How to delete iCloud account, with non-existing email as ID, on iPad?

Cannot delete iCloud account (which happens to have a non-existing ID) on iPad in order to have same account as on iPhone - keep trying using current Apple ID and PW but to no avail - iCloud settings continue to insist that Apple ID/PW is wrong but they are the ones I have in "manage my ID"???

If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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 iPad on your device, 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. 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.

How to reset icloud account and password

how to set icloud account and passwaord on my iPhone 5C, I have reset my apple id but my icloud account will not let me reset

If yu changed the email address of your iCloud account befor you signed out of iCloud on your device, then please
follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here: http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.

How to delete icloud account without a password

Hi
I have just bought an iPad that was advertised as new however when I went to set this up, the previous owner had already set up an iCloud account. How would I delete this? everytime i try to delete account it asks for a password for 'find my iphone to be turned off' which i obviously don't have.
Any ideas please??

Hi swatts88!
I have an article that addresses that situation and can provide some insight for you:
What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.

How to delete icloud account without password ios 8

my girlfriend recently bought his brother's iPhone 5, the problem is? his brother forgot the password for the icloud, therefore she plans on just deleting it. How can we delete it? if we don't know the password for the account?
Message was edited by: jeandrei23

You don't. If it's your account, you can reset the password at https://iforgot.apple.com
If it's locked with someone else's account, the owner of the account will have to release the lock.

HT4865 How to delete icloud account

Hello,
I'd like to know how to delete an icloud account in order to can create a new one.
I dont want to change my apple account... I just want to be able to create a new icloud account (mainly a new icloud e-mail)...
What can I do!?
Many thanks!

II'm in the same situation. Purchased a refurbished IPhone 5. I had to do a factory reset and when I reset it again, itunes tells me that the phone is linked to someone else. Called the company I bought the phone from and they say iTunes can do a master reset to link my iTunes account to the phone. Have any of you heard of this being possible?

How to delete iCloud account from iPad with ios8

I have an iPad that is used for work. The person I relieved has their iCloud account attached to it. They have the password and signed in but there is no longer a "delete account" button. I don't want to delete it through "find my iPhone" because we don't want to erase the ipad. so how do I get rid of his and replace it with mine?
Thanks.

there should be a sign out button where the delete account button is. it serves the same function.

How to delete icloud account off my phone

I got my iphone and stupidly backed it up from my compute. I know have my ex''s icloud account and I cant remove it. We are no longer in contact so I just want my icloud on there is there a way to delete it without the password? or add my account to it ?

No, you will either need to enter the information that it is requesting (aka his password) or contact Apple. Be prepared to provide a proof of purchase (like a receipt even if its a copy from online or you have to call and get it) if you need to call them. Contact Apple for support and service

How to delete ICloud account given forgotten password

I cannot manage ICloud so I would like to delete it. The appleid that shows up in the icloud portion of settings is an old email from two years ago and the system does not like any password I can dream up that might ever have been the right one. The inflexibility of IOS at this point prohibits my trying to get the password from Apple. If anyone has a real solution I would like to hear it as I have tried all the ones that start with "Why don't you try ...?"
Thanks in advance.

randers4,
Inasmuch as you instructions were probably right on target they were in fact somewhat mystifing so I followed the rest of your advice and checked in to the Genius Bar at the local Apple Store. There I found an able technical person who dived into the problem until he realized he also could not solve it because I had forgoten the password to the iCloud account.
Then I called the number he gave me for Apple support and was put in touch with another able expert who walked me down a pathway towards success until that also failed. He then turned me over to "Senior Technical Advisor" who took over the project and proceeded to engineer a solution. He had me hook up my IPAD to my MacMini running SnowLeopard and bring up the connection in iTunes. From there I followed his instructions with unwaivering rectitude until the final solution was achieved. Immediately afterwards he must have waived his "Men in Black" forget wand over the phone at me and caused me to forget some of the steps we went through so I cannot reproduce them here. However, such geniuses exist and they reside at the Apple Support Center.
Thank you again for your advice and guidance. All is well in Apple Land.

How to delete icloud account that not yet verified

i have a problem on my icloud account i allready sign it but not yet verified. the problem is i forgot my password on that account but it is still sign in on it.is it possible to change it

You can't. You'll have to contact the previous owner to have them do it or give you their credentials. If you cannot contact them or they are unwilling to provide you with that info, then you are out of luck.

HOW TO DELETE ICLOUD ACCOUNT WITHOUT KNOWING PASSWORD

HELP

You can't. Without knowing this, you won't be able to delete the existing account & re-activate the phone. If you're the second owner, either get in touch with the previous owner, or return the phone for a refund if you can't. You won't be able to use this phone.
