Deleting iCloud - or exporting contacts

Hi!
My dad and my brothers gave my mom an iPad for her 50th birthday. It was her second Apple product. The first one is her iPhone 4S.
On her iPhone 4S she has all her contacts, all her photos and all of her messages. She wants this on her iPad as well.
The problem is: On her iPhone she uses the Apple ID "[email protected]".  She doesn't know the password.
When she set up her iPad she registered with a new Apple ID "[email protected]". She knows the password to this one.
I can't for the LIFE OF ME figure out how to delete the old Apple ID, as my mom neither remembers the PW, the answer to the securities questiongs doesn't work, and there appears to be no secondary e-mail.
Is there any way to delete the old one without loosing her contacts and photos?
Regards,
Truls

Hello Truls,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For your Mother to retreive the data in an iCloud account, she will need to be able to sign in to that account.  Since she does not know the password, nor the security questions, she will need to contact Apple ID Account Security by using the link below.
Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
Have a good one,

  • Deleting iCloud-eMail. Contact Apple Suuport?

    Hello,
    I want to delete my iCloud-eMail, because the nickname is out of date.
    The same applies to the Communities name. ^^
    I think I must contact the Apple Support.
    But I found only a phone number where I have to insert a serial of my product.
    Is there a general phone number, or better mail address?
    Thank you for your help.
    Best Regards

    You can't delete your iCloud email account. If you want to change it, you'll have to setup a completely new iCloud account attached to a different AppleID.
    Alternatively, you can setup an email alias with the up to date address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    You also cannot change your Support Communities name without setting up a new account.

  • Can I recover deleted iCloud contacts?

    I accidentally deleted all my contacts in my Mac Address Book, and (since everything is synced with iCloud) that subsequently removed the contacts from all my devices and icloud.com.
    I have an iCloud backup for my iPhone from before I deleted my contacts. However, as I understand it, that backup is just a backup of my apps and settings (for example the setting that says use iCloud for Contacts). So when I restored from that iCloud backup, I still didn't have my contacts. I see the reasoning behind this, since iCloud itself is essentially the "back up" for your actual contacts data. But if a contact gets deleted from iCloud (which happened since I deleted contacts on a synced Address Book), how do I recover it?

    Hi All,
    I found the solution, i just tried it and it worked, hence thought of sharing it, to save you guys buying apps and etc.
    Case :  In iCloud settings, i turned Contacts OFF and it asked to delete and i agreed, only then to realise that it was the wrong account, i wanted to turn off email contacts but instead chose iCloud.
    Resolution  :
    1. Go to www.icloud.com ASAP.
    2. Enter your Apple ID credentials ( same used in iphone )
    3. Select Contacts.
    4. Select All contacts ( By pressing CMD+A )
    5. After all contacts are highlighted, on the below left corner, click on the Options.
    6. Select Export contacts vcf.
    7. It will automatically download to the Downloads folder.
    8. Automactically Contacts app will open and ask if you would like to import this contacts on ur MAC. Select NO.
    9. Locate the Export contacts.vcf in Download folder, select it , right click it, and share it through Email.
    10. Send an email to yourself.
    11. Open the email, open the attachment ( which  would the contacts )
    12. Select Add all contacts, select as New contacts.
    13. All contacts will be added automatically, only the photos will dissappear.
    Note : I have tried the above resolution only on iPhone, i have not deleted contacts from iMac, and tried the same.
    Hope this helps, i could have restored the iphone also , but this was much quicker.

  • Help! iCloud deleted my Outlook 2010 Contacts!

    I activated my iCloud account to back up my PHOTOS ONLY.  iCloud took my photos AND my Outlook 2010 contacts (in iCloud) but deleted them from my Windows 7 PC and I can't get them back!  My .pst file contents got wiped out.  Since I didn't check off the contacts box, there's no restore option on iCloud.  And Copy ALL + Export contacts only downloads the first one.  I have over 3000 contacts and will not download one by one.
    HELP PLEASE!!!

