How do I delete my icloud account on my phone so I can enter the new icloud name.

I just changed my icloud email address and now am trying to delete the icloud account on my iphone so I can add the new address. The app will not accept my password to delete the account. I have entered the old password (since this account I am deleting is the old email address) and I have tried to enter the new password that is on the new email account for icloud. Neither is working. I have powered off and tried again, not luck.

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime 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 iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iPhone 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.

How do I delete my email account from my phone?

I don't want to receive my email to my phone. I just want to be able to use the browser when I need it. I don't want to keep getting emails every time I get junk mail. Does anyone know how to delete that from my phone so I wont get anymore messages saying I have email?

Delete it the same way you added it. There should be an icon on your home screen for "Setup Internet Email" or "Manage Internet Email" and you can use that to delete your email account from the BIS system.

How do I delete a Gmail message on my phone, but keep it on the server so I can deal with it on my iMac? What settings are required, or is this impossible?

How do I delete a message in my gmail account, but keep it on the server so I can see it on my iMac when I log into gmail.com? I set up the gmail account on my iphone NOT through the colored "gmail button" but through "add account." And I've enabled IMAP in the settings when I log in on my computer to gmail.com.
Thanks!

Gmail uses IMAP. It's designed to keep all of your devices in sync. If you delete on one, it will be deleted on all of them. However, deleted means that it's in the trash. You could always retrieve it when you're using your Mac. Or, just create a folder that you move things to to deal with later.
Best of luck.

How do I view the songs on my iPod and how do I delete some songs and pictures that are on my iPod through the new iTunes

I just bought an iPod off of a friend andher ex put alot of terrible music and pictures on it and I want to delete some music but I can't see what is on The iPod through the iTunes so I can erase music. So all I wanna know is how do I see and erase the stuff on my iPod using iTunes on my lab top

If you have iTunes 11 on your laptop then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to connect the iPod and it should show on that left-hand sidebar, and underneath it should be a Music section e.g. similar to :
Select that and the music should be shown on the right-hand side of iTunes, which you can then use to delete it.
You should be able to remove all content from the iPod directly on it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings, as any apps etc that are on it will be tied to the previous owner's id - that will also remove any photos from the iPod

TS3899 My iPhone suddenly started telling me my gmail password is incorrect, but it's not. I can still sign into my gmail account from computers with that same pw. I deleted my gmail account in my phone, but I can't re-add it b/c it still says my pw is in

The problem has persisted for several weeks. I've updated to iOS7, but that didn't help. It just keeps telling me my password is incorrect, and I want to smash it into a wall!

I also had this problem. I was unable to add a gmail account after a wipe and new install of ios 7. I went to gmail, found the 2-step verification page https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839?rd=1 and once on my own 2-step verification page, went to the app-specific passwords tab. This allowed me to generate a password for mail on the phone. This password replaced the normal password that I use for the account. A lot of work, but it worked.

How do I delete an email account from my phone and add a new one?

I have 3 Email Accounts set-up on my phone and would like to delete one and set-up a new one. The problem is that all 3 accounts are muted so I can't select one to delete. The "Add Account" button is also muted so I can't select that button either. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?

Thank you so very much! That was just what I needed to do, problem solved.

How do you delete a photo album off your phone that doesn't have the delete option available? and the photos section on iTunes has no photos synced?

so I have an iPhone 4s and a while back I put a photo album on my phone, but now I cannot delete it!! The delete option isn't there to do it on my device and I have tried unchecking the synced photos button on iTunes and that doesn't work, I just want them off my phone.

If unchecking and syncing in iTunes doesn’t work, you may have to use a third party tool like iPhone PC suite. With it, you can delete the photos and videos in Camera Roll, pictures in apps, pictures transferred from computer to iPhone and more. Use “Crtl + A” (for Windows) or “Command + A” (for Mac) to select all the pictures in an album and delete them, the album will disappear automatically.

How do I delete an Itunes account and an appleID?

You can't. Not directly any way.
You would need to contact iTunes Account Security and have them remove it.
Know, however, that any purchases made with that Apple ID will go away with the Apple Id when its deleted, and will have to be purchased again if required.

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

thanks for any help

you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

How do I delete an icloud account on my iphone 6?

Hey Liz,
You should be able to sign out of an iCloud account by going to Settings > iCloud and scroll to the bottom and you will see an option to sign out the account. If you have multiple accounts, then you can go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and choose the account and scroll down to the same sign out option.

How do I delete an icloud account so it is no longer accessible?

How do I delete an icloud account from the phone so the user can no longer access the account from phone or anyother device.

I don't think you can delete an iCloud account once it's created; you can just delete the account from all of your devices and stop using it. You can also sign into the account on iCloud.com and delete any content (contacts, calendars, etc.) so it isn't available to any device that may sign into it.
