I have two apple id's how do I delete the one that I can't remember the password to?

I have 2 apple id's - when I try to update my apps the old apple id comes up.  Essentially, I changed internet carriers so the old one is  cox.net and the active one is verizon.net. 
How do I erase the cox.net one?  I cannot for the life of me remember the password.

Apps/purchases will ALWAYS be tied to the account from which they were purchases and will always need to be updated using that account.

    Why would you create a new account?
    All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    It's not currently possible to delete an account, all you can do is stop using it. If you have any content that you purchased/downloaded with that account then it will remain tied to that account (you can't move or transfer content from one account to another) - so you will need to remember the id and password if you ever want to re-download it and/or authorise it on a new computer.

  • I have two apple accounts. How do I combine them?

    I have two apple accounts because I had forgotten my information for one and became frustrated and set up a new one with a different email. How can I combine my accounts?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • HT204053 I have two Apple ids and want to consolidate everything onto one.  How do I do it?

    I have two Apple ids and my syncing from iMac to MacBook and iPod Touch is messed up.  I want to consolidate all of my contacts and calanders (at least!) under one of my ids, and also use that one for the App Store.  What can I do?

    Purchases are forever tied to the ID used to buy the items, so you don't want to change the iTunes Store account to a different ID.
    You cannot "consolidate" or merge two IDs.
    For your use of icloud, just decide which ID (or account) you want to use.  The following tells you how to move data from one icloud account to another:
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 

  • I have two apple ids. How do I get all my itunes to one account?

    I have two apple ID's. Most of my iTunes music was purchased using ID #1 and resides on my MAC. The MAC runs an OS so old that I cannot upgrade to the current version of iTunes. about 1/4 of my music was purchased using ID#2 (the current one) and resides on my windows based machine. Using the Home Sharing feature I can see all of my music on the Windows machine. However, upon upgrading to iPhone 6plus it seems that I only have music purchased via my phone (so about 1/4 of the 1/4 portion that is under ID#2). I have tried backing up to an external HardDrive, I have tried syncing using iTunes. I cannot seem to get all of my music on one account. Ideally, all of my music would be under ID#2, accessible by my MAC, my Windows based machine, and my iPhone 6plus....SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. I've read countless threads on the topic and nothing I try seems to work.

    Sign out of the account you don't want and then Sign In with the account you want to use.
