Can i delete my admin account and make a new one?

i want to start a new account cos i have so much rubbish on my current one. i have worked out how to make new accounts but cant work out how to delete my main (current) admin account?
any help would be great. thanks.

Create a new account with Admin privileges.
Backup important files (Documents, Music, etc).
Log out of current account.
Log into new admin account.
When you are sure you have backed up and moved everything over, you can then delete the old previous admin account. You can have more than one admin account so it's not necessary to delete immediately. Actually, it's not a bad idea to have another backup admin account for troubleshooting purposes.
Be advised though that you'll have to have separate names for each account.

You can't delete it. You can only stop using it or you can modify it.

How can I delete my itunes account and create a new one ?

Hi Everyone
I've got a problem with my current account itunes (french) :
I'm between France and Spain. I usaully use french applications but I would like to be able to pick some apps in the spanish itunes store, and in the english one (such as i already do in the french one). Lately I change my payment data to my spanish visa card data, since then I cannot download any app anymore.
So I tried to create a new account in the itunes store choosing the spanish location, but it s not possible since my actual email adress is the back up email adress of my french account .
Can you please provide me some support ?
A good day to you all.
Audrey

You can access www.appleid.apple.com and open your old account and delete.

If I delete my iCloud account and make a new one on my phone will it mess up anything? Will it erase my phone or something like that?

Help would be majorly appreciated!

If you want to create a new iCloud account and move your date to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. You cannot move an existing iCloud email account to the new iCloud account. When you turn Mail on in Settings>iCloud, you will be asked to create your new @icloud.com email address.

I want to delete my ichat account and make a new one

i just got my mac and made a ichat account. i think i messed uo because i had used two different emails. i tried to add my friend but everytime it said waiting for authorization and it keep saying i was offline. i was wondering if there was any was i could fix this problem. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!

Hi,
You haven't added any Spec for your machine or iChat version but you seem to imply it is new so I will presume Lion and iChat 6
iChat can use 4 types of names and some of those have sub-categories if you like.
In the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts you should have at least the Bonjour Option in the list even if you have no other accounts.
This is used between Macs on your LAN.
If they are using iChat and have Bonjour Enabled then you will see their Name as they call themselves in their Address Book. iChat will broadcast your Name as at the My Card in your Address Book (Head and Shoulders icon card).
iChat can join the AIM service and these can be one of three (sub) type of Names, although the Buddy list can have Buddies of each type.
You can register at AIM themselves, with @Mac.com and use a MobileMe name (Ending @Me.com)
Generically the Account/Buddy List is referred to as an AIM list as @Mac.om and MobileMe names are Valid AIM Screen Names
iChat can use Jabber Names/IDs. These include Google and there is an Option with iChat 4 onwards to use this a a separate sub category when adding an Account to iChat (In creating a BUddy List)
A Jabber ID can add Goolge Buddies or a Google Buddy List can have Jabber Buddies.
iChat 6 adds the ability to use a Yahoo ID as well.
Although the Yahoo for Mac App (it is still in Beta) can add MSN contacts this cannot be done in iChat.
Adding Buddies.
In an "AIM" List you can add Buddies by clicking the Plus icon at the Bottom of the Buddy List and selecting Add Buddy
You type the Buddy's name in full (As in [email protected], or [email protected] or the AIM name that the persons tells you (it may not be an Email) )
Allowing or Blocking a Buddy is then done in the iChat Menu Preferences > Accounts > Security tab.
With a Jabber/Google List you have to Authorize the Buddy as you Add them. A Person has to be in th Buddy List rather than allowing or Blocking them later.
To be more precise a Request to Authorize is sent to the Buddy and they either Accept or Deny.
In iChat 3 through 5 this needed to be done when the Buddy was On Line as iChat does not repeat the Request. From what you post it seems this has not changed in iChat 6
(Other Jabber apps continually send the request until such time as the person actually sees the request and does something about it.)
So it may not be that the Name is "Wrong" or that you have set up your account incorrectly.
I have no info on setting up a Yahoo account at present or how Buddies are added for Allow/Block Authorise or not.
What you cannot do is use an AIM Account to add Google or Jabber buddies to (Or vice versa) even though on the whole the naming formats (email Style IDs) applies to both.
AIM Registrations ask for a second email for Password recovery
@mac.com Registrations require a second email to Verify the Apple ID you are creating (It happens to be an Valid AIM screen Name as well (@mac.com look like email but are not so you cannot verify them back through @mac.com as it were).
The Waiting for Authorisation message only comes from a Google Talk ID or a Jabber Buddy List.
It will show if you add an AIM valid Name or if the Buddy is Off Line and not seeing the Request to answer it.
Example iChat 4 pic
(not sure why I had these to options crossed out but I may have been talking about iChat 3 when I used it)
Obviously iChat 6 has Yahoo as well.

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.

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'.

Why would you do this?

Why not just change the info? Go into your account and edit whatever you like.

How do I delete my apple account to make a new one

im having trouble logging into my apple account on my iphone and now i would like to just detlete the account and start over and make a new one

Apple IDs cannot be deleted. Any purchases made with that Apple ID are linked to it permanently, cannot be transfered and will therefore be lost.
Have you tried resetting your password?
If you choose to contiinue with a new account, you can simply abandon the old. If you are unable to sign in, you will not be able to remove any personal information on the account. You will also not be able to reuse the same email address for the new ID.
I suggest trying to recover you current account.
What have you tried so far?

How to delete icloud email account and get a new one

I have been getting alot of unwanted email in my icloud account. Is there anyway to deelte an icloud email and start a new one??

You can't delete it, but you can create an email alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a. Just be aware that an alias address cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account.
After creating your alias, you can set up an email rule at icloud.com that will send email addressed to your main iCloud email addres to the trash or junk folder, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.

HT5621 I recently changed my Apple ID but my cloud backup keeps asking for password to my old Apple ID. If I go in and delete my cloud account and create a new one will I lose everything or does the cloud follow my new ID when I set it up?

I recently changed my Apple ID but I keep getting messages from my Cloud account asking for my password to my old Apple ID. If I go in and delete the current Cloud account that appears to still be associated with my old ID and set up new one with my current ID will I lose all the stuff in the Cloud?

Did you just change the address or did you create a new Apple ID.
