I can not delete an iCloud account from my macbook. iPhone seems to be okay.

I have successfully created a new icloud account after deleting and adding the new version in Mail. Now, the old ID still pops up periodically.

A number of users who have chosen to set up iCloud mail manually in the Mail application seem to encounter problems with continually being asked to sign in. This may well be a result of incorrect settings such as not setting 'Apple Token' for authentication under the accounts advanced settings.
A more general approach to remedying such problems would be to turn off Mail in System Preferences/Settings > iCloud, checking the account has been removed from Mail (and deleting it if it hasn't), restarting and then enabling iCloud Mail again from System Preferences/Settings > iCloud. This will ensure the correct settings are used.

    How can I delete an icloud account from a phone that I bought from a friend that never deleted it and am not in touch with him so that's not an option

    You can't, your friend can. So get in touch. If you can't then the phone is useless.

  • How can i delete an icloud account from my iphone

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone. I have two icloud accounts the old one just can not retrieve the pwd to access it

    If the old ID is your ID, and if your second 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 iDevice, 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.  When finished 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.

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. 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.

  • My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

    My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

    First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab.  Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
    An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours.  Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

  • I can't delete my icloud account from my ipad.

    I can't delete my icloud account from my ipad. It keeps saying "Cannot delete icloud account" "there was a problem deregister isn't this ipad with icloud. Try deleting your account again." I've updated to the latest software update and done a network reset on my ipad. But nothing seems to work. Also my ipad doesn't  allow me to update any applications. i think there might be something wrong with my account.

    Hello Cheryl,
    If you are stuck trying to remove your iCloud account, then try restoring your iPad. Start with turning off Find My iPad and then use iTunes to restore it. Check out the article below for the steps on how to do that. 
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Can't delete old iCloud account from new phone

    Have trouble deleting old iCloud account from my new phone keep getting a message saying can not delete cause in use

    iCloud accounts can be deleted in Mail, Contacts and Calenders in System Preferences from the Apple sign menu on your Host or Main mac.
    I had heaps of trouble with this - i fixed it by going back to my host imac and clicked on apple sign - system preferences - then under the Internet and Wireless heading clicked on Mail, Contacts & Calenders.  from there you can select iCloud amongst your other stuff in the left window - delete the old one by hitting the (minus) - sign down the bottom after selecting iCloud.  Keep your calenders and contacts on your mac when asked.
    Once you've deleted the old one and its gone from the window reselect iCloud from the right window of options.  Use your new apple ID (current e-mail) to set this one up.
    Once you sync all your devices it should all be good.
    Took me ages to work this out but minutes to fix once I had.
    hope this helps

  • Can you delete an iCloud account from ONE iPhone without it disappearing from another iPhone registered on the same Apple-id/iCloud account?

    My mother and brother made the mistake to connect both their iPhones to the same Apple-id, so a problem came up: All iMessages sent and received from one iPhone are also seen and saved on the other iPhone. My question is if it is possible to delete the iCloud account from one of the phones without it or any data being deleted from the other phone? Thankful for help! / the big sister..

    Yes.

  • Can I delete an icloud account from apple's system with out password

    My mom is 88..  Apple help desk got her set up for an icould account she did not need becuse they misunderstood the nature of help she needed. It is a second uncessary account and is wreaking havoc with her iPad.  My mom can not remember her password.  How can I permanantely remove the account from Apple's system. 

    Apple IDs (which are used to establish various types of accounts like icloud and itunes store) cannot be permanently deleted, nor can the accounts.  Just don't use the account in question if you don't want it.
    If this is about icloud, then on her ipad, Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  In the future she can always log back in.  If she needs to do this, then to deal with a forgotten password...
    Try the following link to reset your password.

  • Can't delete old iCloud account from my iPhone 5

    I have just got a new iPhone 5 to replace one that was stolen recently, and wanted to restore it from my last iCloud backup. However, since the last iCloud backup I have changed the email address in my Apple ID. This seems to mean that the App Store, iMessage, FaceTime etc all work using the correct gmail Apple ID, however the iCloud account on my phone is my old Hotmail Apple ID. I can't delete the account or accept new terms and conditions without entering my password to my old Apple ID, which I don't know. When I've tried to login elsewhere with my old Apple ID (eg. online) it says it doesn't exist. Help!

    After further investigation, I think this is somehow linked to being unable to turn off the Find My iPhone feature on my phone. When I try to delete my iCloud account, it needs the password to my old Apple ID which is no longer active...

  • I can't create an icloud account from my occasion iphone 5. I don't know why...

    I bought before some days an occasion iphone 5, but always when I like to create an icloud account, in final of the process, it appears a message like that "This device (iphone) is not allowed to create a free icloud". what I must do?

    Yes.  This is what you friend would need to do.  He (she) would need to start by saving any photo stream photos on his phone to his camera roll unless they are already there.  To do this, he should go to his my photo stream album, tap Select (Edit in iOS 6), tap the photos, tap the share icon--box with upward pointing arrow (Share in iOS 6), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then he should go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  (If he is running iOS 7 he will be prompted to also enter his iCloud password to turn off Find My iPhone.)  This will only delete his iCloud data from his phone, not from his iCloud account.  His data will sync back to his phone when he signs back in.
    Then you can go to Settings>iCloud on his phone and sign in with your Apple ID to create your new account.  Leave all other settings off and do not choose Merge with iCloud if you are prompted (since you do not want his data in your new account).  Then tap Delete Account to delete your new account from his phone (and provide your password if prompted to turn off Find My iPhone).
    Then your friend can go to Settings>iCloud on his phone, sign back in with his iCloud ID and his data will sync back to his phone as it was before.
    Then you can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and sign in with your Apple ID.  Since you are signing into an existing iCloud account this time you will not receive the prompt that your phone is not allowed to create.  Then you shoudl be good to go.
