If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Deleted my old iCloud account and Gmail address, now I can't sign into the new one on iPhone. HELP??

So I deleted my old Apple ID and the Gmail account it was connected to because I got hacked.
Now I want to connect my iPhone to my new iCloud account, but it is asking me to sign in to my old account first.
The password doesn't work because the account doesn't exist and I can't reset the password because the gmail account it is connected to doesn't exist either.
Please tell me there is some way past this.... it's very anoying.

The password doesn't work because the account doesn't exist and I can't reset the password because the gmail account it is connected to doesn't exist either.

I need assistance deleting an old icloud account on my iphone (no longer have access to password or email)

I have an Icloud account set up on my Iphone which is outdated - I no longer have access to the password or email address. I want to delete this and replace with my new and current Icould but it seems not to want to let me.
I have tried to delete the Icloud account but I need the password to do this (because Find My Iphone is switched to On).
I have tried to access the support site to change my password but it will not accept my date of birth as personal ID so blocks me there. I cannot reset the password by email as I no longer have access to the email address.
Is there a way to change the Icloud account on an iphone without needing a password to delete the old one?
Thanks

Delete entire old iCloud account and start fresh from a new iPhone

My ex partner set my iCloud account up in my name using my already existing itunes account. Since we have split he has been messing with it and locating me using his computer. I have tried to change my password but every time I select to change it via email I never receive the mail and I can't choose the secret question as he chose the question and answer originally. I have now got a new iPhone and would like to have a fresh iCloud account that only I can access using the same email, how can I do this? I would also like to erase the current one off my old iPhone and the backup on his computer but I can't personally access his computer, can I do that? It's quite important that I do because I don't want him having all my contacts and info anymore, it's a matter of safety for me.

You can not delete an existing account completely, but you could delete the contacts, etc. manually and then delete the account from your old device in "Settings > iCloud" and other accounts "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > ..."
As Julian already posted (http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html) this explains the set up process for iCloud on a new iPhone/iPad/ipod touch. During the set up process you have the opportunity to create a new iCloud account. (But you can do it also create a new iCloud account after the usual iPhone set up in "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > iCloud".)

When I purchase my iPad I was working for McDonald's and my user ID was my McDonald's email address , I donot work for them now. I need to change my iPad user ID and I don't remember my password for the old user ID

When I purchae my iPad, my user ID was set up as my email address, now I am not working for the company and my user ID is not working. I need to change my iPad user ID

You could go to settings/itunes & app store, tap on the ID and then log out. Tap on create new ID and do that and then log in with that ID. You would need to turn off imessage and facetime and turn them back on and activate them with the new ID. You will need to delete the icloud account save any contents to the device and create a new account. Remember that all purchases are linked to the old ID and can only be updated etc with that ID

How can i log out of my old iCloud account when i don't remember the email address and ID password?

i while ago i was using my original email address for my apple ID. then i changed service providers for talk talk to BT internet, and i doing so my old email address became discontinued. i now use a gmail account for my new Apple ID. i do not know my security questions for my old one and cannot log into my old email address to veryify a reset password because said address no longer exists. please help, thank you.

Hello hblack123
If you have a rescue email address setup, then you should be able to send an email to reset the password or the security questions. If that is not available, then you would need to contact iTunes Store support. Check out the article below for more information.

My phone's locked to my boyfriends apple id/icloud account and we don't know the password, there is no way of getting the password either, it's a really old account is there any way around this meaning i can unlock my phone again?

i got my iphone 4 off my boyfriend as mine had broke and he upgraded to a 5c.
And the other day i restored my iphone by mistake and now it's not letting me on it unless i give the password to the account which neither of us have, or cannnot get hold of. Is there another way around this? or not?

No there is no way around this.

You will not lose them from your camera roll but you will lose them from icloud.

I have an old iCloud account on my phone.
This account was set up using an old Apple ID and password.
Since then I've changed both id and password.
In order to delete the existing (old) iCloud account from my phone I need to provide the old password from the old and defunct account.
I don't remember that password.
I've tried resetting it through the support network but to no avail.
I need to delete the old account in order to set up a new one.
Any thoughts?

If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787). If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.
