Old email ID does not match Apple password

When I try to get an App from the App Store, I am unable to login with my Apple ID. I noticed that Apple has an old, inactive email ID, so my password does not match. How do I get rid of the old email ID?

Well Apple just doesn't create Apple ID on their own. You very likely created a new Apple ID rather than changing your email address in the old one.
You can change the email address associted with the old Apple ID by logging in to My Apple ID. Be aware though that you may have trouble using the email address of your NEW Apple ID since one of the prerequisites is that the email address can not already be in use.
This is important because apps and other content (including free content) are forever tied to the Apple ID used to make the purchase.

    Easy fix... it's a refresh issue. Sign out and back in with changed name.

  • Can not view cellular data account any more (email address does not match)

    On iPad, was originally able to go into Settings > Cellular Data > View Account and view the account info. Now cannot. If try using correct email address and password, get message that account or password are incorrect. If try entering just the email address and clicking "forgot password", get "the email address you entered does not match the email address on file for this device".
    But the 3G cellular is still working.
    Don't know if related, but this problem began after the reports of the 100,000 iPads/users hack. Leads me to wonder if I got hacked.... or more likely if the system/database that "View Account" normally accesses is offline or being reworked by AT&T.
    Any suggestions? Best AT&T contact via Internet? By phone #? By local AT&T store? Via Apple? Use iTunes to reset to factory defaults and start over (risk loss of unlimited plan?)?.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies, I just had the same problem yesterday and it was a misspelled e-mail address, BUT, it did take me three calls to AT&T and more than two and a half hours. The first person didn't even know what I was talking about and gave me a number for iPad support which turned out to be Apple's, so... no help. The second person told me they were there only to solve iPhone problems until I read her your posts, then she tried and tried until the call was cut off (this is AT&T after all). But the third person finally understood, even though it took her almost an hour to get to their iPad support department (she told me it was busy all the time) not before trying with their "technical department" also. I just can't believe that Apple sells millions of these things and AT&T can't supply a direct phone number for this department, or doesn't even train their personnel.

  • Trying to send pix in iPhoto and get message email server does not recognize username/password combination.

    apple message when trying to send an email " email does not recognize username/password.

    Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete the email account and add it back. 
    The better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as iPhoto's email client in iiPhoto's General preference pane.  That gives you better access to your Contacts, a sent copy and templates similar to iPhoto's in the stationary section of Mail.

  • How can I change my Apple ID that is set up with an old email that does not exist anymore

    I set up an Apple ID years ago with a hotmail email account. I also deleted that hotmail email account years ago. I now have a gmail email. I cannot back up anything to icloud because of my apple id that is connected to the hotmail email account that does not exist anymore. To change my ID, apple sends a verification email to my old hotmail account which i cannot access, and it also says my gmail account is my rescue account, so I wouldn't be able to change it to my gmail account anyway.  Any ideas? I'd like my ID to be associated with my one and only current gmail email account. I have a lot of songs that I've spent a lot of money on over the years that I don't want to lose.

  • Email server does not recognise username/password combination.

    When emailing photos from iPhoto I get a message saying the email server did not recognise my username or password combination.
    I've tried selecting both my @me and @hotmail addresses and the same message appears. I'm also unable to email myself from iPhoto.
    I've also tried emailing the photos from my Mail - but the iPhoto application uploads, rather than giving me the option to select individual images. I don't have any problems sending and receiving normal messages in Mail, and I have checked that my password/Apple ID is correct.
    I'm clearly missing the blatently obvious here ... so any words of wisdom will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks ... I'll have a go at deleting the account and re-entering it.
    To clarify - when using Mail, I have clicked on the Media Browser (top right), where my Iphoto images appear with a scroll bar. When I click on an image, a box appears with the image and a 'Play' button (as if It's a movie clip - which it isn't). I'm unable to attach it to the message.
    As an alternative, I've also tried clicking on Attachment ... but when I click on iPhoto, the application logo uploads as the attachment. I can't fathom how to select individual images.
    Does that make any sense ...?
    Needless to say, I'm new to iMac.

  • I cannot update my aps because when I want to sign in I keep getting an old email address which is not registered anymore and does not match a password. Why do I not get my valid registered email address to sign in?

