I have 2 old iTunes accounts associated with my various apple devices and I no longer have those 2 email addresses. My new iPhone keeps asking me for the passwords for iCloud... How can I delete the iTunes accounts when the domains for the email addresses no longer exists?
You cannot delete old accounts. You should never make new accounts, just change the e-mail address for the one you are always using. Any purchases you make with an old account are tied permanently to that account and cannot be transferred.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
"I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs."
"How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Select your country and language, enter your desired changes, then click the Continue button. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information."

Unfortunately this was long ago and the person has died, but I haven't had any problems until I updated to a new phone. The simple solution seems to be to delete apps that were purchased with the other accounts and reload them. It's working so far. Thank you.
