IPhone :: How To Delete Old Purchases From Unknown Account?
May 16, 2010
I just purchased a used unlocked /jb'd 3g iphone. There was left some pretty nasty purchased music on it that I want off of it. How can I delete these old purchases from an unknown account?
I have two children who have shared an Apple ID for the iPod Touches. The older is now getting an iPhone and is old enough to manage his own ID. My question is, if we set him up with a completely new Apple ID, will he be able to sync the phone with iTunes as a new device, even though iTunes currently syncs with his iPod? I guess what I'm asking is, can two different Apple ID's/devices sync with the same iTunes without messing up either device or getting the wrong information sync'd?
"Updating to iOS 5.1.1 will delete all of the apps and media, including iTunes Store purchases, on your iPhone. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync apps, music videos, and photos. Updating on this computer will only preserve contacts, calendars, text messages, and other settings. Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete. iTunes will verify the software update with Apple." What do I do now? My only options on the pop up are cancel or update.
When installing iOS 5 I somehow linked my iCloud to my moms account both on my iPhone and iPad. If I select the delete account button at the bottom of the iCloud settings, will it delete the account off of my moms phone too? She would rather not delete her iCloud account.

I have never tried in-app purchases so I am not even sure if what I am getting is normal or should it work.I downloaded an app and when I click on buy a window pops up and says " Checking Purchase request" then it just goes away and nothing happens. No error, no popup no clue what it even did.I removed appsync as suggested by a few sites but it still isn't working.
Since it's been a week since the launch, has anyone recently walked into an Apple store and bought an iPhone that wasn't reserved? I would call the Apple store and just ask about them, but it is obviously late and they aren't open anymore here.
So I went to transfer purchases from my iPhone today, and something weird came up.Screen shot 2010-08-03 at 8.42.21 PM.png..iTunes is automatically putting in this guy's email address into the Apple ID field.I don't know who this guy is, but I'm sure he's not happy about his email just floating around in random people's iTunes accounts.So why would this be happening?My whole library is empty at the moment since I'm waiting on the optibay converter to deliver.My iPhone has never been with anyone else.I don't have anybody in my phone as the email address.My address book on OSX is empty as well except with my contact, and it has my email address in it.I did jailbreak my iPhone yesterday if that has anything to do with it.
I installed a hotmail account on my iPhone 3GS but it doesn't work. So I decide to delete it but then to my surprise, there's nothing like "Delete mail account" button to click. I've searched all over the mail settings area on the iPhone for a clue on how to delete it, but I can't find anything.I once installed the mail exchange account and it is extremely easy to delete it once I don't want it anymore.This time the hotmail account is not like that and I'm totally stuck.Do you guys know how to delete the hotmail account?
How do I delete the apple id and password I use on my iPhone and just use the one on my MacBook for both devices. When I bought my iPhone I tried to set up my apple id on the phone using the same username and password as on my MacBook but it didn't like my password on the iPhone.The password was acceptable on the MacBook but the iPhone required a more complicated password. So, I set up a separate Apple id on my iPhone and now I have two apple ids and I'd like to delete one and just use one for both devices.
I Recently noticed that the user name associated with iCloud on my iPhone 5s is in another name. (Probably the previous owner) I could have sworn I changed this when first bought it but obviously not. Anyway, I want to change it to my user name now and seem to be having difficulty doing so. It won't let me delete account to add a new one in my name unless the previous password associated with the old owner is put in, and I don't have that now. It also won't let me switch off find my iphone unless old password is typed in, but it did let me turn it on without old password........strange.Â
ANyway, I have tried contacting the person I bought it off but no answer. The phone itself works perfectly, it's just I can't log into iCloud or delete old users iCloud without the password.Â
Ive got an iPhone 4 that I don't use any more and the original apple ID that I had was problematic and it was changed when I received my new phone. Now the problem I have is that in order to sell my old phone I need to delete the iCloud account but can't remember the old password and I can retrieve any information because the ID doesn't exist any more!Â
I have a godaddy email account from a previous employer. I know how to delete an email account, however when I try to do this with this particular email account I do not have a delete button. How else can I delete an account?
Once I got my iphone it was set to someone else ITunes account in my family but I made my own iTunes account and I now want to delete the song from the other persons account but I don't know how?
I have an iPhone4 which had a previous owner and I'm trying to delete the email account associated with FaceTime but I do not know the password to the account. Is there anyway that I can change the default account without having the password to login?
