Old Apple IDs in New iPhone

Received my 'new' iPhone 6 from Verizon in the mail yesterday. When I set it up, there were already 2 apple IDs (none of which were mine) in the device. How could there be AppleIDs in the device if this is a new phone?

Multiple Apple IDs on one iPhone 5S

I recently got an Iphone 5s. I've had several iPODs. and had to disable one of my emails that my Apple ID was linked to. However, that Apple ID has not been used for several years. I didn't manage to find it. However, I'd like to have both my new and old Apple IDs on my iPhone 5S so I can get all my apps, books, music, and stuff on my phone, how is this possible. Since the old email address that is linked to the old AppleID is disconnected?
What steps do I take to link my old and new Apple IDs onto my iPhone without disconnecting the other.
Thanks,
Tanya

Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.

I want to delete all old Apple IDs.

These old Apple IDs are linked to old email addresses that don't exist any more. When i try to delete old Apple ID it requests a password. I forgot that password. What do I do. The reason why I want to do this is because my iphone 4 cant be synced to my computer. When I sync it prompts me to auhorize the phone. which I already did.

It's a completely separate iTunes account, it's not the same account that you have since updated the primary email address on ?
You should be able to get the password reset by answering the account's security questions on http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't remember your answers then Support in your country should be able to reset the password (and its security questions) : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security.
If you do contact iTunes Support/Apple and they agree to delete the account then you will lose access to all of the account's purchases and will no longer be able to potentially redownload them or authorise them on a new computer.

To the OP, you can ignore Philo124's post.
No, it Applies if you download content from one then switch to another and download content from the other. Automatically or not.

Not sure if its only limited to past purchases or new ones as well though.

HT5622 how to get rid of an old apple ID on my iphone 5 . the ID belongs to a store where I bought my phone ,and it's in a different country ??

How to get rid of an old Apple ID on my iphone 5 ? The ID belongs to a store I bought my iphone from ,and it's in another country.

You can't. That's the new security feature of iOS7 that users (and others) requested to prevent stolen devices from being restored by theives and reused. Contact the "store" you purchased your phone from and see what they say.

How to keep your old number with a new iPhone

I find this confusing.
I have an iPhone 4 with an AT&T contract.
I am eligible for an upgrade and have ordered an iPhone 5 from Apple.
What steps do I have to take to keep my old telephone number on the new iPhone 5?
I believe this answer from AT&T is nonsense:
Upon reviewing your account I have found the following information. In
order for you to utilize the iPhone 5 on your current phone number, you
must return the iPhone 4 you recently purchased. You will be charged the
restocking fee for the return. You must return it with the original
packaging to the location from which the device was purchased. I show
that you purchased the device at an Apple store.
They can also assist you with preordering an iPhone 5. Once they have
processed your return of the iPhone 4, it should allow them to pre-order
your iPhone 5.
Can anyone _please_ tell me how I go about keeping my old number when the new iPhone arrives?
Many thanks.

you should never have to return the product once you bought and are under contract. At no point can they make you return it.
As far as the iPhone 5 is concerned, just like Brad said, activate it through itunes and if a problem arises just call att.

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

How do I update my Apple ID email address on iPhone and iPad after changing the email but not password. I have verified my new email on iPhone iPad and iMac but settings on all for iCloud still show my old email address. I can't use anything now that needs my Apple ID
This solved my question by pedro d on Sep 24, 2013 3:08 PM
Hello there, Chivs86.
From what it sounds like you are wanting to sign out of iCloud with the "old" ID and sign in with the new. The following Knowledge Base article should help you with that issue:
iCloud: Features that work with one account at a time on iOS 5 and OS X Lion or later
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
Specifically:
To change a secondary account to a primary account
iOS 5 or later:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Delete the secondary account.
Tap the Back button.
Tap iCloud.
Delete the primary account.
Add the secondary account that you want to be your primary account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

If the old Apple ID password does not work, you will need to contact the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or try going to http://iforgot.apple.com and see if you can get it changed through that portal.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

How to transfert my SMS from my old Android to my new iPhone ?

Hi,
All is in the title : How to transfert my SMS from my old Android to my new iPhone ?
Is here an app to do this ??
I'm in iOS 8.2 and my Android 4.4
Thanks.

You can't
I'm sorry, but the iPhone can only build a new conversation, no import of another platform.
Archive the old conversations on your computer and reference if needed. That's the best I've got.
