If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. 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. 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. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

How do you put info from iCloud back on iPhone

Ok, my confusion. The songs are still all on my computer? Only the devices are backed up to Cloud?
I was worried that if I turned off Match and Cloud that my music would be gone. They sent me a message that all my songs were on Cloud.
Thanks for your help.

HT4859 backed up iphone to icloud, notes gone from iphone

I backed up my iphone 4s to icloud yesterday and now all the notes I had on my iphone are not there anymore. They show up in my mail but not on my phone. Why did this happen, how can I keep it from happenining, and how can I restore my notes to my iphone?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you stop your back up, it will leave an incomplete back up in your iCloud storage allocation which you would need to remove from settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage. It will not however affect anything on your phone.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

HT1766 trying to back up iphone to icloud

I keep trying to manually back up my iphone to icloud but it starts then it says could not be completed- can anyone help? My iphone has never been backed up.

Make sure that you're connected to Wi-Fi and plug your iPhone in to charge. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and make sure that iCloud backup is in the ON position then tap Back Up Now.
You can also use iTunes to backup

ITunes can't back up iPhone to iCloud

I don't understand. If I'm NOT backing up iPhone to my computer, but instead want to back it up to iCloud, why do I get a message in itunes that says "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because not enough free space available on this computer.
But I'm backing up to iCloud just for that reason, because I know I don't have enough space on my computer. If I did, I'd back up my iPhone to my computer so I have control of it, not the Cloud. But I have no choice for a backup.
Do I not NEED iTunes to back up to iCloud? Do I just back it up via my iPhone??

Forgot -- one simple fix -- reboot phone LOL Done. iPhone is backing up to iCloud

How can I back up iPhone to iCloud manually?

I have iPhone 5 with iOS 8.0.2. I used to be able to go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and then be able to see when was the last automatic backup and I could "Backup Now" if I wanted. I am set up for automatic iCloud backups. Now when I go to Settings>iCloud, there is an item "Storage", but there is no "Storage & Backup" and no button for "Backup now" and no information as to when was the last automatic iCloud backup. Am I missing something?

It's now Settings-iCloud-Backup (between Passbook and Keychain on my device). Tap Backup and then you should see Back Up Now.

Back up iPhone to iCloud and Macbook Pro?

How can I remove iPhone from iCloud when I no longer have the phone?

I switched to a Samsung S4 from my old iPhone 4S, but now I can not get text messages from any of my contacts who have iPhones. One thing I read to do/try was to remove my iPhone from my iCloud, but I no longer have the phone...how can I do this from my iPad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iOS has got Messages app, which uses iMessage to send and receive messages. iMessage can only be used in iPhones, iPads, iPods touch and Macs, not on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
You need an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to remove your iPhone's phone number from Messages. After getting one, open Settings > Messages > Send and Receive, and remove your phone number. After doing this, when one of your contacts choose your phone number in Messages app, it will send a SMS instead of an iMessage
