How do i delete my icloud account if i don't have the iphone anymore?
How do i delete or deactivate my icloud account on an iphone that i no longer own...I sold it to someone, but they said that i need to delete my icloud account..im kinda new to this stuff and don't have a clue what to do, can anyone help me with this or give me some advice? thank you
In a web browser, log in to your www.icloud.com account. Under the find my devices, you can erase the device, then delete it from your list of devices. That will effectively disable Activation Lock on the device.

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!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.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I'm trying to use a different iCloud account because the old account has an outdated email and now everytime i try to delete the iCloud accound it doesn't let me without a password. I don't remember the password and I can't reset it either since the email account it is linked to does not exist anymore. PLEASE HELP
If you have a current iCloud ID that is a newer version of the old ID (and not 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 iPhone and delete the old account. Then go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.
If the old ID is not an older version of your current iCloud ID, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance resetting the password, either by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699. -
How do you delete an itunes account when you don't have the password.
My partner's itunes account was hacked. She cannot get into it. Neither her id nor her password work. Apple has said they will put a "hold" on the account, but this renders itunes useless and it seems you can't start a new (second) itunes account on the same iPad/iPhone/iPod. How can you delete the itunes account altogether so that she can start a new one?
I assume you're using an iOS and not an OSX device here. If not, then let me know.
Go to Settings>Scroll down to iTunes and App Stores>Click Apple ID>Click Sign Out
Then, create a new account on the web and sign in
I hope this works -

Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device. -

You need to have those as they are the license to use the music you RIP'd from them. -
How do I delete my ICloud account if I no longer have an Iphone5c?
My wife bought me the iPhone 5c and I ended up not liking it and took it back for a samsung galaxy 3. My phone isn't accepting texts sent from anyone with an iPhone as my number is registering as having an iPhone in iMessage. Please help! The only thing I can think of is if I delete my iCloud account it will fix this big???
Deleting your iCloud account won't fix this. If you registered your device with a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregister it. Also, you can try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

I tried to use backup info in so many different areas....and I CAN NOT GET THE RIGHT PASSWORD.
I NEED TO OVERRIDE ICLOUD TO DELETE THE ACCOUNT IM LOGGED INTO.
I want to sign in using an account I recently remembered all information for.
SOMEONE HELP.Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -
How do i delete an old account when i don't know the password or have access to the email?
it keeps wanting to sign me back into my old iCloud address.. main problem is that the 'find my iPhone' app can't be deleted and changed to the new iCloud because I can't remember the password and the email it's linked to was hacked so I have no access and therefore can't reset my password!? Need to do it urgently now as it's been smashed and going off for repair and they won't repair/ replace it without that app deleted!
If I'm understanding this correctly, you have a broken iPhone that needs repaired, however you need to disable Find My iPhone before the repair can be completed and you cannot remember the password to that account?
First to try on your own, go to iforgot.apple.com. Use the AppleID that was used to set up that iPhone or was signed into iCloud. You will be given a choice of reset by email or security questions. Since the email is out of the question, you'll choose security questions.
If you cannot remember the answers, or more likely how you entered them as the answer are case sensitive, then you'll have to contact AppleCare. They can attempt to verify the account with you, and if they can then send a reset password email to any email address you choose. Just be aware that if you have to use this route, it will take a minimum of 24 hours for the email to arrive. Make sure the email provider accepts email from @id.apple.com.
If you cannot verify the account, then AppleCare can have FMiP removed from that device, but you will have to send in the purchase receipt for that device. It has to be a valid receipt from a qualified reseller, so eBay sales receipts or hand written ones will not work. That process can take up to 48 hours to complete as the FMiP team has to verify all the info. If they can, then they will strip FMiP from the device and assign it to a different AppleID. -
My IPhone5 wants my password, but it doesn't have the right email address on it. It won't let me delete the icloud because it demands that I give it the password that icloud has stored. Please help!
The iCloud account is your account ? If it's somebody else's account then you will need to contact that person and ask them to remove the phone from their account.
If it is your account then see if you can get the password reset via http://appleid.apple.com
If you can't then try contacting Support in your country and see if they get you access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

How do I delete a wifi network when I don't have the password?
Yesterday, I had some work done on my home network, which affected all my wireless devices. I was able to get everything up and running, but the Ipad. I have a different type of encryption now and can't connect to my Ipad. My nephew, who did the work, wants me to delete the current wifi and then start over so it will see the current wifi network. The network that is showing is my new network name, but I type in the password and I get an unable to join/dismiss message. I have tried to reset network settings, but I still see the same network. My nephew won't be back until later in the week, I miss the wifi.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
NanI'm not sure if this will work for you, but it's worth a shot.
TRY THIS:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > select 'Other...' > Enter Network Name and Security Password > select 'Join'
MY SETTINGS:
The router is set to WPA2 Encryption. The iPhone 'Wi-Fi Networks' settings is set to 'Ask to Join Networks'
ISSUE BACKGROUND:
I had a problem where my iDevice (iPhone 4) would not automatically connect to my Wi-Fi router even though the name - linksys - was always present. I didn't want to 'Reset Network Settings' yet as there were some hotspots I didn't want to have to go through the hassle of entering 16 to 32 character passwords again. I was planning to try the 'Forget this Network' option, but it wasn't present. I tried the step above as a long shot and it worked. Hope this helps. -

How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?
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
