Wrong eMail used during iCloud setup.

Ok, i'm really hoping someone can help me here.
I will try my best to descibe the problem and hope ye understand.
I wasn't there at the time so I can only go by what he said and guess the rest of it.
My Nephew got a 2nd hand iPhone4s and while he was setting it up it asked for an apple ID to set up his iCloud account etc.
He wreckons he put in his apple ID and password (we'll call this [email protected]) but it kept saying email/appleid already in use.
Now, in his eagerness to start using the phone, I believe he must of then started to use (or may have already been using) the create a new Apple ID option.
So when signing up he kept it close to his original Apple iD email and used (we'll call this [email protected]) and also entered a password.
Heres where the fun begins the new email ([email protected]) was not a functioning email address, and of course he has forgotten what password he used.
Now we can't delete the account or reset the iPhone because he can't remember the password and I can't reset the password either because I haven't a clue what email (if any) he used.
So as you can imagine, a bit like this thread, I'm going around in circles with no luck.
So if you understand any of what I have just written.....Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Go to http://iforgot.apple.com - I understand you don't know the email, but it may present you with the option to answer security questions instead.

Deleted email history during iCloud management

On one computer only, I've accidentally deleted the email history during an attempt to setup and manage an iCloud account. All that remains are a bunch of Apple and iTunes messages, plus a very few others, ranging back a few years.
Other computers don't have the problem, so I know those emails are out there, somewhere.
What's a good way to get them back, or connect to them in Apple Mail?

On a computer that has the e-mails, Mail/Mailbox/Export Mailbox. Copy the export to the computer lacking the e-mails, then Mail/File/Import Mailboxes.

Wrong email address in iCloud but I can't access

The carrier who we bought my daughter's iPhone from put in the wrong email for iCloud. Now, because the email is misspelled, I can't get in to change it on her phone. It's stating iCloud Drive is updating but because I can't log into it, it won't change and everything is faded and gray, not allowing me access to ANYTHING! For the money we paid for this phone, I'm pretty ticked that I can't get it fixed. When I contacted the phone company, they told me I had to contact Apple, they couldn't help me. Which makes me mad because they are the ones who screwed this up! How can I fix this?

My awesome student at the high school I work at fixed it!! YAY to the younger generation! Thank you!

Apple TV2 (OK, I) Incorrectly ID'd Wrong Email Add as iCloud

I wanted to access Photostream on Apple TV. The Apple TV assumed that the email address that I use for my ITunes ID would be my iCloud ID so it diplayed that and before i could think I'd clicked. Now Apple TV (and Apple) thinks I have another iCloud account, which i have NOT set up.
Is there a way to undo this so I can associate my actual iCloud account?

Sorry, Figured it out myself. Turn off Photstream in Apple TV, go back in a few minutes and it asks if you want to turn it on or use another ID.

UNKNOWN ERROR on email tab during Sync Setup

Hello, I am trying to get Firefox on my iPad and in order to do this I need to set up a sync account but can not get passed even the first step. When the window tries to verify my email it reads: Unknown Error. I've tried various emails, capitalizing, not capitalizing etc. different browsers, different computers (Mac & PC). What is the deal?

Hi gunjaBeans,
Unfortunately, we have no plans to release the full Firefox browser for iOS (iPhone and iPad). This is because of restrictions set by Apple on how the browsers should run JavaScript.
However, you can use the following application to sync your Firefox bookmarks to your iPhone and iPad. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmarks-on-the-go/id550037184
For general info on Firefox Sync (including troubleshooting steps) read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-sync-take-your-bookmarks-and-tabs-with-you
Thanks!

ICloud on Macbook Pro has wrong email...

I installed OS X Yosemite and when it restarted it connected the wrong email to my iCloud, my current apple ID will not work with the email it has saved for my iCloud. I have gone through preferences under iCloud and get no where, I tried changing/updating through another restart but it automatically inputs an old email address I do not use. Cannot connect to the cloud with my macbook but can through my iPhone and iPad. Help?

Thanks! I was so busy trying to correct through the iCloud screen with the profile that was already inserted, I didn't think to logout again and put the correct profile.

I insert a wrong email..what can I do to change ??

I insert a wrong email in my icloud..what can I do to insert a correct mail?

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
