Unable to delete icloud account from device after Apple ID change

I recently changed my apple ID from my corporate account to a personal address but forgot to log out of icloud on my ipad.  The icloud account on the device is still linked to the old apple id and so cannot delete it as unable to authenticate.
I am unable to use the work around of changing my apple id back to the original address as it not longer exists (left the company)
I am also unable to reset my ipad entirely (as I did to resolve the issue on one of my iphones) as it also still tries to authenticate against the original Apple ID.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I know to Id.  To clarify
My old Apple ID was myname@workemail
I changed the account to have the Apple ID myname@personal email.
To change the Apple ID back to myname@workemail the email address needs to be valid?
The email account address myname@workemail is no longer valid so if I need to verify it I can't.  If I don't need to use a valid email address as my Apple ID it resolves the problem. (On iOS 7.0.4)
Thanks!

  • If I delete iCloud account from iPad will it still keep account to LATER be used on another IOS device?

    my son has given his old iPad to my wife. if I delete his iCloud account from her iPad. Can he later, in a month, use that account on a new iPad. Or does the data in the cloud disappear if it is not linked/synced with a device?

    Deleting the account from a device does not delete the account or its contents. He will be able to use it later.

  • Tried to delete iCloud account from my iPad but won't delete

    I have an old iCloud account - apple id [email protected] (can't access, can't delete from iPad).  Don't know password, associated email or answer to secret question.  It is making my iPad very difficult to use by constantly asking for iCloud password.  Followed the steps to delete iCloud account and it asks for a password which I no longer have.

  • How to delete iCloud account from iPad with ios8

    I have an iPad that is used for work. The person I relieved has their iCloud account attached to it. They have the password and signed in but there is no longer a "delete account" button. I don't want to delete it through "find my iPhone" because we don't want to erase the ipad. so how do I get rid of his and replace it with mine?
    Thanks.

    there should be a sign out button where the delete account button is. it serves the same function.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    Please help me

    You can't. You'll have to contact the previous owner to have them do it or give you their credentials. If you cannot contact them or they are unwilling to provide you with that info, then you are out of luck.

  • Unable to login to iTunes (from appleTV) after apple ID two step verification enabled

    I recently enabled two step verification for appleID. Now when I attempt to use that appleID with my appleTV, I am unable to login to iTunes.  Should I not have enabled two step verification ?  Do I need to revert back to user name / password only for my appleID, which I use in conjunction with my appleTV ?
    help
    brianb

    dis-regard this problem. I was able to regain normal operation, once I reset my appleTV, and re-configured it using my current appleID. It is rather odd though that I need to re-set my appleTV each time I change my appleID.

  • TS3988 trying to get a icloud account but it keeps saying too many free accounts on my phone, how do i delete icloud accounts?

    hi how do i delete icloud account from my iphone 4 as i want my own account but its just telling me there is too many free accounts registered to my phone

    You can set up a maximum of 3 accounts with any device.  After that all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts already created or set up a new one using another iOS device or Mac running OS X 10.7.4 or later, if you have one.  (You can't delete iCloud accounts.)

  • How do I get to my backup on icloud after i deleted the account from my iphone?

    So I couldn't log into my icloud account. It told me the password was incorrect even though I knew it wasn't. So I deleted the account and started a new one. That is when i realized my contacts has been erased. I did a back up with the old icloud account and read somewhere that I can log into that account on the computer even though I deleted the account from the phone. Unfortunately, It still says the password is incorrect and to reset the password, I need to access that email address. Does anyone know how to get my contacts back. I also heard that some people, after updating their iOS to the newest version lost their contacts so it may have been that. Either way I do not want to manually add over 200 contacts back to my phone so someone pleeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeee help!!!!

    Make sure there is a backup from yesterday.
    First, make sure you have WiFi access.
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
    As long as iCloud backup is toggled "On'" you should see the date/time of the most recent backup.
    If all is good, got to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.
    You'll be able to begin configuring the device the same way that you did on day one.  At approximately the fourth step, make sure to select "Restore from iCloud Backup."

  • 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.
