Do I have an iCloud account?
Yes, by default you have an apple ID and account and you used it to setup your phone. You dont have to use it if you dont want to, for example you can backup everything in itunes etc. You can sign on at http://www.icloud.com and see what you have backed up if you use icloud. You use your same ID for find my iphone.
How do I get my iCloud account back?
Ok so here's the deal.. I recently upgraded my phone from an iPhone 4s to a 5s. I was able to sign in to my iCloud on my 5s and everything was going fine. I deleted all of the content on the 4s because I was going to give it to my sister. Well, when I gave her the phone, she was in the process of programming the phone and when the iCloud step came up, my email was still attached. So it made me sign in to the 4s phone, so I did. Well, it asked for a new iCloud account and that was when she created her own. However, I began to get notifications on my 5s saying that her number was now linked to mine and after she had got done the programming process on the 4s, it synced all of my pictures and contacts to her phone. So we decided to restore it again and start all over. So after we started over, I noticed that my iCloud account was deleted. I called apple for assistance, however they were absolutely NO help. So I ended up losing all of my pictures, contacts, games, and iCloud/Apple account. Well my biggest problem with me losing my iCloud account was that my phone and laptop was synced to the "Find my iPhone" account and I was not able to use iCloud anymore. I was forced to create a brand new iCloud account. Is there anyway I can get my old iCloud account back? Or is it too late? This is very important!! Someone HELP ME PLEASE!!

IPhone 5 locked to iCloud account?
I found an AT&T iPhone 5 in the street last week. Before inquiring about it, i stupidly restored the phone & now it's stuck on the activation lock screen asking for the previous owner's iCloud email & password. Considering there is no way around the activation lock right now, i was wondering what my alternative options are, or if anyone can give me some info. Also, please keep your "try to find the owner of the phone" , "you're a bad person" comments off this topic, not tryna hear all that lol. I'm not sure which one of these is the correct one, but i heard that my only option would be to swap out either the logic board or the motherboard with a new one that isn't locked to an iCloud account. Also, if i do end up doing that. Like i said the phone is AT&T. I wanna use the phone for TMobile. If i swap for a new logic/mother board, could i get one from a TMobile iPhone 5 & be able to use the phone for TMobile, or would i have to get a usable AT&T one & then get the phone unlocked? So basically to sum up what i just said. I have an AT&T iPhone 5 locked to iCloud. I wanna know if i have to swap the logic board or motherboard to make it work. Which specific one i have to get. & if i would be able to get a TMobile logic/mother board to make the phone work for TMobile or if i have to get the correct one for the AT&T phone & then get it unlocked to use it for TMobile. Any help is appreciated!
Can I find my IMEI number of my lost iPhone using my iCloud account?
Thanks for the A2A.You may be able to find part or all of it by signing into iCloud on a web browser with your Apple ID and going to Settings. Works for devices running OS X Yosemite or iOS 8.0 and up.Otherwise, check if you had any backups to iTunes on a computer. In the Preferences > Devices menu, you can see your backups. Highlight one and hover your mouse over it, and it will give you various device info, including S/N and IMEI.Otherwise, check supportprofile.apple.com - if you registered the device with your Apple ID, it will be there, and if I recall correctly that displays the serial.Else check with your mobile carrier.
What happens when I delete an iCloud account from my iPhone?
No. Well that depends. Any personal information the cloud will keep but documents&data and photostream photos will be removed from the phone and you can apt to keep or delete content on the phone if you sign out of icloud on the phone. In fact it asks you twice to make sure if you want to keep or delete. Any content on the cloud remains on the cloud after signing a phone off. The only way to remove it would be to have a signed in device delete it off of there device or you go to icloud.com and remove it manually. If you're worried about privacy you should also sign out of messages and facetime and use your own Apple ID.
