  • How can i delete my icloud account from apple?

    I dont like my icloud user name or email. So can I delee it completly from apple then create a new one?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    To do that, you will have to create a new Apple ID with a new iCloud account, and I think it's not a valid answer. Instead, I recommend you to contact with iCloud support and ask them to change the iCloud mail address > http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact If they can't, then you have to create a new Apple ID and a iCloud account

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • 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

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

  • How can i delete an icloud account from my iphone

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone. I have two icloud accounts the old one just can not retrieve the pwd to access it

    If the old ID is your ID, and if your second 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.

  • Can I delete an icloud account from apple's system with out password

    My mom is 88..  Apple help desk got her set up for an icould account she did not need becuse they misunderstood the nature of help she needed. It is a second uncessary account and is wreaking havoc with her iPad.  My mom can not remember her password.  How can I permanantely remove the account from Apple's system. 

    Apple IDs (which are used to establish various types of accounts like icloud and itunes store) cannot be permanently deleted, nor can the accounts.  Just don't use the account in question if you don't want it.
    If this is about icloud, then on her ipad, Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  In the future she can always log back in.  If she needs to do this, then to deal with a forgotten password...
    Try the following link to reset your password.

  • How do I delete an icloud account from a used iphone3gs?

    I bought a used apple iphone3gs. When I try to download an app, it asks for the other persons password. I made an account for myself, but it doesn't seem to recognise that when I'm trying to get new apps. Can I delete that persons account without having their password, if so how? Thanks so much!

    App updates have nothing to do with the iCloud account, but if you want to delete that just go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (this only deletes it from the phone, not from iCloud).
    You're getting the prompt for the other person's password when you update apps because there must be app(s) on your phone that were purchased with their ID.  (Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.)  The only way to stop this is to delete this (these) app(s) from your phone (and from iTunes) and repurchase them with your ID.  Aslo verify that your ID is set in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.  If not, tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in with your ID.
