Delete iCloud from 4S phone

The iCloud on my 4S is frozen, my fault because I put in an invalid e-mail address so it keeps trying to connect and the Login box pops up every two seconds. I can't delete iCloud from phone because it's frozen and I don't have a password related to the e-mail address since it's an invalid e-mail. Is there a way to delete my iCloud account from my phone without completely restoring it?

As a follow-up, I can't restore the phone because I have to turn off "Find My Phone" before I can restore and I can't turn it off because I can't get to it because iCloud is frozen.

    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.

  • My email account was hacked so I had to change the accoun I neMy email ed to change my iCloud account from my old email to my new email on my iPhone but i cannot access my old account. I can't delete iCloud from my phone because i don't have the password.

    I am trying to change my icloud account information on my iphone.  I tried deleting the old account but couldnt because i dont have the password for the old account.  My previous Apple ID account email address was hacked and they changed my password.  I went to iForgot but they cant send the password to me via email because that account is disabled.  I cant go through the security questions becuase whoever hacked my email changed my account info too.  I dont know what to do.

  • Akkkk.... deleted icloud from my phone and now my contacts are gone?

    I put icloud on my cell.  got an email that said it was getting full, even though i don't really use it.  so.. I deleted it and now... all my contacts have vanished.. what?  are they really gone?

    Welcome to the community.
    No, your contacts and calendars etc are not completely gone, they are still stored in your iCloud account. To put them back on your device, you need to log back into your iCloud account.

  • I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. I Do Not want to Loose any photos or albums by deleting them from my phone and not backing them up correctly. My iCloud backup is only storing my "Photo Stream" and I can not locate them in iTunes after I sync/Back up.

    I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. My storage is almost full on my phone. There are only 80 mg available. I am new to icloud and also have always had trouble navigating around iTunes. (Even after endlessly reading through support and help topics as well as calling)   My concern is about Not Losing any of my photos if I delete them from my phone. I have to delete a large portion of my camera roll as well as the Album Folders I have created. Although it would be great if there was a way to just keep my albums still. I have already backed them up to an external hard-drive, my computer and a geek stick. I'm not trying to be too paranoid about these photos, but, they are all of my 3 children. There are over 4000 pictures stored on my phone. Some photos go back as far as 2009.   Can you offer any information about backing up my Camera Roll, not just "Photo Stream", and albums I've created On my phone? I read that it's good to back photos up on both iTunes as well as icloud. I even purchased extra icloud storage to back them all up.   I do regularly back up/sync, my phone to my computers.   However, I cannot even locate where they are stored on iTunes, let alone look at them. And as far as my iCloud backup, it only stores the new pictures from "Photo Stream".   Please offer any advice you may have. I do not use up a lot of storage on my phone other than Photos and Contacts (it's a work phone).   I would definitely be able to sleep better knowing my children can one day see these pictures of themselves. I appreciate your time. Thank you,

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?

  • With iOS 8, how do I delete photos from my phone BUT still have them in my iCloud and view them from my phone?

    Hello all!
    Before iOS 8, we had two separate photo albums - Photo Stream (for iCloud) and Camera Roll (for photos on your iPhone).
    When you took a photo, the photo went into both albums. This was handy, as when i found my memory running low, I could delete photos from my Camera Roll, yet they will still be on my Photo Stream.
    However, with the iOS 8 update, apparently they thought this was too confusing for everyone and therefore have merged it all into the collections/moments photo viewer.
    So, my question is, is there a way that I can delete photos from my phone without deleting them from my iCloud, seeing as they are merged into one?
    Thanks!

    The easiest way I find to remove a few songs for the nano is to go into Ipod preferences and select "only sync checked songs" and the uncheck songs you don't want. You could only sync certain playlists but that takes some work setting up. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
    Or you could just use manual sync which is more of a pain to be able to control everything that goes on or off your ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

  • Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded my 3000  photos. I now want to delete them from my phone. Can I still access them from the cloud of I do? If so how? Thank you in advance.m

    Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded 3000+ photos.  Can I safely delete them from my phone and still access them from the cloud? Thank you

    Hey linsfrombrandon,
    The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

    Hi iprover,
      Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
    Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
    This is what I gather.
    iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
    This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
    My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
    That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
    All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

  • I ran out of space on my icloud so my phone could no longer back up. I have now deleted lots from my phone, how can I get icloud to recognize this so it will complete a back up?

    A. Have you gone in to 'manage your iCloud?', and have you rebooted your iPhone. I think the idea is to delete yor previous backups and start with a new one.

  • HT6378 How can I delete photos from my phone and keep them on Icloud?

    I want to make room for more photos on my phone without loosing the photos

    Use services like dropbox, Google drive or One Drive to back up your pictures and then delete it from your phone or save it to your computer.
    You cant do it with icloud because, its like a sync service. if you delete it from your phone, it'll be deleted from icloud too..

  • HT5637 i am up to capacity on my iphone and i know it is because of my music but my music is in icloud so how do i delete it from the phone so i have more storage room?

    I am up to capacity in the storage on my iphone and I am sure it is because I have so much music on the phone but I have the music in icloud.  How do I delete it from my phone and once I do that, how do I retrieve it from icloud.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • I need to know how to delete apps from my phone permanently because in order to update some of them i need a friends appleid pw because it was at one point synced with his apple id. these apps wont update unless i can delete them and DL under my apple ID.

    Okay, so this is a little more information on my problem. When i first got my iphone i didnt have a computer of my own. So i synced it to my friends computer under his apple id. well then later down the road i got a mac of my own and was able to sync it to that. well some of my apps (facebook, snapchat, instagram, and google) backed up to his id. Now none of those applications will update if i dont have the password for his apple id. What i would like to accomplish is to delete them from my phone and such completely, or just unattach them from his icloud/apple id so that i can re download them under my own account. at this point everytime i try to delete them from my phone and go into the app store to download them again, it only gives me the option to redownload them from the cloud. i do not want to do this. because that means the app still wont be up to date and it will still be associated with said friends apple id. is there anyone who can guide me through this issue?

    In this case if you download it from his account, you will need to deleted and download it again by your account
    also delete your backup from iTunes after you delete all the apps/games that you download it from your friend account
    so in the next time you try to restore your backup, you will not face the same problem

  • All my contact are being copied to my friend's iphone and i also am getting his contacts on my phone,when i delete a contact it also deletes it from his phone,we are sharing the same apple ID. How can i stop our contacts from being shared between us

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud
