How do I delete an old inactive Apple ID.? It keeps asking me for a password but the id is inactive so it won't accept. I can set up I cloud on my new ID
iPhone 5s, iOS 7
Is there a way to tell which apps are associated with the old id? Or do I have to delete all my apps and start all over again?
I signed into my apple id, updated it with a new email address, deleted the old one from the account. Then I signed out of everything icloud, itunes, app store, on both my iPad and Macbook. Then signed back in with the newer email address. I still get the pop up with the older email address. Isn't it technically still the same account just a newer updated email address.
I have done this with most of my apps, also, before I had a 16 Gig IPhone & now have a 8Gig 5c.
Not helpful. You are not listening. iPad will not accept the old password so I can't get into iTunes with the old ID. I tried "Forgot Password", but I'm forced to create a new password and that password becomes attached to my NEW ID instead.
tell me bro how i deleted my old apple id
i dont what this account
You can't delete an app while it is attempting to update.
I'm having the same problem and tried that but get the message that this is not a valid Apple id, what now?
I want to delete this account and set up a new one . how can I do it ?
You can't delete an account (only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account, which would obviously also delete its purchases). If you don't want to use an account remove any personal info from it (e.g. payment details) and stop using it (and log out anywhere that you are using it) - any apps (and music etc) that you downloaded on that account will remain tied to it, so if you don't want those apps still linked to the account delete them and (if you still want them) buy and download them on the account that you now use.
delete account
How can you find out what apps were purchased under an old Apple ID? It is annoying to continually get the message to enter the password when you don't use it anymore.
You can view an account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC - Apple Support
Or if the apps are in the My Apps section of your computer's iTunes library you can select/highlight an app and do 'get-info' (command-I on a Mac ; control-I on a PC), and the File tab on the popup will show the 'purchased by' id.
Great idea, but iTunes on my computer won't accept the old Apple id & password combination. It actually noted that my old Apple id was not a valid id. But my iPad keeps asking for the password for the old inactive account. Way to make a new iPad attractive!
As an add on it just updated ALL of my apps without the password for the inactive account that is supposedly connected to one or more of my apps.
Please delete m
Hi, I'm having the same problem, trouble is I cannot delete these apps, they do not show the x on the top right side, is there another way to delete them?
