TS3988 I want to delete my current I.cloud account and sign up with a new one

I want to delete my current icloud account and sign up with a new one

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted (if running iOS 7).  Then sign back in with a different ID to create your new account.  Be sure to save any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll before deleting the account by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
If you want to migrate your data to the new account, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

    OK...now I appear to 'progressed' I changed my email address back to original on Apple id and then was able to delete icloud account. Apparently I couldnt do it as it kept requesting password  when I entered passsword ( both old and new one, it wouldnt accept it as it had my old email address in ) It didnt do that on ios6 . Anyway I deleted account, but now I tried to login in with my new id/password and it says unable as already in use!!! More help needed please! Its a nightmare!!

  • I want to delete all my existing mail accounts and reset

    I have three mail accounts. I want to delete all these accounts and set up a new account. How do I do this?

    I may add that this is true, but "only" for mails stored on the Mac, not for the mails stored on the server.
    So, if it's IMAP accounts, it should not matter unless mails have been moved to mailboxes "On My Mac". Really careful with POP accounts if the mails in there matter!
    Anyway, at least archiving mails before deletion, or even better, a proper backup, is mandatory.

  • Need to delete an icloud account and change it to a new one on iphone

    I worked for a company and had an e-mail address and icloud saved the data under that account.   I cannot seem to delete that account from the phone and add the new account for the new e-mail address.   HELP!

    Not if you do it properly.  To migrate to a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • How do I delete an existing iCloud account and transfer everything to my new one?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts that now need extra storage... I only need 1 account. I ended up purchasing a plan for more storage on the 1st one and then my phone would no longer back up because it's running on the other account... Now it needs more storage!  Can you help me delete the one I don't use and make this all better?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
    You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
    Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
    Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
    You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
    As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

  • Deleted Microsoft Exchange iphone account and can't create a new one

    I was having problems with my Hotmail account and so deleted it with the intention of setting it up again. Now I am unable to add my account in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar and get the message "Account Already Exists. Only one Exchange ActiveSync account can be configured". But I don't have any other accounts. How can I get it to recognise that I have deleted the original account?
    Is there a way around this without resetting the phone?

    Try this, perhaps your exchange account was by profile:
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Go to General
    3. Go to Profile
    4. Click on the profile and then click on the Remove and you will get a warning. ALSO, BY REMOVING THIS PROFILE YOU WILL ALSO REMOVE THE CERTIFICATES and WIFI/VPN settings that the profile may also had included.

  • Hi, I have deleted my old apple ID as it was my old email address and replaced it with a new one but cant seem to make my Iphone and Ipad forget the old one and Icloud will not let me in. also when I try my old password or try and reset it it will not let

    I deleted/changed my old apple ID (from the apple webb site) and I have changed all my Apple products onto the new ID, but they all randomly ask for a password for the old ID (which now will not work and I can't change) the biggest problem is that my icloud account will not let me in to do anything.
    my knowledge of Apple is limited.

    We need to be clear here. Did you create a second ID, or just modify the single ID?

  • I connected my iphone to itunes, when it backed up it deleted my accounts and signed in with my brothers account. I dont know how to change the accounts because it says I need his password. Now all the contects of my phone are basically his.

    Help. I really don't know what to do. ANd now my itunes wont open.

    You had automatic sync turned on.  You should have had it turned off.
    You also should have been using a different user account on the computer than your brother's.
    Do you have an iCloud backup, or an iTunes backup on a different computer or user account on that computer?

  • I want to delete my current exchange account. How can I achieve this and not lose stored information such as contacts, photos etc. please help. Thank you.

    I want to delete my current exchange account and replace it with my new one. How can I achieve this and not lose my contacts, photos, etc associated with this account? Please help..
    Thank you,

    Bad idea.
    What information do you want to share, exactly?  You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account.  You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
    Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

    I can only find FF listed under 'Drives' in finder and am unable to delete it. I have downloaded FF 4.0.1 and it does not cancel out the current version I am running.

    Trash can sometimes fail to empty if a file that has been moved into the Trash is in use by another application.
    Restart your machine and try empty the Trash. It should work.
    If there are locked files, either you or another user has locked the file, to empty them from Trash the admin (or user) Password is usually prompted before allowing the locked file to be removed.

    No.  but you can sell it privately and use the proceeds towards a newer used model.

    iTunes content you purchase is tied to the Apple ID used to download it. You cannot update from a different Apple ID. Also, these are public forums and Apple isn't here, so you posted your password for all the world to see. I'll ask the moderators to remove it.
