TS5223 How to delete or remove iCloud without password?

I bought used Iphone 5s and now I cant delete the previous Icloud acount! unless I have password! any solution? thx

You can't.  The previous owner either has to give you the ID and password, or erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

  • How can I disconnect from iCloud without password.

    Hi,
          I have lost my Apple ID password, So I have lost my iCloud password too. I am unable to login on iCloud service. I was unable to Off option "Find my iPhone"
    I tried everything but nothing is happen, i cant logout from iCloud, The mail ID which registered with apple that is also blocked. So nothing is option balance, then I reset device to Factory Restore option. But now again iPhone is asking the same icloud account and password. Now this iPhone is useless.
          Actually one of my colleague bought this iPhone 4 from second hand market one year back, he took the same apple ID what seller has given him and he is using it since 1 year, Now that guy may change his password and this guy is unable to use appstore. To put new ID we need to log out from old ID and to log out from old ID phone is asking password, so there is the problem started.
       Can anyone help me to log out from iCloud without password, please...
    Thanks
    Pramod

    From what you say the phone has been 'Activation Locked' by a previous owner - who presumably either sold it to the second-hand market or had it stolen and it landed up there.
    If this is the case, only the person who set the lock can unlock it. If you can't get hold of them to do this then the phone is permanently unusable.
    Even if you had set up a new Apple ID and logged into that the Activation Lock would have kicked in when you reset or updated the phone.

  • How do you delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having them deleted from devices?

    I need to delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having those files deleted from all my devices.  How do I do that?

    Just got off the phone with Apple customer service.  It seems there is no around this problem.  Once you use iCloud, you're screwed. The day you decide you don't want to have certain files store in iCloud, but you still want the files accessible on your computer, you have to spend valuable time copying/hiding a set of files on each device, and then re-setting up those same files in each device they way they should be once you delete them out of iCloud.  Same thing if you decide to cancel your lCloud account. 
    No software should have the ability to hijack your data this way.

  • How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?

    How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?
    When I try to sign out Icloud I get the warning (( If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in Icloud will be removed from this Mac))
    I don,t want to remove my document on my computer, what should I do? 

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.

  • How to delete all previous icloud data from current icloud after sighning in with the current icloud account

    so i sighned into someone elses device with the current icloud account and i sighned out. Some of the icloud data from the other device is now on mine. All i want to know is how to delete all the icloud data in my current icloud account from the other icloud account

    Hello ,
    I had the same problem and i have done everything manually.
    It's a shame that Apple doesn't put a "Reset to factory Settings" button or simply "Delete all data from iCloud.com". That way, it would be much simpler for everyone including myself.
    Winston Churchill is right unfortunately . Happy deleting !
    Kind Regards,

    how you delete song in icloud?

    Im not sure what I swipe.  There were songs on my iPhone and iPod that I wanted to delete.  I deleted them out of my computer and then Sync it with the Ipod and Iphone.  There was one song that I downloaded for Free on ITunes and it will not delete out on my iPhone,  Its driving me craaaazzzy.  I figured that the song was backed up in my iCloud account and that is why it was still appearing on my Iphone.  Life is not simple.

  • How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's Imac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!

    How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!  I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one.  I tried his security questions to no avail.
    Thanks

    Since that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will  need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

  • How to delete an old Icloud account without the password??

    I have three devices, iphone 5, 4 and IPAD.  I recently changed my appleID,  and all three devices have the same apple ID (I logged into apple using an apple ID and revised the apple ID and updated my password).  The problem is that the icloud account will not display my new appleID, only the old appleID, the appleID displayed  can’t be selected or edited.  1) The devices will not let me delete the account(s) without entering  a  password, but my apple ID password is associated with new appleID, not the old one. Question: How can an old login be removed, deleted or revised from Icloud when it no longer exist??

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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).  Repeat this on your other devices.  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.
