Deletion of icloud account consequences to App Store, email and iTunes

Does deleting my icloud account on my iPad cause me open a new one for the App Store and iTunes, and a new email address?

The short answer is that you cannot change the iCloud mail account associated with your AppleID . You can create additional aliases (with some limitations), but you can also use different AppleIDs for different things (one for iCloud and email, another for itunes and app stores for example).

I need to delete my iCloud account, because i have two open and need to consolidate. How do i simply delete the account?

hi there, looking for help from anyone who may have had similar trouble. I'm sure it's a simple fix...

You can't delete an iCloud account, you can just choose to stop using it.
If you are signed into two accounts on your Mac, you can delete the secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts, highlighting the account and clicking the "-" below it. You can sign out of your main account in System Preferences>iCloud. If you need to consolidate data from the two accounts, drag and drop the data within the various apps from the account you will no longer be using into the one you will be keeping before doing so.

Delete the iCloud account associated with an old email address no longer in use...Help!

I am trying to delete the iCloud account on my iPhone that is associated with an old email address no longer in use, so I can set it up with my new email address. I am unable to delete the account until I turn off "Find my iPHone" which it won't let me do unless I log in under the old email address..... Problem is, I don't remember the password for the old address/account. It is no longer functional so I cannot request a reminder. I've already updated my iTunes/Apple ID with my new email address. I'm stuck!! Help!

You remember the answers to the security questions or you call Apple, talk to someone in account security, and prove to them that you own the account.

How to delete disabled icloud account without knowing the password/email

Hi
i just got a pre-used iphone 5S. It has a disabled icloud account. i tried to delete it but it asks me about the password.
i cant reset the account cause i don't know the email for verification.
also i can't restore using itunes because it asks to turn off find my iphone feature. and i can't turn it off because the account is disabled
how can I restore the iphone in this case?

You can't. There isn't a way to bypass Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695 Your only option is to return the phone if possible. If not, you have a useless device.

Need to delete icloud account, but I changed my email and password

I changed my iCloud login information to my new email address, and now I can't change my iCloud account on my iPhone because it's still using the old email address. When prompted for the password it fails because the ID/email address is no longer tied to my account and is no longer even a valid email address.
How can I change my iCloud account without these credentials?

If the old iCloud ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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. 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.

HT201371 Touch ID *only* for app-store purchases and iTunes

I'd like to enable Touch ID for app-store purchases/updates and for iTunes. However, I don't want to have to use a passcode or a touch id in order to unlock the phone. Is this possible?
I go to settings > touch id & passcode. I click the switch for app store and iTunes. Then it automatically turns on my passcode so I have to use my passcode to unlock my phone. I don't want this passcode to automatically be turned on.

that still should be up to my discretion. If i dont store anything I consider valuable in the first place, i shouldn't have to have a passcode.
I want touch id only for my iTunes purchases. Its inconvenient to have to enter it every time i buy something...but I dont want a passcode on my phone.
Lots of people use my phone at home (for various reasons) and i hate having to tell people the password every time someone new wants too look through it (for example, a dinner party i was at the other day, and everyone wanted to check out my new iPhone 6).
oh well. Its as first world as a problem gets, but within the scope of the apple universe/ecosystem, it irks me when i dont have the option to remove an annoyance.....i love just swiping the screen and immediately clicking on whatever app i need rather than waste 2 seconds positioning my thumb and wait for it to unlock. like i said, first world problem, but 2 seconds is a pain in the *** in my high speed tech world...and i hate myself just having to re-read what i just wrote

No deauthorise button available in iTunes account to sync apps between phone and iTunes

Message reads: "One computer is authorised to play content purchased with this Apple ID" However there is no button to deauthorise one or all computers. As a result i cannot sync apps back to iTunes from iPhone. If i do sync it will wipe all existing apps from the phone as the new version of itunes will not allow me to sync more than 5 computers. I have only ever had iTunes on one laptop previously so i don't know why i am receiving this. Is there a possible solution anyone can please recommend?

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

If I delete my iCloud account wool all my apps transfer to my moms laptop ?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I delete my iCloud account when it is sending a verification email to an address which is no longer accessible?

I recently changed my old iTunes User id from an old, defunct, and inaccessible email address to a new and active one. To do this I went to iTunes 'Manage your Account'. At the same time, I changed my password, and this has been working fine.
However, I now need to change my iCloud account, so I read up on it and saw that I needed to delete my old iCloud account and set up a new one with the new iTunes user id. When I tried to delete the iCloud account, it sent a verification email to the old, defunct email address, and will not allow me to go any further until I confirm the verification.
The problem is of course that I can't access the old email address to confirm the verification that iCloud has sent to it.
Solutions already tried:
Go into iTunes and 'Manage my account' - this doesn't work as there is no option to manage the iCloud account here, only the iTunes account
Reset the iTunes account to the old email address - this doesn't work, as it still sends a verification to the old email address, and I can't access it to confirm
Contacting Apple by email - tried this but they didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about!
Does anyone out there have any bright ideas? All welcome!

Use "Manage your Account" to change the primary email address.

How do i permanently delete an iCloud account

You can't delete an iCloud account, you can only sign out and stop using it.

Delete my iCloud account on old phone without affecting my iCloud account on my new phone

I've migrated my data and settings from my 4 to my 4s. The 4 tells me that if I delete my iCloud account it will update the Cloud and I will lose my Contacts and Photostream. What should I do? I want to purge this phone of all its data without losing my iCloud data on my new phone.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You will only remove the account and it's data from the device, it won't remove any data from the iCloud account itself.

On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?

They were initially setup with the smae Apple ID but when you delete the iCloud account from the phone you disassociate iCloud items on your phone.
If you want to rid the device of the Apple ID completely you will need to sign out in seceral places:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Settings > Messages > Turn off iMessage
Setings > FaceTime > Turn off FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
Settings > Game Center > Apple ID > Sign out
Note: You can keep the iTunes & App Stores sign in to share purchases without any effect on anything else
You should consider getting your own Apple ID.

For all Users...I just fixed mine and am now able to log on.
Yesterday there was a Quick Time update to 7.3.1 that fixed a security issue that was allowing access to your computers. I thought that my auto update would install this and it didn't. I had to manually download from apple and install the update.

I used the "with iTunes" version and now I can log into my account with out the "null" error appearing.
This was pointed out to my by QuickDraw so he gets all of the credit.

Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.
