How do i delete my icloud account from a 5s with ios8, there is no Delete Account option under Settings iCloud

I am recycling my 5s and there are instructions from the purchasing company that I need to remove the icloud account. They say go to:
Settings>iCloud>Delete Account
Enter Apple ID password
Then select turn off
This makes no sense to me as the delete option is not there under ios8
But can I achieve the same effect by turning off find my iPhone and then erasing the phone?
This is confusing as I am used to ios7 which does allow you to follow the steps numbered above.
Thanks

If you updated your ID but your device is still signed into the older version and you sign out to change it, try the troubleshooting steps here: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.  The last one (temporarily recreating the old ID) usually works.

  • How do i delete a Facebook event from my iPhone 5? (there is no delete button or edit button)

    Hi
    I cannot delete an facebook event from my Iphone 5. This event has been accepted by email invite.
    There is no edit or delete button at the top or bottom of the screen when I tap the event to search out its details.
    How do I remove such an event from my Ical calendar on my Iphone 5?

    I am not sure how this works but it seems that it may be all or nothing.
    To turn off Facebook events on your device:
    Settings > Facebook > Calendars > Off
    If you do not want to disable everything, maybe this thread will help:

  • TS3999 my icloud calendar from gmail syncs with my ipad and gmail but won't sync on icloud on my pc

    My ipad mini and my gmail contacts are syncing but if I go to icloud.com not of my calendar events are listed.  In the upper left corner it just says CALENDAR. My ipad mini is set up to sync with my gmail account and that seems to be working.  I tested entering a new event on my ipad and it synced to my gmail calendar but won't sync to icloud.com apple account.

    See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
    This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
    Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting  syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

  • HT4623 How do I update the software on my iPad? There's no software update option under settings. It says it's version 4.3.3? I have an iPhone but it seems different for some reason

    Updating my iPad iOS?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • 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

    If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
    If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device. 
    Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase.  If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them.  You'll have to purchase them again.

  • How can i delete a video in photos of ipad 2? there is no delete icon!

    How can i delete a video in photos of ipad 2? there is no delete icon!

    They are deleted in the same way as photos, which are deleted by : only photos/videos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/wesites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo/video in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. Photos/videos that were synced from your computer are deleted by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing.

    Hi!
    I understand that Computer 1 is synced and you see something like this when you access the Sync Tab under Preferences: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-25-9c0352.png
    And in Computer 2 you get a window similar to this: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/compcode.jpg
    But when you click on Add Device the following window doesn't appear: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-48-5f59d1.png
    Is this correct? If so, please let me know what you see (a screenshot will be handy).

    Hi there Dave, aka @dewanio , welcome back
    I saw that you are looking to print off a configuration page.
    The printer itself will print a test page however, the model depends on how it will print. Let me know which printer you have and I will get back to you!
