How do I delete someone else's iCloud account?

We bought the iPad (2012) and my partner didn't like it so she gave it to me. She had already signed into and set up the iCloud, however, before handing it over and I am trying to figure out how to delete her iCloud account from the iPad. Every time I use it to send mail, it automatically sends from under her account, even though I am using it under my gmail account. This has confounded me to no end. I do consider myself pretty computer savvy, but this is my first rodeo with an Apple product and I refuse to go back to a PC ever again. Therefore, I am putting my question out there for Apple techies to give me guidance as I am perplexed and confuddled and need some answers ASAP.
I await any and appreciate all replies.

  • Delete someone else's icloud account on my ipad

    I am using an iPad with someone else's iCloud Account number. How do I delete this account and add mine?

    Hello genebush,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please see the information in the article linked to below about removing a previous owner's iCloud information from an iOS device.

  • How to delete someone else's iCloud account on your iPhone without password?

    I purchased my old iPhone 4 off a friend when I lost my phone at the time. All of my music and photos on that phone were under her iCloud account.
    Now that I have just got a new iPhone 6, when I backed up all of my photos, music etc. onto iTunes and synced up my new phone, it transferred her iCloud account to my new phone. She does not remember her password, and it will not let me delete this account without the password. I have spent hours searching the internet for a solution but have had no luck. Surely someone else has had this happen to them in the past.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Hello megneth,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to get an iCloud account signed out of your iPhone, you will need to have the previous owner sign out with their Apple ID login information.  If they do not remember their Apple ID password, then they can reset it by following the directions in the article below.

  • How do I delete someone else's ID account in my App's on my Mac?

    I was looking for a cursor locator, so a friend of mine sent me a link to buy PinPoint via my App's store, but when I clicked on his link, it wanted the password to his email address. Whatever I tried, I couldn't get rid of it. So I purchased PinPoint on my second computer, but my main computer (Mac Pro), there's a PinPoint update, so when I click on Update, it wants my friends password.
    How do I get rid of his email address and see mine? I logged out and back into my account, but that didn't help.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    A Finder window may open with an item selected. If it does, move the selected item to the Trash. Log out and log back in. Test. You'll have to re-enter your Apple ID and App Store settings.

  • How to complete delete everything from my icloud account.

    How to complete delete everything from my icloud account. Like brand new.

    First go to Settings>iCloud on your device and confirm that everything is turned to Off, and that you are not syncing any data with iCloud before proceeding.  (If you are, when you delete the data from iCloud it will also be deleted from your device and it will be lost.)  When you turn these off, you will be given the option to keep the data on your device.
    To delete your contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    For Calendars, open your calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
    For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
    For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
    For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key.  Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash.  When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
    To delete your my photo stream photos, open the album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap the trash icon. If you want to keep a copy of them on your device, save them to your camera roll first.

  • How to delete somebody else's iCloud Account from my iPad Air?

    Hi,
    Recently I have bought an iPad Air on a eBay-like site. There the seller said that the item was new but when I chacked the serial number, the device was  already  registered since January. Regardless ths I reset it, created an Apple ID for me and started registering the things under my name. When it came to iCloud, I have  found that all my data was been transferred to somebody else's iCloud account. I tried to delete this account to put mine, but for this it  requires the password of this other user.
    I have contacted the seller, who informed that in fact he didn't know about it because he only won it and decided to resell it, but promissed to investigate and try to resolve it, but in fact I guess I cant cound so much on it and I'm pretty dissapointed and  lost with this  situation. Do you  guys know what I could to remove this account?
    Thanks in advance!

    You will not be able to find the previous user in any Apple database. They wouldn't share that information with anyone as they would be violating privacy issues - unless of course they were directed to do so by a court order.
    There is just something that bothers me about this whole situation and I feel for you, but I would also hesitate to email somebody that I didn't know about asking him to erase his iCloud account. How the iPad could go from one owner to another owner and now to you, without being erased, just gives me a bad feeling, but that's just how I feel about it.
    I guess though at this point, you know worlds more about him than he knows about you if you have his name and email address.

