Close/cancel iCloud Account.

Since I subscribed to iCloud, I am having trouble with my email accounts. It is necessary that I close my iCloud account.How can I close my iCloud account?

Sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud. If you have been using iCloud for email and syncing all that data will disappear from your Mac/device as the data is held on the iCloud server, so you will need to transfer it to your Mac first - in the case of calendars and contacts by exporting as .ics and vCard files respectively and in the case of email by dragging your mails to a mailbox under 'On My Mac'.
You cannot actually delete the account from the server but if you sign out and ignore it it will have no further affect on you. However there is no reason why an iCloud should have an adverse effect on other email services, which would be set up separately in the Mail application, so you might want to look into what actually is causing the problem.

I cannot receive text messages on my new samsung phone from any of my old iphone contacts. I was told that I need to close my icloud in order to fix this problem but i can't find a way to close my icloud account. Help...

You can try changing the password for the Apple ID you were using for iMessage on your iPhone by going to https://iforgot.apple.com. If that doesn't help, you'll have to contact Apple support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.

While configuring the Find My Friends app on iOS 5, I accidentally created a new iCloud account.
Since I will not be using this account, I want to close it, meanning I want it to be erased from the iCloud servers.

Apparently you can't. Just stop using it and remove the login from your Mac.

You need to setup two separate user accounts on your PC and then log into iCloud in each one of them.

HT5621 I recently upgraded my iPad with iOS 7. I had my iCloud account on a particular email address which has been discontinued. I tried to change my account but I cannot and will need to delete everything from my iCloud account to change it. HELP please

Apparently I need to close my iCloud account and change it to a new one. But like that apparently i will lose all my data.

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.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I am cancelling my Gmail account and want to forward any messages I still receive in that old account to my ICloud e-mail. How do I set up forwarding?
Thank you.

Gmail will forward them, but not if you close the Gmail account.
Look in Gmail Settings for Forwarding.

How can I close an AppleID/iCloud account that is no longer used?

I have 2 MobileMe addresses that were moved to iCloud. As we all know, AppleID's cannot be merged. All of my purchases are under my main AppleID/ iCloud account. I just want to close the 2 I am not using. Has anyone ever successfully done this?

You can't close accounts or ID's, you can only stop using them by deleting the accounts from your iOS devices.

How do i cancel my icloud account

I canceled it off each of my devices. Now I want to cancel the account altogether. Music keeps showing up tagged in my itunes store with the cloud next to it. Also, it is still on my computer. I don't want to use icloud. It did not work the way I wanted and it just complicates things.

First go to Settings>iCloud on your device and confirm that everything is turned to Off, and that you are not syncing any data with iCloud before proceeding. (If you are, when you delete the data from iCloud it will also be deleted from your device and it will be lost.)
Then go to iCloud.com on your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on the red ribbon at the top to display your groups, click on All Contacts, to the right click on any single contact to select it,click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open your calendar on icloud.com, click Edit above the calendars list on the left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open your notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click the trash can icon at the bottom to delete it.
For Reminders, open them on icloud.com, click on each reminder, click on Details to the right, then click on the track can icon to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click a folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then click on the trash can icon at the top. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the upper right and select Empty Trash.
That's about it.

TS4009 I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my Macbook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account?

I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my MacBook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account? Because of this I can't access iMatch and the ICloud account I paid for on my MacBook
Any ideas cos its frustrating that I can't access something I paid for!

Sign out of the account you do not wish to use, sign into the one that you do wish to use.

How do I cancel iCloud in iPhone that I already sold to someone. The phone was busted so I sold it and I had no way to get on it

Hi! I may have a solution for you
This will involve erasing all data on the phone so make sure the buyer knows that the iphone will start erasing itself during this process
First, Make sure the buyer has turned on the phone and connected it to wifi
Log into https://www.icloud.com/
Click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.
