Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.

HELP!!!!!!!!
Yes, pictures in Photo Stream will deleted. Only on photo stream not on iCloud and Camera Roll. You can login again if you want.

when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?
If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place. The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
It does not convert the file. You can delete the original if you wish. -

How do I delete an old iPad from my iCloud? I have restored the iPad to its factory settings and linked my new iPad however the old one is still showing in my iCloud.
Hello Erin,
You can and it depends on what you are referring to. For example, are you wanting to remove you old iPad from the Find My iPhone feature, you can do that at iCloud.com and the steps for that are in the first article. If you are wanting to delete an old back up, then check out the second article to walk you through those steps.

After confirming that all your stuff is on the drive, delete the photos you have copied. You will need to empty the iPhototrash to free up the space. -
What happens if i delete an old backup from my iCloud to free up space?
What happens if i delete an old backup from my iCloud to free up space?
Nothing. You will lose that backup but you will still be able to make backups in the future if you want to. You can also remove things you do not need from the backup, so you do not have to lose everything from your backup.

I can't delete an old backup from my iCloud
Hi, I'm trying to turn off and delete an old backup from my iCloud, but I received an error message "Cannot Delete Backup - this backup cannot be deleted beacaus it is in use". I don't know how I can delete this old backup. Does anyone help me?
TksI'm having the same problem.
I just sold my iPad on eBay and will get the iPad mini Retina, so in the meantime I'm borrowing my brother's iPad.
I backed up my iPad, and restored it to my brother's one, and now I'm trying to delete the old backup, but I get this exact same message, and it's been about 9 hours since I did the restore.
To make matters worse, my 10GB subscription ends tomorrow, and I don't need any more than 5GB, and now I'm over the limit when I could delete this 1GB backup and not have to worry about the subscription ending.
I've tried deleting it from my iMac, iPhone, and this iPad. -
So why doesn't the new software upgrade the Apple TV to 1080hp...from the 720hp? Do I have to buy a new Apple TV to get that Upgrade? Mine is only about 2 months old! Very frustrating if thats the case!
If you want 1080, you will need to purchase the new Apple TV.

Hi, raneth's boyfriend!
Unfortunately, iTunes was told to restore all data from an old backup onto the new phone, and that cannot be undone.
However, prior to this, iTunes 10 would have also asked to make a backup of the phone before doing the restore. If the user elects to say "yes" to perform the backup, then iTunes would have backed up the phone before erasing it.
Hopefully, that backup will still be available in iTunes, and if so, it would be backed up under the new phone's name prior to it being erased and restored (if the name of the new phone is different to the name of the old phone).
To check if iTunes has a backup of the phone prior to the restore, look in the Devices category in iTunes Preferences. All backups made are timestamped and are identified with the iPhone's name at the time of the backup. Look for:
• a backup of the phone using the new phone's name prior to the erase and restore, or
• a backup with the same date and time as that when the phone was erased and restored (not the date and time AFTER when the phone was erased and restored!). This may be the case if the new and old phones have the same name.
If a backup is available, you can erase and restore again using that backup. The phone will be restored with what would hopefully be the original image of the new phone.
If no backup was made prior to erasing and restoring the phone initially, then there is no way to
undo it, meaning your phone's original data has been lost.
