If I delete iCloud from the one device will it affect another device?

My mom had an iPhone 4, but she got an iPhone 5 now so she gave me her iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 still has iCloud connected to it so I want to delete it because I don't want her photos and messages. If I delete iCloud on the iPhone 4 I'm afraid I might erase everything on her phone since it is also connected to the same iCloud account.

I did it and it worked! Thank you so much!!! I appreciate it

    Yes you can sign out of iCloud and log in with a different account. (System Preferences > iCloud > Sign Out)

  • If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

    If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

    No. You can delete your iCloud account from your iPhone 4  and the information will remain in iCloud either through syncing or through a backup.or through both features.  Just make sure you have a recent backup.

  • Why when i copy paste documents from download to another folder,then i delete them from the downloads ,it will be erased at all?

    I dl a file it goes to my doenload folder,then i copy it to another folder for example document,then when i delete it from download it will erase at all? why?
    is it ok to have the file in both downloads and document? it will not be more size?

    If you copy it to another folder, e.g., Documents, and you can see it in the Downloads folder then you now have two copies of the file. If you delete one copy, the other stays intact. If you keep both, there is no harm, although the amount of disk space used is twice as big as when you only keep one copy.

    I Stupidly have one iCloud account but with two phones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the account from my husbands phone. He needs the account on his but I dont want it on mine!

    But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

  • If i delete an icloud account from my phone will it affect other devices with the same icloud account (apple id)?

    All that does is delete the iCloud account on your phone, nothing more.

  • TS4147 I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users.  We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

    I have 2 iphones on the same icloud for 2 different users.  We (the users) dont want identical contacts. How do I delete the contats from one phone without deleting them from the other phone.

    You can't; not if the phones are sharing the same iCloud account.  If you want to keep your data separate, migrate one of them to a different iCloud account.  (You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.)
    To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (this won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone, sign back in with a different Apple ID to set up a new account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, then choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.  You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from each account.
    Another option if you're only concerned about not sharing contacts but wish to share everything else, is to set up a second iCloud account on one of the phones and sync contacts with the secondary account.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off and choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with a different Apple ID to create the secondary account, and turn Contacts to On.  You can then go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's contacts from each account.

  • HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

    I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
    1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
    2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
    3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • We have 3 iPads 3 iPhones 3 Apple id's.  We want to use 1 calendar we can all access on each device and have each device update or sync and we all receive notifications from the one calendar. We do not want to share photos contacts, ect.  Please help

    We have 3 Apple Id's, each ID using an iPad and an iPhone (3 id's, 3 iPads, 3 iPhones). We want to use one calendar on all 6 devices and have that one calendar update or sync to all devices.  We would like all 6 devices to provide notifcations from the one unique calendar as well.  We do not want to share contacts, photos, ect.  Please suggest how to achieve this, with the name of the calendar, if I am to get one from the App store, and how to set this up.  Please talk in easy terms as I am technically Challenged. Thank you.  3 iPad air 2, 2 iPhone 6 plus, 1 iPhone 4s.

    Hello there MizzouTrojan,
    If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.” 
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only). 
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
    Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

    Hope this helps!

  • I would like to know how to DELETE icloud from my iMAC desk top. Would it automrically have synced with my wife's I pad, and other wireless devices, or is it all seperate

    Can anyone help me out ?
    I would like to get info on how to DELETE
    iCLOUD from my desk top MAC.
    Would it already have synced to the iPAD?
    Apple does not give any info on the iCLOUD,
    in a proper way to DELETE..for that matter,
    I can't even find "SETTINGS" on my Mac,
    let alone settings for iCLOUD.Any info
    would be better than what Apple gives up.
    Apple is useless when trying to get any information!

    You have to search with some patience and you will find all the informations on the Apple support pages and here in this forum.
    You find i Cloud in SAFARI at www.icloud.com and set as you like.
    Usually iCloud sincs all the devices which have the same AppleID.
    If you wish to use devices for different persons you need to give them different AplleID and on the MAC create different User Accounts. Each will be fully separate.
    Or you can go to settings (settings are to be found under the apple icon on top left of the screen) and from there open Sistem Preferences and iCloud.

  • How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

    How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?  I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library.  I can click on the Music link  under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not.  I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue.  This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.

    The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC.  These we had loaded into iTunes.  I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine.  The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync.  I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again.  64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

  • I changed my apple id from the one I used to originally sign up to iCloud and now cannot login to iCloud - do I need to change it back to access iCloud?

    I changed my apple id from the one I used to originally sign up to iCloud and now cannot login to iCloud - do I need to change it back to the original apple id in order to access iCloud?

    Gosh, this is full of great information and I need something a little bit deeper - and because I'm not a techy - can I explain...Apple ID changed a year ago from a work email to a personal email.  No longer have access to original email..... New email and Apple ID worked flawlessly until today - every 3 seconds Sign in to iCloud pops up.. with the old work email.  I enter the password - which is the same... and it says invalid. 
    I tried to delete the icloud, but you need the password and it says "find my phone" is on... i turn it off,  and it's the old email... and the password again doesn't work, of course. 
    I am left stratching my head... I sync my phone and my correct, up to date email is in the Apple ID sections...
    What am I doing wrong.. talk slow to me please, lol.

  • I have iTunes installed on a laptop that I use for work, but it's owned by my employer.  A new policy my have them deleting iTunes from the machine.  If that happens, will I lose all my music?  I am an iCloud user and pay for iTunes match.

    If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.
