Deleting iCloud content

I have an iPhone 4gs which I use for my main business, I have just bought a few iPads for a few family members and one for myself
Just looking through the iPad it has copied all the notes from my iPhone (take it this must have been done through iCloud), worried that it has also copied this content to the other iPads that have gone to my family, some of the notes are sensitive business information that I don't need them seeing
How can I delete this information from the iCloud, is it also possible to remove these notes if they are now stored on the other iPads without actually getting hold of them and deleting this information

First of all, the main objective of an icloud account is to keep all devices connected to that account in sync. If some of your devices have been given to others, then they need to have their own Apple IDs to use for connecting to an icloud account.
At this point, if all the iPad have been set up with the same icloud account, there's nothing you can do short of getting back to them and deleting the account for each ipad. Then a different account ID needs to be added.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. You can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, the go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

I'd like to delete my icloud content

HI
I had used some strange app once and it generated a ridiculous amount of data that got backed up to my icloud. So much that I no longer can back up to icloud. Is there a way to completetly delete all of my icloud content and start fresh with a new back up of my phone using current settings I have?
Thanks!

Hello thespelt,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to delete all content off the iCloud. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

I keep getting a "Not enough storage to back-up my device" message since I upgraded to the new software. Short of purchasing more memory, and deleting some content, are there any other options?

What are my options for increasing storage capacity besides purchasing more memory, or deleting existing content. The new software install used up much of my storage capacity and the message is driving me crazy. Any ideas?? Thanks!

There are two kinds of storage messages that appewr on iOS devices. Your question seems at odds with your description so there might be some confusion here.
If the storage refers to not enough for an icloud back up then you need to purchase more icloud space or turn off iCloud backup. You can backup using iTunes on your computer with paying for additional iCloud storage.
if the storage refers to that on your iOS device as in there is not enough storage to update, then you have two options and neither option involves adding more storage since the amount of storage on an iOS devoce is fixed. One option is to delete stuff from your device to free up more space. The second option is to complete the update while your devoce is connected to your computer running the latest version of iTunes. When you do that the update is downloaded to your computer and extracted there so it doesn't require as much free space on your iOS device.

How do I PERMANENTLY Delete iCloud from my iMac???

I've been at this for three hours now. iCloud WON'T go away. Please help. I want it 100% gone, FOREVER. I want my Contacts and iCal data stored on my Mac!
I've read other discussions about this and no one's answers work. Every time I think iCloud is gone, as soon as I import my address book backup data, the data gets stored to iCloud again.
HELP! Very, very, very frustrated.
I am on Mavericks and I have local backups of my iCal and Address Book data via export/archive. I do not have any other devices, just my Mac desktop.
Thank you.

UPDATE:
I did "sign out" ... about 50 times today. I followed all instructions in every help forum I could find on the subject before coming here. In the end, I had to contact Apple support.
A repeated series of rebooting between signing out and deleting iCloud accounts from Address Book and iCal had to occur before the signout would stick. Even then, as soon as I imported from archive, the apps re-activated the iCloud account, every single time. Every. Single. Time. (Hence my frustration.)
Lesson 1: For some reason, if you export archive Address Book while still on iCloud, importing will re-activate iCloud.
Depends on how you archive, I'll assume that you made an ABBU (Address Book Archive) rather than a vCard file, doing so included the account as well as the content.
Lesson 2: If you drag-and-drop your contacts onto the desktop and import them into Address Book once you are both signed out of iCloud and iCloud is also successfully deleted from AddressBook (the part that took multiple reboots,) THEN it will add the contacts back in as "On My Mac."
Correct, exactly as exporting a vCard file from the export menu would have (drag and drop makes a vCard file)
Lesson 3: If you export archive your iCal while still on iCloud, importing wil re-activate iCloud.
Of course, if you are signed into iCloud it's the default account
Lesson 4: If you highlight and export each individual calendar to your iMac, you can import later without iCloud reactivating. However ...
However what?
Lesson 5: If you have synced any Gmail accounts in iCal, this will interfere with the importing. Even if you say "new calendar" in the prompt, it will load it to the Gmail section and then give you an error. To solve this problem, one needs to de-activate the calendar portion of Gmail from System Preferences/Internet Accounts. Gmail must remain disconnected from iCal until all individual calendar imports are finished, then it can be reactivated.
Gmail has nothing whatsoever to do with iCloud, it's a Google service and it follows Googles rules.
PS. When someone says they have been at it for "hours", please assume that they had the intelligence to take the normal, necessary steps. If "signing out" had worked, there would have been no need to come into this forum, under great stress and duress, and ask for help.
It seems that you did not take the normal steps (for a Google account), but I am glad you got there in the end.

