Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue.

I created a new Apple ID and I didn't sign out with my old one and now I'm unable to get into my apps to update or anything else. Is anyone able to help me with this?
Hi Timothy Kolk,
Did you create a new Apple ID or rename the old one?
Either way, since the Apple ID can be used in many places, check out this article for help changing it in all the right places.

How do i sign out of an old apple Account so i can use my new account
How do i sign out of an old apple account so i can begin using my new apple account
Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID) -
I changed my apple Id email because I needed a more recent email and forgot my old password, now I need to sign out of my old Apple Id and don't know how. Help???
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -
I delete my iCloud account and got a new one but the previous iCloud account is keep showing up.what do I do??
You have to sign out of the old one and then sign back in with the new one. On an iOS device it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just disengage the device from it). On a Mac it's System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.

My wi-fi on my iPhone 4S is not working after updating to ios7 which was working perfectly fine before. It is a few weeks out of warranty now and the Apple store wants me to pay £160 for a new one, are they joking?!

How do you sign out of your old apple id if your old id is no longer valid?
My old Apple id is no longer valid as the email I used has been discontinued by the service provider. I now use a new apple id to log onto my devices and FaceTime but unable to do the same for iCloud. It keeps asking for my old Apple id password which a) I have forgotten and b) i can no longer retrieve given as the old Apple id is invalid.

If I have [email protected] (not my email nor Apple ID), & get rid of comcast so I no longer have access to the email, I log into appleid.apple.com & rename it to [email protected] (not my email nor Apple ID). If I've forgotten to sign out of iCloud on my iDevices, all I have to do is log into appleid.apple.com with [email protected], rename my Apple ID to [email protected] (skip verifying) go to settings then iCloud & sign out (It will be your current password incase you didn't know...) it will allow you to do so..
If I on the other hand, create a NEW Apple ID & not rename it, best options to call apple & have them assist with trying to reset password so you can sign out.
It isnt made clear to me in his question. (In my opinion) He does say "my new Apple ID" but people can call their newly renamed emails/ Apple IDs, their new Apple ID.. -
new one wont receive my playlists from my library. what am i doing wrong? It looks like they are synched and i have the latest version of itunes on both but the only way to access my music is through the store
See:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all your synced media like apps and music is in your iTunes library then simply:
- Backup to iTunes.
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
For how to do both see:

Hi, i have recently purchased an i-phone 4s and had been merrily playing away and set up an i cloud account. However when i tried to access i cloud from my pc i couldn't verify it. I had to change my apple id because i no longer had access to my old e-mail. I managed to sort out my i-phone and change all the accounts to my new apple i.d (except game centre? don't know how to do that yet.) but when i signed out of my old i-cloud account on my pc and tried to sign in with my new apple id it just tries to connect (i get the i'm thinking about it wheel) for ages; not allowing me to log on.
Help!Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

can't update apps on my iPhone 4s cos it says my daughter's Apple ID password is required: even though I'm signed in via my Apple ID in settings (she uses my Mac for her itunes and didn't sign out, i synced my phone and it's been like this ever since). And there's no option of signing her out, it seems? GRRRRR!

Sorry, have I misunderstood you?
If you have forgotten your password, then how did you create a new password? You cannot simply "create a new password" after forgetting the original one.
How would you get into the account so that you could change it? -
I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?
Hi sharonpalencia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
Have a great day,

How do I sign out of my old ID & sign in w/ my new Apple ID. My old ID that is no longer valid is what shows when I want to update some apps.
On your iPad...
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?
No, you will not loose anything. However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.
