I want to use a new Apple ID but be able to transfer my photo library to my new ID. The reason being my old ID has 2 email accounts that will not remove. Apple tech have even tried but they could not remove them
iPhone 11, iOS 14
If you are using iCloud Photos, you would need to sign out of the Apple ID on a device, iPhone, iPad or Mac, and when asked wether to keep the photos answer yes. Then when signing into the new one, you would need to turn on iCloud Photo Library in settings for the saved photos on the device to sync to iCloud again.
If not using iCloud Photo Library, then you don't need to do anything as the photos would be locally stored on the device.
With that said, are you sure the can't be removed? And why is that a problem? Where are these email addresses exactly?
If you follow the steps in the support document you posted from can you not see and remove the addresses from there?
Thanks for your reply, I wish to delete an @icloud account and a @me account they were add years ago by my son and i have never been able to delete them. The problem is if I'm not careful they appear as the default account when sending an email and as they no longer have mailboxes i can miss replies.
Make sure the addresses are not added to the iPhone under Settings->Mail->Accounts.
Also, unless they were aliases off the main account and were deleted, they would not stop existing or be able to be used unless they were requested to be deleted by Apple directly.
iCloud accounts will continue to exist and have mailboxes unless you request the deletion to Apple specifically. And this has only been possible in the last couple of years.
