Removing old e-mail adresses

Mail's auto fill feature reverts to an older e-mail address rather than the new one in my Address Book. Is there a way to delete the old address from the list. For one friend I have four older addresses still appearing in the pop-up list. Are the addresses stored in a pref file I can edit?

in Mail go to Window menu->previous recipients and delete the obsolete addresses there.

    Basically they asked be four questions. Which I answered to the best of my ability and I was just told no and the rep just tried to close the chat.... Even though I asked what was wrong etc.  
    I have offered to send transcripts of the last conversations I had as my contacts have these records but that did not help..  This is so frustrating as I have had that account for I guess about 9 years.  
    Anyone any other ideas.

    unfortunately, I think if you will not be able to verify the details that they are requesting, there may be no more way for you to regain access to your account.  Yet, you can still try to contact customer support again to ask what your other possible options are.

  • Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore. When chose for secret question brth date seems wrong. Can't reach anyone!!!

    Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

    That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

    how can I update my application Docs To Go with my new ID and new password? I forgot my old password and don't have my old e-mail adress. When I answer the question about my age it says that it is not the right date!!!!

    Hi Guys,
    I've sorted it  
    All I needed to do was add my old e-mail address - not as the primary but as an alias. This allowed me to delete the account on my iPhone 4S and re-sign in with the correct e-mail address.
    Happy now  

  • How do I remove old e-mail addresses from the Mail Memory?

    I have friends who have changed the e-mail addresses, and quite some time ago also. But everytime I write their name in the address field, it still brings up the old address as an option. And if I'm not paying attention it sends to the old address.
    If there a way to clear the Mail memory so that it won't use old addresses?
    Thanks.

    You cannot transfer any purchases made using the old Apple ID to the new one. Either you repurchase them under the new Apple ID or see if Apple can transfer them for you.

  • I have changed my primary e-mail adress

    I have changed my primary e-mail adress which is base of appleid. But icloud and iphone itself insist on using old e-mail adress. How can ı change it on IPhone.
    I can not reser the device and features at all...

    To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished 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.

  • I have most of my music stored on my old iphone. i bought a new I pad, and signed up with a new e mail adress as my old one is defunct. How do i change my e mail adress to the new one, because it keeps telling me apple id already in use.

    You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
    You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account

    Hello,
    Try Mail>Preferences>Accounts icon>Account Information tab>Click on the Outgoing SMTP server drop down, choose edit Server list, highlight the old one & click Remove.
    (Such convolution is worthy of Windows® in my estimation)

  • How can I remove my old e-mail I no longer use  also it does not have my birth date correct how can I change it?

    How can I remove an old e-mail that I am no longer using?
    How can I correct my birthdate?

    If you have an email account that you want to delete, go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Email Account>Delete account.
    If you have on old Apple ID that keeps popping up when you update apps, that old ID will always be tied to those apps and you must continue to use that ID and password when you update those apps.
    If you want to completely sign out of that old account, and nothing on your iPad is still tied to it, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores. Tap on the old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the new one
    For the incorrect birthday go to here.

I'd like to able to delete the old one and other addresses that I no longer use. I can easily reset Safari, but I don't see what I need under Mail Preferences.

  • I have changed my e-mail in I-tunes, but when I shall update apps in the IPhone, the old mail adress is still there. Where/how do I change the mailadress in my IPhone?

    I have changed my e-mail address in I-Tunes. i have synced my IPhone with I-Tunes, but the old e-mail address still appears in the IPhone when I shell verify my account when I shall update my apps.
    Where/how do I get the e-mail address changed in the IPhone?

  • I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it

    I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again..      I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

    You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
    When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.
