My iPhone was set to the wrong ICloud account; how can i reset it so it is on the same one as my iPad and MAC?
My new iPhone was mistakenly setup with a new account diferent from theone on my iPad and MAC, iTunes and Mobile Me. I finally got Lion and moved my MobileMe to iCloud. I then found out this mistake when my iPhone was not synching with my iPad and MAC. the onloy way I can see to fix this is reset the account my iPhone iCloud if set to, but see not way to do that or any instruction to do this resetting. Does anyone know how to do this?
Go to Settings>Mail, etc.>iCloud and delete the account. Then add in a new account with the details you want.

IPhone activate stuck at previous owner iCloud account. how can I bypass it?
I got a iPhone 5 online and reset it. When I update ios to 7.1 and reactivate it. apple asked for previous owner iCloud Account and password in order to activate the phone i have to enter previous owner ID and password. How can I bypass it?
Thankshttp://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
You don't. It will have to be removed by the owner of the account that was used to lock it. -

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??
It's happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage. You don't need to do anything with your iCloud account to fix this. You should create a separate Apple ID for her device to use with iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores if you wish; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.) Once you've done this, on her device go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID. Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Another caution is that if you share and iCloud account with her, any data you both sync with the account such as contacts, will be merged and the merged data will appear on both devices. If you don't want to end up with each other's contacts, calendars, etc. on your devices, you should have separate iCloud accounts to. If you want to make this change, go to Settings>iCloud on her device and tap Delete Account. (This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to choose Keep On My iPod. Then set up a new iCloud account with her new ID, turn on iCloud data syncing again, and when prompted choose Merge. -
on my iphone 5 ios8, i have an apple id for App store and a defferent id for Icloude. i forgot the pw for the icloude id. how can i reset or delete icloude ?
Greetings chaimba216,
After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
iCloud: Change your iCloud password
Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)

I have the wrong icloud account on my ipad. If I go in and hit the red delete account button in settings of icloud will it just remove it from my ipad or remove it completely since it is on other devices
It only deletes if from this device, not from iCloud. Other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.

If someone finds an iphone and its being tracked...then if such person restores it and takes the previous icloud account off, can the phone still be tracked?
In what regard? Restrictions would not impede in iCloud. All they do are allow certain changes (like age-appropriate content on App Store to be changed), and to prevent some apps from being shown on the device if they aren't going to be used, for example, I have restrictions active on my iPhone with the Youtube App turned off so it doesn't show on my home screen, and youtube links don't open into it (i find the application clunky and prefer the website).
If the device is restored; Anything put in place by restrictions and the prior user are renderred null as the settings get completely erased. -
