If I rename my Apple ID, will my old one be available for someone else to use it

I want to rename my Apple ID so I can create a new one and name my new account my old one.. If that makes sense. So if my accounts name is [email protected] and I change it, can I make my new account [email protected] or will it still be used? And can I still use my original email with my new one?

Before Selling/Giving Away an iOS Device
Backup the device to iTunes or iCloud, if desired: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (this only unregisters and deletes it off the iPhone)

  • After I reset an officially unlocked Verizon 4s will the phone still remain unlocked for someone else to use? Thanks

    My question is in the title please. Thank you.

    If I had a Verizon iPhone and was travelling overseas I would want an unlocked phone so I could have less expensive local access. There is a reason to unlock all SIM GSM phones this includes ATT's iPhone. The carriers are restricting customers to their network even when overseas.
    This article indicates that you can unlock the Verizon iPhone. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/cell-phones/international-travelers-here-is-how-to-sim -unlock-your-verizon-apple-iphone-4s/6712

  • I had Premier pro given me by the college I attend and do no use wi fi and do not use cloud. My laptop completely died and will be sent back to Apple for exchange. How can I reinstall Premier Pro on a new Apple computer since the old one is completly dead

    I had Premier pro given me by the college I attend and do no use wi fi and do not use cloud. My laptop completely died and will be sent back to Apple for exchange. How can I reinstall Premier Pro on a new Apple computer since the old one is completly dead and could not be unregistered?

    Hi,
    You have not specified which version of Premiere Pro was given to you. If you don't have the disc (which i suppose you don't have) you will have to download it online.
    As far as your registration is concerned, for Premiere Pro CS6 or earlier you will have to reach Adobe chat support for further help: http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
    For Premiere Pro CC and later, you will not have much problems reactivating it.
    Thanks,
    Rameez

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • HT5858 I can't update apps on my iphone 5. theirs an old apple ID. That I don't have the pass word. I've created a new apple ID. but the old one keeps popping up. I have it on the Itunes on the phone but the old one keeps comming up and asking for a pass

    I can't update apps on my iphone 5. theirs an old apple ID. That I don't have the pass word. I've created a new apple ID. but the old one keeps popping up. I have it on the Itunes on the phone but the old one keeps comming up and asking for a pass word. 

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

    I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
    Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • HT5625 I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the  Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time.

    I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the  Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time. I changed my apple ID when I got a new e mail address a few months ago .

    Any apps you have installed from the old AppleID will always be tied to that AppleID. You have no choice but to enter the password for the old AppleID if you want to update apps downloaded using that ID.
    The only way to stop being asked for the password for the old AppleID is to remove all apps from the device that were downloaded using that old AppleID.
    You'd then need to re-download (and re-purchase) any apps you want to keep using under the new AppleID.
    Apps cannot be transferred between AppleIDs.

  • Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

    Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

    Not so - Apple says they have release iOS 6.1.6 to address the security problem. However no one seems to know how to get it since every request for an update only offers iOS 7. Very strange...
    Nothing strange about it.  iOS update only allows the installation of the latest release based on the hardware it detects you are using.  The 6.1.6 update is only available to those devices that CANNOT run iOS 7, like the iPhone 3Gs.  For any device capable of running iOS 7, the iOS update system will ONLY offer the option of updating to iOS 7.0.6, regardless of whether the device is still running iOS 6 at the time you try to update it.
    That is how the iOS update system has always worked - you simply cannot update to a lesser iOS release then the most recent for your particular hardware.

  • WHEN WILL THE NEW IPHONE BE AVAILABLE FOR ON-LINE PURCHASE?

    Ordered the first iphone on-line and want to order the new one the same way. When will the new model be available for on-line purchase?

    Maybe never, but doubtful anyone here has any idea before Apple makes an announcement.
    We can thank the hackers and those more interested in making a few bucks by selling non-activated iPhones via eBay.

    That is a question that you need to contact the developer of the app and ask. Apple is not here to answer your questions. Everyone here is a user of Apple products, we do not have answers to this type of question.

  • How do I change my apple id from an old one that does not exist anymore to the new one I use....Please help me I can't update any downloads for my apps.

    I wish I had some way to give you hope but unfortunately you're definitely not the first person to ask this question.  VZW has made it clear that they aren't in the customer service business so we now must take matter into our own hands.  Write directly to the CEO.
    You can contact Mr. Daniel S. Mead (CEO) by going to www.verizon.com/about/leader/contact/73.
    Maybe if enough of us say something they'll try to at least pretend they appreciate our money.

  • Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

    I have 14 Apps that have updates available.  I was able to update a few using my Apple ID.  However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
    I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
    I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results.  This is fairly new problem.  I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone.  But not anymore.  I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
    Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
    Thanks

    Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
    It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

  • My iPod touch is a model MB528LL running version 4.2.1.  I would like to download the At Bat 12 App (the $14.99 version) so I can listen to professional baseball games this year.  Will there be an app. available for my iPod?

    My iPod touch is a model MB528LL and runs version 4.2.1.  I would like to download the At Bat 12 app. (the $14.99 version) so I can listen to professional baseball games this year.  Will there be an app. available for my iPod this year?

    I went to the link you posted and followed all the steps.  I was thrilled to see that it worked!  I don't recall whether my PC still recognized my iPod Touch as a camera or not, but DEVICES did show up in iTunes and it recognized the name of my iPod Touch.
    Now, though, everything is back the way it was.  The PC tells me I have a camera connected via USB and iTunes doesn't even have DEVICES listed in the left-hand column.
    I'm wondering if this is the problem:  I had the iPod on until the battery was so "low" that it stopped.  I didn't press and hold the button on top.  In fact, until I read the article you linked to, I didn't even know you could turn the iPod on and off that way.  I would only press it once until the screen turned blank and simply pressed the Home buttom to turn it back on.  Until I read that article, I thought the Home button was the On button.
    So now my question is this:  Should I ALWAYS turn the iPod off by pressing and holding the button on top until I see the red slider on the screen?
    Thanks!
