Trouble deleting an icloud account

    My husband added a line, received his 4s, and activated an icloud account. A week later I upgraded my phone to a 4s. He didn't want the white phone he received so we switched sim cards when purchasing mine. I was able to create my apple ID account in icloud but whenever I go into apps, his apple ID and request for his password pops up. How can we delete/get rid of his account on my phone and use mine and then he activate icloud on his phone?

Go to Settings > Store and sign out of his Apple ID and log in with your credentials.

  • Can't delete old iCloud account from new phone

    Have trouble deleting old iCloud account from my new phone keep getting a message saying can not delete cause in use

    iCloud accounts can be deleted in Mail, Contacts and Calenders in System Preferences from the Apple sign menu on your Host or Main mac.
    I had heaps of trouble with this - i fixed it by going back to my host imac and clicked on apple sign - system preferences - then under the Internet and Wireless heading clicked on Mail, Contacts & Calenders.  from there you can select iCloud amongst your other stuff in the left window - delete the old one by hitting the (minus) - sign down the bottom after selecting iCloud.  Keep your calenders and contacts on your mac when asked.
    Once you've deleted the old one and its gone from the window reselect iCloud from the right window of options.  Use your new apple ID (current e-mail) to set this one up.
    Once you sync all your devices it should all be good.
    Took me ages to work this out but minutes to fix once I had.
    hope this helps

  • I need to delete my iCloud account, because i have two open and need to consolidate. How do i simply delete the account?

    hi there, looking for help from anyone who may have had similar trouble.  I'm sure it's a simple fix...

    You can't delete an iCloud account, you can just choose to stop using it.
    If you are signed into two accounts on your Mac, you can delete the secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts, highlighting the account and clicking the "-" below it.  You can sign out of your main account in System Preferences>iCloud.  If you need to consolidate data from the two accounts, drag and drop the data within the various apps from the account you will no longer be using into the one you will be keeping before doing so.

  • Why can't I delete an iCloud account, I think we should have that option, this is ridiculous.

    I worry about my information floating around some server through Icloud when I don't want it there. Apple should provide a way to completely delete an icloud account from everywhere - devices, the web etc. If I had known that I wouldn't have this option, I would have never signed up for one considering all the trouble icloud has caused me. It keeps losing my contacts etc. Am I the only one that is annoyed and frustrated by this?
    I can delete an account from my iphone 5s but not from the internet. ***?

    You can't delete the actual account. In part this is probably to prevent the address from becoming available again and someone else grabbing it and pretending to be you. You can go to the website and delete all your data there so that it's empty, and then just ignore it.

  • How can I delete my iCloud account when it is sending a verification email to an address which is no longer accessible?

    I recently changed my old iTunes User id from an old, defunct, and inaccessible email address to a new and active one.  To do this I went to iTunes 'Manage your Account'.  At the same time, I changed my password, and this has been working fine.
    However, I now need to change my iCloud account, so I read up on it and saw that I needed to delete my old iCloud account and set up a new one with the new iTunes user id.  When I tried to delete the iCloud account, it sent a verification email to the old, defunct email address, and will not allow me to go any further until I confirm the verification.
    The problem is of course that I can't access the old email address to confirm the verification that iCloud has sent to it.
    Solutions already tried:
    Go into iTunes and 'Manage my account' - this doesn't work as there is no option to manage the iCloud account here, only the iTunes account
    Reset the iTunes account to the old email address - this doesn't work, as it still sends a verification to the old email address, and I can't access it to confirm
    Contacting Apple by email - tried this but they didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about!
    Does anyone out there have any bright ideas?  All welcome!

    Use "Manage your Account" to change the primary email address.

    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.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • I deleted my iCloud account, but now I can't use Find My iPhone. And I can't setup a new account because it writes that this account was assigned to iCloud already...

    Hi guys. I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5... Its great, I wanted to test out the new iCloud so I enabled it on first iOS 5 setup.
    So now I wanna delete it. So I did. Because my battery just wont work the way it used to on iOS 4.3.5. I guess it tries to connect to the internet so it could auto backup stuff. Well I dont need it. Mainly because I don't want to pay for extra space, and my free 5GB are almost done. Also I rather back it up on my PC.
    I deleted my iCloud account but now I can't use FindMyiPhone! When I connect to the app it wont find my phone. When I enabled iCloud again it worked.
    So I deleted it again and it stoped working again... I tried to setup a new account via MobileMe "Settings> email blah blah blah" and it didn't work because the account was already assigned to use iCloud only I guess...
    What should I do?

    Its solved I just restored it to that point

    you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
    if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

  • How do i delete an icloud account with an expired email?

    Hi,
    I had my icloud account (and itunes account) setup with my ID being an old email which I now do not have access too. It was hacked so I had to delete it.
    I changed the email address of my itunes account without any issues but now that I have changed that email address it means my AppleID is now my new email address as opposed to my old one. The issue for me is the AppleID on my icloud account is still my old email address and because i have changed my itunes account it will not recognise my old AppleID and password. Even if I used the forgot password feature I cannot access that email address any more.
    I went to delete my icloud account on my phone but it would not let me delete it because you need to enter your AppleID and password to confirm its removal. Can someone please help me here! what do i do!
    Thanks!

    Thanks David, I should have mentioned that. The phone itself is not hanging. I can double tap and swipe to close the setttings app. I've also tried restarting and resetting. I just found a discussion about using icloud in general and the problems it's giving people. Seems like several people could only get icloud off their device by connecting to their macbook.  I just got my ihpone 5s and am having syncing issues with reminders, contacts and calendar so I'm going to take it off icloud and see if that helps.

  • How do i delete an icloud account on iphone 6

    How do I delete an icloud account on my iphone 6?

    Hey Liz, 
    You should be able to sign out of an iCloud account by going to Settings > iCloud and scroll to the bottom and you will see an option to sign out the account. If you have multiple accounts, then you can go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and choose the account and scroll down to the same sign out option.
