I have two Apple ids but one was a typo, how do I get rid of it?

i have two Apple IDS. One was a typo and I cannot get rid of the email. The right email is there, but when I go to update the wrong email shows up, and I do not know the password to it. How do i get rid of it?

What did you do with the Apple IDs? Did you download content with the bad ID? Apple does not provide a way to merge IDs, so if you did things with the bad ID, the only thing you can do is delete that content and download it with the correct one.

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

  • I have an apple.plist file on my pc.  how do I get rid of it

    I have an apple.plist file on my pc.  how do I get rid of it

    Sounds like it may belong to some Mac software installed on your computer like iTunes, for example. It's a preference file. What is the file's full name?

  • I think I have two Apple IDs but must have typed in the wrong birthdate when I created my main one, because I can't recover it, but need to.

    I have read all the Apple ID support notes, but cannot find how to recover my account in my case.  I mistakenly thought I should change my AppleID to my new email, and when I tried to do that, I lost the thread.  I recieved a verification email sent to my new email (so it must have added ok) but when I go to change my password, I never get that confirmation email.  So when I try to access the account by answering security questions, I must have typed in the wrong birthdate way back when, and I can't get past that screen.  What now?  I seem to be able to access an AppleID that does not include any of the games I've purchased over the years, so it must be a newer one I inadertently set up.  Thus, I haven't been able to access my main working account for awhile now, and I really want to buy some things and have them on my iPad & new iPhone.  How do I get access to my old account with all my past purchases in it?

    I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account.  On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account.  If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to.  It did not send to back up email account either.
    Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
    Can I have 2 apple ids?
    If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
    (won't let me)
    If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

  • Is it possible to have two Apple IDs  for one account?

    I would like to set up one account with two Apple IDs so I could have one restricted to only free apps and the other unrestricted.  My daughter has an iPod Touch and I want to restrict what she can purchase but also make it so if we agree that purchasing an app for her iPod Touch we can.  New to this Apple ID stuff.
    Thanks,

    No. Each account needs it uniquie email adresss as the Apple ID.  However, yucan use more than one account on a single iPod and in iTunes.
    To change the acount on the iPOd go to Settins>Store and sign out and sign in with the account you wnat. Also see:

  • I have two users listed in my admin group. How do I get rid of one?

    I have two users listed in my admin group, but the undesired one doesn't show up in users and groups settings pane. How do I get rid of it?

    Well, I found a link which showed me how to find the hidden/unwanted user and get rid of it (remove hidden users: Apple Support Communities). Now when I get info from the drive on my network I find this:
    Is this normal? I would expect to find something other than (unknown).

  • Two coc villages in one game center account -- how do i get rid of the new one?

    I badly need your help guys. Im frustrated already with this problem on my coc. Here is the situation. I already have a coc account on my iphone 4g, then i signed in my game center account on my aunt's ipad and downloaded coc, thinking it would automatically load my village and i could play on larger screen. But it did not happened, insted, it created a new village using my game center account. Now the problem is everytime I open my village on my iphone and the welcome note pops up, there follows the notification saying, "do you want to load chief $&@$&@'s village with town hall level $&@? Warning: progress in the current game will be lost."---- how do I get rid of the new village without losing the progress on my old village?

    I do not want to half to install things into my PC that i do not trust! I just want this gone and like i said Firefox should of given us the choice to add this and not forced us, because if there is no actual way to remove it then il be forced to remove Firefox till they either remove it or allow us to remove it!

    and has payed icould stroage.  The other id is my pre os5 apple store id.

    You can't. There is no way to merge Apple IDs. The purchases made with these separate IDs will forever be tied to those IDs. Sorry.

  • What happens if you think you have two apple IDs?

    I think I have two apple IDs. One I created many years ago with an IPod, but I don't know what that one is now. It has most of my music attached to it. Now I have one with my email that doesn't have all that music and I can't get the music to attach to it??

    Content from the iTunes Store is permanently bound to the Apple ID through which the content was purchased. If you used two different Apple IDs, you'll need to use both IDs to authorize computers, view your purchase history, or re-download items. If you can't remember an ID or its password, try this page:

  • How to Set up Family Plan when you have two Apple IDs?

    I stopped short of setting up Family plan because my wife and I have two Apple IDs each: One for iTunes ad one for iCloud.  This was caused by migrating from long ago Apple "cloud" services.  
    The set up seems to assume you have a single ID for each person and there are no instructions to set it up using hyour current iTunesa and iCloud IDs.
    Has anyone successfully set up Family Plan while they have two sets of Apple IDs? 

    finally I found someone else with my dilemma.
    I have my iTunes/AppStore ID with all my purchases and my iCloud ID with everything else.
    this is a major issue that needs to be addressed.
    thank you.

  • Have two apple IDs.  Can I merge them somehow?

    I have two apple IDs.  One from before icloud - ends in sbcglobal.net.  When icloud became available, somehow I created a new apple ID ending in me.com.  Is there some way that I can merge them so that I have only one apple ID to manage?  I have two desktop Macs, an iPad, and an iPhone 5.

    No, Apple does not allow to merge AppleIDs. You can just stop using one of them.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    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.

  • HT204053 Can you merge two Apple IDs into one?  It was a common issue caused by the iPhone 4 and has been corrected, but transferring purchases in iTunes is a pain with two IDs.

    For a brief time when iPhone 4, iOS 4 came out, many of us ended up with two Apple IDs.  I want to know if anyone can please provide me with simple step-by-step instructions on merging two Apple IDs into one?  It would make transferring purchases on iTunes much easier and reliable.  I realize i desperately need an iOS update, but i had no laptop for over two years!  I'm posting a cry for help on that in another community.  Thank you all.

    No,
    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.
