I deleted my account to create a new one but it now says my email is already in use, what do ?

I'm using Firefox Sync across multiple computers / profiles / Firefox version (mainly minefield) and since a few weeks I get sync errors everywhere. I'm a very early user of Weave if that helps.
Thinking about having a fresh start, I deleted my sync account successfully. Now, creating a new one through the Firefox Sync wizard, it says my email is already used.

The login parameter was a username, I'm an early adopter.
I've set up a new account using an "[email protected]" email, but it doesn't solve the fact that I should have been able to reuse my normal email as the account associated with it was deleted (supposedly?).
As for the sync errors, I keep getting them, but have narrowed them down to bookmarks syncing. I'll create another thread for that when I know more I guess.

  • I changed email address and had to delete my account and create a new one with the new email address. When I did this i lost all of the information in my calendar. How can I recover this vital information?

    My email address changed and I had to delete my account and create a new one with the new address. After I did this all of the data in my iPhone calendar is gone. How can I recover this vital data?

    It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.

    You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
    Your choices are:
    --Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
    --Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
    Good luck.

    Sorry, have I misunderstood you?
    If you have forgotten your password, then how did you create a new password? You cannot simply "create a new password" after forgetting the original one.
    How would you get into the account so that you could change it?

  • I am trying to delete my icloud account to create a new one but it will not let me delete my old account

    I am trying to delete my old icloud account but it will not let me delete the account?

    If you are trying to delete an old iCloud account in order to sign in with an updated ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going tohttps://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 yourcurrent 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.comand 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.

  • Can I delete my iCloud and create a new one, but retain all my stuff?

    So I can't remember the password/security questions to the current apple ID i'm using for my iCloud. It's an old email address that I don't use anymore. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to delete my icloud account then simply create a new account and have it sync all the stuff from my old account?

    So there is absolutely no way to get rid of that @yahoo.com adress? Maybe remove the @me.com adress, and then create a new account? I want it to be a clean account, not a 2-level account, etc. Just the @me adress. It's possible since today i set up a Mac, and i created a "pure" iCloud adress. just the @me.com

    I am having some trouble trying to back up my notes to my iCloud

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

  • Hi. I delete older accounts to sell my MacBook Air, but it is still without space in the disc. What can I Do?

    Please, somebody help me.
    I am going to sell my MacBook Air and I delete my account and create another new.
    But in the storage there are at least 33Gb of information.
    What can I do?

    To prepare a computer for sale or donation, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
    If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
    If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you paid for an upgrade OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall  the original OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.)
    The new owner will have to repurchase the software, if need be, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer them either.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • Can i delete my itunes store account and create a new one?

    i have an itunes account open already but its old and full of old downloads and songs which are not relevant to me anymore. id like to delete my account and open a new one, is this possible? if not, how could i make a new account with the same email as my old account?
    any help is much appreciated, thank you.

    Then just delete the music from your iTunes library that you no longer want.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes account to purchase new music. This will not delete the old music in your iTunes library.

  • Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • I delete my iCloud account and got a new one but the previous iCloud account is keep showing up.what do I do??

    I delete my iCloud account and got a new one but the previous iCloud account is keep showing up.what do I do??

    You have to sign out of the old one and then sign back in with the new one. On an iOS device it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just disengage the device from it). On a Mac it's System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.

    Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists.  If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

    It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
    If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use.  Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
    Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.
