How do i delete an apple id account from an ipod touch?

I have an ipad and iphone. My son has an ipod touch. My son entered his icloud with my apple id and he needs his own otherwise we are getting each others imessages and contacts. How do I separate?
I DID go to ICloud settings and DELETE the account but then when I went back in, it came right back.

He needs to set up his own Apple ID. He will need to reset his iPod Touch in order to reconfigure it for his Apple ID.
Either he needs to do this on his own computer or you need to create a separate user account for him on your computer.
Apple IDs cannot be deleted. They can be edited or abandoned.

  • How do I delete unwanted built in apps from my ipod touch ios 5.1.1

    How do I delete unwanted built in apps from my iPod Touch, ios 5.1.1?  I want to conserve memory on my device.

    Well, you can't delete them totally...but you could stop using them or reset them. Just erase everything you use in those apps. You could also block them using parental controls, this will take them off your home screen but no, you cannot completely delete these apps.
    Hope this helps you

  • How do i delete an Apple id after my old ipod touch 1G was stolen

    Having problem after my ipod touch got pinched from my mates car. He left it open by the beach duh!
    So now someone else knows my ID - it is floating about somewhere in the settings and acount info on my old device right?
    Can I swop that old Apple ID which was a @Yahoo account and get Apple to just allow me to sign in under my icloud.com address only?
    Feeling quite gutted about losing the ipod but more so about the ID security issue.
    Can anyone help with what maybe a dunce's question?
    Its just I tried tinkering with the Account settings like this:
    Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same.
    Your Apple ID will be easier to remember, and your account will be easier to access and manage.
    Change your Apple ID and primary email address to:
    But it never takes effect. So how can I stop Apple allowing anyone access to my account by using this email to log in?
    I'll take my chances with remembering a new email address - so long as its not on the ipod that got lost I dont mind.
    PS: there was no email account setting on the ipod touch as I just used it for music/video storage only

    If I read you correctly, your main reason for wanting to take action is so that whoever stole your iPhone will not know your Apple ID.
    To my knowledge, there's no way to log out of your Apple ID on your iPhone, seeing as it's stolen. You may as well erase your iPhone, since it's lost anyways. To do that, go to icloud.com and then Find My iPhone. You can find your iPhone and erase it from there.

  • How do I delete an Apple iCloud account from my iPhone without password, security questions, or email?

    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 do I delete an Apple ID account. I apparently have 2 IDs associated with one email address.

    how do I delete an Apple ID account. I apparently have 2 IDs associated with one email address.

    If you go onto your ipod, under settings, scroll down to icloud, there should be a botton that says, "delete account". push this, and it should delete an account.

  • HT204161 How do I delete an email address associated with an apple id? And how do I deleted an apple id account?

    How do I delete an email address associated with an apple id? And how do I deleted an apple id account?

    Right, if the Apple ID is already set up, then you cannot change it to None until you put a credit card on the account.
    If you set up a brand new Apple ID by first downloading a Free app, and then setting up the ID as a part of that process, then it can be None.
    Here's the support article with the info on how to do it either way:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

  • How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info

    How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...

    If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then 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 should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    If you mean you have two different icloud accounts, then I don't think you can delete one.  You can just change the account ID on your iphone to the other account.

  • HT204053 how erase the AOL account from my ipod touch???

    how erase the AOL account from my ipod touch??? alway i update apps appear on the screen different a email of mine and i cant erase

    Thank you both for your answers. 
    @danacarolina7: the problem with doing that, is that as soon as you plug your iPod up to your computer, the deleted songs are automatically re-added to your iPod from iTunes.  It appears that there's no permanent way to delete songs from your iPod, using your iPod. 

  • How do i change the i tunes account on my ipod touch

    how do i change the i tunes account on my ipod touch

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    The Apple ID is also used in:
    Settings>iCloud
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>Messages>Send and receive

  • How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch?

    How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch? For instance: I don't want the app "Stocks" to appear on my screen any more. Is there a way to delete/hide it?

    The built in Apps can't be deleted, but they can be moved to an unused screen. You could create a folder of all unused Apps and move it.

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?
