... why cant apple at least inform previous owner?
But here is Apples Support Article on...
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
And the way it works is:
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud account. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch" due to not knowing the password. How am I able to shut that off and log into my own account?
You can't. This is a security feature to prevent the resale of stolen iOS devices. You need to contact the seller and have him/her remove it from their iCloud account. Or return and get your money back. See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts. All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together. I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists. How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
Thanks
pallhuesYou can't merge iCloud accounts.
You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest. -
I do not use and do not want an iCloud account and I keep getting requests to sign in....how do I stop the request?
If you bought the machine new yourself, and did not enter a password when configuring it, leave the field blank.
If you bought it used, then you need to reset the password, as described here:

I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address? I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures
To change it, you have delete the existing account. However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process. To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in. -

Hi Tania1894,
If you do not know your iCloud password and did not receive your reset email, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

I know this is going to sound stupid but I can't seem to set up my email as an iCloud email account. I want to eliminate my aol account and transfer everything to iCloud with an iCloud email. How do I do this.
If your Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, you first have to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then check Mail. This will automatically add an iCloud email account.
To transfer your AOL mail, you need to drag and drop them into the same folder in the iCloud account. If you have any folders in your AOL mail, you would need to create folders by the same name in the iCloud account, then open each folder, select all the mail in the folder and drag and drop them on the folder by the same name in your iCloud account. (To create a folder in the iCloud account, click the "+" at the bottom of your folder list, choose Create Mailbox, choose iCloud as the location and give it a name.) -
I have been using AOL for many years as my ISP but now I want to close my account and use iCloud. My challenge is I don't want to lose five years worth of emails and attachments saved in AOL personal folders. Can I can transfer the files using iCloud?
Do you receive AOL mail in the Mail app or on the website?

I want to terminate my @icloud email account
I want to terminate my @icloud email account, off my iPhone 5c and anywhere else it might be. I don't want to terminate my apple ID or my iCloud account. Just the additional email account it gave me that I cannot delete off my iPhone without clearing all of icloud
Thank you so much, i kept going to settings>mail, calendar, contacts > iCloud email account and turning off mail didnt work there...

HT4436 I do not want an iCloud account. How do I close it down?
I do not want an iCloud account. How do I close it down?
Purely because I do not need nor want to use the cloud. Any work that I do on a computer can wait until I get home. The iCloud account opened itself when I downloaded and opened Mavericks.