I need to know if it's possible to retrieve deleted text contents

Is possible to recover deleted text content from my husband's iPhone 5?

Only if you have a backup on your computer or iCloud. The iPhone doesn't have a Trash Can or Recycle Bin. So if you delete something it's gone forever.
You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
 Cheers, Tom

What would happen with iCloud content when an iOS device is stolen?

What happens when an iOS device gets stolen. Are my contacts, calendars... in danger? When someone delets the content from one device, it is also deleted from my mac. What could I do to prevent this?

Yes content deleted from one device is deleted from another if it's deleted from within the application that uses it. Deleting the iCloud account from a device won't affect any other device.
You should turn on find my phone on each device and if it then gets stolen you can wipe or lock the device from another device or iCloud.com

HT1937 if you delete icloud off of your iphone, will the ipad that shares the account lose all imessages, photos etc?

If you delete icloud off of your iphone, will the ipad that shares the same account lose all imessages, photos, etc?

No.
Just delete the iCloud entry -- do not do the deletion from the content-bearing apps (Photos, Messages, etc.).
Delete from Settings > iCloud only.

My husband deleted iCloud from my ipad, does anyone know how I can reinstall iCloud on my ipad?

My husband deleted iCloud from my ipad, does anyone know how I can reinstall iCloud on my ipad?

You've tried logging out and back into your account on your iPad ?
If that hasn't fixed it then try closing Settings and iTunes apps via your iPad's multitasking bar :
iOS7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Settings and iTunes app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Settings or iTunes apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Settings and iTunes apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
When your iPad has restarted see if you can log into iCloud and if the iTunes store works.

Remove/delete Icloud account in apple servers

Hello everyone
I would like to know how to cancel denititely icloud account from apple´s servers
Thanks

From what other people have posted it appears you can't. Just delete any contents you don't want up there and sign out on your Macs.devices. After all it's not costing you anything.
Note that when you sign out, if you have been syncing any data such as calendars or contacts they will be removed from your Mac (though not the server) so you will want to transfer them to 'On My Mac' - see the second set of numbered instructions here for moving calendars.

How do I delete iCloud on my iPad without my password I don't have the email it was set up on anymore

How can I delete Icloud on my iPad ? I don't have the email address it was attached to anymore

Hello jimsacto,
This can be done directly on the iPad by holding your finger on the app that you'd like to delete until it wiggles. Once it's wiggling, tap the 'x' in the corner of its icon.
Apps
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the app you deleted again (it depends on where you live).
Tap and hold an app you want to delete.
The apps will begin to jiggle.
Tap the "x" on the app you want to delete.

Cross reference markers are deleted for content in text insets

Cross reference markers are deleted for content text insets. I currently have a chapter that is built from several Import by Reference files. I added an introductory paragraph with cross reference links to heading 2 titles in these text insets. Everything works and saves normally, although the cross reference markers disappear from the chapter when files are checked out a few days later. An extra Heading 2 is also added to the end of the document.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a chapter composed of several text insets.
2. Create a list of cross references to headings in these text insets at the beginning of the chapter.
3. Check in/check out the files from a source control product.
What went wrong?:
The cross reference markers are gone, resulting in broken cross references. An empty Heading 2 is also added to the end of the document following the final text inset
What should have happened?:
The markers should remain and the heading 2 tag should not be applied to the document.
Product version:
Product: FrameMaker
Version: 7.2
Platform information:Windows XP
Hardware: Dell Latitude D620
OS Version: Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
RAM: 1GB

Thanks for the information, Van. We did try several techniques including adding the insertion point immediately after the text inset before the normal paragraph tag, but none seemed to consistently work. I will investigate this scenario futher, though, in light of your comments.
We have managed to determine a workaround for this issue by avoiding a string of text insets. For some reason, using multiple text insets without separating them with normal text causes most of the problems after we add the files to our source control system. The situaton is not ideal, but it does work for the time being anyway.
