How to delete/reset iCLOUD with outdated email address/no password

I am an iPHONE 4S user.  I recently had a problem logging into my iCLOUD account with the password.  After keying in the password it says that the account has been suspended and refers me to iFORGOT.  However the email address used for this iCLOUD account is no longer operative.
I set up a new APPLE ID and managed to change the iTUNES account to the new APPLE ID.
However I cant change the iCLOUD account to the new APPLE ID.
Even when I try to delete the iCLOUD account, it still refers me back to the password and I get stuck there after keying in the password.
Please help me reset the iCLOUD account. thanks.

Hello kahileng,
The following article provides steps that should help get your iCloud account switched over. The simplest possible solution is to try the password for your new Apple ID.

  • My daughters imessage on her ipod touch has just stopped working - to get it going again I reset it with my email address but this doesn't allow her to send messages to any of her contacts.  When I try and put her email back in it says it can't verify it

    My daughters imessage & face time on her ipod touch has suddenly stopped working.  The only way i could get it going again was to reset it up with my email address.  This will not allow her to send messages to any of her contacts in her addess book.  I have tried to set up her email (which she previously used successfully) but it will not allow this it states 'unable to verify email because it is already in use' - anyone any ideas its is driving me mad !!

  • Can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud

    can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an icloud email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud.can any one help me about this.

    It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked.  This article explains:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
    If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password.  This is an anti-theft measure.

  • Linking ipad, icloud, iphone and computer with changed email address and password?

    I changed my email address and password on Apple and am now having trouble getting my ipad, iphone, icloud and computer to accept changes. What should I do? Thanks.

    Hello gmille1,
    It sounds like you no longer have access to the email address that is also your Apple ID and you cannot remember the password for it. According to the following article you may be able to reset the password either by answering your security questions or sending a password reset email to your rescue email address if you had one setup.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password
    Answer your security questions
    Select “Answer security questions,” then select Next.
    Select your birth date, then select Next.
    Answer your security questions.
    Set a new password and select Reset Password.
    Use email authentication
    Select “Email authentication,” then select Next. Apple will send the email to your primary or rescue email address.
    Open the email and select the link to change your password.
    When the My Apple ID page opens, set a new password and select Reset Password.
    Use these steps if you didn't get the email or can't find it.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • How to Delete an iCloud Account's Email (Not the Whole Account, Just the Email)

    Hello,
    A couple of years ago, before iCloud was iCloud and was actually MobileMe, I created my own email on it (an @me.com email) and have had it ever since. Even after it became iCloud, i've kept my @me.com email address and have it to this day. I've used it ever since I created it; however, I absolutely hate using it now, and I really want to just get rid of it. I constantly receive spam messages on it, and I have found Gmail to be a much better email service compared to iCloud. I have been trying to figure out how to delete the email itself and not the whole iCloud account; however, I find it very surprising that I haven't been able to find much information about this at all. I know how to delete the whole iCloud account, but all I want to delete is the email. Is there any possible way to do this? Or is my only solution to delete the whole iCloud account? If I deleted the whole iCloud account, would it affect my Apple ID in any way? If I deleted my iCloud account and it does not affect my Apple ID, then would it be possible for me to delete my iCloud account and create a new one without the email?
    Currently, I only have an iPod Touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.1.1 (I know. It seems very outdated nowadays. ). I also have a Windows 7 computer that I use to access icloud.com, but I don't have the iCloud program actually installed to it.
    Thanks in advance and please help!

    Sorry, but I believe there is no way to properly answer your question.Please start a live chat with Apple for assistance as i believe so their the only ones with the power as so, your email is used for recovery, purchase, and more!If it so changed, you'd need to restart your device, also, your best bet is to just to contact apple also.Didn't help?Sorry!Theres really no way...

  • I have bought a second hand ipod 4, but it has the previous owners details all over it, for example it has her email address when trying to update facebook.  How do I update it with my email address?

    I have just purchased a second hand ipod touch 4.  The previous owners details are still in it, so for example when I try to update the facebook app it asks me for the previous owners password, and shows the previous owners email address.  How do I change it all to my details?  I have already synced it with itunes and all of my music is now in it, and it's also renamed on the itunes page when I attach the ipod to my PC.  I've also been in to the 'info' page, 'Advanced' and then 'Replace information on this ipod with mail accounts from this computer' then finally 'apply', but it still has the other persons ID.

