I want to link my Gmail account, but I still want the option to log out...

Can I do that on the iPhone 4? I like the convenience of having my email account on my phone, but I don't like that I'm ALWAYS logged in. I'd like to log out from time to time just because of in case my phone is stolen or lost, I don't want someone to compromise that account... Even if a phone has passcode lock, it can still be hacked in.

iCloud have own domain and any mail address will be end up @me.com or @icloud.com
You can set up GMAIL separately on any iOS device (including push notification)

I want to delete my icloud account but i dont want to lose my contacts. how do i keep my contacts if i dont want icloud on my iphone anymore

please help now my brothers contacts has all of my contacts

First, turn off using iCloud for your contacts. Go to:
Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> (your iCloud account)
Switch "Contacts" to OFF.
You should get a dialog box asking you if you want to keep the contacts on the phone or not -- choose the option to keep them.
Now you can delete the iCloud account but retain the contact information.

Until now, my daughter has used my apple ID and account. She now wants her own iD and account but doesn't want to lose her downloads - is this possible and how?

What we want to do is retain each of our respective downloads whilst allowing for a future separation of the account. She has an iPod touch and I have an iPad. Currently she uses my account but wants her own and frankly I don't want many of her downloads. How do we separate?

Starting a new account does not erase anything.
There is no such thing as "separating" content. Give her a copy of the entire library, and let her delete whatever she does not want. Meanwhile, you can delete any of her stuff from your original library.

I want to close one email account but don't want to loose my address book. I already have the new account installed and the address book shows up in it.

If I delete my Roadrunner account in Thunderbird will it affect the address book that shows up in my new ATT email account?

The address book is the Thunderbird address book, not roadrunner or comcast etc, the same address book services all account in Thunderbird.
SO go ahead.
But remember that if you have mail in a RoadRunner account folder in the folder pane that the folder will go with the account. All mail in the accounts folders inbox send etc needs to be moved to local folders before you delete the account.

Mail on my iPhone and iPad no longer works on wifi. If I turn wifi off I can connect over the cellular network. I have tried deleting my AOL account and setting it up again as a new account but I still have the same problem.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

When trying to access music stored on my icloud i get the following warning 'This computer is already associated with an Apple ID'. itunes support say they have 'released' all devices associated with my account but i still have the same problem-any ideas?

cant access music sored in my icloud when using my lap top. any ideas?

iTunes imposes a 90 day wait period before a device can be associated with a different ID. If iTunes support only removed all devices associated with your ID, this does not override the 90-day wait period. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627:
"Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID."
Unless iTune support can override the wait period for you, you have no choice but to wait if you want to download it from iCloud. If your purchases music is on any of your iOS deivces, you can transfer it to the iTunes library on your computer by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting your device to your computer, opening iTunes, and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

I go to Gmail to do my email yes, in my browser, but ya know how sometimes you click on a website to email someone and it pulls up apple mail, and then tons of email dump into apple mail and it frequently causes my computer to lock up and have to shut down w/escape. I thought it would be better to take it off if I could

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

"I want to transfer my music to a new account"
You cannot.

Authorize your computer for your Dads account as well as for yours. That's it
Put the music on your computer
