Can't turn off iCloud and F'd up my Calendar

I have an iPhone with my Work calendar Synced with my work computer (outlook Calendar). Also, I have iMac 27" i5 with my Home calendar (iCal).   This has worked fine and separetly for the last 3years.  My home calenders allow me to organise my life with payments and is very important. My work calendar, well that speaks for it's self.
I install iOS5 on iPhone and Lion on the iMac which unbekownence to me have iCloud syncing on and doing stuff that has totally corupted my iMac Home Calendar.
My home calendar has my work calander mixed in with my home calendar and reminders popup every few minutes that I have already dissmissed.  They won't stop popping up.  The same one over and over and they go back a month or more.
Additionally, when I try to add an event it sometimes puts it in very day instead of a monthly re-ocurring event and then it won't delete the event when I try to fix it. 
I've tried to turn off iCloud, and it does all the right things and appears to turn off but then when I go back in it is on again.
The Work Calendar (Windows 7 Office 2010) doesn't show any symptoms and has kept working as it should on my work computer as on the iPhone. Neither appear to be effected
I've tried all the delete files and reinsralls but iCal seems to just get more confused. It renames calendars and is totally out of control to the point of no return.
I can't find any where which shows how to delete iCal and do a fresh install of iCal and not have iCloud sync.   I have searched Google for months and months with no joy.
What I need is to stop iCloud and **** it off permently as it appears to be a problem for how I use my apps.  I do not want to use iCloud for calander or anything just yet.   I need to get my original .ics backup in iCal that I have and working on it's own and with out the cloud or syncing.
Help anyone ... 
P.S.   I have only one profile, Admin.
          I've tried another profile and it replicates and operated worse than the Admin account with iCal.
          Also I have time machine back to August 2011.  I've tried all the Google fixes and none have worked

Hmmm!
Sorry for taking so long to get back.  But the thing was none of the instruction where able to get the iCloud turned off. If anything it is for someone who moves between the Local and the iCloud than turnng off iCloud.
I want to turn off iCloud syncing in my System Preference and iCal.  iCal is syncing with iCloud and I do not want that.  My iPhone is syncing with iCloud and I don't want that either. I never enabled these options and had to find out where they were before I could even start trying to turning them off.
My iPads do not I’m unsure why
Is it possible to un-sync and turn off all iCloud activities on my iMac with Lion 10.7.3?   
I think I made up a word (Un-Sync) to re-turn back to the original state before the first sync

  • Can i turn off icloud and get my contacts back?

    just upgraded the operating system, and inadvertantly selected icloud.  dont want it.  all my contacts are gone from my phone.  Can I turn it off, and get them back?

    Unfortunately, no.  This only stops your contacts syncing with iCloud; it won't restore them to your phone if they're gone.  Unless you backed them up somewhere, you'll have to recreate them.

  • 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.

  • Restoring from iCloud - when can I turn off iCloud from old phone?

    Hi - I upgraded from 4S to 6 and I'm restoring from iCloud backup - it's taking a while to download all the apps and photos as I expected.  While it's downloading/restoring from iCloud can I turn off iCloud service from the old 4S or do I have to wait until it's complete on the 6?

    No.  When you turn it off it removes your existing backup.  You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

  • Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

    I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate.
    How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!?
    Thanks
    Tim

    Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
    In response to the original problem:
    I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
    tell application "Contacts"
              set thePeople to selection
              repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                        set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                        if theDate is not missing value then
                                  set the year of theDate to 1604
                                  set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                        end if
              end repeat
    end tell
    copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

  • HT1414 My iPad went dead and now I can't turn off iCloud to do a restore. Any advice?

    My iPad just stopped working. I tried to follow the directions to restore it to factory settings, but it is asking me to turn off iCloud first. I can't do that since all I have is a black screen. I had 50% battery, so it's not a charging issue. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Follow these instructions and place the iPad in recovery mode and restore via iTune

    I am having same issue on my iPhone 5s. Whenever i am trying login to iCloud from my device setting it's asking for apple id password & every time showing incorrect password verification failed but in fact the password is correct.
    When trying to restore my iPhone from my PC iTunes backup it's asking to turn off Find my iPhone from the device iCloud setting.

  • HT5834 can't turn off iCloud keychain on apple devices and can't get them to sync !

    i could gey my apple devices to sync icloud keychains , nor could i get them to turn off icloud key chain.
    Solution: Reset icloud keycahin using forgot passcode option, it will reset the entire icloud keycahin and bring every thing back to the way it is supposed to be. approve all the devices using the one used to reset, and you are all good to go !!

    You're my best friend.  Seriously.  I've read virtually every thread I could find on this issue, and this is the only thing that worked.  Has been driving me bonkers since getting the iPhone 6 in September.  THANK YOU!!

  • Can I turn off iCloud backup and keep my old backup?

    Basically I am sick of being asked for money for more storage space. I cannot seem to get my iPhone backup under the 5gb free space, so the only option I see is to turn off iCloud backup. Can I do this without deleting the old (original) backup?

    No.  When you turn it off it removes your existing backup.  You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

  • Can't turn off iCloud in iTunes on MacBook running 10.6.8

    I can't turn off my wifes iCloud in iTunes on her MacBook that is running 10.6.8. I have read that that way to tun this off is to go to the iCloud icon but this isn't available on 10.6.8. So how do I fix this issue? She can only get access to 50 songs and not her whole library.

    Your question makes no sense, given the issue you describe.
    But iTunes cloud function is under the iTunes menu >> preferences >> store.
    If you mean iTunes match, that's under the store menu.

  • Can you turn off iCloud Drive without losing data?

    I enabled iCloud drive but then discovered through some articles that one should not enable iCloud Drive until Yosemite comes out and all of one's devices are running iOS8 and Yosemite on their computes.  Since enabling iCloud Drive I am missing Photostream and Pages docs that I had on my phone and god knows what else. When I went to try and turn off iCloud Drive (so I can then wait until Yosemite comes out before I re-enable iCloud Drive), I get the following message:
    "Are you sure you want to turn off iCloud Drive? Some changes have not been uploaded to iCloud. If you turn off iCloud Drive, these changes will be lost." Immediately below that message is a red message that says "Delete from iPhone."
    What exactly would be deleted from my phone if I turn off iCloud Drive?  What changes does the message refer to?  Why can't I just return my phone from iCloud Drive to the regular Cloud so I can access my Photostream and my Pages data?  And why on earth did Apple not alert us to the issues we would face with iOS8 if we install BEFORE Yosemite comes out?  This is so frustrating!
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Teresa

    I would love to hear that Apple has remedied this problem. From other discussion strings that I am following related to this issue, it seems thus far we remain out of luck. I did discover that if I log onto iCloud.com I can access my files that way.  Still, what a pain. 
    When I got the message re iCloud Drive as I was setting up my phone after the update to iOS8, it said I wouldn't be able to access my files unless all of my devices were running iOS8 OR Yosemite. That message was misleading as it really should have said all devices need to be running iOS8 AND your mac needs to be running Yosemite, as it was not an "either or" situation.  So frustrating...
