Can't log out from iCloud

Hi. I have a problem. Several times a day, my iPad try to log it self into iCloud on a mail I don't use anymore. And the problem is, that I can't remove it, cuz I don't have the password anymore. I've tried to recover it, but it won't send any mail to do so. So how should I do? Seems impossible to fix this :( and it's a big pain in the ***!

You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

How can i log out from icloud without losing any document?

I want to create a new icloud account, but first I need to delete the previous one without losing my documents.

On your mac, use Pages or whichever app is needed for the specific document and save it locally instead of in icloud. Then disconnect your iOS device from the account. You can later sync the document via itunes.

HT201356 I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist?

I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist.
I have alternate icloud email attached to my iPad and I accidentally delete it from appleid.apple.com. And now I can't log out that iCloud account because it doesn't exist and it can't recognize my password.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Hi ! I got an iPhone 5 from someone who I don't know the real owner. Then I wanna change iCloud on it, but I don't know the password of owner. How can I log out that iCloud account without password ? Please help me, thank you

Thank you, please help me !

How can I log out that iCloud account without password ?
You can't.
Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.

Can I log out of icloud without losing information and pictures?

Can I log out of Icloud without losing pictures and info?

Back them up, sign out, Restore them. They will be deleted (from your computer, but not from your iCloud account) when you sign out.

Can't log out of iCloud on iOS7?

I created a new iCloud account separate from my family's on my laptop. I'm logged into my phone with the same email as the new iCloud account, but the iCloud account is still the old one and the email address is grayed out so I can't change it. I tried logging in/out of mesages/facetime on my phone like I've read other people recommend but nothing changes. I tried plugging my phone into iTunes but still nothing. I can't log out off the iCloud account because the only option is to "delete account", but it's not solely my account so I can't do that either.
Any ideas?

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

If you had installed iOS 7 it would be Activation locked, but I see you only have iOS 5. You do have a backup of you iPad files on your computer or iCloud, don't you?
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

I changed my apple ID email address - can't log out of iCloud

I changed my apple ID email address some time ago - I'm trying to log out of iCloud on my iPad but as 'find my mac' is enabled it wants the password in order to sign out, but the email address is the old one (greyed out); it says password or ID incorrect - yes the ID is incorrect, but can't be changed!
And BTW in my iCloud account under the new addres, no devices have 'find my mac' enabled

I can't log out from a gmail acount on firefox. Support suggested to activate cookies, but they were anyway activated and I can't find any solution.

While I am trying to log out from a gmail account on firefox , a new tab pops out informing me about problem with the cookies options. I couldn't follow the instructions in the tab, because I couldn't find anything of the suggestion in the options menu. Then I checked everything that online mozilla support suggested and nothing seems to be wrong with the cookies, they are activated. I don't know if this is connected with this problem, but the account that I am trying to log out is not mine, it belongs to a friend that has ever logged in before through my firefox until yesterday, and since then I am stuck with her account and basicly I can't even have acces to my emails. I think that's all.
Thank you!!

HT204053 How can i log out of icloud on an ipod touch?

How can i log off of icloud on my ipod without deleting any data from my icloud account?

Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This only deletes the account and your synced data from your device, not from your iCloud account. When you sign back in, your data will be synced back to your device.
But before deleting the account, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

Can I log out from my Mac using Terminal.app?

Is there a command I can issue in Terminal.app to log myself out? I'm just looking for a command-line equivalent of Apple >> Log Out. I would like to script this action so I can add it to my dock. Thanks.

Hi--
I wasn't able to find a way to completely log out via the Terminal (i.e., quit all apps and go back to the login window), though I did find a way to suspend the current login session (your apps are still running when you come back, much like with fast user switching):
<pre class="command">/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend</pre>
You can also log out via AppleScript:
<pre class="command">tell application "System Events" to log out</pre>
Just save it as an application and put it on your Dock. I didn't do much testing, though, so I don't know if it'll quit your apps for you cleanly. Basically, I just got to the point where the dialog came up and left it at that.

How can I log out of iCloud on my iPad Air?

I recently updated my Apple ID. I was able to get that new ID to work with iTunes, on my iPhone 5, and with iCloud on my computer and on the web.
But my iPad Air is stuck on the old Apple ID and it will not let me change it.
I have synced the iPad Air with iTunes using the USB cable (even though the cable isn't necessary) and it syncs fine - but iTunes on my computer has the new Apple ID and the iPad Air still has the old one! (So technically, it shouldn't sync or it should copy the new ID info over onto the iPad Air, right?)
When I go to iCloud on the iPad under Settings and click on Account, it pops up with the old Apple ID, but it is greyed out. It will not accept the password. It will not allow me to log out. It will not allow me to change the Apple ID. Is it pulling this from some other area? iTunes on the iPad shows the correct Apple ID.
Can someone please tell me how I can fix this?
Thanks!!

It won't let me. And I have now discovered that this is also an issue on my iPhone. I thought the phone was okay last night, but it's not. I now cannot get to anything on the phone.
I haven't had time yet to try your second suggestion, but I will try it. I don't use FaceTime, never have, so I don't know if that will work. I do know that nothing is working with iCloud.
Okay, I was able to at least get back to my main screen on my phone. I will try the second suggestion when I get to the office.
