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

    I no longer have access to the email address used as my Apple ID and when I choose to answer security questions, my DOB had to have been originally entered incorrectly because it keeps failing.  How do I get rid of my old Apple ID and create a new one?

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

  • HT5622 How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account no longer exists?

    How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

    The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

    how do i get rid of my first apple id when i bought the phone

    I don't think this is the easiest way. Have you concidered creating a new account and just... ignoring the last one? If this idea is not to your liking, just simply ring up apple. From what I know, you cannot cancel and account, but, I think that apple might be able to.

    My original ID [email protected] was closed for security reasons, it must have been hacked.

  • I plugged my iphone in for the first time to my computer. I synced it with my itunes and it deleted everything. Now I don't know what to do because I did not even have the chance to back it up! everything is gone please please help me!

    I plugged my iphone in for the first time to my computer. I synced it with my itunes and it deleted everything. Now I don't know what to do because I did not even have the chance to back it up! everything is gone please please help me!

    When you saw this dialog box, did you choose "Erase and Sync"?
    If you did, your iPhone was erased, then your iTunes Library was transferred to it. If your iTunes Library was empty, your iPhone will be also.
    Your previously purchased music, apps, books, and videos are still yours. You just have to download them again.

  • How do i get rid of an old apple id from an iphone upon activation IOS 7

    This phone was sold to me by a friend and it had and account upon activation, my freind doesn't know the information how do I get rid of the account so I can use the phone?? Please I need to know I lost my other phone and I am trying to use this one.

    The "friend" will have to log in to his or her Apple ID and disable Find my iPhone. Or unlink by logging in to iCloud using the correct Apple ID and password and unlinking the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 for what your friend has to do before you can use the phone.
    I am truly amazed that a friend would sell you a phone without wiping out its contents, which must contain a lot of sensitive personal information. And to wipe it clean the friend would have had to disable Find my iPhone.
    Activation Lock is Apple's antitheft feature, that prevents a stolen iPhone from ever being used again. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818 for how it works.

  • How do I get rid of the music I didn't transfer to my iphone?

    I had a certain playlist synced to my phone, since the new update absolutely everything in my library shows up on my phone.  The only thing about the new version I can't stand.  How do I get rid of the music I don't want on my phone?

    if you are seeing a cloud symbol next to the rogue tracks, settings/itunes & app store then turn off show all music & video
    then go to settings/music and check that 'show all music' is turned off - this solved my problems

  • HT1918 How do I get rid of an old Apple Id?

    I've tried taking an old Apple ID off of my itunes account, but it doesn't recognize the password and won't email it to me.  It also does not recognize my birthday.  How do I get rid of this old account forever!

    If oyu get rid of the account you will lose all of your previous purchases. Your best bet is to call AppleSupport because they are now reseting the passwords and the security questions on there.

  • How do I get my (30+) OSX archived Apple Mailboxes and old emails to appear on my iPhone?

    How do I get my (30+) OSX archived Apple Mailboxes to appear on my iPhone? I am happy to use any combination of Thunderbird and Apples so that I can sort and archive incoming emails into existing folder (names), and access old emails (1,000s of them) that are only on my iMac now.

    First off Thunderbird does not have a version for iPhone so you need to ask the Apple genius how to work your phone. Secondly most mobile devices will not have enough storage for thousands of messages.
    Your best solution is to setup IMAP email accounts. IMAP was developed just for this use. The messages are stored on the email providers server and you access and manage them from your computer and mobile devices.
