My apple ID email is no longer valid.

I gave up trying to change the email and just made a new apple ID account. I went in to setting in signed into my new account, but whenever i go to the app store to update or purchase new apps the old email still comes up. At this point i really dont care if I lose all my apps i will re download them. Can someone just please tell me how to completely get rid of the old apple ID account and be able to use the new ones?
Also will this cause me to lose my contacts and photos?

You need to sign out of the store and then sign in with the new AppleID. However, you cannot simply re-download your old apps with the new AppleID. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID used when making the purchase, and ONLY that AppleID will allow you to update or redownload the apps you've already purchased with the old AppleID. Otherwise, with the new AppleID you will need to actually re-purchase your apps.
Is this the site you used to try to change your primary email address - https://appleid.apple.com/ ?

I cannot sign into my iTunes account. My Apple ID email is no longer valid. What can I do?

i couldn't answer my security questions and when I tried to reset my password it sent it to an email that is no longer valid. Can I change my apole id?

You can create a new account, but all of the purchases that you did on your existing account will remain tied to that account, so only that account can potentially redownload them, authorise them on a new computer's iTunes and download updates to its apps.
To reset the account's security questions and/or password, if you don't have access to the email account then contact Support in your country to get them reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then update your primary email address and add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

How do I disable a previous apple ID where the email is no longer valid and it has my incorrect birthday?

How do I disable my old apple ID where I have 1) forgotten the password, 2) the email is no longer valid (so they can't send me my password) and 3) it has my incorrect birthday (so I can't answer the security question to have them send me a new password)?
Also, I set up a new apple ID on my iphone, but it won't accept my itunes card. It says I need to complete all the information highlighted in red. However, there is no information highlighted in red. It seems to want me to put in a credit card. Is there any way around this?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

HT5312 i don't remember the answers to the security questions, and my rescue email is no longer valid.

I got the new iPhone 5, and all is well, but when I wanted to download a new app, I got a message asking me for the answers to my security questions. I don't even recognize the questions, let alone know the answers. My rescue email is no longer valid, so how do I continue using my ID?

Check the AppleCare number for your country here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

Hello
Try restoring the device and setting up as new.
If it is still shows an iCloud activation lock, then it's on an iCloud account
The wrong device was removed from an iCloud account.
Check any other Apple IDs you might have at
iCloud.com
Get signed into them and remove that device.
I wish this was the first time I seen this.
Best of Luck

I have two apple accounts, with two separate iCloud accounts, both with information I need on my iPhone and mac. One email is no longer valid therefore I can't varify it via emial. How do I get info onto my phone or onto one account?

I have two different email accounts/IDs because one of my account email's is no longer valid, therefore I am unable to verify it via the varification email. I can not use my current email/apple ID to change it to becuase it is set as my backup on the first account. So frustrating because I am now paying for two seperate iclouds and cloud music storage as well. Just bought my mac and I am having trouble getting music onto my iphone because the majority is on the old, non valid email address account but I have to use my current apple ID on my iphone.... any suggestions on how to not lose everything and have it all in one place would be great! Thanks!

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

Forgot password and email is no longer valid

Hi I'm in a vicious cycle here. Just got a new phone and I can't activate skype on it (I use it all the time on my PC) because I can't remember my password and the email address on my account is no longer valid (old work email and I don't work there anymore). All the FAQs and help solutions seem to require a valid email for password reset. Live help does not seem to be working. I asked for an response to me new email a week ago but customer support has not responded. I'm in my account all the time on my PC but of course it won't let me change the password with out puttiung in the old one or it insists on sending a link to the invalid email address that I can't change without knowing my password. Any ideas?

Call Apple Corp, they have a dedicated department for Account Security etc..

If you're talking about an old iCloud ID, you have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Forgot itunes password and email address no longer valid

I'm trying up download apps on my iPad and I have 3 problems:-
1. the default email address on iTunes no longer exists (was my husbands old email)
2. I don't know the password
3. When I select security questions and put in my birth details it says they aren't valid either
Any suggestions please?
I have another apple ID but It always defaults to the one that isn't valid, is there a way of changing the default ID to my own?
Thanks

Is it not the case that if you reset to factory settings then you won't be able to retrieve the apps you've already paid for which are assigned to the old password
I have this exact same problem

How can I retrieve an Apple ID password when the Apple ID (email address) no longer exists?

How can I retrieve an ex employees Apple ID password when she can't even remember it? Plus Apple ID used to her company email address, which no longer exists for her. Apple support says it will send an email to her so I can change the password, but I'll never get it, since her email no longer works, she is not with us no more. Help please! I need to pass this iPhone to another, new employee.

You cannot retrieve her password. Note the Apple ID, in Apple's eyes, belongs to _her_. It is not the property of the company. If she wishes to reset the password, she can go to the Apple ID site: https://appleid.apple.com/ and try and change it. If she doesn't know the password and has no access to the email address it may prove challenging if she provided no backup email address.
But I'm not sure this is the root of the problem. If the iPhone is locked using "activation lock" and it's running iOS 7 then yes, it will need to be unlocked. If your company has proof of purchase of the iPhone, you may wish to try contacting AppleCare. Otherwise, she can release it by going to her iCloud page and disabling it.
