How am I goin to delete my old apple Id account? I created new account and I wanted to delete my old account and use the new one. Every time I tried to updates all,the applications the old account is popping up and I can't access it.

You can now delete an account (and therefore all of its purchases) : How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support

And you can buy the apps (and music etc.) on the new account

This problem is real and not isolated to a few instances. I think this is unacceptable and Apple should find a fix for this.

Fix what? Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID used when making the purchase. Commerce laws and developer’s intellectual property rights mean it is not possible to transfer purchases between AppleID’s (as is true with almost all online user Id linked software and content licenses).

There is nothing to fix. If you change Appleids you lose the purchases tied to the previous AppleID and will have to purchase them anew. That’s not going to change because Apple has no legal rights to make such a change. Apple does not own the software you purchased licenses for - they merely manage the distribution of that 3rd party owned code. So Apple has no right to transfer ownership of something they don’t own to anyone else or any other online store ID.

You would have to contact Apple and see what they say. If you haven’t yet contacted them there is a ‘contact Support’ link at the top right of every page on here (I assume that you’ve already deleted all of the account’s downloads).

So do you know or do you not know the Apple ID that is signed in to iCloud?

If you do know it, and its password, then you can sign out. You cannot have it all hooked onto one ID and have a different passwords at the same time.

You cannot have it both ways. They are either the same account, or different accounts. you can't have one account with 2 different passwords.

Also signing out does not in any way remove any credit balance you may have on your account. You can sign out of the account and its associated balance will remain with it. It does not get wiped out.

If the account logged in to iCloud is different to the one you use for the App Store and the iTunes Store, then logging out of iCloud will have no effect on the other account whatsoever.

If its the same account as the one logged in for the App Store and iTunes, then logging out will still not affect the account or its balance, it will just be logged out of iCloud.

If you do not know the account that is logged into iCloud, then you will need to wipe the Mac to remove it. This however, would have nothing to do with what account you use for Software Updates.

If you have a mess of accounts with different ones logged in to icloud, associated with the operating system and apps,

logged into the store etc... Apple did not cause this, and there is nothing they need or can fix.

Instead of automatically blaming Apple for something you caused, perhaps understanding how it works and how it can be solved would be better.

The first thing to do is to understand what accounts are signed in where.

There's 5 different paces an account can be signed in on a Mac. iCloud, Mac App Store, iTunes, Messages, and Facetime. The Apps themselves can be associated with an account, this is generally the same one used with the Mac App Store, but can be a different one if they were downloaded with one account, but then the account for the Mac App Store was changed to a different one.

I can not sign into the old account because it won't let me.. every time get a new a code.. it doesn't work.

Contact Customer Support and have them help you with that. There is a link at the top right of every page in these forums.

Please change my account in new one

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. We cannot change anything. We have no idea who you are, or what your old account was, or what your new account was.

Furthermore, Apple does not move information from old accounts to new accounts. It was a big mistake to create a new account, because everything purchased or downloaded with the old account is now lost to you. The correct procedure would have been to change your Apple ID on the old account to a different email address, which would have preserved your purchases and settings. You can probably still do that.

Yes me too how to delete my old apple ID?

Had you bothered to read even just the previous single page of posts you’d already have the answer to your question. See:

Legal - Privacy Policy - Apple and scroll down to the section “Access to Personal Information”

Note that deleting an AppleID deletes all purchases associated with it. All apps, songs, movies, eBook etc purchased under the AppleID will need to be purchased again with your new AppleID. All iCloud data associated with the deleted AppleID will also be lost unless archived somewhere else.

You can ask Apple via the feedback site if you wish to. But legally, there are limitations on merging any online account which is tied to individual use software licenses and subscriptions. You cannot merge MS store accounts, Xbox accounts, PS4 accounts, etc since the items purchased with the account are not owned by the account holder, but simply licensed for use by that individual.

The only way round this is to delete the apps that you used that is for and download under the new. So future updates are tied to new ID. Failing that.. don't use Apple products.

If you mean get the account, and its purchases, deleted : How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support

To get rid of it in the apps or other websites you can go into settings on the iPad >accounts and passwords and individually dejete the old one . I’d leave Apple.com with the old one though.

Hi I forgot my password for old ID and tried contacting you for recovery i missed calls an finally gave up however I have new iPad and would like to retrieve my contacts etc onto new IPAd and delete old account can you help please

What exactly do you want to do ? If you want the account disabled type in the wrong password a number of times. If you just want to stop using it remove personal details from it (e.g. payment details), cancel and subscriptions/pre-orders on it, delete all of its downloads, and stop using it