    Honest to gosh...I swear iCloud is a code name for a virus Apple has unleashed on Outlook.
    All of my contacts in Outlook 2010 are gone. They simply aren't there any longer since whatever happened when I put iCloud on my Windows 7 system.
    When I open Outlook, on the left of that window are the various selectable views...i.e. Mail, Calendar, Contacts etc. When I select Contacts, I have two options. I can either select  "My Contacts" (which is Outlooks contacts....and that's the one that is EMPTY) or I can select iCloud contacts. The iCloud contacts is where I see my contacts.
    Why did iCloud "suck" them all out of Outlook? Why did iCloud then delete them from Outlook? ....and the $99 question is how do I get them back to My Contacts in Outlook.
    Look folks....DO NOT (repeat) DO NOT ever trust anyt software application from any manufacturer or service provider that has the word "cloud" attached. If you haven't already lost data to a cloud provider...you will...period.
    Why wasn't I given warning that Apple was about to delete all of my contacts from my local computer, hard drive and Outlook?  Am I missing something here?
    Anyway...can anyone help me understand what I need to do to get the Contacts back from iCloud. That's horrible people. People are people...and sooner or later someone is going to lose your data...or worse ..steal your data.
    I'm done...any help appreciated.

  • TS4036 I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    I purchased an iphone for my daughter and we are using the same account and she deleted some contacts from her phone and they were deleted off of my contacts as well. Is there a way to use icloud backup to reinstall the contacts to my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can only restore them from a Computer backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
    Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.

  • I deleted icloud from my iphone and i lost my contact and photos. how do i get it back?

    I deleted icloud and lost my all my contact & photos

    If you delete the iCloud account, on your phone, that's the way it works...the data from iCloud, on your phone, gets deleted as well. However, this does not delete the data at iCloud.com...the data is still there. Just setup the iCloud account again & turn on contacts.

  • Deleted icloud from my iphone and it deleted all my contacts, calendar events etc etc.  i then stupidly i think synced my phone.  I want to back up from computer to phone to see if I can restore contacts - can someone tell me step by step how to do this?

    can anyone help me please.  i stupidly deleted icloud as i thought that was what was giving me problems with phone.  didnt realise it would delete all my contacts as well.  i then, again stupidly I think, synced my phone backing up the phone to the computer and probably overriding the cotnacts that were on my computer?  Anyway, can anyone tell me how you back up from the computer BACK TO THE PHONE to see if I can get my contacts back?  Would be very grateful if you could give me the step by step idiots guide as I am really nervous around technical stuff

  • How to restore a deleted iCloud backup? I deleted the backup to free up the 5 GB free storage and now on my iPhone some of my Contacts are missing a phone

    How to restore a deleted iCloud storage backup?
    I deleted it all to free up the free 5 GB storage and now on my iPhone 5s some of my Contacts are missing a phone # info and some of the Contacts are missing entirely. Thank you.

    I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
    closed Notes,
    turned WiFi off,
    entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library':  /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
    entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
    opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
    turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
    replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud.... 
    notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
    Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this.  TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite.  Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug.  If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
    Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud.

  • Deleted icloud account and now names are gone in contacts only numbers shown.  How do I get the names back?

    I created an icloud account but my 2 kids shared the same itunes account.  I had the kids delete their icloud accounts from their phones.  My contacts and my daughter's contacts merged on my phone, when she deleted her icloud account her contacts no longer show names... only phone numbers.  How can we fix this?

    The only possible way that you could get it back is if the app is still in your iTunes library. If you don't sync with iTunes and it is not in your iTunes library, unfortunately, your version of the app is gone now.

    Hi Prince,
    OK, so you did turn on PhotoStream on your device. On iCloud.com there is no setting for PhotoStream - it is not needed. PhotoStream only get "turned on" on a device or a computer (in the computer settings - not on the website).
    So, once it is turned on, you take a picture, and it may take a few minutes before you see it in the PhotoStream on your phone. If you take a couple of pics and they don't show up, say within a half an hour, then you might want to do a reset on your phone (press the Home and Power buttons at the same time, and hold them down until the silver Apple appears - you won't lose anything by doing this....) Once it comes back up, you could try a couple more pics, or check the PhotoStream to see if the ones you took previously are there.
    Not sure about the option at the bottom of the Photo App - I think it is a permanent item (like Places - I don't use Places for my photos, but it is there all the same.
    I agree with you that it is a great backup for your photos - especially if you don't regularly sync to a computer. PhotoStream will keep up to 1000 of your photos, so it's good insurance against losing them. Just as a major user of the camera on my iPhone, I would recommend that you do back up to your computer as well. Videos are not saved in PhotoStream, so those would be lost if anything ever happened to your phone and you had not backed up to a computer....
    But don't give up on PhotoStream either - it's not only great for backing up those last 1000 photos, it is also great for sharing between devices (say, if you have an iPad).
    So, give it another try, and if you have any questions, post back!
    Cheers,
