Is there a way to delete an apple ID

Is there a way to delete an Apple ID? 
or is there a way to delete an app that shows up in your purchased section of your app store?

You can't delete an account (all you can do is remove personal info from it and stop using it ; any content downloaded with it will remain tied to it), nor can you delete any items from your purchase history, though you can hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
After hiding them on your computer you can need to log out and back into your account on your phone (Settings > iTunes & App Store) for them to be hidden on it

  • Is there a way to delete the Apple ID on one device (IPhone 5) and replace the ID on that device with an existing ID used on three other devices?

    Is there a way to delete the Apple ID used on one device (IPhone5) and replace it with another ID that is being used on three other devices?

    If you have turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My you will have to start by turning that off - requires entering the Apple ID password.  Then remove the Apple ID from all places it is used, i.e., Messages, FaceTime, and so on.  Go to the App Store and then Sign Out.  Now you can enter the desired Apple ID and password in all of those places.

    Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

    Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
    If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

  • Is there a way to delete photos from Photo Stream on my macbook pro? (Not from my folders,etc.) I need to empty the photo stream. Something in my photo stream has corrupted my phone and my apple specialist suggested I do this.

    Is there a way to delete the photos in Photo Stream on my mackbook pro notebook?
    My phone became corrupted today and, after continuing to have problems with 2 new phones, the apple specialists determined that the only possible explanation was the presence of a corrupted photo or video in photo stream; and that the only way to use my phone without it shutting down was to deactivate the photo stream on it.  It worked, but I would like to be able to have the option of using photostream again. The apple folks suggested that I delete all photos from photo stream on my computer; and then, when it is "empty", reactivate it on my phone? Is anyone familiar with this problem?

    If it says Not Enough Storage Space on iCloud then you can get more Storage space for iCloud if you want to backup more Data on iCloud Storage. You will find the Pricing for Additional Storage Space and how to Buy Storage Space for iCloud from your Device in the Link below.

  • When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

    I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

    Thanks If anyone can help me.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Is there a way to delete more than one message at a time

    on my iPhone 6 I can hit the edit link in messages and easily and quickly delete lots of messages at a time.  on my iMac it seems you have to delete one message at a time, which takes a lot more time........isn't there a way to delete messages in bulk in Yosemite messages?

    Hi,
    A single Bubble is a single Message or iMessages depending on the account it is with.
    A single bubble can be highlighted then the Backspace/Delete key used.  (the greys in this pic hardly differ to tell though)
    A whole chat/Conversation (Apple calls iMessages connections "conversations" and other connection have always been "Chats" since iChat 1) can be deleted by mousing over the chat in the list and using the x icon that appears without having to bring that one to the "front" or top.

  • Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

    Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
    This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
    It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
    I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

    Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
    Apple - iPhone - Feedback
    While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
    That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

  • HT1349 Apparently you can have 5 computers registered for iTunes.  I have 3 active computers but I guess I have other computers that are still activated that I no longer use.  Is there a way to delete or see what the others are?  Please help!

    Apparently you can have 5 computers registered for iTunes.  I have 3 active computers but I guess I have other computers that are still activated that I no longer use and I no longer have as they crashed.  Is there a way to delete or see what the other computers are so that I can go in and delete them?  I've tried to email Apple directly but apparently I need my hardware # and obviously I do not have that # since I don't have the equipment any longer.  Any help is greatly appreicated.  I am trying to add another computer and it won't allow me to as they say I'm at my limit.  Please help!

    Sure.
    Just open up iTunes on your computer -> Go to the iTunes Store -> Click your e- maill address (top right corner of the window) -> Type in your password for your Apple ID -> Under Computer Authorisations (underneath your Apple ID account balance and address) -> Press 'Deauthorise All'
    -> This will deauthorise all computers and devices from your iTunes account -> you then need to re- authorise any computers/ devices you would like to use with your Apple ID for iTunes content -> to do this, select the Store tab along the menu at the top (where 'File', 'Edit', 'View' etc..... are) -> Then click 'Authorise this Computer' -> Type in your Apple ID -> Voila!
    For any iOS devices (non- computers) you wish to re- authorise, these will automatically do so when you go to play iTunes content, download an app or anything like that on those devices!
    Hope this helps!
