Is it possible to close an apple id?

Is it possible to actually close an apple id?  I have tried to merge my accounts but I always get a notice that says that email is already under another id.  Please help.

OK, so you cannot "merge" Apple IDs. Purchases made under one Apple ID remain with that ID forever.
Are you indicating that you have two Apple IDs? And that you are trying to make the Alternate Email address the same email address as one of your Apple IDs?
Cheers,

  • Possible to close the display without turning in to Safe Sleep???

    Does anyone know if its possible to close the display without turning into sasfe sleep???
    It would be useful while working with the a big externel dispay like the cinema display.
    thanks

    Actually, I don't think you need to have it plugged in.
    This: "You can use your MacBook in lid closed mode if the computer is connected to an external display, keyboard, and mouse."
    Came from this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303722#800

  • Why am I not able to close an apple ID or consolidate them together?

    It becomes extremely confusing when you have more than one apple ID. When I am purchasing a new app or upgrading them, I want to pick the apple ID that I want to download the new app either.
    The option to completely close an apple ID is unavailable too, so if you sign up there is no way out.
    Surely in the year 2011 we should be able to identify the confusion all of these can cause and offer a remedy....
    Either allow the users to consolidate Apple ID or simply let them close it. I don't understand why we can't....

    Here is the situation.
    I have one email address which I regularly use for everything and another email address that I dont regularly use, lets call them Email A and Email B respectively.
    When I bought my iphone 3G, I decided to use email B to create an account without putting my credit card details (it is actually possible) and that way my information wont be compromised and also email B was dedicated purely to itune.
    Now that I have bought my Iphone 4 I decided to edit the original account on itunes and use email A to receive everything in the email address that I check every day. But as soon as I tried editing my current account and putting email A in the place of email B, it said Email A has an apple ID attached to it and cannot be used as a replacement.
    Ideally I would have wanted to get rid of the apple ID that is associated to email A and use that email in my current itune account as a replacement for email B. But that is not possible, neither is consolidating the two of them.
    Now I have created a separate Itune account using email A with all the credit card details etc, however because 100% of the apps on my iphone have been downloaded with the other account, every time I connect Iphone4 and try to log onto itunes using email A, itune crashes completely.
    Also every time I try to download an app on my iphone it does not allow me to "pick" what account I want them downloaded under. It picks it for you.
    Something simple like this should be child play to avoid all the hassles.

  • Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 running 10.8.4? Tried mini display to VGA cable

    Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with a MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 laptop?  Would like to use larger screen when working at home.  I have a mini display port to VGA cable and have tried to hook up the old display but it seems not to work.  When I try to activate the screen on the old display-- a window comes up in the MacBookPro and asks me if I want to shut down the computer.  What little I have read it that the MacBookPro had Thunderbolt and the old display may not be compatible?  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
    This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
    Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
    Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
    So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
    When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
    Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
    Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
    When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
    Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
    If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
    If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
    To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu.

  • HT1918 Is it possible to have 2 Apple ID account in 1 Itunes in 1 computer?

    Is it possible to make 2 apple ID account in one Itunes and one computer?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can use two Apple IDs on the same computer, but you will need to use separate user accounts for each user.

  • Is it possible to create two apple ID on one iTunes account?

    I bought my wife an iPod Touch, how can I keep my contacts seperate from hers?

    Phil, I am confused about your statement/answer:
    ""Is it possible to create two Apple IDs on one iTunes account?"
    Yes.  I have two."
    Apple says:
    "An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID."
    Thus an Apple ID is the same as the iTunes account.
    Did you mean can yu use more than one Apple ID on one iPod because yuo know the answr is yes.
    Or have I go something wrong?

  • Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID from one account to match the second account, without losing the information on each account?

    Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for one of the accounts to match the other account, without losing the information from either account.
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts.

  • Is it possible to use several Apple TV in the same home network?

