud>delete account. NOTE: this will only remove the account from the iPad. It will not delete the account.
    I hope this helps

  • How do I delete my old apple account,it's not accepting my birthdate either?

    How do I delete an old apple account?  For some reason it's not accepting my birthdate information!  Thank -you!

    OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
    You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
    Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?

    You can't, but you can simply stop using it.

  • TS1702 How do I delete an old Apple ID?

    When I attempt to update my Apps the password window pops up but my Apple ID displays a discontinued email adresss no longer in use. I've reset, updated and signed off of my Apple ID but nothing changes and the old email address keeps popping up.  How do i delete the old address permanently?

    ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.
    Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

  • How do I delete an old apple id from my messages account?

    When I upgraded from iphone 4 to 5s, my new iphone automatically set the messages account to that of an old apple id. The old apple id is from college, the email account no longer exists, and I have forgotten my password that was associated with the apple id. Because the email address no longer exists and i cannot remember the answers to my security questions, i cannot reset my password and login into messages on my iphone. My goal is to set my new apple id in messages on my iphone so that I can sync my iphone messages with the messages on my macbook pro. Does anyone know how to delete the old apple id?

  • How can i delete my old apple id account?

    please someone can tell me,how delete my old apple id account?

    You cannot delete an Apple ID; just remove any/all personal information and it'll fade into obscurity. Remember that anything you purchased at the app store will need that Apple ID and password to be updated.
