How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.

Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd.
Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart. Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk. I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work. The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine. When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open.
Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does.
Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
All of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:

I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
I hope you'll post here with your results!

I have changed the email address related to my Apple ID.However the old email address has stayed on my old Ipad and I cloud.How do I change this as I can't remember the password.

Can anyone help with this please ?
When I try to retive the password using the old email address I don't get an email....
thanks

Hey lotuselise1968,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
- If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
- If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
1. Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
2. Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My iCloud Account is displayed with an old ID. How do I change this? Additionally, I have forgotten the password associated with the old ID.

When I tap the Settings icon on my iPhone 4S Home screen, and then scroll down and tap “iCloud”, my iCloud Account is displayed with a previous email address which is no longer in use.
When I scroll down and tap “Delete Account”, I’m prompted for the Apple ID password associated with the old email address to turn off Find My iPhone?
I do not know the password for this old Account, and the email is no longer accessible so I'm unable to delete the account.
Therefore, how can I match my iPhone iCloud Account to my MacBook Pro iCloud Account which uses my new email address and password?

I have the same problem , can anyone help??

I changed my email address and now cannot get into my icloud account to change that because I don't know the password

I changed my email address and my password on my ipad but when I tried to change the address on my icloud account it keeps asking me for my old password which I no longer know. I can't delete the account because I can't access it without the old password

How do I re-set Google Search to my actual location? I can change back and forth in other browsers, but in Firefox my change is stuck on a different city and I cannot get it to change back.

I changed my location in Google so I could do a search in another city. Then when I tried to change it back to my location, it stays stuck on the "other" city. I went into Google search settings and tried it on the search page and no changes were saved.
I tried it on Chrome and Safari and had no problems going from one to another and having everything save as I wanted, yet in Firefox it does not change.

User fonts, those not require by the OS, are in two locations;
Mac HD/Library/Fonts
~/Library/Fonts
I would see if the 11M+ fonts are in ~/Library/Fonts first. If so drag them to the Trash and restart.

HT1848 can you do this without connecting your device? my ipod was stolen and i cannot get my music off of it and im not sure what to do. HELP!

My ipod was stolen and i can not get my music onto my computer. What do I do? Ive spent ALOT of money on music and apps and i cant access them. anyone want to be so kind as to help?

What country are you in ? As long as they are still available in the store then apps can be re-downloaded from the store for free, and in a number of countries music can also be re-downloaded : re-downloading.

HT5622 I have 2Apple accts, one has upgraded iCloud storage and I cannot get it to downgrade, it keeps kicking me back to the other acct. even tho I logged in on the acct I want to change

I have 2 Apple accts. the one that I use the least, evidently I upgraded last year. Now I want to downgrade that account. I cannot seem to get to the place to downgrade, each time I try I seem to wind up back on the other acct, even tho I have logged in under the acct I need to change. I am getting very frustrated. Anyone understand? Do I just need to delete the account?

Log into appleid.apple.com and verify that both the email addresses you use do not show up there in the same account. My worry is that you might be mistaking a login alias ([email protected]) as a separate account which it might be one in the same. Either way, if you are having issues downgrading your storage you will need to contact Apple for more assistance.

TS3988 Okay my iPad put my husbands cellular number in and I cannot get it to change to put my cellular number in

My Husbands i phone number got into my ipad and now I cannot change it and put mine in

This is the case, if you use his Appple ID for Messages and FaceTime. Just go to "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive", click on the Apple ID and sign out. (Here you could sign in with your own account or if you do not already have one, then you could create a new account for you). After that go to "Settings > FaceTime" and do the same here.

My ipod says my password is wrong no matter how many times I reset it. I know the password is correct but my ipod account does not reconize it. Help me!!!!

I recently changed my apple ID from my old email to my new one. When I try to purchase songs or apps, the apple ID still comes up as my old email. It will not let me log in with my password for either my old apple ID or my new apple ID. I tried to create another account with my new email but it said there was already an account with that email. When I tried to sign in with that same email, it was there was no existing account with that email. That just doesn't make sense. Please help me get this figured out!!!

I'm having the same issue. I went through the apple website to reset my password, and it was no problem, even let me update my email address and apple id, but my iphone is still not accepting what I know the password is, so I can't delete it, or change the apple id information.

Go to Settings-General-Accessibility scroll to the very bottom and turn on AssistiveTouch. In the top left corner of your screen a black box with a circle will appear. Select it then select device. A menu will pop up and on the right will be a selection for Mute/Unmute. You can then go back and turn off AssistiveTouch and the setting will remain applied.

My cursor has vanished on start up and I cannot get into my laptop.

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or if you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

HT202667 I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID! H

I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.
