[QUOTE="wizardchef, post: 1441367, member: 265975"] OK. I just encountered what I am talking about. I changed my password for my Apple ID and assumed all of my other backup addresses would carry the same ID. I also changed the email I would use as my primary Apple login. Then, just now I got a message on my iMac that iCloud could not log in. It was using a different login name and it required an old password for me to get in. To make matters more confusing, my iPhone just gave the same message that it couldn't log into iCloud, and it used one of my secondary emails as the login. This one required the master password I had just reset for my Apple ID. Why? What is going on? Does Apple have a different password for iCloud, for the Apple apps, for the Apple ID?????? On different devices??? --- upon reflection, this must be because I have set up two Apple Ids. ??? and, I understand you cannot delete an Apple ID once it is set up. Is that correct? [/QUOTE]
