Therefore cannot reply to any email. Or even read what they send me.
With the anonymous online contact form you can use a different e-mail that you have access to. It doesn't have to be the one listed on the account.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account, transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

When I set up my iPhone, I accidentally put in an apple ID that doesn't exist. Therefor, I don't know the password and can't delete my account from iCloud. I was trying to sync my contacts to my iPad and now it's not possible without iCloud on my phone. Can anybody help?

Have you tried changing the admin password in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Password ??
The Apple ID that is associated with your admin password is noted there.

Can't delete admin account even as Root

We're experimenting with integrating our Mac users into Active Directory. I've read that you should delete the user account in Sys Prefs first and leave the home folder.
The problem we're having is that I can't delete the users account in system prefs even if I log in as the root user. I get a generic error after about 10 minutes of looking like it is working that says the account could not be deleted.
My guess is it has something to do with the fact that I had already logged into the same acount with an Active Directory login and the permissions have been changed on certain files and now it can't complete archiving the home folder because of some rights issue.
I have unbound the computer from the AD forest and ran disk permissions to no avail. I'd like to keep the existing home folder to use with the network login if possible so I haven't tried the quick delete option.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can't delete an account if it is logged in, or if it is the only admin account on the system. So make sure that there is at least one other admin account, and that the account you want to delete os logged out.

Help: Can't delete email account in OSX Mail

I have verizon.net email account that I had to update because verizon changed the incoming and outgoing servers.
Each of my family members has a separate profile on my Mac and I was able to successfully update their settings.
I have the admin account. No matter what I do, I can't get the new server settings to stick in MacOSX Mail.
So I tried to delete the email account via System Preferences. When I relaunch Mail or System Preferences, the account is stil there. When I try to delete the account from within Mail, I get an error message:
Account removal failed with error: “The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to find an account for the UID given.”.
You can try deleting the account from the “Internet Accounts“ preference pane in System Preferences.
I even tried the steps in this thread using Terminal:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23824890#23824890
I even tried deleting the account in my Library preferences.
No luck.
I had this problem on my 17" MacBook Pro. I just migrated to a Retina MacBook Pro using a Time Machine backup. Same exact problem. I'm thinking there's some bizarro preference thingy that is buried somewhere that needs to be removed.
Yes, I ran disk utility as well.
Help me please!

After closing mail I used a plist editor and edited:
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist
(as always TAKE A BACKUP)
I removed all key pairs to the offending account.
Voila.
Removed.

How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password and can't retreive it pressing delet without entering password does nothing

How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password and can't reset it as not receiving reset email from facebook pressing delete without password does nothing.

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.com and 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.

How can i delete admin accounts

how can i delete admin accounts on imac running lion

Apple says that admin accounts should be only used for tasks that require them, and not for any other reason. Apple even goes so far as to say to never browse the web or check email while logged in to an admin account.
The reason is for security. When logged in to an admin account, everything you do, every program and process you run, runs with elevated admin privileges. Running with higher privileges than is necessary can be a security risk. There is no reason for your web browser, for example, to be running all the time with admin rights.
If you're currently running as admin it's easy to switch. Make a new admin account, and change your previous account from admin to standard. You can then continue using your old account as you always have.
You'll find that you rarely if ever need to actually log in to the admin account. Nearly all admin and even root tasks, like installing software, can be done from any non-admin account, by entering the admin username/password when prompted.

I can't delete events recurring annually...not part of birthday calendar, these are events I've added manually. I've tried delete key, cut event, changing to no recurrence, they just revert to original recurrence and will not be removed from my calendar. Events that occur weekly I'm able to delete, this is only happening with events recurring annually. Very frustrating. Thanks for any ideas.

If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad. But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software. I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

Hallo! How can i delete my files wich are saved not on the C: drive?

Hallo! How can i delete my files wich are saved not on the C: drive?

I'm guessing there must be more to this question than you are stating.
But to answer the question you asked, if you want to delete files that are not on the C drive, select the files and then delete them (press the Delete key, and then Delete from Hard Disk or not, your choice)

HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.

You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.