    I've answered my own question!  I now understand that you can't use apps as they are always going to be linked to the original owner.  I've since deleted the app and downloaded it again, and all is now well!

  • HT2731 I had to set up a new email address for my ipad, but the old one is still coming up when i have to update my apps, how do i reset to the new email address?

    I recently had to reset my apple id to a new email address, but when i try to update my apps, the old one is still showing up, how do i change it?

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always need to be updated using that account.

    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. See Changing your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • I am unable to log in to the ePrintCenter with my email address and password.

    When I click the 'forgot password' link and enter my email address, I am asked for the correct address. I've tried this many times, checking carefully that I've entered the correct address. I've even tried to set up the account again, but then I am told an account for this email address already exists. I just had the same thing trying to get into the forums, fortunately I was able to reset the password. 
    Any ideas?
    This question was solved.

    I am having the same problem. When I click the "Forget your Password?" link, the pop-up to enter your e-mail address shows up, but it does not let me get passed that screen. It keeps telling me to re-enter my e-mail address. My e-mail is personal and is correct. Any help ideas?

  • I am using my sons old computer.  i thought he removed everything from it, i downloaded itunes since it was not on there from him.  i can log in with my email address and password but i get his playlist.  how can i see my playlist?

    i am using my sons old computer, as far as i can see he uninstalled itunes, so i downloaded itunes.  I can log in under my email and password but i only see his playlist!!! how can i get to my playlist???
    I know this should be simple!!!  but i am not Itunes smart?
    my original playlist/acct was on another computer that we got rid of. 
    I have been downloading songs on my Ipod for about a year without logging onto a computer.
    Maybe i am saying this wrong, i mean my library of songs.  i can only see his songs not mine.

    Your songs would only be there if you put them there.  They do not magically appear in another place.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    Thanks

    Is your phone signed into an old iCloud ID ("email address") and you need to change it to your current ID?  Is so, there is a way around this.
    Otherwise, you can either try resetting your password at https://iforgot.apple.com or by contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or you can back up your phone to your computer instead.  To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then go to File>Devices>Back Up.

  • Can not login with email address and password registered with HP

    I set up an eprint D110 at another location.  I am trying to send to that printer.  I can not login to eprint with the email address and password that I set up.  What do I do now?

    Hi there, are you having trouble logging into the ePrint Center at this point (see the image below)?
    If so, you can click on the Forgotten your password link where you will be prompted to enter the e-mail address you used to setup your ePrint Center account. If you can't remember the e-mail you used to setup the account you can do the following:
    From the display on your printers front panel remove web services by clicking Setup>Wireless>Web Services
    Once this is done, re-enable web services by following the same path. The printer should print an information sheet once you've re-enabled web services. This sheet will contain a new printer code. 
    In ePrint Center click the Sign-In button and then select the Sign Up option at the top of the box
    Go ahead and setup a new ePC account and when prompted enter the new printer code from the information sheet
    Your printer is now no longer attached to your old ePC account and will show up in the Printers section of your new account.
    Just be aware that the printer now has a new e-mail address so if you've shared the previous address with family or friends you'll need to let them now the new one.

  • How to have email address and passwords rememberd

    How does one get computer to remember email address and password.There is no drop down question asking whether to remembe,r as I have in my office computer

    Firefox won't offer to store new passwords if you are in Private Browsing mode.
    You are in PB mode if you see a "Stop Private Browsing" item in the Tools menu.
    Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use ''autocomplete="off"'' to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.
    If a site uses ''autocomplete="off"'' then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute.

  • My original Apple ID is associated with an email address that I no longer have access to. How do I reset the system to recognize my new email address as my primary point of contact and erase the other one?

    If when you go to icloud.com and sign in with your current iCloud ID you see all your iCloud data there, you can safely sign out of the iCloud account on your Mac and choose Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the current ID.  This only deletes the data from your Mac, not from iCloud.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in after a brief delay as it redownloads.  If you have automatically imported your photo stream photos to your iPhoto library you won't lose them either (if you haven't, save them to your library first).
    Again, only do this if when you go to icloud.com with your current ID you see your iCloud data there.
