Delete my iCloud account on old phone without affecting my iCloud account on my new phone

I've migrated my data and settings from my 4 to my 4s. The 4 tells me that if I delete my iCloud account it will update the Cloud and I will lose my Contacts and Photostream. What should I do? I want to purge this phone of all its data without losing my iCloud data on my new phone.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You will only remove the account and it's data from the device, it won't remove any data from the iCloud account itself.

How can I delete Apple ID from my old phone that it is not with me?

How can I delete Apple ID from my old phone?

You cannot delete Apple ID. You can change the password so the Apple ID without the correct password will be useless for others.
If you still have the old iPhone:
Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
If device is registered: Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Can I delete my iCloud and create a new one, but retain all my stuff?

So I can't remember the password/security questions to the current apple ID i'm using for my iCloud. It's an old email address that I don't use anymore. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to delete my icloud account then simply create a new account and have it sync all the stuff from my old account?

So there is absolutely no way to get rid of that @yahoo.com adress? Maybe remove the @me.com adress, and then create a new account? I want it to be a clean account, not a 2-level account, etc. Just the @me adress. It's possible since today i set up a Mac, and i created a "pure" iCloud adress. just the @me.com
Something like this:

Delete Apple Discussions account, make a new username?

I know there's no way to change a username, so:
How do I delete or disassociate from this Apple discussions username?
How do I create a new one with my existing Apple ID? (The ID is with my [email protected] account, but I also have a [email protected] address with it.)

Anyone?

Is there a way to delete a migrated account on my new puter?

The Apple store migrated my data to new MacBook Pro.
I am unable to change the password on my admin account (won't accept my password although the same account on the old puter accepts the password).
I want to delete what they migrated and try the migrate again.
Can I delete the accounts that were migrated?

Apple>System Preferences>Users and Groups ....
Delete the account using the minus sign at bottom left, make sure to get the account you intend to.

How do I access photos stored using Time Machine on a back up disk from an old Mac without importing the whole library to my new mac?

I just bought a MacBook Air and don't want to store all my photos on it. I'd like to be able to store and access them on a separate back up disk but iPhoto won't allow me to access these saying:
"The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library."
Can I use my back up disk to store my photos? If not, how do I get my photos from iPhoto onto my back up disk?
Would love any help!
Thanks in advance :-)

You need to first restore the Time Machine back up. This excuse a TM back up is condensed and fragmented and so it needs to be expanded and reassembled before iPhoto can understand it.
After that, moving the Library is simple:
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.

I purchased a new ipad3 and have gotten all of my previously purchase apps loaded. Can I now perform an erase and delete all data on the old ipad without doing harm to my itunes account and my new pad?

I just bought the new iPad over the weekend. Restored from the old iPad backup - got everything moved onto the new one gave the old one to my daughter - wiped my 4 email accounts off of the old device and then she proceeded to delete all but about 3 apps from the thing. It had no effect on my new iPad.
You are good to go!

Is it possible to view data backed up to iCloud (such as contacts from an old iPhone) without actually restoring the data to a device?

Can I view contacts backed up to the iCloud from my old iPhone without actually restoring the data on a new device?

If you have a backup, yes, You can restore the new device from the old backup. Without a backup, no.
Without a backup, and without the device, you no longer have any of your data to put on anything anymore.
You can redownload purchased content from the iTunes and App stores - just use the same AppleID as you did with the old device.

HT204053 i want to change an existing icloud account to a new icloud account?

I want to change an existing icloud account to a new icloud account

If you want to create a new iCloud account and migrate your data to the new account, you'll have to delete the existing account, create the new account with a new ID, and then migrate your data to the new account.
Before doing this, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account. The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days. When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

How can i delete the icloud account on my old phone without deleting it on my new one.

I now have an 5s and gave my mum my old 4s but when she deleted contact she didn't want, it removed them off my phone.When I logged into my icloud on the PC the contacts had all gone from there too. Luckily they are on my daughters mac.
If I delete the icloud on the 4s will it delete everything on mine and completely delete my icloud account alltogether? How can I remove this phone from my icloud ?

Deleting the account from one device will not affect the other at all.
