Can I delete my iCloud and create a new one, but retain all my stuff?

So I can't remember the password/security questions to the current apple ID i'm using for my iCloud. It's an old email address that I don't use anymore. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to delete my icloud account then simply create a new account and have it sync all the stuff from my old account?

So there is absolutely no way to get rid of that @yahoo.com adress? Maybe remove the @me.com adress, and then create a new account? I want it to be a clean account, not a 2-level account, etc. Just the @me adress. It's possible since today i set up a Mac, and i created a "pure" iCloud adress. just the @me.com
Something like this:

It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.

You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
Your choices are:
--Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
--Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
Good luck.

I am on a shared computer with several profiles. I had to delete my profile and create a new one. Now, my question. It transferred to Purchased Items to the new iTunes, so how do I get the rest of the songs to transfer to new iTunes?

It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Sorry, have I misunderstood you?
If you have forgotten your password, then how did you create a new password? You cannot simply "create a new password" after forgetting the original one.
How would you get into the account so that you could change it?

How do i delete an icloud and make a new one

I need help!!! Can i delete my ICloud account on my daughters I pad mini and make her a new one and still keep mine??

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.

What happens if I delete Synchronization Connection and Create a new one

So I need to change the forrest name on my user profile synchronization connection. This field is grayed out so the only way I see to change it is to create a new connection and delete the old one. Is this the correct way to do this? If not what is
the correct way that will not affect people's access.

That's correct. Also, UPA has nothing to do with permissions, so there won't be any impact to user access.

We had to change email and I can't access the old one. iCloud sends instructions to change passwords to the old account. I have tried deleting the old iCloud and create a new account, but it shows iCloud sent verification to the old email address again!

We had to change our email address and I cannot have access to the old one. I have changed accounts but iCloud sends verification instructions to the old address. I deleted the old but it won't let me access a new account without he verification and they keep sending it to my old email address.

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

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.

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device? 
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

HT2623 How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account. But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622). (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)

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.
