I want to create a new Apple ID and delete my old one, what about my purchases?

I've purchased some subscriptions that I did not mean to and I would not like them to show up on my iTunes purchase history. While I know we can hide the app from saying purchased, the subscriptions seem to be under my account permanently, even the expired ones. I've looked endlessly and there is no way to make an expired subscription "disappear" from my account, so I am willing to delete it and create a new one. My concern is all the music, movies, and apps I've purchased. How do I treat these? Will they sync to my phone seamlessly?

You can't delete an account, only iTunes Support can potentially do so, but you would lose all of the account's purchases if they do so - all downloads are tied to the account that downloaded them, they cannot be transferred to another account.
If you do create a new account then there are instructions on this page of how to do so without giving credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method.

Go to 'Settings' and 'Store' and then click on the 'Apple ID' and sign out and back in with your correct one.

Hi . . . prior to purchasing my iPhone two years ago, I did you an old apple ID, the iPhone wouldn’t let me use this and I created a new apple ID.
Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases to my new apple ID account – delete my old ID and de-authorise Macs that I have had in the past???
Thank You.

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.

I want to create a new apple account and switch my iPod Touch over to it. How can i do this without erasing all of the data?

I have an iPod Touch (4th generation) and found i would like to switch it over to a new apple account. Is there anyway for this to happen without deleting any data?

Yes, just go to Settings>App and iTunes store and sign out of existing ID and sing into the other.
The Apple ID is also used in:
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>iCloud
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

TS2755 I've moved to a different province so now I have a new phone number. How do I change/update imessage with my new phone number and delete my old one?

I've changed my phone number since I got my iphone 4S. Now when I imessage, my old phone number shows up as the contact info. How do I delete my old number and add my new phone number?

Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.

I was setting up my mothers macbook, During original set up I created a new apple ID, and she already has one, how do I delete the apple ID I created in error?

Purchased a Macbook for my Mother as I do not want to use another windows product. I need to delete a newly created Apple Id I created in error forgetting she already had a apple ID, any suggestions?

This link may help:

What I would do is reinstall the OSX and then use the intended apple ID so that it is associated with that Macbook.
Ciao.

Hi, just created a new Apple ID and I need to change some about myself .

I put in my maiden name and other info. I need to put my current because of my credit card info (conflict).
I can't find any help on this, can I just delete this new account and start over?????

You cannot delete the account. You can go to appleid.apple.com, go to Manage your Apple ID, log in and make changes.

HT5312 How do I make a new apple account and delete the one I have now? I don't know my password for the id they use and it won't let me use my current email address?

How do I create a new Apple ID and delete my current one?

You can't delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from in and stop using it - but anything that you downloaded from the stores with it will remain tied to that account.
If you don't know the password for it then try this page to get it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you also don't know your security answers, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

My iTunes is accessed with an old email address. I have just created a new apple ID and now want to change my iTunes account to reference this- how do I do it?

Arghh!! I am literally about to throw my new iPad out of a window - apple is driving me beyond crazy. I have an old iTunes account to which all my music is saved. I have just created a new apple id and want that to be the one that my iTunes account references - it won't let me change my old email to this as it says my new apple I'd is sychd to another account. How do I do it? Am desperate!

Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Good day BenithaK,
Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -

To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

You can use a wireless flash drive.

How do I remove iMessage "sign in" box from my IPad "messages" screen. I don't want to create a new Apple ID but I can't close this box.

When selecting the "Messages" sceen on my IPad, the iMessage "Sign in" box appears on the screen. I don't want to create a new Apple ID but I can't close this box which is preventing me using the normal text message screen. How do I get rid of this sign-in box?

I have a nano and want to transfer my music to my new iPad, in all the excitement of setting up my iPad I created a new apple Id and now I can't sync my music!
Can someone please advise if there is a way to transfer my music to my iPad manually? If so, please detail step by step, as I am technologically challenged! Thanks in anticipation.

You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
In any case, you would need to sync with itunes

If the music was purchased from the itunes store, you can also download it directly from there to the ipad.
