I can't sign out of iCloud on my iPhone 4 because I have the locator turned on for my phone and don't know the old password for my old Apple ID. I've tried all of the suggestions seen on here and the Apple ID site and cannot delete the cloud. Help?

I can't sign out of icloud from my iphone

I keep trying to sign out of icloud from my iphone 5S, bc none of my apps are syncing anymore. I though I could trigger Notes and Calendar to begin working again if I singed out and then signed back in? But when I tap sign out, it asks if I want to save or delete data, no matter which option I choose, a dialogue box pops up saying "Signing Out" and a timer circle just keeps running and running and never signs out????

Yes. Try:

Someone tell me how to sign out of icloud on my iphone because i need to restore it

i just bought a new iphone 5s, and i need to sign out of icloud on my iphone 5, but i am also signed into icloud on my ipad, and i cannot have it signed in to more than 2 device so i need to sign out on my old iphone - how do i do this

You can sign into your iCloud account on more than two devices at the same time if you want. But if you want to sign out on your old phone, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll down and tap Delete Account, then provide your password (if running iOS 7). This will only delete the account and data from this phone, not from iCloud. Your other devices won't be effected by this.

I had to change my apple ID due to someone else using it and changing the password, so now i can't sign out of icloud as the email is wrong and i dont have the password to turn off find my iphone. Help!

Basically, someone was hacking my apple account for a while and kept changing the password so i kept resetting it, now i've had to change my email as icloud still wouldn't accept my new passwords - even after being updated. Now i can't sign out of icloud due to it being the wrong email and an unknown previous password, as i can't turn off find my phone.ipad. How do i solve this without losing everything as i can't just delete the account and the usb ports on my laptop have gone so i can't back up to my laptop. I'm running completely on icloud but desperately need it to update so i don't lose all my uni work as well off my ipad.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

What do you mean by "renamed" the account?
Have you went to Settings>iCloud and deleted the account from the iPod and then signed back in with the "renamed" account?

TS3992 I can't back up to icloud on my iphone. I have 25 GB of icloud backup storage, but it won't give me access to backup to it. How do you fix. My phone is almost full.

I can't back up to icloud on my iphone. I have 25 GB of icloud backup storage, but it won't give me access to backup to it. How do you fix. My phone is almost full. How can I start using the icloud storage?

If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

" Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"! i can't sign out my icloud account

I want to sign out my icloud account but I can't. When I try sign out, I received notification " Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"

Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!
Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry
Recovery restore challenges
- computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
rebooted computer then recovery restore worked
- recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!
Restore from backup challenges
* Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!
- have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
- each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
- when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
- I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
- finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
Missing apps from restore from backup
- Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
- I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
Conclusion
This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

Can't sign out of iCloud on Yosemite. Mail was unable to delete 'email'.

I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1 and I'm trying to log out of my iCloud account, but it won't let me. The error message I keep getting says,
"Mail was unable to delete 'email'. Relaunch Mail then sign out of iCloud again." I get the same message if I try to delete the account from Internet Accounts.
I've tried adding the email account in, but it says it's already there. I've deleted the com.apple.mail folder rebooted and tried and still the same thing.
The supervisor and engineers at Apple phone support have yet to find a solution for this other than wiping my system clean and starting fresh. That's definitely not my preference.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Stacy

I had the same issue. I rebooted to safe mode by holding the shift key at boot up. From there I went to System Preferences, iCloud, and I was able to finally sign out.
Hope this works for you.

I have a symbol on the top right hand corner and don't know what it is!! It's a little lock with a circle around it?? Help please???

It's Orientation Lock, which will kee the screen from rotating when you rotate the device.
It's accessible from Command Center- swipe up from the bottom of the screen. You should see the icon to turn Orientation Lock on or off.

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID. This is on an iPAD. It is not showing in Accounts. However, I cannot delete the mailbox,. Please advise

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID.
I am receiving email and I cannot delete the mailbox. Please advise.
the account is not viewable in settings.

I am assuming that this mail is coming into the Mail App, not another third party app, correct?
Is the AOL account showing up as its own mailbox in the mail app? (e.g. I see "All inboxes", "iCloud", and a third mailbox that is my second email address.)
Every "mailbox" except the "all inboxes" are going to be in the settings under mail, Contacts and calendars.
If the mail is coming into a mailbox that isnt the AOL mailbox, then it sounds like you have your AOL mail being forwarded to another email adress.

I changed my email Adress for my Apple ID. How can I sign out of iCloud and put my new email address in for my Apple ID in iCloud?

I changed the email address for my Apple ID and so how can I chAnge it to my new email Adress on my iCloud?

You should have done it the other way arround. You should have started with signing out, before you changed your email. I would suggest to follow these steps...
1. change your email address back to the old one
2. delete your iCloud account from all your devices (especially turn off "Find My iPhone")
3. change your email to your new email address aigain
4. add your iCloud account again

I can't sign OUT of iCloud on my new phone. I have a new email address...

We got new phones today. My wife and I had the same iCloud account and the friends at Verizon told us to each have one. So I set up my own account. We went to set up our phones and it keeps asking me for the OLD password (2 email addresses ago) and then when entered correct tells me the account does not exist...which I already know. I want to change the apple ID on my phone but CANT because it is all gray. I have tried to reset in the ITunes and App Storeand when I do this again I am prompted with the old account. I tried to step back and punt and clear the phone and set it up again...no luck. I am so annoyed please help me this has been a headache for hours.

I am never logged out of iTunes. I have reset my phone several times, started from the beginnin, took it to Verison, I have no clue! I have even tried a new iCloud ID! HELP!!!!!

Hi Sam From ME,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would suggest restarting your iPhone and seeing if the issue continues, and if it does, try resetting your iPhone as well:
