Delete someone else's icloud account on my ipad

I am using an iPad with someone else's iCloud Account number. How do I delete this account and add mine?

How do I delete someone else's iCloud account?

We bought the iPad (2012) and my partner didn't like it so she gave it to me. She had already signed into and set up the iCloud, however, before handing it over and I am trying to figure out how to delete her iCloud account from the iPad. Every time I use it to send mail, it automatically sends from under her account, even though I am using it under my gmail account. This has confounded me to no end. I do consider myself pretty computer savvy, but this is my first rodeo with an Apple product and I refuse to go back to a PC ever again. Therefore, I am putting my question out there for Apple techies to give me guidance as I am perplexed and confuddled and need some answers ASAP.
I await any and appreciate all replies.

How to delete somebody else's iCloud Account from my iPad Air?

Hi,
Recently I have bought an iPad Air on a eBay-like site. There the seller said that the item was new but when I chacked the serial number, the device was already registered since January. Regardless ths I reset it, created an Apple ID for me and started registering the things under my name. When it came to iCloud, I have found that all my data was been transferred to somebody else's iCloud account. I tried to delete this account to put mine, but for this it requires the password of this other user.
I have contacted the seller, who informed that in fact he didn't know about it because he only won it and decided to resell it, but promissed to investigate and try to resolve it, but in fact I guess I cant cound so much on it and I'm pretty dissapointed and lost with this situation. Do you guys know what I could to remove this account?
Thanks in advance!

You will not be able to find the previous user in any Apple database. They wouldn't share that information with anyone as they would be violating privacy issues - unless of course they were directed to do so by a court order.
There is just something that bothers me about this whole situation and I feel for you, but I would also hesitate to email somebody that I didn't know about asking him to erase his iCloud account. How the iPad could go from one owner to another owner and now to you, without being erased, just gives me a bad feeling, but that's just how I feel about it.
I guess though at this point, you know worlds more about him than he knows about you if you have his name and email address.

How to delete someone else's iCloud account on your iPhone without password?

I purchased my old iPhone 4 off a friend when I lost my phone at the time. All of my music and photos on that phone were under her iCloud account.
Now that I have just got a new iPhone 6, when I backed up all of my photos, music etc. onto iTunes and synced up my new phone, it transferred her iCloud account to my new phone. She does not remember her password, and it will not let me delete this account without the password. I have spent hours searching the internet for a solution but have had no luck. Surely someone else has had this happen to them in the past.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hello megneth,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to get an iCloud account signed out of your iPhone, you will need to have the previous owner sign out with their Apple ID login information. If they do not remember their Apple ID password, then they can reset it by following the directions in the article below.

What will happen if I delete my husband's iCloud account from my iPad?

What will happen if I delete my husband's iCloud account from my iPad?

You can delete the iCloud Account from your device but that doesn’t delete your account on iCloud.com. You can still use the user name and password you selected when signing up for iCloud to log in on the iCloud website.

Hello lesley142
To sign out of what ever Apple ID is signed in, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then tap the Apple ID and you will see an option to sign out.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

My iPad is mysteriously registered to someone else's iCloud account. How do I fix this?

Forced to restore my entire iPad cart after Apple Configurator error. I began to restore the iPad and left it plugged in to iTunes over the weekend. Now the iPad is mysteriously registered to a Chinese email account and I cannot do anything with it. Help!? I have never had this problem before. also, how can I prevent this from ever happening again?

One of your users apparently set up his or her own iCloud account on the device. Without that Apple ID or the cooperation of that use, there's nothing you can do on your own. However, I've read this:
Streamlined email process for removing activation lock
AppleCare has announced a new process to assist institutions with returned devices which may be activated locked. For customers who experience this for the first time please call AppleCare at 800-800-2775 so that the process and needed documentation can be explained. After the initial call customers can email with the required documentation for all Activation Lock Removal requests.
So call Apple Support and discuss the issue with them.

How do I delete someone else's ID account in my App's on my Mac?

I was looking for a cursor locator, so a friend of mine sent me a link to buy PinPoint via my App's store, but when I clicked on his link, it wanted the password to his email address. Whatever I tried, I couldn't get rid of it. So I purchased PinPoint on my second computer, but my main computer (Mac Pro), there's a PinPoint update, so when I click on Update, it wants my friends password.
How do I get rid of his email address and see mine? I logged out and back into my account, but that didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
A Finder window may open with an item selected. If it does, move the selected item to the Trash. Log out and log back in. Test. You'll have to re-enter your Apple ID and App Store settings.

How do I remove an iCloud account from an iPad?

My aunt set up my grandmother's iPad and used her iTunes/iCloud information. My grandmother wanted to be able to buy things from the store so I created an account for her with iTunes, but I can't figure out how to remove my aunt's Apple ID from the iPad.
I need to back up her information to the iCloud so she doesn't loose the information and apps before I can reset her iPad, but right now I can only back it up to my aunt's account which would put me right back where I am now.
Thanks for any assistance you can give.

Thank you so much for your fast response! We were worried that deleted my aunt's iCloud account from the iPad would delete it everywhere and she would loose her information.
I don't have an iPad so I was flying blind.

How do I delete a student's iCloud account from a school iPad?

My school has iPads that we check out to students. They are all set up with the school's Apple ID. I've had a student set up her iCloud account on one of the iPads using her OLD Apple ID and now can't remember the password to remove it. The only thing set up using the student's appleID is the iCloud account. Is there a way to remove the student's iCloud account from the iPad?
The only things I'm allowed to select in the iCloud section of settings is the terms and conditions and the delete account. Everything else is unselectable. When i click "terms and conditions" I get the message: unable to connect to server. When I select "delete account" it wants the password that can't be remembered.
Thanks for your help.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
If the student can't remember her Apple ID, she'll need to try to recover it, either by this web page:
https://iforgot.apple.com
or by calling Apple Support and asking to speak with Account Security. There's no way you can get past the Activation Lock without that student's Apple ID and password. If she can't recover the account and remove the iPad from her iCloud account, you may be able to contact Apple Support and with proof that the school owns the iPad there may be something Apple can do, though I've not confirmed that.
Regards.

You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.

How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?

How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?
It requires i log into FindMyiPad to delete the iCloud account however the Apple ID has changed therefore the username/password no longer exists.
This is just sending me in circles to log into to a non-existant apple id with no password to delete my iCloud so i can log in with my updated apple ID.

Settings/iTunes and App Store log out then log in with new ID. you might want to change ID in iMessage, FaceTime and Siri and delete the cloud account and create one with new ID. remember apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them and can only be updated with that ID

How to complete delete everything from my icloud account. Like brand new.

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.) When you turn these off, you will be given the option to keep the data on your device.
To delete your contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open your calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each 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 press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
To delete your my photo stream photos, open the album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap the trash icon. If you want to keep a copy of them on your device, save them to your camera roll first.
