Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,
GB

HT204053 How can I delete my iCloud account which I do not remember anything about the information that I entered about 4 years ago. It always asks my birth date but it seems I did not enter my correct date how can I bypass this question???

You cannot delete the account from the server (partly to prevent the username from becoming available again and some-one else using it to pretend to be you).. Having disengaged your devices from it, go to http://icloud.com and delete any data in there such as contacts and calendars. Then just ignore it.

How can I delete my iCloud account when it is sending a verification email to an address which is no longer accessible?

I recently changed my old iTunes User id from an old, defunct, and inaccessible email address to a new and active one. To do this I went to iTunes 'Manage your Account'. At the same time, I changed my password, and this has been working fine.
However, I now need to change my iCloud account, so I read up on it and saw that I needed to delete my old iCloud account and set up a new one with the new iTunes user id. When I tried to delete the iCloud account, it sent a verification email to the old, defunct email address, and will not allow me to go any further until I confirm the verification.
The problem is of course that I can't access the old email address to confirm the verification that iCloud has sent to it.
Solutions already tried:
Go into iTunes and 'Manage my account' - this doesn't work as there is no option to manage the iCloud account here, only the iTunes account
Reset the iTunes account to the old email address - this doesn't work, as it still sends a verification to the old email address, and I can't access it to confirm
Contacting Apple by email - tried this but they didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about!
Does anyone out there have any bright ideas? All welcome!

Use "Manage your Account" to change the primary email address.

How can I delete my iCloud account when I have changed my Apple ID and cannot now sign out as do not have the original Apple ID and password.

I am unable to delete my iCloud account from my device. This is because I recently changed my Apple ID email/ username which now means when I try to delete my iCloud account to log back in with my new Apple ID I am unable to as it requests my old Apple ID username and password which no longer exist. i am on IOS 8.1. Can someone help me find a solution to this?

TS3988 How can I change my iCloud account and password? If I delete the account, I do not want all info deleted.

I want to change my iCloud account and password without losing info that has been backed up.

Your iCloud account ID and password are the AppleID and password you used when you created the account. As fromsouth says, change the password for the AppleID and you've changed it for your iCloud login. You can also change the primary email address of that AppleID if you need to.

HT5312 I cannot remember the password for iCloud that goes with an old email address that I used to set it up. How do I delete the iCloud account and start over?

I am stuck in a loop and want to delete the iCloud account I set up and start over. How?

If you acquired content with the old Apple ID, you also forfeit the content. Content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another nor does Apple merge IDs. It would be best to reacquire use of the ID than to abandon it if you have content because that is the only ID that can redownload the content or update it. Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting the password for the account.
Otherwise, if none of that matters, just abandon the ID and everything associated with it, delete everything from your devices and libraries. Then create a new Apple ID and start over.

How can I delete an iCloud-Account that uses a not anymore existing email-adress?

Months ago my GMX-Account got blocked because it was hijacked by some SPAM-sending-********.
I recognized that when I was not able to log into my iTunes account and buy stuff anymore.
I changed the emailadress by setting up a new Account with a new ID I used from that day on - problem solved.
Plus: I deleted the email-adress as I was sick of it anyways - problem solved, too.
I changed all my IDs on iPhone and iPad to the new ID, except the one of the iCloud.
During that time I had already decided that I did not want to use my iClound storage anyways so I did not work on how to change the emailadress.
I want to use it now - and that is, where the problem started today:
I tried to change the adress, it is grey, cannot be changed.
I tried to log in with the emailadress, iPhone tells me: wrong password (yes, I already tried everything I ever used)
I tried deleting the account: no way, needs password.
That would not be a problem BUT:
I could not use iForgot because the emailadress does not exist anymore.
I could not use the security-questions because I. Simply. Do. Not. Remember. The. Answers. -.-
I DID remember the Username though.
So I logged in and changed the emailadresses.
With the new emailadresses I set up I was able to change the security-questions.
So THAT problem is solved.
Problem is: iCloud-emailadress is still the same and grey.
Trolled by technology and own stupidity/forgetfulness, I guess.
So: I have everything on my new emailadress BUT the iCloud storage which I am not able to use because I cannot change a thing because I forgot the password and the emailadress is no longer existing.
How do I solve that problem?
Anyone?
Best
Sarah

Why would anyone need a 3rd party program to erase an iPhone? It can be erased using iTunes or the phone itself. You keep promoting unnecessary 3rd party software, and from the same developer. Maybe you are shilling for the company, or work for it?
Lawrence, I really hope you didn't mean to reply to me!
But, yes, I believe selenafromshezhen is shilling for that company.

HT201269 Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. They have purchased music and apps. I need to set up their own accounts since when on my account they also get my ext messages. How can I set up new accounts and transfer what they purchased from my ac

Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. As a result they also ge my text messages. I would like to set up their own accounts but be able to transfer the songs and apps they purchased. Can this be done?

You can still share an iTunes account for purchasing and downloading content. Just create a new Apple ID for iCloud to use for Messaging. If you try to create a new Apple ID for music and content, everything on their phone is tied to the Apple ID used for purchases, and would then require the password for that Apple ID to update. The way I described is easier.

I do not have any IOS device!!! So how can i create an icloud account

How can I create a il=cloud account if i don"t have and IOS device. How does that actually work???

You can only create an iCloud account on a device with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion.
The whole point of iCloud is to sync your iOS devices with your computer...

HT204053 I got a 4s today and used my wife's iCloud to back up to my phone. Need my own iCloud account so as not to down loud or back up all her stuff. How do I delete her iCloud account and create my own?

How do I setup my own iCloud account? I used my wife's but I don't want all the info she has. It appears I need to delete the iCloud first? This is for my new 4S

Go into settings,and there should be a tab named icloud. Click on that and sign in with which ever account you used. Now scroll down and click delete account. Then go back into setting, icloud and type all info for new account.
