Delete an uncertified iCloud account on my iPhone
Hi,
I made an @hotmail account for my daughter with I never was able to access again - her iCloud account on her iPhone is now on status uncertified, and Im not able to delete the account but just log of - none of the passwords I made at the time will work - and I am furious!!! She got a new iCloud account I rather use... But how can I get this @hotmail removed?
Appreciate any urgent help,
thanks in advance!

You need to either contact Apple's Account Security team, or if you're the device's original owner, ask Apple to unlock it.

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?
If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current 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 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.

How do I delete a duplicated iCloud account from my iPhone?
How do I delete a duplicated icloud

I have an Icloud account set up on my Iphone which is outdated - I no longer have access to the password or email address. I want to delete this and replace with my new and current Icould but it seems not to want to let me.
I have tried to delete the Icloud account but I need the password to do this (because Find My Iphone is switched to On).
I have tried to access the support site to change my password but it will not accept my date of birth as personal ID so blocks me there. I cannot reset the password by email as I no longer have access to the email address.
Is there a way to change the Icloud account on an iphone without needing a password to delete the old one?
Thankshttps://iforgot.apple.com/

For some reason, an old iD is stuck on my phone. My iPhone 4s is nearly filled with documents and data, to the point where I cannot take pictures, and I can't reset it without using this old iD. I don't know why this is now popping up instead of the one I am registered with. I gained access to the old email the iD is under, but none of the iTunes emails are coming in so I assume it is set up under a different email. For the security question of birthdays, I tried every household member's birthday, and none worked. I have tried the password we used on that account when it was active, along with every other possiblility. I don't know what to do anymore and I have very limited use of my phone if I don't get this sorted out and deleted from my phone.
Thank you for any help!Not without password.

How can I access documents from multiple iCloud accounts on my iPhone?
I have a business and a personal life that are both heavily influenced by my Apple products and all stay in sync via iCloud. My only issue is that in order to access both personal and business iwork documents on the go, I have to carry two iphones with me - which really is inconvenient. Of course I could just use the business iphone but then I would not be able to access my family photo stream which is very important to me.
Any help would be appreciated. I would think that there would be a simple solution to my issue but I need your help finding it.
Thank you!There has to be a better solution than deleting and switching icloud accounts on my iphone each time I need to look at my work documents...

I have given my 4s to my wife, she has an iCloud account which uses her work address, she has now left the company and we want to start a new iCloud account, trouble is we cannot delete the old account, we have created a new iCloud account but the iPhone won't let us log into it as it only recognises the old version, we can't access her email anymore to reset the account. Have tried all online help. We restored the phone through iTunes
Ah thanks Razmee however there is NO option to delete the iCloud account in settings!

Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?
From the iPhone only.

For some reason the iCloud account on my iPhone has reverted to an old Appleid. I now can't get rid of it for the above reason--I can't turn 'Find my iPhone' off since that old appleid is no longer active and I don't have access to the email address since its from an old job. I am in a catch 22. I can't move for
If the old ID is yours, and if your current 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 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.

How can I delete an iCloud account off my iPhone 5 with iOS 7?
I have an iPhone 5 that's been updated with iOS 7 and am wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible to delete another persons iCloud account off my phone without knowing the password and only using my iPhone to do it as I don't have a computer at home but if it can only be done on a computer that's fine I can get access to one if need be but would rather know how to do it from my iPhone, the iCloud setting has let me add another new acc but I want to delete the old one altogether if possible?! Any help is much appreciated, thank you.
If your iPhone has been set up with another person's iCloud account, then you will need that person's Apple ID and password, or will need them to remove the iPhone from their iCloud account. There is no other way past the Activation Lock.

Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.
Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1. Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2. Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3. Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,

I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?
You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well. -
