  • How can I completely delete my iCloud account?

    Hi,
    I had a MobileMe account that I transformed into an iCloud account. Let's call it [email protected]
    But I've also created another iCloud account, let's call it [email protected] It's still active but no longer used.
    Today I've downloaded Messages for Mac, and when I want to add my Gmail address as an address that can be reached for messages, I get the following error: http://cl.ly/2b2r0q0W123Q3q10003u.
    Fair enough, but now how can I delete my iCloud account using the Gmail address in order to use it whith my other account?
    Thanks!

    As your Gmail address is an Apple ID of itself you cannot associate it with another Apple ID. I'm afraid you will have to find another way round this: you could set up another email account to associate with the @me.com ID and if you want, forward messages to that on to the Gmail account.

  • We use our Iphones with the icloud to set up scheduling of jobs. Multiple phones share the same icloud for this purpose. We recently had a change in leadership. How do I completely delete the icloud account? Or do I just create a new one/forget old 1

    Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?

    Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

  • How do i permanently delete my itunes account

    how do i permanetly delete my itunes account

    You can't currently delete an iTunes account, you can just remove any personal info from it (e.g. credit card details) and then stop using it. Any content that you downloaded or purchased with it will remain tied to that account, so if you want to continue to be able to authorise the content on new computers you will need to remember the account id and password.

  • How do I permanently delete a guest account?

    For some reason the minus sign is greyed out to delete account.

    If this is the Guest account installed with OS X, then it's not to be deleted. If you created your own separate guest account, then you can delete it. Just click on the lock icon and enter your admin password. Select the account and click on the Delete [-] button.

  • How do i permanently delete an app now with icloud

    How do I permanently delete old apps off of the icloud that is on the phone now?

    I fully agree darkslayer1234. If the app was free why is it still attached to my history? even if I paid for it I (and that's a BIG CAPITAL I) should have the freedom to delete it and risk paying again. This history thing *****, how many years will I be haunted by immature, inappropriate apps that I had 'thrown away"?
    Someone at the planning stage just did not consider the full effect on the end user.
    Apple should allow me to export my WANTED apps to a new account and disable the old one!

    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.

    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 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.
