My apple ID was hacked - how do I delete it entirely so I can open a new one????
i got an email saying that 'fruit ninja' was purchased on my apple ID account - I didn't purchase it so i followed the instructions to change my password.
when i logged in my account was either hacke by someone or somehow confused with someone elses.... my email address was tied to someone else's adddress, phone number, credit card etc - I just want to delete my account and start over, but i can't figure out how to delete. and of course there is no tech support for this... even though they require my credit card on file......
Of course there's Tech Support for this:

How do I delete my old gamecenter profile and start a new one
How do I delete my old Gamecenter profile and start a new one?
I suggest changing the existing ID rather than creating a new one, all purchases are forever linked to the ID that bought and can never be transferred, you can change all detauils about your ID here:

HT2623 How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?
How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?
You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account. But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622). (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)

Stop using the old one and start using the new one. Notify all your friends, family, etc. of the change in email address.

My Apple ID was hacked, how do I retrieve it?
My boyfriends phone was stolen by his cousin and they hacked his email and changed the Apple ID and password, how do I retrieve it?
First of all cancel your Credit card(s) used with your AppleID to prevent further transactions, if you have not done so. Then call the Apple support phone number for your country: Here is a list -

And tell the operator that you urgently need to talk to the account security team.
And report the theft to the authorities. -
How do I deactivate old computers so I can add a new one?*
How do I deactivate old computers I no longer own to activate my new one?
About De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
Also, see iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization. -
How do I delete an old credit card and enter the new one?
One of my credit cards was lost, a new one issued and I cannot change the info on my account.
Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and choose View Account. Provide the password. You can change the bank card in the payment options in your account info.

How do I delete creative cloud so I can open CS6?
I purchased CS6 in April, after canceling my subscription to creative cloud. And now a pop-up comes up when I try to get into my CS6 applications, telling me that I need to renew my creative cloud membership. So I am not able to open the CS6 files anymore. I've been told by somebody at Adobe that I need to delete the creative cloud applications and files from my computer to stop the pop-ups, however, I thought I had done this and now I can't find the creative cloud files anywhere on my computer. Am I missing something? I just spent a ton of money on CS6 and now creative cloud is preventing me from using it.
After calling and recalling 6 different people at Adobe, I finally found a solution. It's too complicated to explain on here but what you should do is call Adobe and tell them that a pop-up keeps coming up saying you need to renew your subscription and that you need to figure out how to delete the creative cloud programs from your computer. They will have you go to utilities on your computer and uninstall creative cloud programs and then go from there. You have had yours a lot longer though so I don't know if you still have the serial number. I still had mine so when i re-downloaded the program i entered the serial number I had and it worked. The issue is that the creative cloud programs that I had once had on my computer weren't properly uninstalled and deleted so it was blocking my ability to use creative suite. I hope this helps a little. Definitely don't give up calling adobe because eventually you'll reach someone who knows how to solve it. This forum just is not supportive enough for this type of issue in my opinion. it's much better to have someone on the phone talking you through it.

Hi, My Iphone 6 " iOS 8.1" is dropped in water, and couldn't save it back although I tried with dryer and also put it in rice bag for 3 days. The flash light was still on even though the screen shows up nothing at all when i try to switch on after 3 days I put in the rice bag. So,how much it would be cost if I can exchange with new one? Please kindly drop message about how to deal with it. Thank you.
Out of Warranty replacement on iPhone 6 is $299 US, adjust for your location.
It is highly suggested that you make a Genius Bar appointment to avoid delay
if going to an Apple store.

The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?
Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

Youtube and Playback Display too Small on Surface Pro 3