    I cannot update my aps because I keep getting an old invalid email address to sign in although I deleted it and replaced it months ago. It is not mentioned anymore in my account . So why does it still come up and interfere?

    Apps bought bought from that old Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID. So you need to login into that account to update that app.

  • Query for Old Data that does not match New Data within a given time period

    Hello all,
    One of the reports I need to create is for all associates who went from one department to another within a given time period. The way I ran this report in Reportsmith (pulling from our old system) was to compare the dept field from the beginning date to the dept field at the end date and it would give me those associate's that had moved. I had to do it this way b/c dept changes can happen using several different types of actions (supv change, promotion, etc.), none of them exclusive to just dept changes. We are now using Oracle HRMS and I need to create this same report with this system using SQL.
    Does anyone know how to compare data between two different dates and pull the ones that don't match? Your help will be GREATLY appreciated!
    Warm Regards,

    Hi, Yasmin,
    In the sample data you posted, nobody changed departments between May 1 and May 11. In fact, there were no assignments of any kind between January 16 and May 17, so I wouldn't expect any output for that period.
    A person (or rather, a duck) did change deptartments on May 20, so if you change the upper limit of the date range to
    AND    ASG_LAST_UPDATE_DATE < TO_DATE ('05/21/09', 'MM/DD/RR')you should see her.

  • Apps ID does not match apple id

    My first iPad had a Comcast.net apple and apps ID.  I gave this one to my daughter and purchased an ipad2.  We are both having issues purchasing apps.  My ipad2 account shows a gmail.com address, but when I try to purchase an app the box come sup with the Comcast Apple ID.  She has a similar issue with ther, my old one, showing two addresses.

    There only seems to be one email address there and it is the right one.

  • GMail IMAP All Mail does not match Apple Mail

    I have a GMail account that I also access via Apple Mail setup as IMAP. I've been trying to delete some emails from this GMail account. I first did the delete in Apple Mail (AM) but somehow the deleted emails would show up a few minutes later. So next I did the delete directly on the web based GMail account. After I got done, the emails seemed to have been deleted on my GMail account. At this time I had ~11,000 items in the GMail All Mail folder.
    But when I looked at AM, the IMAP Gmail All Mail has over 21,000 items which includes all of the items I had deleted from GMail.
    I tried deleting the IMAP account all together and made sure that the GMail IMAP folders in the Library was removed. Then I recreated the IMAP account in AM and within about 30 minutes, all of the 21,000 items including the emails that no longer exists in the web based GMail account came back.
    I like the convenience of having access to All Mail in my AM but it seems I don't have control over the contents. Can anyone explain what is going on and how I might be able to actually delete the files within AM?

    "what I mean is that you have two copies of everything in Apple Mail. everything that's in your gmail inbox in Mail or in any of the other mailboxes is duplicated in the All mail mailbox."
    I don't keep them in both places, after I have read the message and have responded, I delete the message from my AM inbox because I know a backup already exists in All Mail.
    this is up to you and you can do as you like but this is the long way to do it and you'll be fighting gmail as you are if you keep using it. it's much simpler IMO to keep messages you don't want to delete in your inbox. as it is you do download every message twice even if you delete one copy afterward.
    I want to clean out all of the junk mail that gets kept by GMail in All Mail and that is why I am trying to delete these items.
    that's just it. there is no easy way to do it. All Mail is the master mailbox for everything you ever received. gmail wants to keep all of them forever and they are hard to get rid of.
    I seem to have deleted them from the web GMail but they keep showing back up in the AM All Mail. That must mean GMail is still keeping these "deleted" items somehow/somewhere so that when I create a new IMAP account, AM is downloading them again.
    I suspect you haven't emptied trash in webmail gmail.

  • Email server does not recognize username/password

    When I am in iphoto and want to share a picture via email, it comes back with email/server didn't recognize your username/password combination.

    WHat version of iPhoto? For iPhoto '11 in the iPHoto preferences under accounts delete the account and re-enter it - you may need to contact tech support for you e-mail service for settings
    Or IMHO the better solution is to simply set Mail as the default email client for iPhoto
