You cannot delete the account of the previous owner without the password. Please contact your seller in order to get a refund or if you have the contact data of the previous owner then try to contact him to get his password. Unfortunately, there will be no other solution to get your phone properly working again.

How do I delete my i-cloud account without deleting Pages documents?

Hi!
I am currently in panic mode. In a way, my problem is four or five-fold. My I-pad is only charging now and then. So it has suddenly become urgent for me to back-up all my stuff. I don't sync with another computer. I only have the i-pad. So I turned to i-cloud and began setting up my account. Everything sets up just fine except Pages. Pages merely remains in loading mode. It won't go any further than a hundred and thirty-two megabytes. . It just hangs there. My wireless signal is a strong 3G. So that is not the problem. The big problem right now is that I can't stop the process. Turning off the i-pad does nothing for it. After I I restart it again it starts automatically loading.   I can't delete the i-cloud account now without losing the documents! A pop-up comes up saying so. Why would Apple do that?! Someone should be able to back out of the process without losing all his or her documents. I can turn everything else off just fine: Calendar, Notes, Photo-streaming, etc. Not Pages.
But there is an additional complication. The i-cloud account appears to be attempting to download document files from my old Pages app! I had forgotten my passcode a while back, so the apple store somehow reconfigured my i-pad. I lost all that other data some of which included Pages.    I was very angry. They told me they could just set me up with a new passcode but that it was contrary to policy because someone there might abuse my privacy! It was very frustrating. They could have just let me sit there and watch them do it if they had been so worried about their own possible dishonesty! Anyway, at the bottom of the loading screen there reads 3.8 gigabytes which is significantly more than I have in my current Pages file and would throw me above the 5.0 gigabyte threshold. That is another reason why I wanted to stop the process so that I could do it next month and pay for the extra storage. I don't know if the firewall between my 'old i-pad-within- an-i-pad' is causing the problem or something else. I think though it may be trying to merge with the old data somehow but is unable to do so.
So, the big question is how do I stop this process without losing all my documents? I don't want to lose everything again.

Hi, Demo!
thanks for the reply. I must say though that forgetting a password is nothing like following step-by-step instructions just as I am told and then having two or three years of documents threatened. i mean Apple Smapple. They get things wrong all the time. It is bad policy to lock out three years of data for a forgotten password and, in fact, there is something wrong with the instruction system on creating an I-Cloud account when it comes to Pages. So I blame Apple for both.
Here is what happened. I was given clear instructions to back out of I-Cloud for everything else on my I-pad (Photos etc.) but Not for Pages.   When I wanted to halt the pricess, the pop-up said very clearly that my files would be deleted from my Pad.   So, I just held my breath and pushed the back-out for Pages anyway even though it said it would delete all my files. Suddenly, another pop-up surfaced allowing me to back out just like with the others. My data was safe! And I was returned to the original I-Cloud account page. I ran over to Pages and, voila, it was all there. nothing gone. But moments later I got another pop-up saying that Pages had been deleted from my I-Pad but was successfully transferred to I-Cloud.   Pages was not deleted from my Pad, nor was anything else!   The scare was not my fault. The pop-ups were apparently backwards.
As a side-note. There is nothing wrong with forgetting things. That happens. Our brains are made to do that sometimes.   Businesses are supposed to think ahead on that, not dumbledy-pumbledy people like me. Still partly my bad. This other thing was nothing like that. I was merely setting up an I-Cloud account In effect, 'I_Cloud' was threatening to take my stuff for merely signing on and then deciding not to create an account. Their bad completely.
Come on. Even computer illiterates need to keep an eye on Apple now. Have you read how Carlyle, the big sinister private equity outlet, is now making Apple buy stuff it wants it to at two hundred percent mark-up? Carlyle bought some sleek something at five hundred million. Apple buys it six months later for two billion. Clearly, someone else is in charge now at Apple. My guess is that there will be less creativity but more reflexive self-defensiveness. That began way back with Steve Jobs when he wouldn't let the on-off toggle remain for stabilising the I-pad screen even when there was overwhelming customer desire to keep it.

Deleting an old i-cloud account without a password

I am trying to delete an i-cloud account from an i-phone4
The account registered is with an old email account of mine that was made redundant by the internet service provider. I have no idea what the password was.
The only workaround on the Apple pages was to sign in under my new Apple iD - change the e-mail address and then use the password on my new iD. This sdoes not seem to work as when I change the e-mail it cannot be verified so I still cannot delete the account associated with my old e-mail.
So how do I delete the account without a total rest. My wife is now sharing the phone and has her on info on it.

You can get help with the password via Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

I got this Mac 5 off ebay, and it works fine.. but I can't download Silverlight, or update itunes.
I've the reboot, terminal thing, but either I'm stupid and not doing it right, or it doesn't work.
I can't make a new user, or change the password, and PLEASE help.

