Apple ID

New Mac Pro. Initial setup gave new Apple ID and I should not have for I already had and Apple ID. I choose to have the new Apple ID deleted but now not able to use my existing apple id. The old Apple ID keeps popping up asking for password. But cannot access since it was deleted. How do I get my Mac to only recognize my existing Apple ID that I used on my IPHONE as my primary Apple ID for my new Mac? Help!!!

Do you really deleted it? or do you set up a new one?


You are sign in here .  .  .  with your Apple ID (?)

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.


Check your existing Apple ID via your email box, see this Apple article: If you forgot your Apple ID
