Dec 31, 2012 7:57 PM in response to ladybug0308by samulla10,i have a lot of purchases from both mac apple store and iphone for school, if i delete the icloud account that USED TO WORK, I'll lose all of the purchases won't I?
i have tried everything people have suggested. I've backed up, restored, deleted account, tried a new account but the same thing keeps happening that my email and password aren't recognized..
i don't get it

Jan 15, 2013 2:46 AM in response to samulla10by Migiitz,Yeah, that's dumb advice. Don't delete your old ID if you're not sure you keep your purchases, warranties etc.

Aug 13, 2014 10:06 AM in response to melimendez77by kite_rider,The problem is that it will not let you delete the old AppleID unless you have a password for it - and I don't.

Aug 14, 2014 11:02 AM in response to wegrasby kite_rider,I have a working password for my current AppleID. My previous AppleID email address changed, but iCloud held onto this old e-mail address for some unknown reason. The password does not work for that OLD account. iCloud asks for the password for this OLD account whenever I try to delete it or to disable 'find my iPad'.
There is a support bulletin that is supposed to address this situation;
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
But this advice is flawed. It says; "
- Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
- Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
The part about 'You shouldn't need to verify the email address' is NOT true. When I go into iCloud after changing my ID address back to the old address (which I can not access to verify) - it says 'ACCOUNT NOT VERIFIED Check your email... for instructions to verify this account.' All of the options in iCloud are grey'd out at this point.
EDIT: On a second attempt I was able to delete the iCloud account on my iPAD with this method. So the advice on the tech bulletin above worked for me after a second attempt.

Aug 14, 2014 11:00 AM in response to kite_riderby kite_rider,Correction to my last post!
I was able to delete the iCloud account even though the e-mail address on the updated AppleID was not verified. So this tech bulletin worked after all on my second attempt.
Thanks
