If you mean you are trying to delete the iCloud backup of your old phone and it says it's currently in use, this should clear up on its on after 3-5 days. Give it a few days and try again.

CS4 "Already in use cannot delete" over network problem

Hello,
I am having a problem with a Mac on OS X not being able to open or delete any .ai files over a network on a Dell Server running Windows Server 2008. If we try to open or delete the file I get an error message "Already in use cannot delete". Also, I get a "cannot complete copy" error too. Whats weird is that both machines can see each other over the network and the Mac can read and write to all other files over the network. The server does not have anything adobe products installed at all. There is no other machine on the network that is causing these files to be in use. I have checked when the backups are done using Windows Server 2008 Backup and they are finished before anyone gets into the office, so I dont believe its the Backup program holding the files hostage. I have read in some areas that this may be a known flaw with NTFS formatting over a network, but im not sold on that idea yet.
Any and all suggestions would be as useful to me as insulin right about now.

Sorry one last thing. I can delete the files on the Server itself.

ICloud full, cannot access iCloud drive and cannot deleter files...

I am getting messages saying that my iCloud is full. Okay, I get it. So I look up how to free up space and find all the instructions on how to not have apps sync (which I've done) and to delete photos (which I've done), yet it's still full. I'm sure there are plenty of audio files on there that could be taken off as I do have iTunes Match however, I cannot for the life of me figure out HOW to delete any files off iCloud. I have tried accessing iCloud Drive on various computers and I get error messages and pop screens telling me to reload - shocker. So, how in the **** am I supposed to figure out what is taking up all this space on my iCloud and then, how do I delete it? I don't really "save" anything so I'm not sure what to do. Anyone else having the same issue and if so, any solutions? I do not want to buy more space but I want to be able to back up my phone. Technology is great when works, but this isn't working and it's frustrating. Thanks for anyone that has any helpful advice.

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.

HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id. I cannot verify the email sent. I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?
If problem contact iTunes by:

Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources
iCloudServices.resources
ShellStreams.resources
Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
thanks!!

I cannot delete my old iphone 4 icloud backup. Message: "This backup cannot be deleted as it is in use"

Yesterday, I used my iphone4 icloud backup for my new iphone5. As the wifi connection was unstable I experienced problems. So I backed up my iphone4 on itunes. I reset my iphone5 and used the itunes backup. I now cannot delete the iphone4 icloud backup. I have turned off "back up" on both phones. I have tried deleting iphone4 back up from iphones, ipad & imac with no success. I have read that you need to wait 48 hours as icloud is still backing up? I cannot backup my iphone5 as there is insufficient storage.

You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

TS4002 I cannot delet a file on my IPad using icloud mail...keeps freezing up and crashing.

I sent myself a file with an attachement. It is crahing my mail and I cannot delete it...what can I do to delet it?????

Dear Apple friends,
I have the exact same problem with some apps.
Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
Is there a fix for this issue?
Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?

How do I delete and create a new iCloud account on my iPhone, when I cannot delete the old account off my phone!

I have given my 4s to my wife, she has an iCloud account which uses her work address, she has now left the company and we want to start a new iCloud account, trouble is we cannot delete the old account, we have created a new iCloud account but the iPhone won't let us log into it as it only recognises the old version, we can't access her email anymore to reset the account. Have tried all online help. We restored the phone through iTunes

Ah thanks Razmee however there is NO option to delete the iCloud account in settings!

Cannot Delete file iCloud

I am having an issue with the New Late 2012 iMac and syncing numbers documents in the cloud.
1) I cannot sync a native document from the new iMac to the cloud via the Numbers Program. I can drag the document into the browser and update it that way
2) After doing this as a work around the document devlopes an error message making it unable to drag and drop 3 times seems to be the max allowed with this method
Spent an hour on the phone with Apple to no avail, I have tried
1) Deleteing icloud off all my devices Mini, Iphone, Ipad macbook air and iMac.
2) Yes I have made sure Docs in the cloud is turned on on all devices and the right icloud account is signed in
3) rebooted everything a few times
4) created another profile on the IMac which is able to update via the Native Numbers program and not the Browser as I was doing on profile 1.
The problem seems to be this file which is gray'd out and I cannot delete it off any device, the date that this started happening is the creation date of this document, so process of elimination I want to delete this document to see if this is corrupting profile 1 and disabling my ability to upload files via the native Numbers program.
Anyone have a document that is in the constant update state on icloud that cannot delete it with a new Mac? Its a very frustrating problem because I use the mac as the mother ship to handle presentations and spread sheets and its not pushing out what I do on it and its brand new..Considering doing a time machine restore on the new profile to see if that works..Anyone have some more thoughts, I have tried all the simple fixes thanks to Apple and a very nice female voice named Kerry.

This deeper than that. I created another account on the same iMac and it works in Harmony with my other devices and Documents in the cloud. I can only imagine the icloud account is somehow corrupted (I am on my macbook not iMac at the moment). There have been no updates to the Calendar, Contacts or Documents since early January on that account. I have spent 1hr on the phone with support and they were baffled as well. Only thing I can gove as insight to the problem is this, I was on the Mac Mini which was backed up on Time Machine. about 4 or 5 months ago I had to completley restore the Mac Mini becasue of the never ending circle on the load screen. The Backup failed to work it kept loading the issue and 4 or 5 times the circle of death kept coming up I would subsequently wipe the Mini and go further back in the back up until I go a copy that worked. I then loaded the Time Mache back up into my NEW iMac and wnet from there. It took about a month for this problem I am detailing above to start happening. It maybe a corrupt file loaded from the backup into the new iMac causing this problem. Best answer I can think of on my own???

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used. I now have a new icloud account, if I delete the old one will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone?

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used so I was never able to verify it or anything. I now have a new icloud account and I want to backup my phone before I get a new one in a couple of days. If I delete the old account will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone (remember they've never been backed up)? Thanks!

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.