    I´ve got the latest Apple TV (ver 2) and I´m impressed of it´s Airplay function. Is it possible to install an Apple TV in several different rooms of your home, each connected to a separate sound- and/or TV system of that room for playing the same or different music- or picture source from for example an iPhone, iPad or MacBookPro at the same time wireless in each room? Does your home network and Airplay system identify each connected Apple TV as an unique entity?   

    Yes, multiple Apple TV's in the same home work well (assuming your home network has enough bandwidth), you will need to give each one it's own name for identification (we have 6 Apple TV's here-3 new ones and 3 older versions)

  • Is it possible to have two apple loans under one account?

    So back in June my mum took up apple finance so I could get a macbook and pay her each month (I was under 18 at the time and have no credit history) and that went through within a minute no issues..
    Now I face another issue, I want the new iphone 5s but still within my current iphone 5 contract I can't get out of but that aside my question is:
    Is it possible to have two apple loans under one bank account? (the iphone one being much smaller than the existing mac loan)
    If not, I'll simply have to save up £700.
    Thanks~

    Hi babowa,
    The reference to two Apple loans led me to believe it was two Apple finance deals in conjunction with, for example, a Barclays Bank tie-up as we appear to have here in the UK.   As you suggest, the payment is a matter between the poster and his mom, but I think that behind all this is the question of whether the poster's mom can have two separate accounts in this way.   Which of course, she can.

  • Is it possible to transfer an apple dev account from one apple id to a different apple id?

    I am 15 years old and I am thinking about setting up a apple dev account, but I can't do it on my apple ID since you have to be above the legal age of majority. So what I am wondering is that when I become the age of majority is it possible to transfer the apple dev account from my parents apple id to mine?

  • HT204053 is it possible to have 2 Apple ID ?

    is it possible to have 2 Apple ID ?

    Yes, but generally not a good idea.  ID content cannot be merged, or transferred so you would be left having to always manage two accounts to maintain your content.

    Look at the Apple menu's, "About This Mac," and then press "More Info" button, to identify your Mac model beyond just, "MacBook Pro."
    example:

  • Adobe Air Initiates the wrong launch Image on iPhone 6 - Possible App Rejection by Apple Review Team for all developers

    I've opened a bug for this issue as well. I want to ask if anyone experiencing the same issue and has found a workaround.  Basically Air Runtime is picking up the wrong launch image when launching on iPhone 6. It defaults to [email protected] instead of the [email protected] iOS 8 picks the correct image but Air Runtime does not. Here is the link for the bug. If this is confirmed, this could result in rejection for all the app developers who optimized their apps for iPhone 6 . It is hard to catch this bug in release mode since the Air Runtime loads pretty fast and it occurs when you device is slow or doing something in the background. You can see it easily on iOS simulator or debug mode. We tried everything for a workaround but we failed.
    Bug#3831747 - Adobe Air Initiates the wrong launch Image on iPhone 6 - Possible App Rejection by Apple Review Team for a…

    Apple recommends the storyboard/xib option but you can still use launch images as assets in your root. When you open a new project in xcode you can look at Contents.json and see the naming conventions they use for iOS8. We grabbed the new naming convention from here. Also setting up in the application xml the UILaunchImages key works too. Please see the below example. It would be a better solution if Adobe Air refers to xml/info.plist values that the developer sets instead of hard-coded naming conventions.
    <key>UILaunchImages</key>
      <array>
          <dict>
              <key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key>
              <string>8.0</string>
              <key>UILaunchImageName</key>
              <string>Default-667h</string>
              <key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key>
              <string>Portrait</string>

  • How to close my Apple account???

    Hi there,
    I'm just wondering if there is a way to fully close my Apple Discussions account, and whether it can be trickled down to all other Apple accounts which I have under the same user id?
    cheers

    You can simply stop posting and your account will become inactive as a result, but it stays in the database. If you have an iTunes account, I suppose you can cancel your credit card as well.
