How do you delete an iCloud account on a Mac and create a new one with a totally new iCloud email address and ID??

You can cannot delete an AppleID, you just sign out of all services, stop using it,  and start over with a new AppleID.  If your ID is an iCloud ID it cannot be changed, see this link.

To if you want to start over with a new AppleID, see this link to update all services:   Update the features and services

  • HT201342 How do I delete the iCloud email I was given and create a new one

    I had to change my email address. Now I am having trouble with my apple account and my iCloud account . Sometimes I cannot log in even though I have changed my account info as per instructed . How can I get help to fix all my account issues? Also how can I delete my old iCloud email they issued and get a new email address? It won't let me delete the old email.

    If by "email address" you mean Apple ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This will delete the account any your synced data from your iPod, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your iPod when you sign back in.
    If you are changing to a new account, be sure to choose Keep on My iPod when you delete the account.  Then choose Merge when you turn on your iCloud data syncing with the new account.

  • How do I delete an email account from my phone and add a new one?

    I have 3 Email Accounts set-up on my phone and would like to delete one and set-up a new one. The problem is that all 3 accounts are muted so I can't select one to delete. The "Add Account" button is also muted so I can't select that button either. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?

    Thank you so very much! That was just what I needed to do, problem solved.

  • HT4759 How do you delete previous icloud accounts on a used ipad?

    How do you delete iclouds from an ipad purchase second hand. An error appears and says to many iclouds are associate to the device.

    Unfortunately they can't be deleted.  If you are getting a message saying that the maximum number of free accounts have already been used, all you can do is re-use one of the accounts previously set up, or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (using OS X 10.7.2 or later), if you have one (or have a friend that does and would allow you to do this on their device).

  • How do you delete the ICloud account on a IPhone 6

    I want to change my ICloud ID but IPHONE 6 has no option for deleting ICloud account, is there another option?

    Here's how I did it:
    Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> iCloud (this had the email account that kept coming up in iCloud)
    Tap on "Sign Out"
    You will be given the opportunity to delete the account .... do it
    Now go back to iCloud and you should be presented with a screen to login to your iCloud account. It will create an iCloud email account for you.

  • How do you delete a iCloud account from Mac

    I previously had a mobilme account, then it merged with the icloud but it did so using the account information from mobileme. I had already set up an account on my phone using my account name @ mobileme.com. The account with mobileme was set up using account [email protected] Now when I sign in th icloud using my account name @me.com it tells me that this is not my primary account. Please help me figure this out. Thanks,

    You cannot sync multiple iCloud accounts to one.
    How have you managed to get 3 accounts? One is all you need per person.

  • How do i turn off an icloud account on iphone 5 and make a new one?

    i was locked out of my old apple account completely. i can not recover my apple id, password will not work. i have recently made a new apple id. i need to make a new icloud account with my new apple id and sync it to my iphone 5 with my old account that is still logged in and working. is there any way i can keep my existing information on my phone? i also have my phone backed up to my macbook is there a way to transfer my info from my macbook? i want to fix my icloud issue before updating to iOS 7.

    Make sure everything you have is backed up and restore your iPhone as new, not from back up. Start over and see if that solves anything.
    If it doesn't help anything then call or go into an Apple store. They will try everything you already tried; making sure it's updated, resets, and a restore or 2. Then they will then decide what to do, most likely replacement.

    I no longer have access to the email address used as my Apple ID and when I choose to answer security questions, my DOB had to have been originally entered incorrectly because it keeps failing.  How do I get rid of my old Apple ID and create a new one?

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • How do i delete an icloud account without a password

    I bought a i phone 4s  and i am trying to set it up.  Forgive me if these are obvious questions - i am new to all this.  I have a apple ID/password which i have created, however my current itunes account/icloud account are set up/picking up my old email address which i no longer have access to and dont know the password.  i have tried to delete the icloud account but it says i need a password.  I have tried the forgot password option on apple to which it doesnt recognise my birthday as being the same as their records for some reason, and i cant access the reset email as i dont have this address anymore.
    how do i delete an icloud account without a password?
    thanks for any help

    you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
    if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

  • How do i delete an icloud account on iphone 6

    How do I delete an icloud account on my iphone 6?

    Hey Liz, 
    You should be able to sign out of an iCloud account by going to Settings > iCloud and scroll to the bottom and you will see an option to sign out the account. If you have multiple accounts, then you can go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and choose the account and scroll down to the same sign out option.
