Iphone still on icloud account after deletion

removed iphone 4 from icloud ( icloud.com/find ) but phone still locked on the icould account. It still asks for the email & password.
tried to update to ios 7 & phone turned off & stuck on activation lock even though the phone was deleted off the account. what do i do now?

FIXED!!!!! This problem was weirder than I thought. I'll try to be very specific and include all the keywords I searched for, so that people can find this thread and fix this.
Under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" I couldn't add any type of account, couldn't delete my iCloud account, or change any settings. Didn't matter whether it was gmail, exchange, yahoo, or even carddav. Adding accounts would verify, but once I hit "Save" it would get stuck on "Adding Accounts" with the spinning circle. Adding a carddav account would verify, but the "save" button on the top right was greyed out, and the "Back" button was greyed out as well, forcing me to force close the Settings app. Attempting to delete the iCloud account would freeze the Settings app as well.
I have fixed this problem by restoring the phone, skipping the setup of iCloud, then adding the email account. I found this solution at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3457089 where only the answer to the original post solved my problem. Unlike that poster, however, I was able to actually access the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings, I was just not able to make any changes whatsoever. I have not tried adding my iCloud account back in, but the other poster tried adding it, and he stopped receiving emails from the non-iCloud account.

  • Bought a used iphone and someones icloud account is on it. We reset it and it still is on there. How do I get it off without knowing there email or pw???

    Bought a used iphone and someones icloud account is on it. I reset it with itunes and then it only lets me get so far when it says it is still tied to another account. How can I delete it without there email and password???

    Welcome to the Apple community cstm28.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • I took my daughter's new Iphone 5 to shop and they replaced it with a new one.  Today she logged on to my ICloud account and deleted all my contacts and just kept the ones she wanted.  Can I retrieve my contacts, please help

    My daughter has a new Iphone 5 and we share an ITunes account.  She logged on to my Icloud Account and deleted all my contacts this morning.  Can i restore this as I now only have her friends as my contacts?

    No, data like Email, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes are only synced between devices and not included in icloud backups, so unfortunately you won't be able to restore them. Please see also: iCloud storage and backup overview: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519/

  • I accidentally deleted my backup from icloud on my iphone and now when I go into icloud in the settings it doesn't give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore? How can I get my phone to backup to icloud again?

    I accidentally deleted the latest backup for my iphone 6 on icloud like a week ago and now I can't backup my phone to icloud at all.  When I go into settings, then into icloud, and then into manage my storage it does not give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore. How do I get the "backup my iphone now" option in the manage my storage part of the icloud setting? Thanks.

    Hey guys I figured out how to solve the issue.
    You need to go to settings>general>restrictions.
    Turn off restrictions and your iCloud and twitter will start working.
    Enjoy.

    thanks

    You can't use icloud to store photos.  There's a service called photo stream which is used to sync photos from one device to another, but this can't be used to store photos permanently.
    Always sync photos from a device to your computer,  Then you can delete them from the device.
    Read this...  import photos to your computer...

  • HT5622 How do I change my e-mail address on my iphone for my icloud account

    The e-mail address showing on my iphone for my icloud account isn't correct, I no longer use the e-mail and no longer have a password or access to it. I have amended my icloud account on a PC but it still shows the old e-mail on my phone, its driving me crazy...please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Lisa.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Can I have two iPhones on one iCloud account?

    I would like to put my wifes iphone on my icloud account so in the end we will have 2 iphones and one macbook on the account is that possible?

    You can but it's usually not recommended.  If you do any synced data will be merged to the same iCloud account.  For example if you both sync your contacts and calendars with the same iCloud account you will see each others contacts and calendar events on your phones.  Also, you can share an Apple ID (account) for iTunes store purchasing and still have separate iCloud accounts.  This article may be of interest: http://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-5-icloud-tips-sharing-an-apple-id-with-you r-family/.

    You will need to visit appleid.apple.com to manage your Apple ID. From there, you can log in with your existing credentials and then change your registered email addresses.
    This is also where you can update your physical address, phone number, security questions, etc.
    Hope this helps!

  • How could I export my contacts on my iPhone to my iCloud account ?

    How could I export my contacts on my iPhone to my iCloud account ?
    Because I want to manage (group) my contacts and then import my contacts into my iPhone again.
    Furthermore , I want to export my contacts to MicroSoft Outlook 2010.

    I think you have a couple of options.  You can bluetooth it or export from an account.
    Here is a link that may help you.  I think your phone has its own tutorial section on Verizon Support Knowledge Base.
    Try here
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/42651/
    Some advice is to save those contacts to a gmail account instead to the Backup Assistant account.  I read some other users were having problems with the Backup Assistant account deleting all contacts on their phone. 

  • Can the icloud account be deleted?

  • Bought a phone but it locked with icloud account after restore

    bought a phone but it locked with icloud account after restore.........i bought it from online market, so cant contact the seller of it.......how can i get seller apple id and password or contact him to activate my phone again......

    You cannot
    Activation lock is the latest form of anti theft
    If you cannot contact the original owner who set the Apple id then the iPhone is a paper weight .
    It cannot be activated in any way and the "seller" is the only way you will get the information
    Suggest you file a claim on the online auction ,the iPhone was probably stolen
