I changed email address and had to delete my account and create a new one with the new email address. When I did this i lost all of the information in my calendar. How can I recover this vital information?

It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.

You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
Your choices are:
--Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
--Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
Good luck.

Can i delete my itunes store account and create a new one?

i have an itunes account open already but its old and full of old downloads and songs which are not relevant to me anymore. id like to delete my account and open a new one, is this possible? if not, how could i make a new account with the same email as my old account?
any help is much appreciated, thank you.

Then just delete the music from your iTunes library that you no longer want.
There is no reason to create a new iTunes account to purchase new music. This will not delete the old music in your iTunes library.

HT5621 I recently changed my Apple ID but my cloud backup keeps asking for password to my old Apple ID. If I go in and delete my cloud account and create a new one will I lose everything or does the cloud follow my new ID when I set it up?

I recently changed my Apple ID but I keep getting messages from my Cloud account asking for my password to my old Apple ID. If I go in and delete the current Cloud account that appears to still be associated with my old ID and set up new one with my current ID will I lose all the stuff in the Cloud?

Did you just change the address or did you create a new Apple ID.

How can I delete my itunes account and create a new one ?

Hi Everyone
I've got a problem with my current account itunes (french) :
I'm between France and Spain. I usaully use french applications but I would like to be able to pick some apps in the spanish itunes store, and in the english one (such as i already do in the french one). Lately I change my payment data to my spanish visa card data, since then I cannot download any app anymore.
So I tried to create a new account in the itunes store choosing the spanish location, but it s not possible since my actual email adress is the back up email adress of my french account .
Can you please provide me some support ?
A good day to you all.
Audrey

You can access www.appleid.apple.com and open your old account and delete.

HT4436 How can I change my Icloud account's name? Do I need to delete the old account and create a new one? And all this without loosing my data...

I want to create a new email address/additional cloud account and move all my data to the new acccount. How can I do it?

Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, your can photo stream photos directly to your computer. If not, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap the share arrow button, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once in the camera roll you can import them to your computer.

HT201342 I am having some trouble trying to back up my notes to my iCloud account, i have tried to delete my icloud account and create a new one, but still when i back my phone up on iCloud my notes do not seem to be backed up.How can i back up by notes o

I am having some trouble trying to back up my notes to my iCloud

Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

I am experiencing problems with my i phone due to sharing my daughters i tunes acoount. I have been told by apple to cancel my existing (shared) i tunes account and open a new one for my use only. How do I do this? Please help. RM

I am experiencing on going problems with my i phone 4 due to me sharing an i tunes account with my daughter. I have been told by apple to cancel my existing (shared) i tunes account and open a new one for my use only. How do I do this? I cant find any links in i tunes to do this. mountfield

No, it's done on the computer, it's just done on the web and not through iTunes. I guess you could do it on the iPhone, but it would be easier to do on the computer.
Just go to the site linked above, then click on the big blue button and fill out the neccessary information.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

When you delete a Pop mail account, it disappears from the Account Settings and Folder Pane, but fortunately it still exists in the Profile folder unless you had removed it.
Ideally, you should have moved all the emails into 'Local Folders' before removing the account.
You could use this addon tool to import messages into 'Local Folders' account.
'''ImportExportTools: '''
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
Download the .xpi file and save to desktop or Downloads folder.
'''To install addon:'''
In Thunderbird
'Tools' > 'Addons' OR 'Menu icon' > 'Addons'
* click on the gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
* Locate and select the .xpi file you downloaded and click on 'Open'.
* After installing you will need to restart Thunderbird to activate.
In 'Local Folders' create some folders with suitable names.
Right click on folder > ImportExportTools
There are a couple of Options on importing

You have to sign out of the old one and then sign back in with the new one. On an iOS device it's Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server, just disengage the device from it). On a Mac it's System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.

Sorry, have I misunderstood you?
If you have forgotten your password, then how did you create a new password? You cannot simply "create a new password" after forgetting the original one.
How would you get into the account so that you could change it?

If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).