  • When updating my phone4 it had to be connected to itunes and as a result has picked up someone else's icloud account login. how can i remove this?

    Hello lesley142
    To sign out of what ever Apple ID is signed in, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then tap the Apple ID and you will see an option to sign out.

  • My iPad is mysteriously registered to someone else's iCloud account. How do I fix this?

    Forced to restore my entire  iPad cart after Apple Configurator error. I began to restore the iPad and left it plugged in to iTunes over the weekend. Now the iPad is mysteriously registered to a Chinese email account and I cannot do anything with it. Help!? I have never had this problem before. also, how can I prevent this from ever happening again?

    One of your users apparently set up his or her own iCloud account on the device. Without that Apple ID or the cooperation of that use, there's nothing you can do on your own. However, I've read this:
    Streamlined email process for removing activation lock
    AppleCare has announced a new process to assist institutions with returned devices which may be activated locked.  For customers who experience this for the first time please call AppleCare at 800-800-2775 so that the process and needed documentation can be explained.  After the initial call customers can email with the required documentation for all Activation Lock Removal requests.
    So call Apple Support and discuss the issue with them.
    Regards.

  • How do I delete a student's iCloud account from a school iPad?

    My school has iPads that we check out to students. They are all set up with the school's Apple ID. I've had a student set up her iCloud account on one of the iPads using her OLD Apple ID and now can't remember the password to remove it. The only thing set up using the student's appleID is the iCloud account. Is there a way to remove the student's iCloud account from the iPad?
    The only things I'm allowed to select in the iCloud section of settings is the terms and conditions and the delete account. Everything else is unselectable. When i click "terms and conditions" I get the message: unable to connect to server. When I select "delete account" it wants the password that can't be remembered.
    Thanks for your help.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    If the student can't remember her Apple ID, she'll need to try to recover it, either by this web page:
    https://iforgot.apple.com
    or by calling Apple Support and asking to speak with Account Security. There's no way you can get past the Activation Lock without that student's Apple ID and password. If she can't recover the account and remove the iPad from her iCloud account, you may be able to contact Apple Support and with proof that the school owns the iPad there may be something Apple can do, though I've not confirmed that.
    Regards.

  • How do I delete apps from the icloud account ?

    When I download an old app that used to work perfectly , it no longer works . I was told to delete it from my devise and reload it from the app store but I do not get that option when i search the app. I only get the option to load it from the cloud and it doesn't work once loaded. How can I delete the app from the icloud so as to download the app directly from the app store ?

    Downloading it from the cloud is downloading it from the App store.
    Your most likely problem is that your iOS is too old to run the App, unless you can update your iOS there is little you can do about this.

  • How do I delete contents from my iCloud account  to free- up space

    Recently i replaced my damaged iPhone with a new one. I could restore the contents to new phone. But now I am not able to update the iCloud from my new phone as it says that "Not enough space". This leads to the question - how do i remove all the contents in my iCloud account?
    Also when I login into my iCloud account using PC, I see there are 2 phones shown against my account and I am not able to delete one of them?
    Any tips for both these issues.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can delete contents in your iCloud storage from your device using settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage storage. Swipe the individual content to the left to reveal the delete button.

  • How do I delete songs from my iCloud account when they don't exist in iTunes?

    I have several songs that showup on my iPhone 4s with the cloud icon and downward pointing arrow.
    1. I've just deleted all songs on my iPhone4s
    2. Only songs with the iCloud icon showup
    3. The songs on my iPhone4S that showup with the iCloud icon don't exist in iTunes
    4. I don't use iTunes Match
    5. I know that I can turn off "Show All Music" in the Music Setting to not show those songs, but I want to delete those songs I no longer have from my i Cloud account.
    How do I delete those songs with the iCloud icon?
    Thank You...

    You can't delete them from iCloud because they aren't stored in your iCloud account (and don't use any of your storage).  They are stored in the iTunes store, and the cloud symbols are links to your previous purchases.  If you don't want to see them, hide them on the purchased list in iTunes on your computer, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.
