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.

Actually no it is not. My initial Apple ID was 1 word and then Apple FORCED everyone to create a new Apple ID using an email address.

Like Michael, I've had the same Apple ID since it was just a username. I'm on my second email address with this Apple ID as well. As things in my life change, I update it.

I don’t have access to the email associated with my old Apple ID so I changed it. However, on both my iPad and my iPhone, it keeps popping up (my old Apple ID) and making me sign in. I’m tired of having to do this every time! Any suggestions?

I have two accounts and would love to transfer everything into one account but what I am reading that is not possible. I am sure in 2019 it is possible but Apple doesn't want to help do this.. because they want you to re buy everything.

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.

I am ready for a new phone but I am thinking iPhone is out of the question this time.

I have forgotten my old email password. I now have a new email address but the old one keeps popping up whenever I try to get an app so I can go no further because I've forgotten the password. I understand I can't delete my old email address but I would like to move forward with my new email address/apple id. How do I do this? Thanks for your help.

I agree. Apple needs to solve this problem. As much as this system costs, I shouldn’t have to do anything myself.

All this started when they began adding email extensions way back. With the old systems it still worked, but now it’s causing issues. I don’t have as much control over my ID as I used to either. In the beginning, we could delete our ID’s ourselves.

• Apple - either fix this problem, or give us back our control.

This is a reaccuring issue for me, if we're not for my work I would never have an apple device however a recent change in jobs and eamil addresses I also no longer have access to my old work email meaning I can't get reset info sent to it. I have disabled the old account 3 different times however some apps continue to ask for the old ID login info. Currently I am stuck having to pay again for the only app I use all because apple some how associates that app with my old ID. Fun fun, wish someone could fix this.

Hey! So if I have created another account already all I’m going, to have to do is, just delete my old apps and add them bk to my new account?? But I did her something about disabling the old account as well.... How?

Obviously you don’t understand the problem. There is something to fix. The old ID keeps popping up, wanting a password, and it seems impossible to delete it or stop it. And when I say it keeps popping up, I literally mean every 2.3 seconds! That IS a problem that needs a fix

I don't think I should have to go through all that trouble, Apple Support should be able to delete the Old ID and Install the new one for their customers.I have been to The Apple store in Tampa only for them to tell me I have to go on line,went on line,we are sorry you have to go to the store for them to download all my information and them restore it to my device and it MAY WORK THAT WAY!!! WHAT kind of help is that.

You cannot change an Apple ID that uses an icloud email account as its name to a 3rd party email address.

Details here: Change the email address you use as your Apple ID - Apple Support

If you use an @icloud.com, @mac.com, or @me.com email address as your Apple ID, you can’t change it to a third party email address. But, you can change it to an alias of your Apple ID address. For example, if j.appleseed@icloud.com is your Apple ID and you also have j.appleseed@me.com on file in your account, you can change your Apple ID to j.appleseed@me.com. When you change your email address, the Apple ID that people see when they share with you also changes.

This isn't necessarily true. For example, with our Adobe Accounts - we were able to move the accounts into a parent account and all that data merged into the new account. Another instance with Adobe is that we were able to merge two accounts with different email addresses into the most recent. Adobe does this for cyber security reasons to reduce the opportunity for hackers to gain access. Orphaned accounts can easily be spoofed/hacked.

You apparently either didn't read Michael Black's post or didn't understand it. Adobe OWNS the licenses for the products that were moved. And you said they were moved to a parent account. Apple DOES NOT own the licenses for apps and music. They are an agent for the actual copyright owners. And Apple doesn't have parent accounts. the account design is "flat" without a hierarchy.

You missed the point. Outside 3rd party licensing, merging two accounts should be possible, technically and legally

Whether is should or should not be possible, technical or legally to merge two Apple IDs, currently, it is not. No one here can change that.

I wish to cancel my standing orders for Netflix and iTunes as I'm now too old to continue with them. My old account was:

(which is now redundant)

Can you please tell me how I proceed
