An OLD INACTIVE email address, asking for a password, continues to show up to play certain selections in my iTunes Music Library. I want to REMOVE this old email address, HOW DO I REMOVE IT!! All attempts to remove it have failed!
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.0.2
You cannot delete an Apple ID. You can just stop using it. You apparently have items in your iTunes Library that were purchased using that old Apple ID. You need to remove them from the Library and re-purchase them using your current Apple ID.
Kappy, thank you for that. But, does that mean that if and when, I acquire another internet provider, hence a new email address, that I will not have access to all of the purchases I have made for the past several years with my current ID??
Yes, if you change your Apple ID to your new email address. You don't have to. Under those sort of situations you can speak to Apple about transferring your purchased items to the new Apple ID, and see if they will help you.
You don't lose access to your older purchased items, you simply cannot update or re-download them or, in some cases, use them without providing the old Apple ID and password. All purchased items are permanently tied to the Apple ID used at time of purchase.
