Deleted Microsoft Exchange iphone account and can't create a new one

I was having problems with my Hotmail account and so deleted it with the intention of setting it up again. Now I am unable to add my account in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar and get the message "Account Already Exists. Only one Exchange ActiveSync account can be configured". But I don't have any other accounts. How can I get it to recognise that I have deleted the original account?
Is there a way around this without resetting the phone?

Try this, perhaps your exchange account was by profile:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to General
3. Go to Profile
4. Click on the profile and then click on the Remove and you will get a warning. ALSO, BY REMOVING THIS PROFILE YOU WILL ALSO REMOVE THE CERTIFICATES and WIFI/VPN settings that the profile may also had included.

  • Can't sync anything with my microsoft account and can't create a new one?

    Hi,
    I have recently done a software update to Windows 8.1 and now every time I try to access an app it prompts me to sign in to sync my data. I follow the screen prompts using my email address and password (the same as the one I have used to access this forum
    so my current working microsoft account) and it says a microsoft account with this email address already exists on this PC. 
    I get through to the validation code page section, the code is sent to my phone, I enter it, the cloud information page is displayed the switch to microsoft account option appears I click switch and it says an account already exists on this PC???
    If  I try to choose the alternative option of creating a new account with the same email address (my main email account) I have the same issue which is an account already exists. 
    I have lost data and can't sync any music tracks etc - hugely frustrating!
    What do I do??

    Hi,
    What's your current User Account? Local Account or Microsoft Account? If local account, please sign out and switch to Microsoft Account. If not, it should have problem with your Microsoft Account, please try to delete it from your system and readd it for
    test.

  • Lost Network and Can't Create a New One

    Well, after 5 years of uninterrupted and trouble-free internet with my Airport Express, I tried adding a password using a tip in this forum. Now, I've lost everything. My network is gone and all attempts to create a new one continue to fail.
    I've tried resetting the Airport Express with a paperclip, only to continue receiving the blinking amber light.
    Now, I have to type on a tiny phone just to get help.
    I need a totally idiot-proof, step-by-step instructions, that even a very slow 1st-grader could understand on how to get online again. At this point, I don't even care if terrorists can get into my non-protected network. I just need to get online, please.
    Thanks.

    Are there any dead-simple tutorials to add a password?
    Just use AirPort Utility to put the AirPort Express into "manual setup" mode, select the AirPort panel and the Wireless tab. "Wireless Mode" should be set to "Create a wireless network". If your other equipment is compatible, set "Wireless Security" to "WPA2 Personal", then type a password into the two field below. Then click "Update".
    Every time I try it, it keeps forcing me choose things that end up ruining everything.
    Can you give examples?
    Do I have to make a new network and rename things?
    You already have a wireless network. You can rename it in the same panel identified above.

  • How do I delete an existing iCloud account and transfer everything to my new one?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts that now need extra storage... I only need 1 account. I ended up purchasing a plan for more storage on the 1st one and then my phone would no longer back up because it's running on the other account... Now it needs more storage!  Can you help me delete the one I don't use and make this all better?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
    You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
    Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
    Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
    You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
    As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

  • Can't get in iPod with my old account (that I also can't get in) and can't create a new one of there?

    Hello. I have an iPod Touch 5G with iOS 7.0.4 I suppose. I was locked out due to forgotten passcode, so I had to reset factory settings. When the new user guide screen came on, it said "Please sign in with the account used on this iPod, which is m*******@yahoo.com", I know that is my old account and I know the email username and password to it. When I log in, it says "disabled for security reasons". I make new accounts but it wont let me use in towards my iPod. I can't get in my account because I can't get in my email!!! Is there a way to make a NEW account on the iPod when I just restarted it with these please sign in with the acc---blahblah?

    You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    To recovery use of that account:
    Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
    This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
    If not successful, contact iTunes

  • If I delete my free iCloud email address, can I create a new one for free?

    Or did I blow my only free chance?

    Yes, they're all free but you can only create 3 on each device, including iOS devices as well as Macs.  You can use the same account on multiple devices, but you can only create a maximum of 3 accounts on each device.
    This has nothing to do with email aliases.  An alias is simply an email address that disguises your actual email address.  This is useful to have it your want to use it for signing up for accounts on websites, etc., where you don't want to give out your real email address.  Email sent to an alias arrives in the same inbox as email sent to your real email address.  You can have up to three email aliases for your account, but again, this has nothing to do with the maximum of creating 3 iCloud accounts per device.  This is discussed in more detail here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • Lost Events and can't create any new ones

    I have all my pictures, but my events for 18,000 photos suddenly disappeared. When I tried to create new events so that I could re-create the events (not something I'm thrilled about for that many pictures) the "Create Event" in the "Events" menu is grayed out. Each time I now upload pics from my camera an event is created but I'm not able create events myself.

    1. Save yourself the bother of re-creating Events by restoring from your back up.
    2. You must have at least one pic selected for the Create Events option to be available.
    3. I'm on 09, but iirc there is also an Events -> Autosplit Selected Events command in 08. This will do the job automatically.

  • I damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

    Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted (if running iOS 7).  Then sign back in with a different ID to create your new account.  Be sure to save any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll before deleting the account by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    If you want to migrate your data to the new account, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.
