Old deleted apple id

On my mother's iPad my old apple id keeps popping up and telling her to log into it but that ID I deleted so I don't know why it keeps popping up, and I can't even log into it if I wanted to, how do I fix this?

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

Are there any apps on that device that were purchased with the deleted AppleID? Are the popups telling her to sign into the App Store to update some apps? If so, just delete those apps and download them again from the store using the current AppleID.

AppleID accounts do not disappear - unless the account is deliberately permanently closed by its owner. As described, the iPad is associated with your Mother’s AppleID account. If the account has been formally closed, dire warnings of the consequences, prior to fully signing-out of the AppleID on devices, will have been seen prior to account closure.


If the AppleID credentials have been forgotten, your Mother should be able to recover them here:

To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:

  • Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
  • Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
  • Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID


Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:
