Cannot Delete ICloud Account on IoS 7 Upgraded IPhone 5

Hi
I have upgraded my Iphone 5 to IoS 7 and find that my ICloud email address is an old one which I changed from some time ago.
I have tried to delete this account but cannot do so as I being asked for the password for my old email address, which I can't remember.
The problem is that I cannot now set up my Find My IPhone on my newly upgraded phone.
Any ideas how I can delete the old address withouth the password?
My Apple ID and ICloud and Find My IPhone all work fine on my older 4S Iphone and my IPad 2.  IoS 7 seems to be the problem.  Or is it?
Simple and instant solutions welcome.

Thanks, but I know my current password. The Apple ID website does not help, I'm afraid.
You are referecning the fact that when attempting to connect with your new apple id that you device is asking you for the password to an old Apple id. What you will need to do is to go to my apple id plug in the old apple id and ask it to reset the password to this apple id. Once the password has been reset to the old apple id, you then will be able to provide the password to the old apple id which will result in then being able to provide information required from the old Apple id to then enable your future process.
Good luck.

    I want to sign out my icloud account but I can't. When I try sign out, I received notification " Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"

    - have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
    - each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
    - when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
    - I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
    - finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
    Missing apps from restore from backup
    - Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
    - I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
    Conclusion
    This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
    At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

  • Cannot delete iCloud account on iPad as it requests password to my previous Apple id

    HI
    i have changed my Apple ID however the iCloud settings are still fixed to the previous Id. I appreciate that I need to delete the current iCloud account and sign in with the new I'd but I am unable to do this as it requests the password to my old Id account which has an email address that no longer exists.
    please help, turning in circles.
    regards

    Hi Stevenisa
    If I am understanding very well, you have changed the Apple ID, and the iCloud settings are still related to the old one. However, you want to sign out from the old one, it's demanding you to put the password.
    Your old email address (which is an apple ID) is no longer exist? did you tried to reset the password from the old one?
    is the Find My iPhone feature is ON?

  • Cannot delete iCloud Account or reset Password

    Hi,
    I'm trying to Delete my old iCloud account off my iPhone so that I can set up my new account.
    However, to do so, it is asking me to enter my password (which I have forgot). I've tried resetting my Password using iForgot, but I never receive an Email from Apple (I have checked spam and spam filters). I have also tried the security question but it says my answer is incorrect. Lastly, I have tried the "I have forgotten my Apple ID" route, but I get a message saying that my old account doesn't exist. Therefore, I'm in limbo!
    Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a way around it?
    Many thanks.

    Hello!
    Looks like you've done all you can. Please call Apple and ask if they can help you further: Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support

  • Cannot delete Facebook account in iOs Settings

    Hello there.
    I am using an iPad 3 and I have iOs 7.1.2 (11D257) installed.
    In Settings > Facebook I get the following problem:
    "There was a problem accessing your account. Please reenter the password for "My Facebook Name is Displayed".
    Now I have tried every password for this and I get a 'Username or Password incorrect' message. But what is strange is that Facebook works fine on the iPad app and everywhere else. I have tried changing my password and e-mail address. I even click 'Delete Account' and NOTHING HAPPENS! Nothing is working! Here is a list of everything I've tried:
    - Reset Network Settings
    - Reset Location & Privacy Settings
    - Reset Settings
    I then 'Reset All Content & Settings' and set up the iPad as new at the setup assistant. VOILA! The issue was fixed and I could log in with my Facebook credentials.
    BUT!
    I have a huge iCloud backup, with so many things I do not want to lose, and I do not want a new Apple ID. So I repeated the process, only this time instead of a new iPad install, I erased everything and Restored my iCloud Backup.
    After waiting all this time for the restore, I am shocked to see that the issue is still there. It is LOCKED into my iCloud backup. So there is nothing I can do to solve this issue.
    Is there a way I can remove everything Facebook related from my iCloud? If there is not, what am I to do? I can't be alone with this problem. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it as Apple have not been forthcoming with this at all.
    Thank you in advance!
    Kindest regards,
    - Tony

    I have the same issue and I don't have a place to enter a user name. So how did you change your user name? This problem is only on my iPad it did not follow my iPhone. It happened right after updating to  IOS 7.1.1 and now I can't use Facebook for anything on my iPad. I have not changed my login on Facebook. Very frustrated.

  • How to delete iCloud account, with non-existing email as ID, on iPad?

    Cannot delete iCloud account (which happens to have a non-existing ID) on iPad in order to have same account as on iPhone - keep trying using current Apple ID and PW but to no avail - iCloud settings continue to insist that Apple ID/PW is wrong but they are the ones I have in "manage my ID"???

    If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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 iPad on your device, 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.  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.

  • Cannot delete Lists from Reminders app after upgrading to iOS 7. The deal is that those lists don't show in iCloud account in the Web-Browser, so I cannot delete via Browser, when I press the button Edit in the List, there is no Delete button at thebottom

    On my iPhone 5, upgraded to iOS 7, the lists in Reminders are impossible to delete.  When I press Edit button in the right corner of the app, the button Delete list is supposed to be at the bottom, but it's empty there, the deal is I could delete some of the lists, but most of them I can't. I tried delete iCloud account from iPhone, but they are still there, and still no Delete button. In the Browser I don't see those lists, so cannot delete them from the Browser as well. Could you help me?

    Read on another thread here that you now swipe in the opposite direction. Try swiping right to left.

  • I changed my Apple ID that using an invalid email address to a new one and I am trying to update iCloud account on iPhone5 with iOS 7.1.2, and I am not able to delete iCloud account without the old password.

    I changed my Apple ID that using an invalid email address and I am trying to update iCloud account with my new Apple ID on iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2. I am not able to delete iCloud account without the old password. Is there a way to update the Apple ID of my iCloud account?

    Many people are having probalems with this right now.  The only solution I've seen that seems to consistently work is the one posted by Brackers28 here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23020591#23020591.  This only works if you still have access to your old email account.  If you don't, you'll have to have Apple help you reset the password for your old account so you can turn off Find My iPhone and sign into your account with your correct ID.

  • Delete gmail account from iOS mail

    gmail shows up as an inactive account in my ios mail settings.  however, gmail still  loads into my inbox.  I want to eliminate gmail completely and only get icloud mail.  I can't find a way to do it.

    Since you are in the Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) forum but are asking about iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc), I'm not sure how to answer.  So, here is how to do it in either:
    In Mavericks (i.e. on a Mac):
    Open "System Preferences" > "Internet Accounts"
    Select your Google account in the left sidebar
    Click the "-" icon at the bottom left to delete the account
    In iOS (i.e. on an iPhone):
    Touch "Settings"
    Touch "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
    Touch your Gmail Account
    At the bottom of the screen, touch "Delete Account"
    That's it.  If you delete accounts per the above instructions then there is simply no way for your Gmail to continue to come in to Apple Mail on Mavericks or iOS.  The only way that could happen is if you have set up your Gmail account to forward mail to your iCloud account.
    I hope this helps.

  • TS3988 trying to get a icloud account but it keeps saying too many free accounts on my phone, how do i delete icloud accounts?

    hi how do i delete icloud account from my iphone 4 as i want my own account but its just telling me there is too many free accounts registered to my phone

    You can set up a maximum of 3 accounts with any device.  After that all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts already created or set up a new one using another iOS device or Mac running OS X 10.7.4 or later, if you have one.  (You can't delete iCloud accounts.)

  • I had bought iPhone 4 from OLX. When i had deleted iCloud account and restored my iPhone it is still asking me about Apple I.D to activate my Phone.. Why is it so..?? Suggest me a possible reason for my Question so that i may continue using my iPhone...

    I had bought iPhone 4 from OLX. When i had deleted iCloud account and restored my iPhone it is still asking me about Apple I.D to activate my Phone.. Why is it so..?? Suggest me a possible reason for my Question so that i may continue using my iPhone...
    I dont have any contact detail of that person whom i had bought this phone..

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
