I have an old Apple id, created without the email address, and now I cannot access the account

My account got hacked, so I had to change my Apple ID and related info.
My original Apple ID was just my name (not an email address). Now I cannot access the songs and other materials I purchased with that ID.
I cannot recreate the ID because currently IDs must be email addresses.
Any ideas? Someone else posted this question too, but got no feedback. That was over a year ago.

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can only choose not to use it. Also, your @me.com address is associated with this ID and cannot be moved to another ID or be used to create a new ID.
All you could do is create a new ID using a different email address with your name in it. If you do you will have an associated @icloud.com email address.

I received an email that I have unused money from a gift card. I do not have the gift card and now I cannot access the unused money. What do I do? Phone support could not help me.

I was notified by iTunes that I have unused balance from a gift card. I no longer have said gift card and now cannot access the unused balance.
Customer support on the phone could not help me.

You do not need the card once it's been redeemed. The balance will be tied to your iTunes Store account. Just log into your account on any of your devices and you should be able to see and spend the balance.
There is no telephone support for the iTunes Store, just so you know for future issues. The iTunes Store provides support only via a web form.

I have an old apple id that I don't use (and I don't remember the password) and it now won't let me log in for updates, how can I delete it

Click here and try resetting that account’s password.
That Apple ID is stored inside each of those applications. If you can’t get back into it, you’ll need to delete and redownload all of them, which may require repurchasing paid ones.

Hey cnasmond,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issue relating to changing your iCloud account. The following articles may help to resolve your issue:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I bought a phone off someone and now i cannot access the phone because it is linked to there account and they are no where to be found. Is there any way i or apple can somehow wipe out the phone?

I just bought a phone off an individual however they did not remove the device from their icloud, find my iphone etc. so i cannot access the phone since i do not have the password and the person is no where to be found. Is there anything I or apple can do to remove it for me and erase and wipe out the phone so i can activate it?

Sorry no, more than likely you bought a stolen phone, especially if you can't contact the seller.
Apple can't do anything to help you wipe or remove.

I created a website using MobilMe and now I cannot access it. What do I do to recover it?

I built a website using Apple software and now that MobileMe does not exist I cannot access it. What can I do to retrieve it?

You cannot retrieve the actual html pages from MobileMe as all contents have been deleted. However ifyou are using iWeb they would have done you little good as iWeb cannot open html pages.
iWeb keeps its data in a file called 'Domain' which by default lives in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb and when you open iWeb it should open the file automatically and show your site, which you can then publish to another server.
If you have moved the Domain file to a different location you will need to find it and open it in iWeb or move it back to the default location.
If you cannot locate the file you will have to recreate your site from scratch.
The method of publishing to another hosting service depends on which version of iWeb you have: please see this page -

My iphone has a different AppleId (without an email address) and I can't find the password, but it keeps wanting this old id for app updates.

When I add a new app on my iphone I see the correct AppleId, but later when I try to update the app, I am shown an Id for which I have no password. When I try to reset,I never receive an email. Even if I remove the app and reinstall it (these are free apps), it happens again and again. Anyone have this problem and a solution?

Are you trying to update old apps? Those apps would be tied to your old apple ID, the one you use to purchase the apps.

I just changed my Apple ID to a new Email address, and now I can't login to the app store on my iPhone or iPad because the Prompt assumes my old ID. How do I modify it on my devices, or force it to prompt me for the new ID?

I changed my Apple ID today, and now I can't log into the App store because my devices just prompt for my password, and I am not offered the opportunity to enter the new ID. HELP !

Setting>Store>Apple ID. Tap you old ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.

I purchased some songs under a different e-mail address and now i cannot remember the password and cannot listen to the album as it asks for the password to the old e-mail account, what do i do?

I purchased music from iTunes some time ago under a different e-mail account, i cannot now listen to this album as it says the computer is not authorised and it asks for the password of the old account which i cannot remember, what do i do to listen to this album?

I have entered my password but it is saying not recognised and now I cannot access my ipod! Help please

I turned my Ipod touch on and it asked me for my password which I entered but it is saying it is the wrong password - I always use the same. I now cannot access my ipod. Not sure what to do??

I'm sorry but the only way to enter your iPod again Is to restore it to factory settings. go to iTunes and click on your iPod then click the Restore button. This will restore your iPod to factory settings. So back up your Music, Videos, and purchases before restoring. This will work trust me

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

How to I contact Apple about a support issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot access my game center account that I had previously. It created a new one for me with my new apple ID instead of keeping the old one.

I want to submit an issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I had an account set up that I used to play online games. I changed my appleID and then I no longer could access my game center account. I, apparently, had a new game center account created for me (which is friends with my old account) and now I cannot access my original game center account.
If I can't get access to email apple directly (which seems ridiculously difficult to do), then someone please tell me how to FIX the issue.
Thank you

Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

Is there a way to consolidate two different Apple ID's into one. I have an old Apple ID that I used for Itunes and a new I used to set up my iphone.

You cannot merge accounts.
Why did you start a new account?

How can i create a new email address and change it to my Apple ID?

I set-up a me.com address but mispelled my name. How can I crate another email address and update my icloud

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Just log out of the current account and create a new account and merge your data when prompted. You might be better exporting your data from calendars and contacts to your desktop before you start so you have a back up.

I have been trying to change my apple id to my new email address and it says the id egsists what do i do

i have been trying to change my apple id to my new email address and it says i cant as the id is in use what do i do

    If your new email address is an Apple-related email account (e.g., Mobileme account), you will get the 'email is already in use' message. If this is the case, you cannot consolidate your old Apple ID with your new one. I (and many others) have ran into this same issue.
      If this is indeed the cause of your problem, I recommend that you start using your new Apple ID exclusively. If you made a considerable number of purchases under your old Apple ID (i.e., through iTunes), you will still have to log in under your old ID for that account.
      Hopefully, one day Apple will allow us to consolidate accounts.
I hope this helps.
Rex
