How do i turn off an icloud account on iphone 5 and make a new one?

i was locked out of my old apple account completely. i can not recover my apple id, password will not work. i have recently made a new apple id. i need to make a new icloud account with my new apple id and sync it to my iphone 5 with my old account that is still logged in and working. is there any way i can keep my existing information on my phone? i also have my phone backed up to my macbook is there a way to transfer my info from my macbook? i want to fix my icloud issue before updating to iOS 7.

Make sure everything you have is backed up and restore your iPhone as new, not from back up. Start over and see if that solves anything.
If it doesn't help anything then call or go into an Apple store. They will try everything you already tried; making sure it's updated, resets, and a restore or 2. Then they will then decide what to do, most likely replacement.

    How can I turn off my ICloud account?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted.
    If you want to keep photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account.  If you want to save synced notes, open them and email them to yourself.  You will be given an option to either keep or delete the rest of your iCloud data from your device when you delete the account.

    If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account.  (The BETA recently went past it's valid until date.)  There are discussions about this issue.  Otherwise...  for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on.  Use Google.

    Can´t download apps, because it´s wrong. What can I do? Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can delete your account at settings > iCloud, scroll down and tap delete account. You can then enter details of any new account you create.
    Note. The purchase of apps are done through an iTunes store account not your iCloud account. If you are having issues downloading apps, it isn't related to your iCloud account.

  • A while back I made a gamecenter account that was not associated with an Apple ID, it was with my email, now my gamecenter account IS my Apple ID. I want to delete it and make a new one, but i can't figure out how. Help!

    Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID).  That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.
