Can't delete old apple ID at all

I can't delete my old Apple ID either I've tried the settings and iTunes I've tried everything!! It won't work!! My phone is an apple iPhone 5s and my phone is upgraded to iOS 10 I've followed the instructions to deleting my old apple ID STILL NOTHING!! Now I'm really getting ****** Apple should fix this problem soon before I stop getting the apple phone and I get the Samsung! 😡

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally. All updates will require you to enter the password for this ID whether you have a new one or not. The only way to stop this from happening is to delete these apps from your phone and repurchase them using a different ID.

For future reference - you can change the email address you use for your AppleID at https://appleid.apple.com/ by logging into the "manage" account section.

If you change the email address used there, your account remains the same and it would work with those old apps. However, if you create a new AppleID, then the old one still lives on, and as randers4 says, all purchases made with that old one are permanently tied to it.

You're welcome.

I know this is for iPhone but I gets same rule applies for iPad. What if you change your apple I'd and password,card details, basically everything as you giving account to another. Would then they have problems doing updates for these apps originally purchased or problems with in app purchases? I had 2 games on my partners iPad one I couldn't move to mine no in game save option, backup didn't work lost progress. So I changed my I'd, then changed his I'd to what I wanted backed up on iTunes and restored everything on my new iPad. He then created a new apple I'd with'hisnold email again and I got my games moved without loosing progress. But I can't seem to make in app purchases. It keeps saying connecting to server then when it says confirm purchase it doesn't load anything instead ask me if I want to sign in again with a existing I'd or new.

How do I change or recall my password with my old email address? This seems to be my problem. I don't want to repurchase my aps again but I can't recall the password to do the updates for my aps. Thanks.

I've tried all this and none of it is working. Now I have none of the pertinent apps, that we all pay an arm-and-a-leg for, to get through the day.

To start, I did everything the first post-person did in terms of changing ID and password on the phone and on iTunes. Then I had his same problem....I tried everything. Nothing worked. So I gave in, deleted the apps tied to the original email address (which has been hacked and I can no longer access, hence the change), and now I have no apps and no ability to download apps. And no way to get into that old email even if I wanted to.

My phone is now essentially a useless brick. I just added someone to my family plan but am now considering cancelling both our phones!

I'm having the same problem as the original post.. if I delete all of the apps and repurchase.. will it loose all my data saved in those as well??

Also, I'm trying to purchase new apps but my old ID still automatically pops up.. I've updated my new ID in itunes but how can I do it on my phone?

Any help very much appreciated thanks!

i have that problem as well...when i go to the App Store...the categories come up so i chose a free game but then a window pops up and with the old Apple ID and password?....how do i change that...please help

You can log in with any account in iTunes. From the menu bar, click Store, and at the bottom log out and back in with your new ID. On your iPhone/Pod/Pad, go to Settings, then scroll down to Store.

Bottom line, as of this minute, there is NO WAY to carry over stuff from one ID to another. The ONLY way to switch over to a new ID completely is to download ALL the apps AGAIN, with your new ID. It's crazy, and stupid. And yes, that means PAYING for any of the apps AGAIN.

I find it bizarre and obnoxious that Apple still does not address this in any way, even though its a common question on these forums for years and years.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
