TS4006 If I delete an apple account from an iPhone, can that account still be used on another device?
If I delete an iCloud account from my iPhone, will I still be able to use that account on another device?
Yes. It only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud. Other devices can still use the account without any issues.

How can I delete an iTunes account from my iPhone so it's no longer associated with my device?
If you mean that it has the 90 day association : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
then you can either wait for the 90 days to complete, or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -

I can't sign-in to my iCould account from my iPhone. The account is linked to an old email address that is closed and i cant access anymore. So that means that I can't reset the password! However, I can access my iCould account from the website.
I need help !Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How Do I Delete My Old Apple ID From My iPhone When That ID No Longer Exists?
I moved, and cancled my internet provider, losing that associated email (email #1). It was the same email I used for my Apple ID. At some point in the unknown past, the only other email adress I have (email #2) was also signed up for a speerate Apple ID
I spoke to Apple on the phone, they walked me through changing my Apple ID from email #1 to email #2 and deleting any record of email #1. All worked fine.
But now, my iPhone can't do anything iCloud related because it's looking for my original Apple ID with email #1. I can't download apps, I can't download podcasts and most frustrating, I can not DELETE the old Apple ID without a password, which I've tried but am told it doesn't like it - probabbly because that email doesn't exist in the first place.
So, can I do anything before getting back on the phone with Apple?With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.
They should have done this.

Help Please, I sold my iphone 4 to my neighbor after I restored it to factory settings. I just bought a new iphone 5 and decided to check out the icloud "stuff' so that I can use 'find my iphone' because I have 2 kids. I went to check out my icloud on my imac and in the address bar put icloud.com then signed in, double clicked on mail went accounts then clicked on the gear in the right hand corner and there it was. My neighbor had his email in the icloud and there absolutely was no way to delete his info off of my new phone. I guess once the first person enters their info you absolutely cant get rid of it. you can get rid of aliases but just not the original one. WHY!! Is there any brilliant, wonderful,generous person out there that would know how to delete him from my account. The genius bar said that they've never seen this before. If someone can help I'm taking the info to the apple stores that I went to so that I can teach them how to do it. Of course, I will tell them who showed me. I give you my word.
As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you. -
How do I delete an Apple iD from my iPhone?
i used to share an iTunes account with my Dad, until recently. I got my own Apple iD. Everything has been working relatively well except for one thing. When I try to update apps, it still asks me for my Dad's iTunes password, instead of mine. I already tried entering my Dad's Apple iD in iCloud, and deleting his account from my phone, but every time i want to update an app, it still asks for his password!! Please help!
Hi margauxhapgood,
The reason it is asking for the password to your Dad's ID is because those apps were purchased under that ID. iTunes purchases are forever tied to the ID under which they were purchased. So, you have two options. Type in your Dad's password when you need to update those apps, or delete them from your device and re-purchase them under your own ID.
Cheers,

HT1386 Can I delete an Apple ID from my iPhone and use another one instead?
I have used a family member's Apple ID and now I have my own and would like to sync my iPhone with my new ID. Can I do that and keep the apps I have already downloaded? They are all free apps but I can get them again if needed. I just need to know how to get the new ID on my phone.
Thanks!You will keep the Apps you have, but you will not be able to update them unless you sign back into that Apple ID.
Go into Settings > Store, at the bottom select your Apple ID, sign out, and sign in with the new one. -
Is there anyway to do this? I have not connected my iPhone to my computer since I deleted the messages. I heard that when you swipe to delete something off your Iphone it actually juest becoems hidden and is noted to be deleted when you connect it back to your computer, so I havent connected it. And i havent backed my iphone to the cloud in a long time. I need HELP!
The only way to recover any text msg is if you backed up to itunes on computer and you would need to restore from that backup. No text msg will be hidden and only deleted. Good Luck

I'm trying to reset my iPhone 5 back to factory settings and I don't have access to a computer with iTunes. If I set the phone to erase all data after 10 attempts can I still use the phone but under a different icloud account?
I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

If I delete the iCloud account from an iPhone am I deleting permanently or only on the device?
I am using my mum's old iPhone with her iCloud account. if I delete it from there am I deleting permanently or only on the device?
I would also like to know the same thing, but according to a post i have about my stolen iphone the responder said you can't delete an icloud account and it will always be in the icloud. below is the answer I recieved about still being able to sign into my icloud account after my phone has been stolen three months later(cause I was led to believe your credentials leave your phone after it is wiped by a thief, therefore one would think you couldn't sign in anymore and still try to track your phone although says constantly offline) but gathering from what this person has said to me it sounds like your just deleting it from the device. I don't know if this answer helps you, but i hope it does
Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored. (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.) If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.
