  • How can I remove my old iCloud account from my iPhone 4?

    I recently changed my icloud account email on my mac, but when I try to delete it on my iphone 4, I need to enter a password. But, the icloud account email is still set to my old one, so i can't delete it because there's no longer any matching email and password because I changed it on my mac!! It's driving me crazy! 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 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.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services 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 iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • Can't delete old iCloud account from new phone

    Have trouble deleting old iCloud account from my new phone keep getting a message saying can not delete cause in use

    iCloud accounts can be deleted in Mail, Contacts and Calenders in System Preferences from the Apple sign menu on your Host or Main mac.
    I had heaps of trouble with this - i fixed it by going back to my host imac and clicked on apple sign - system preferences - then under the Internet and Wireless heading clicked on Mail, Contacts & Calenders.  from there you can select iCloud amongst your other stuff in the left window - delete the old one by hitting the (minus) - sign down the bottom after selecting iCloud.  Keep your calenders and contacts on your mac when asked.
    Once you've deleted the old one and its gone from the window reselect iCloud from the right window of options.  Use your new apple ID (current e-mail) to set this one up.
    Once you sync all your devices it should all be good.
    Took me ages to work this out but minutes to fix once I had.
    hope this helps

  • How do I disconnect an old icloud account from my iPhone 5?

    When I bought my iPhone, I did not have an icloud account so I used my sister's account. Now that I have an icloud account, I want to change the old one and use the new, but it shows me that the old account will be eliminated and I don't want to eliminate it; just disconnect it from my phone.
    How should I proceed?
    Thanks in advance.

    Settings > iCloud > Delete account
    It's only deleting the account from that device, not completely.

  • TS3988 How do I REMOVE an NONEXISTING iCloud account from my iPhone?

    A couple of years ago I got my first iPhone, installed iCloud and created an AppleID with the following e-mail [email protected]
    Since then a lot has changed including my internet service provider, I now have a NEW AppleID on [email protected]
    the iPhone however still insists on [email protected] WHICH NO LONGER EXISTS and there is no password for it.
    My FaceTime is happy logging in with the new account details BUT iCloud just refuses to accept anything but the OLD AppleID
    I can not change the AppleID because its grayed out.
    I can not delete the iClod Account and settings from the iPhone because it will ask me for the OLD password to disable the Find MyiPhone function (which i have already erased from iclaud.com....).
    It is pretty annoying to get all the message about iClod being unable to log in, especially since I don't even want to use iCloud any more.
    Just want to get RID OF this junk so I can use my phone for what it is intended to call and receive calls.lu
    Hope that someone has a solution.
    I have tried a number of suggestions from the web, like login on FaceTime and then try to delete the iCloud Account but NO GO. It just asks me for a password to an account that no longer exists.
    I would say it is a very bad solution, at least the DELETE Account on the Phone should work without any prompts!
    best regards,
    Alexander Berggren

  • How do I delete an old icloud account off my phone if the email address had been hacked and the password has been changed?

    My old email was hacked and since then my passwords have been changed. I have a new apply ID which if fine, but my phone is asking me for my old apple ID password before I can delete it from my ICloud. The problem is I cant reset the password and my birthday verification isnt working. I am unable to do anything in icloud because it is forever telling me my password is wrong. my new apple ID seems to be working on every other part of my phone. Any ideas what to do?

    Well you can try this, but I'm not sure it's going to work if this is an entirely new ID.
    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, 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 on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.

  • HT201363 I need to delete an existing iCloud account that was set up on my phone using a previous Apple ID. Since the I've reset both my Apple ID and password (lost my iPad) I cannot delete the iCloud account from my phone because it is still under the ol

    I have an old iCloud account on my phone.
    This account was set up using an old Apple ID and password.
    Since then I've changed both id and password.
    In order to delete the existing (old) iCloud account from my phone I need to provide the old password from the old and defunct account.
    I don't remember that password.
    I've tried resetting it through the support network but to no avail.
    I need to delete the old account in order to set up a new one.
    Any thoughts?

    If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787).  If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

  • How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

    Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup). It restored an old apple id (which i do not use anymore) in the iCloud settings while having my new Apple Id in the Itunes & App Store. I cannot turn off the iCloud setting due to old AppleId popping up - which does not exist.. How do i remove the old Apple Id from icloud setting on the phone.
    I cannot erase the phone as it asks for the password for the old Apple Id. And i cannot do the restore again (after i made a recent back up my iphone 4) as itunes asks me to turn off Find my phone.

    The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.

  • TS4036 My icloud is showing a very old email address,while myitunes / appstore email is showing the new email address? How do i remove the old email address from icloud?

    My icloud is showing a very old email address,while myitunes / appstore email is showing the new email address? How do i remove the old email address from icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple community mohinderjeet.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    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.
    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.
    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.
