Deleting iCloud account off an iphone 4 (iOS 5) device - what happens?

I want to delete the icloud account off my sons iphone as it is using the same details as mine. I want to then create a new icloud account on his iphone.
The questions are...
By deleting the icloud account off his iphone, will it affect my iphone in any way (ie will I lose anything from my device)?
Will he lose anything which is currently on his iphone device, photos, contacts etc?

If your off the services "one by one" on his device (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts), you will be asked if you want to keep the contacts on his device. He will not lose camera roll photos, but he will lose the access to your Photo Stream.
If you delete the account on his device (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts > Delete Account) you will not lose anything on your device.

  • 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.
    Regars.

    No, it won't delete the account anywhere else.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • How to delete icloud account off my phone

    I got my iphone and stupidly backed it up from my compute. I know have my ex''s icloud account and I cant remove it. We are no longer in contact so I just want my icloud on there is there a way to delete it without the password? or add my account to it ?

    No, you will either need to enter the information that it is requesting (aka his password) or contact Apple.  Be prepared to provide a proof of purchase (like a receipt even if its a copy from online or you have to call and get it) if you need to call them. Contact Apple for support and service

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • I want to delete an iCloud account from my iPhone. It says I have to turn off 'Find my iPhone'. I can't do that because the applied on the iPhone is an old one to which I don't have access anymore. What do I do?

    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.

  • Will deleting my iCloud account off of my iPhone delete any information and pictures off of my phone?

    Having lost my original email password, and Icloud account password, will deleting my iCloud account off of my phone strip images from my photo stream? I am in desperate need of updating my Iphone and have already set up a new icloud account, but am worried that it will take with it's deletion valuable memory stored in my phone. Please help. I want to be rid of the  old account and use my new one, without loosing anything off of my actual phone

    You will lose the data stored in the iCloud account - like contacts, reminders, calendars, etc.  Photos will not be erased.  I'd sync to itunes before connecting to the new icloud account to be safe.
