iOS 7 defaulting to old iCloud email address and I can not remove it or reset

It would appear there's a bug with the find my iPhone lock down functionality not picking up a change in primary iCloud email address managed to delete my old account and verify again but still having problems. iPhone is now a step further ahead than the iPad at least. Will post if I manage to get anywhere before 7.1 is released...

Yesterday I got the solution:

First accept the terms and conditions. (it will appear now, was a over helmet network problem).

Try as many times you can disable the "find my IPhone feature" yes with your current password.

You will see that now you are able to delete the Icloud.

Turn on again with the right e-mail.

* In my case I also didn’t access to my old e-mail.

Good Luck! I hope that’s could helps !!!

My solution has worked for a number of people now, your problem could be different.. also it seems that Apple changed something in the last 24 hours, it has been reported that the old email now accepts the new email password.

Alright I had the same problem and apple told me to call iTunes which would have taken days so I figured out a quick fix for mine at least. The problem was that my old email address was still being used as my Apple ID for iCloud and nothing else (iTunes, App Store, Game Center, etc.) So all I did was changed my Apple ID back to my old email address which allowed iCloud to verify it, after I received a confirmation email to my old email address. Then I was able to access all of the options that had been frozen under the iCloud settings menu because my verification had been pending but was now confirmed. From there, I switched everything to my new email address because I had gained access to the iCloud page to do so. To change your Apple ID just requires a couple security questions but is relatively quick and easy.

Best of luck!

Did you ever get a fix? I'm still stuck with my old, inactivated email as the icloud account on my ipad...I'm stuck!

Same problem-old inactivated email showing up on iphone5 for the cloud. iPad is fine. Called Apple who told me to reset the phone. Did it & it didn't work. Has anyone found another work around to fix this?

Woohoo, I just got mine sorted. Same problem as above, iCloud linked to old e-mail address and would not delete (iPhone 4 updated to ios 7 (7.0 11A465) on 22/9). First thing I did was slid the 'Find my iPhone' to off and entered my current password. This did turn it off. I then kept getting a message to sign in to iCloud which I ignorred (pressed cancel). Then was able to delete the account. Went back and signed in with current iTunes e-mail address and all sorted. Hope this helps!

HEY YO!

They finally fixed it. As Greg stated, you just need to put in your CURRENT password to your new email associated with iCloud. It finally accepted my new password and allowed me to delete the old email. I dunno about the process of order, but before I was just trying to delete the account and this time I slide the Turn off Find my Ipad slider and then it allowed me to delete it.

Hope this works for everyone else! Finally!

Thanks,

Thanks Greg and Sean. This worked for me on my 4s.

Had the same issue but my old email adress was disabled, luckely, it reffered to the same account as my current iCloud/Apple ID, so this is how I managed to fix it:

1. Deleted my device from my iCloud account @ www.icloud.com/find

2. Forced the iPhone to Recovery mode and restored with iTunes (latest version)

3. Started iPhone as "new phone" logged on to my iCloud with my current Apple ID

4. DONE!

Hope this helps...
