How to erase a misspelt apple iD in the icloud account?

Hi,  I set up a icloud account on my iphone.  Unfortunately, the email/apple ID I typed in was misspelt.  In my iphone - setting - icloud, the phone is trying to vertify the account, but cannot because there is no such email and therefore cannot be veritfy.
How do I get rid of this emai/apple iD ?  It is preventing me from setting up an ciloud account and using it on my iphone.
I should add,  I have now created the correct Apple ID and other parts of hte phone are working well, so I dont wish to lose this apple id.
thanks

Thanks for the suggestion.  I did follow all the steps but came to a holt when it asked for me to turn off My iPhone in order to complete the process.  I did attempt to do this, went to settings - cloud - turn off find my iphone- before hand but it didnt work.  I had hoped that the delete and restore would overrule this problem. So I cant tur off Find my phone.  If I can turn that off, then I can finish the process
But again I cant do anything until I vertify the account.  I have tried to delete the account in Setting - iCloud but again , it calls for me to vertify.
Is there are anotherway around this, so that I can finalise the restoration?

  • I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password.  I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists.  How can I update my phone?

    I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s.  How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change.  I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

    Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
    But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
    If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

  • How can I change my apple iD in my iCloud account info on my iPhone 4

    How can I change my Apple ID in my iCloud account for my iPhone 4?  I have updated to my new Apple ID on iCloud and iTunes, but my phone still shows my old apple id, thus it's not letting me restore previously backed up info.

    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    Yes, you delete the account, then sign back in with a new ID to create their new account.  With iOS 7 you will be prompted to provide your password in order to delete the account.  Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from the device.  If you plan to migrate a copy of the data to the new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing into the new account to upload the data.

  • If I press "Erase all contents and settings" does the iCloud account get removed from the iPhone?

    I also do not know the password to the iCloud account and when I go to the "Forgotten Password" link, it says that account is not found.

    Yes, but you will not be able to erase it without the password if Find My iPhone is turned on.  If you need to reset your iCloud password, read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.  Of course, you can't reset the password unless it is your iCloud ID.

  • I had to change my apple id but the icloud account still has the old one. How can i change it.

    My apple id was cancelled by apple due to a problem and they suggested me to make a new apple id with a different email adress. Thats what i did, the proble is that the i cloud has the old apple id and i was trying to change it but i cant and the iphone keeps asking me to put de password on the old apple id wich is no longer in use
    The second problem is that when i was trying to change that, something happened and all my contacts were erased!
    I still have them on my ipad, but i dont know what to do, is all a mess with my devices!
    Can somebody help me please?

    With iOS 7 you will have to provide the password for the old ID in order to delete the existing account from your iPad.  If you can't do this, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID.
    As far as your missing contacts, when you get the password for the old ID reset, sign in with the ID and your new password at icloud.com and check to see if your contacts are there.  If they are, export them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606.  You can then import this vCard to your new account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605.

  • HT204053 How do I change my apple ID in my icloud account information under settings on my iphone?  When I did the latest update it reverted to my old apple ID and I do not know the password anymore.

    How can I change my icloud account information on my iphone 4S?  When I did the latest update my icloud account reverted to the original ID I had when setting up my account.  How can I change my apple ID when I am in setting > iCloud > account > Apple ID?  Again my ID went to original ID and I do not know how to update it to my new one. 
    Thanks! 

    If you want to move to a new, separate iCloud account you have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Deleting the account will only delete it from your phone, not from iCloud.  This will not effect other devices still using the account.  Also, you can continue to share your ID for the iTunes and App stores even though you will have a different ID for iCloud.  They do not need to be the same.
    To begin, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, if you have any data in either iCloud account that you no longer want (such as someone else's contacts) you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

  • HT5621 How can I change my Apple ID on the Icloud on my iphone? I changed it to a new address and the icloud wont let me update it on m phone and it is not registering my old address either because it no longer exists. please help!

    It continues to ask me for my password for the old address nd when i enter it or have tried to change it, it does not recognise that address. Do I have to take y phone back to new to be able to log in to the icloud with the changed email address?

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

  • How do I merge my apple ID to my iCloud account (which was not created by the email sync offer from an OS device)

    I got an iphone.
    I created an iTunes account.
    When iCloud was release, I went to icloud.com and created myself an account.
    When I linked that account to my phone and wanted to sync the email, it ask me to choose an icloud ID. 
    Obviously, I want to use the account I created, but it wont let me use my username cause it was already taken...
    ''BY ME''
    So how do I merge it?
    ...or how do I delete this account and recreated with the ios email option?
    Thank you
    ''By the way, I noticed that I had a iTunes/iClouds sync + the single iCloud sync, wich double all of my infos (calender, notes, contacts, etc...) in the phone and it bugs me very much''

    You would have to delete your account from your device first, then change your Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com (if not already happened) and then add your account again using your new email address.

  • How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

    MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

    ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID

  • Apple ID in the icloud settings

    How do you change your Apple ID in the icloud settings? It comes up gray and I am unable to click it to change it

    The only way is to remove the account, then add it back in, using the AppleID you want to use.  If this is a wholly different AppleID, then you will create a new iCloud account.  If you just changed the email address at the appleid web management page, then it will be the same iCloud account.

  • How to I get rid of a misspelt apple ID in Settings-icloud on iphone 5, when is still wants Account vertification. No password works on a misspelt Apple ID and cant delete account nor switch off Find my phone.  What to do?

    When I received my iphone and set up an Apple ID and password. I then went to seetings - icloud and made an typing error in the apple ID.  The email address is wrong, so the password wont work.   The icloud account cant do anything until I vertify the account, the account which now has the misspelt email Apple ID.
    I have just created a new Apple ID and password.  However, I cant do anything with the Setting - icloud because I cant vertify the misspelt Apple ID. 
    I have tried to delete the account but you cant unless you have the password.  There is no password for this misspelt Apple ID!!??
    So what do I do to get out I this mess?

    If you can't get the account's password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (do you remember the answers to the account's security questions ?) then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.
