How do I unlock someone elses icloud accounts
How do I unlock an icloud account? Can get hold of the person using the iphone before
You can't, and Apple won't do it for you(unless you're the original owner); the activation lock is an anti-theft measure. You may be able to get a refund for it.

How do I delete someone's icloud account from my ipad?
This person set up my new ipad with his apple ID instead of letting me create my own, I somehow got rid of it but now I've updated to IOS 8 and for some reason his icloud account is still on my ipad, I can't sign out and use my ID because I have to turn off ''find my ipad'' and it wont let me do that without a password, I have really bad memories of this person and this is driving me insane because it's a constant reminder ,every 15 minutes or so icloud pops up and asks me to sign in with this account. Any help would be much appreciated, and no, there is no way I can get this person's password.

How can I log out that iCloud account without password ?
You can't.
Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

How do I change the main iCloud account on my iPhone?
How do I change the main iCloud account on my iPhone?
I activated an iPad for a work associate; somehow, MY Apple ID account is assigned to his iPad's iCloud backup. His iPad is using up all MY iCloud space... he IS set up in App Store with his own Apple ID.
On my own iPad (just to check out what settings/options were), i went to "Settings/iCloud: and tapped "Delete Acct". BUT, then I got a message that all Photo Stream and documents stored in iCloud would be deleted from this iPad... so, two questions...
is there ANY way for him to retrieve the documents he saved in MY iCloud account (there's 9.1g worth of HIS backup in my account!! ... i purchased extra space before i realized it was being eaten up by him and not mine).
Because he'd be logging back in under his OWN ID which had never backed up his device before......so, he'll lose everything, right?
Really need someone who KNOWS apple iOS/Cloud workings to answer this one please ... much (at least some, lol) of his data is work-related.... at 9gig, can't be all work!! must be a lot of movies, photo's and music i'd guess. as this is a WORK-issued device, so be it if he has to re-load all that................ -
i was given an ipod touch that is currently logged into someone elses itunes account and i need to log out of there account and into mine, i was thinkingi could do a master reset, but it will not allow me to do so. Any suggestions. I would like to make this copletely mine and wipe everything else out. Please help thanks.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Go to the 'Go' menu in the Finder and hold down the option key to reveal the Library. Then navigate to library > preferences > system configuration and drag the 'Networkinterfaces.plist' file to the trash and restart for mac. Now try again. -

Can i transfer music from my ipod to someone elses itunes account?
Can i transfer music from my ipod to someone elses itunes account??
CD's you can give to them to rip to their own iTunes. If you do that, legally you are supposed to delete any copies you may have in your posession as you no longer own the content.
For iTunes purchases, they are permanently tied to the account they were purchased with.
You can always gift the content via iTunes to your friend, purchase and give them CD's, or let them buy their own copies. -
I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?
If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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. 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

I have the ICloud icon on my PC - Windows 7 - and the program. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?
You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

How do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?
how do i set up multiple iCloud accounts on the same mac?
Interesting - I was sure I'd seen a note somewhere that it was only Mail, but this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020
does say
Your secondary iCloud accounts can be set up and viewed in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iOS device, or Apple () menu > System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on OS X Lion. You may choose to do this if you have a second iCloud account and need to access its Mail, Contacts, or Calendar data.
Note: While you can configure multiple iCloud Mail accounts in iOS, Push mail will only work for the primary iCloud account in iOS. Secondary account(s) will check for mail based on the settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data.
It's not something I can test - I suppose the second account's data gets added to the lists in iCal and Address Book? -
How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?
How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?
As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...
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).
