If your current account ID is an updated version of this older ID, try the steps in this article in order to delete the existing account: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud. The last one (change your ID temporarily) will usually work.
If your current account ID is an entirely new ID that was never previously associated with the old email address, contact the Apple account security team for assistance changing the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

I want to delete my icloud account but i dont want to lose my contacts. how do i keep my contacts if i dont want icloud on my iphone anymore

please help now my brothers contacts has all of my contacts

First, turn off using iCloud for your contacts. Go to:
Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> (your iCloud account)
Switch "Contacts" to OFF.
You should get a dialog box asking you if you want to keep the contacts on the phone or not -- choose the option to keep them.
Now you can delete the iCloud account but retain the contact information.

I deleted my iCloud account, but now I can't use Find My iPhone. And I can't setup a new account because it writes that this account was assigned to iCloud already...

Hi guys. I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5... Its great, I wanted to test out the new iCloud so I enabled it on first iOS 5 setup.
So now I wanna delete it. So I did. Because my battery just wont work the way it used to on iOS 4.3.5. I guess it tries to connect to the internet so it could auto backup stuff. Well I dont need it. Mainly because I don't want to pay for extra space, and my free 5GB are almost done. Also I rather back it up on my PC.
I deleted my iCloud account but now I can't use FindMyiPhone! When I connect to the app it wont find my phone. When I enabled iCloud again it worked.
So I deleted it again and it stoped working again... I tried to setup a new account via MobileMe "Settings> email blah blah blah" and it didn't work because the account was already assigned to use iCloud only I guess...
What should I do?

Its solved I just restored it to that point

I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that.

Welcome to the Apple community.
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.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone

how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime 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 iPad 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 using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad 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).

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my icloud account. I also have Find My IPhone activated. I tried to delete my ICloud account but first I need to switch off my Find My iPhone, to complicate this I can no longer access prev email account

Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend.

HT201342 I deleted my icloud account but now need my original icloud email address. I can't remember what it is!!!

I deleted my icloud account . . . How can I retrieve my original icloud email address? I need it to reset up my account.

Did you set up iCloud with the same Apple ID you use to post here? If another ID, do you know what that is? If so in either case, just sign in in System Preferences>iCloud to set your account up again; your email will still be there together with any messages which have arrived.

Please help

If you delete the iCloud account from the iPod yo will be offered the option to retain the data on the iPod. The data is Contact, Calendars and other information listed in Settings>iCod. It does not effect the apps and music and other things on the iPod. For more info see:
http://9to5mac.com/2013/07/13/how-to-safely-delete-an-icloud-account-from-your-m ac-or-ios-device/
If you have iOS 7 (5G iPod) you will have to enter the iCloud password to delete the account

I can log into my iCloud account but cannot access any of the applications.

I am able to log into my iCloud account but i am unable to access any of the applications. I always get the message that reads "there was a problem loading the application"
I therefore cannot go beyond just signing in

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Right, I've got you, I don't have this turned on so hence why I wasn't asked for this.

Can you delete an iCloud account but then make a new account with the same password?

Me and my mum share the same iCloud account with her email address, but I can't make my own unless I delete my mum's account that I share with her. If I delete the account, will my mum be able to make a new account with the same password?
Thank you!

Yes. You can use the same password for all your accounts (although it's less secure to do so). You just have to use a different Apple ID to set up a new account.

I changed my user name and password in Itunes, when I use my phone or Ipad, it askes for the password for the old username password it says it's invalid. I try to delete the Icloud account but it won't let me- Help

I changed my username and Password in Itunes on my computer. Now when I use my Iphone, Ipad, it asks for the password for the old username. when I type the password for that old user name, it says it's invalid. I figured I needed to delete the old Icloud account from my Iphone and Ipad, but they ask for the old password for the Old username. I type it in and it says invalid. As of now, I can't use Icloud or Itunes on either the Ipad or Iphone.... Help!

If the old ID ("username") is an earlier version of your current ID, 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. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current 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.com and 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.
