I created my Apple ID in Ireland, but would now like to switch to a German Apple ID, keeping the same email address. How do I delete my old Irish Apple ID, so I can create a new German one with the same email?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

  • How do I track an old (stolen) ipod touch if I already synced a new ipod touch with the old information without knowing it would not allow me to track my old ipod but my new one instead?

    I lost my iPod touch (4th generation) over a week ago and did not think I installed the icloud on it. When I was setting up my new iPod touch (4th generation),
    I saw that it automatically shows an option for icloud. That made me realize that I probably did install icloud in my old ipod. The problem is that I synced my old ipod with my new ipod on the computer. I thought if I didn't I would loose all of my old infomation. So now evertyime I use the app to find my iPod, it finds my new one. It shows only one device located under it. Is there a way I could find the old iPod? Or could I restore my new iPod and find the old one that way? I'm afraid if I restore it I would loose all my information from my old ipod.

    That makes no difference in finding/tracking your lost/stolen device.
    The old device will only show up in icloud.com if you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    Hi lfeddrix,
    You can send and receive Messages from the Apple IDs and phone numbers signed in to your iMessage section in the settings of your phone. We have an article that explains a little bit about this, and it can be found here:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    This section is the most appropriate for your situation:
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Can I open new terminal window with the same path?

    Hello.
    I use Terminal for bash-shell.
    When I work at a certain directory, can i open new terminal(command + N) with the same directory?
    For example, when i am in /Developer and press command+N, I want a new terminal window with /Developer path.
    Thanks for reading and I'm sorry for my short english.

    Command-N will open a new Terminal window in your Home (~) Directory by default.
    Use the "Open Terminal Here" script for more control

  • My husband used Bootcamp to give his entire hard drive to Windows, but would now like Mac OS back.

    So, I figured I would be able to handle it by restoring his Macbook to factory defaults like I had done with mine in the past. Wrong. There were two options, as far as a location to install. Something or other "reserved" and where Windows was installed. I tried to install over top of Windows, it did it's thing - prompted me to restart. I restarted and now it is only giving me the option to re-install on "Reserved" - but there isn't enough space to install there. I realize I probably, completely, went about this the wrong way. It's been a terrible day do far. Help. Please.

    Restore to factory settings:
    Start from the install disc, select the language, click on "Utilities" and open the Disc Utility.
    Mark your hard drive, and on the right side choose "Partition". Make following setup:
    1.) Volume Scheme: 1 Partition
    2.) Name: Macintosh HD
    3.) Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    4.) Size is maximum
    5.) Options -> GUID Partition Table
    6.) click apply
    That will erase ALL THE DATA from the disc ( MAKE BACKUP from important files! )
    After that, close the Disk Utility and start the installer. After about 30 - 60 min the system should be installed.
    Restart the Mac, go through the setup assistant, and after your completed, insert application disc and install iLife on your Mac by opening "Install Bundled Software ".

  • How do I rename an email address contact list and delete an old one?

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. how do i delete my old one?

    i have 2 iCloud accounts as i have a new email address. how do i delete my old one that i can't remember the password to?

    You can't delete it.  There are some qualifications for Apple to delete it and you will need to verify the account.
    You have to contact Apple support for that

  • I'm trying to update my apps but itunes is defaulting to an old deleted email address, how can I change it?

    I'm trying to update my apps on my ipad, but when I go to updates itunes has suddenly defaulted to an old deleted email address, how can I fix this? When I go into settings on my ipad the email address is correct, it's just itunes thats causing a problem. Can someone please help, I cant access the deleted email address and when I try to answer the security questions Apple is telling me that I have entered the incorrect date of birth.....I haven't forgotten my date of birth.... this is so frustrating. What can I do?????

    Is it a different account e.g. did you update your account with a new email address or did you create a new account ? If you updated your existing account then try logging out of the account by tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if the updated id then shows in the Purchased tab.
    If you created a new account then all apps (and any other content) downloaded by the old account will remain tied to the old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps (and/or redownload its purchases). If you can't remember its password, and can't get the security questions reset (you don't have a rescue email address on the account ?), then you have need to contact Support in your country to get the questions and password reset.

  • If i cancel an account can I create a new one with the same e-mail address?

    I made an account with Game Center and I wanted to use it to get some free apps on the iTunes Store. When I tried to sign in on iTunes (for Windows) it said I had to review my details. I didn't have a credit card so I couldn't complete it and there wasn't any option for no credit card.
    I wondered if I could cancel my account and create a new one with the same e-mail address. There was a discussion that you could create a new account on the iTunes Store and have the choice to not have a credit card.
    Any help will help!

    No, it does not, not if the creation of the Apple ID was completed, which unless you are referring to a different Apple ID I presume it did since you are posting here. And once created, you can't get apps without providing a payment method; setting up for just free apps requires a very specific procedure or a payment method is necessary. Creating an account via Game Center does not work.
    If you can create a new email address (Gmail or Yahoo mail will work), take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • I changed email address and had to delete my account and create a new one with the new email address. When I did this i lost all of the information in my calendar. How can I recover this vital information?

    My email address changed and I had to delete my account and create a new one with the new address. After I did this all of the data in my iPhone calendar is gone. How can I recover this vital data?

    It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.
    Read this for full information and suggestions to regain access to your BBID >> http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
    You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
    Your choices are:
    --Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
    --Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
    Good luck.

  • I forgot my digital signature password. How do I create a new one with the same email.

    I can not remember my digital signature password. I've attempted to create a new one with the same email address. The message I receive is that i already have a digital signature with that email. I would like to use the same email address.

    You probably mean that you forgot your digital certificate password and I presume that this is a self-signed certificate that you yourself created, not a certificate that you received from a Certificate Authority (CA). If this is true then you can create a new self-signed digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak) the same way you created the first one: In Acrobat XI it is Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Identities&Trusted Certificates->More. Then click on "Add ID" button and follow the prompts. You can create as many self-signed certificates with the same credentials (name, email, etc.) as you wish. You'd have to figure out how to distinguish them, though.