We need a better description of what you bought. "Mac 5" doesn't ring a bell with me and I've been her a long time. Do you mean "iMac G5?"
If so, the latest versions of SilverLight require a Mac with an Intel processor--the G5 iMac is not an Intel-based computer so it will not install.
If it's a really a G5, neither can it run OS10.6 as shown in your equipment line. 10.5.8 is as high as it can go.
I can't make a new user, or change the password,
Call the seller and get the gray system install/restore disks that originally shipped with that computer, They are as much a part of the computer and the hard drive, and needed for resetting the password. I consider any used Mac sold without tose disk to be missing a part and therefore worth much less money.
So---right now we're fighting conflicting info. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and post what is says about the processor and the OS version. If the processor description includes the word "Intel," you have a much newer Mac than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers and should repost in the forumfor newer iMacs here:

In Mail 4.6 (10.6) I'm not seeing only seeing Import Mailbox, no export. But Mail can be archived
Note: I'm not getting the Archive option with Cmd, but I do get it with a right-click.
Archiving mailboxes
You can archive (create a backup copy) of a mailbox so you can retrieve messages if needed.
To archive a mailbox:
Select one or more mailboxes to archive.
To select mailboxes that are next to each other (contiguous) in the list, hold down Shift as you click the first and last mailbox; to select mailboxes that are not next to each other in the list, hold down Command as you click each mailbox.
Choose Mailbox > Archive Mailbox, or choose Archive Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) at the bottom of the sidebar.
Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the archives, and then click Choose.
Mail archives the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you’ve already archived a mailbox, Mail does not overwrite the existing file but appends a number to the filename to create a new version of it.
If you need to recover messages, you can import an archived .mbox file as “Mail for Mac OS X.”
Importing mailboxes
If you set up Time Machine to back up files, you can use it to restore previous versions of a mailbox or a message. Time Machine deletes older backups to make room for new ones as the backup disk fills up, so older backups of Mail might be deleted.

How can I delete & change an iCloud account without the old password?!

I set-up my iCloud with a hotmail account which is no longer active. How can I delete it?! I do NOT know the password any more and I've written several times to request it with no help from Microsoft. I NEED to restore my 4S but CAN'T without turning OFF the "Find My iPhone" service- blah! I am required to enter the password and have tried EVERY password I've ever used!

If you can't remember the security questions or the pass code (if you have set up 2 step verification), then your options are your rescue address or in some circumstances a call to Apple, but unless they are able to provide Apple some evidence the account is theirs (which is far from the case so far) Apple won't do anything.
(which is hardly a 'rescue' address if it can't be used)
I'm not sure you realise where this is going. It should be able to be used, even if the OP has forgotten the password to that account as well as their password to the Apple ID and all the security questions which are questions about them, there is no reason they shouldn't be able to reset their hotmail address receive the reset mail from Apple and unlock their account.

Can I delete a excisting iCloud account without password

I bought this iphone from a friend and their signed into their iCloud, is there any way I can deleted their iCloud account cause they don't know their password

Hi Raaach,
Sorry, but there is no way to get around the Activation Lock without signing off the iCloud account that is signed onto the device. Have the person who sold you the device go to Manage your Apple ID and answer their security questions so they can reset their password:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
If they can't remember their Security Question answers, they can contact iTunes Support to have them reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699?viewlocale=en_US
Once they know their Apple ID/iCloud password, they can either delete the iCloud account from the device directly, or they can follow this link to remove the device from their iCloud account remotely:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
Best of luck,
GB

Deleting my old Icloud account, without a password

Basically I changed my email address and have no access to my old one. Easy to change apple ID, but when I go to delete the icloud account on my phone it won't let me as it automatically puts in the old email address and wont accept the password. Basically it says to delete it I have to switch off find my iphone. Which I can't switch off because it won't accept my password as it automatically puts in my old email address. So I try erasing all data from my phone (just resetting settings didn't work). But it won't let me do this either without my password, which it won't accept as it automatically puts in my old email address. Please help!

Go to appleid.apple.com. Change your primary email address/Apple ID back to the old email that you do not have access to. Then, on your device, go to Settings > iCloud and delete account. Make sure to sign out of iTunes/App store as well. Once you have removed the old Apple ID from your phone, go back to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email address/Apple ID to the new email. Just because you no longer have access to an email account does not mean you have to change your Apple ID.

I am trying to delete my old iCloud account without a password

Hi,
I am trying to delete an iCloud account. It sounds easy, but for some reason when I updated my iPad to iOS7, the iCloud reverted back to an old Apple ID that had been deleted and is no longer active (Apple no longer has a record of it when I try to get the email verification to change the password). When I attempt to delete the account (to connect it to my current iPhone iCloud) it requests the Apple ID password for the deleted account.
I tryed to reset the iPad, and delete all the data on the iPad and start fresh, but of course I had the "Find my iPad" function on the iCloud and I need the Apple ID password to turn it off to start the reset. Any suggestions?

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 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.

I can not delete my I cloud account without my password and I need to.
