IOS 7apple id verification when deleting iCloud account or linking new iCloud account to a device for find my iPhone

In iOS7 devices are activation locked when they are linked to an apple ID find my iphone. It seems that this will occur only once the apple id / find my iphone is enabled from iOS7 itself.
But, with the phone in hand, I was curious if changing the apple ID, either at the point of deleting the existing one within the iCloud settings tab, or at the point of turning on find my iPhone for the new account, are you also required then to verify the apple id that previously held the device?
I have a test phone about ready to set up so I can answer this question in testing. I am starting with it linked to my own apple ID find my iPhone. If someone already knows, feel free to chime in.

Since it hasn't been released yet, anyone who knows would not be able to comment as they're still bound by an NDA.

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.

HT201441 How do I update my apple ID for find my iphone when it is linked to an old deleted email address that is not recoverable

I recently changed my apple ID after I deleted my old email address which is no longer recoverable. I cannot get the find my iphone app to work. When I log in to try and change my apple id to the current one, or delete the account, it asks me for my password to the old email (apple id). I have no idea how to change this to be current. The password for my old apple id will not work and I am going in circles. When I log into the app and use my current apple id it does not locate any of my devices. They all say they are offline but are not. Any suggestions or help on how to unlink my old apple id to this app??

Hello Fatboy896,
You may need to temporarily change your Apple ID back, sign out of iCloud on your device, then revert the change to your Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

How can I lock out my iCloud?
Because of forget my old password I have create a new Apple ID
But when I wan to log out my iCloud,it call me to logout Find My iPhone.
I had already forget the password that why I create a new Apple ID.
Have any solution for problem like this ?

Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

TS3988 Can I set up additional icloud accounts just for Find My iPhone?

i have 5 iphones, 4 of which are under my icloud account id. I'd like to know if can have access to my son's iphone location with the Find My iPhone app using his icloud account information on my iphone.

Yes. You don't need to set up or use additional iCloud accounts on your phone to do this. You can track any device using Find My iPhone from your phone by downloading the free Find My iPhone app, then in the app signing into the iCloud ID that the device(s) you are trying to track are using.

HT204053 can computer with different iCloud account show up on my find my iPhone

I recently purchased a macbook pro for my daughter. I would like her new computer to show up on my "find my iphone" account. She has a seperate icloud account for her computer. I was able to do it with her iphone, but not her macbook.

It's tied to the iCloud ID. You would need to go to icloud.com and sign into her iCloud account in order to track it. If you are using the Find My iPhone app, you would need to sign out, then sign into her iCloud account to track it.

Is it possible to interconnect 2 iCloud accounts together for find my iPhone purposes?

For find my iPhone and iPad purposes; is it possible to establish a link beween 2 iCloud accounts? For example: my spouse and myself?

No, but if you are simply attempting to locate each other, try the find my friends app.

DO Corp. owned iPhones brick when wiped (employee registered for "Find My iPhone" with their iTunes account)

We issue Corp. owned iPhones to employees. If the employee registers the phone for "Find My iPhone" using their personal iTunes account, if the employee leaves or is terminated and we have to wipe the phone, does the phone brick?

They do not brick, but it would be necessary to either turn off Find My iPhone prior to restoring the device or knowing the Apple ID/password that the Find My iPhone was setup with to turn it off afterwards.
Without this information, the device would be useless.

You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer.

How can I use a different Apple ID for Find My iPhone than for iCloud syncing/storage and iTunes purchases?

I use two different Apple ID's for two iPhone 4's and for iTunes on my PC. I use one for purchases and the other for Find My iPhone on both phones. How can I set up iCloud for both phones using each ID for it's user for storage and backup but keep one ID for purchases and one for Find My iPhone on both phones?

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

When I search for "find my iPhone" on my mac, it doesn't find the app.

So I have find my iphone installed on my iPhone & it finds my phone & my mac.
Now I'd like to install in on my mac. It's more practical that if I lose my iPhone I'll use my Mac to find it.
When I search for "find my iPhone" in the App store, it can't find any apps by that name.
Closest is find my mouse.

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Location Services > scroll down to Find My iPhone, tap and turn location services ON.

When deleting iCloud account, how can I save the photo's & other apps etc that are stored in iCloud?

I have recently changed my Apple ID as my email address has changed & also changed my password.
I posted a question yesterday about this & have since discovered from further searching here, that I need to delete and set up a new iCloud account as my iPad keeps asking me to login in with my Apple ID showing my old email address (& doesn't accept old (or new) password). Also, naturally, I can't back up with iCloud.
When I go to delete iCloud account a message appears that my photo stream (& presumably other stored apps etc?) will be deleted/ lost from my iPad too. I currently have no access to any other computer (when return home I have a windows lap top only). I am therefore very reluctant to delete my account in fear of loosing my photo's in particular.
Can any one help with the above please? Would all my stored data (phot's, apps etc) actually be deleted from my iPad when deleting my iCloud account? If so how else can I save (later restore?) my iCloud stored data?
Man thanks,
NJohnR

I do appreciate your, obviously experienced, help.
When I went to change my details in the mail settings as you suggested, I was unable to do so. Yes- I could & did add my new email details that I changed to in my Apple ID. however I was unable to change the primary email & therefore iCloud still wouldn't recognise my new Apple ID & kept asking for my details under my old/ original email address.
Though I did search further after this in the iCloud web site & found further very similar questions to mine where users were successful by deleting the iCloud account.
So I went ahead & did this. As soon as I had deleted the account it asked me to login to iCloud with my new email address in my Apple ID which worked fine - & I have also retained all my data.
Again, I appreciate your help & time you spent in reading and answering my need for help.
All the best,
NJohnR
