I am trying to delete my icloud account to create a new one but it will not let me delete my old account

I am trying to delete my old icloud account but it will not let me delete the account?

If you are trying to delete an old iCloud account in order to sign in with an updated ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going tohttps://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use yourcurrent password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.comand change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.

Yeah... that's exactly the way it is supposed to work. Sharing the library does not move it anywhere.
To move the library to the new computer, copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

I deleted my account to create a new one but it now says my email is already in use, what do ?

I'm using Firefox Sync across multiple computers / profiles / Firefox version (mainly minefield) and since a few weeks I get sync errors everywhere. I'm a very early user of Weave if that helps.
Thinking about having a fresh start, I deleted my sync account successfully. Now, creating a new one through the Firefox Sync wizard, it says my email is already used.

The login parameter was a username, I'm an early adopter.
I've set up a new account using an "[email protected]" email, but it doesn't solve the fact that I should have been able to reuse my normal email as the account associated with it was deleted (supposedly?).
As for the sync errors, I keep getting them, but have narrowed them down to bookmarks syncing. I'll create another thread for that when I know more I guess.

How can I set my credit card option to "none"? Editing my account or creating a new one, the option is not there.

An email from support suggested this; 3) On the Edit Payment Information page, select "None" from the list of credit card types. This will delete your billing information.
But the "none" button is nowhere to be found.

You cannot use an existing Apple ID. Take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. If you wish to use an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method.

I am having some trouble trying to back up my notes to my iCloud

Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

My hard drive & mother board had to be replaced, I am trying to setup my laptop & trying to re-sync but it will not let me use my old sync key, how do I reactivate using old sync key???

I have my old sync key, but it keeps saying that it is the wrong one every time I try to setup the sync option...how do I clear out what is currently on there so I can use my old sync key and get my original info back?

When you go to set up Sync - '''''I already have a Sync account''''', then in the next window use '''''I don't have the device with me'''''
As you type the Sync Key, don't type the hypens between the alpha / numeric characters.

Hello there, hcheslynn.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a great resource for what to do next after changing your Apple ID:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Particularly for your case:
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
If you still get prompted for your old Apple ID's password, the following article provides some additional troubleshooting steps:

If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

I delete my iCloud account and got a new one but the previous iCloud account is keep showing up.what do I do??

You have to sign out of the old one and then sign back in with the new one. On an iOS device it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just disengage the device from it). On a Mac it's System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
