My iPhone pulls up an old apple ID account when downloading or upgrading apps. How do I delete that account?

On my computer and iPad, my apple ID is the one that was created when I got my iPad a year and a half ago. I recently got an iPhone and the apple ID that the app store is using is one from way back before I had mobile me. How do I delete the old account?

Thank you for your assistance!  I have tried following those steps, but when I click "Sign out", it only gives me a link to Delete Account or Cancel.  When I click Delete Account, it then prompts me to enter my password for the old Apple ID that I am trying to get rid of, in order to turn off Find My iPhone.  Since I no longer have the old e-mail address, I can't figure out what my password was.  I feel like it keeps taking me into a coninuous loop.

    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.

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

    Can anyone please help me on this issue "What to do when my iPhone is asking for password of old apple I.D. when I don't have it and have created a new applie i.d."??

    Sir, Thank you very much for your prompt response.  I have already done this.  But the problem is still persisting.  Actually, I want to upgrade my WhattsApp application and as soon as I click the upgrade button in App Store, it asks for the password of previous apple i.d., which I don't have as I have bought this phone from somebody.  There is no option for log out or log in.  It there any other way out to upgrade the WhatsApp ????

    Hi Baem_leeds
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
    The links below will provide additional information:

  • Old Apple ID used to sign in for App Store

    My iPhone 5s will not let me update any of my Apps because it's asking for an old Apple ID.  I can't remember that password.  I have a new Apple ID that I have set up under General for everything, including the App store.
    I deleted that app that was purchased using the old Apple ID, but I still can't update the Apps.  When you open the App Store, and scroll down to Favorites , the NEW ID is listed  but it still wants the OLD ID to update Apps.
    I logged into ALL of my Apple IDs (my phone, husband's phone, kids' iPod, and the iPad) and made sure the Old ID was not listed anywhere.  It's not.
    How can I get rid of the OLD Apple ID and sign in using the NEW ID for updates?
    Thanks!

    The mistake was creating a new Apple ID, rather than changing the email address on the old one, or recovering the password for the old one. If you had done either of these there would be no problem with the apps acquired using the old ID, as the apps are associated with the account, not the email address that you used at the time you got them.

  • Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

    Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
    I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
    Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
    Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation.  There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

    It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones.  I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

  • How can i delete my old apple id account?

    please someone can tell me,how delete my old apple id account?

    You cannot delete an Apple ID; just remove any/all personal information and it'll fade into obscurity. Remember that anything you purchased at the app store will need that Apple ID and password to be updated.
