TS3988 i cannot delete my icloud account from my iphone. i cant get icloud off the phone

I got an icloud account on my iphone and now I want to delete the icloud account but I cannot seem to get rid of it. It will not delete and cannot find a way to do it online either. Help!

Did you try going to Settings>iCloud, scrolling to the bottom and tapping Delete Account (and if you want to keep the synced data be sure to choose Keep on iPhone when prompted)?

You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

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

How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can i delete an icloud account from my iphone

How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone. I have two icloud accounts the old one just can not retrieve the pwd to access it

If the old ID is your ID, and if your second ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I deleted an e-mail from my iCloud account from my iPhone and cleared the trash. I accidentally deleted an e-mail from my college containing a string of 3 e-mails which are very important. Is there anyway to retrieve the e-mail from the Apple server?

If I delete my iCloud account from my iPhone

If I delete my iCloud account from my iPhone will it also delete the account online along with the data backed up?
I just created a new id because I've been using my father's account all this time. Recently I've just updated to the new iOS and I still have doubts whether to change the icloud account or not. I'm worried all of my dad's back ups, contacts and other data be deleted.
If it doesn't get deleted, can I still use the account in the future?
(Currently using iPhone 4 with the iOS 7.0.3 update)

Nope. Just the account & data on your phone.

Yep, but Apple reserves the right to delete the data if the account is dormat for an extended period of time.

Yes. It only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud. Other devices can still use the account without any issues.

I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists

I deleted my hotmail account from Mac mail but I can't create the account again as it says it already exists. I really want my hotmail back and for the hotmail folders to be accessible. Gmail is working and the folders are accessible. My iphone already receives my mail so I don't want to effect that. Any help please?

You need to post in the Mail forum area of whichever os you are using (which you did not indicate).

That is the gmail server which has nothing to do with your iphone or Apple.

Hi karen615,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Best regards,

HT4915 How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud?

How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud? I don't want to remove the song from my library, just my iPhone.

If you're using iTunes Match, currently this is not possible. For some reason the ability to remove individual songs was removed with iOS 6. All you can do is delete all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage, tapping Music, swipping across All Music and tapping Delete), then redownload the music you want on your phone from iTunes Match.
If you're not using iTunes match you could try swipping across the title of the song and seeing if the option to Delete appears. Not sure if this is still possible for non-iTunes Match users.
