Does deleting iCloud account remove photos from phone and iPad?

I know this has been answered, but I am still confused.
Will deleting my iCloud account remove photos from my phone?
I've read just "iCloud"- but where is this?
Long story short, I got married the month before I got my iPad, being a newlywed I wasn't thinking I would find my husband impregnating another woman and moving in with her behind my back so I figured creating an iCloud name with his last name would be good to go. Obviously not. Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them. The games are whatever, I plan on starting those over because I'm sure that I can't keep my progress. Do I have to re-download them?
Also is there a way to uninstall an update? The 7.1 removing of full contact pictures when recieving calls was a bummer

> Anyway- all my photos are screenshots needed for my anullment process and I can't lose them.
Transfer them to your computer to keep them safe. If you lose or break your iPad you'll lose them without a backup.

In addition to the very sound and useful information posted by Lawrence Finch, there is also a way to save the photos from the photo stream to the camera roll on the iPad so that even if the photo stream is turned off, the photos will remain on the iPad.
Launch the photos app and them open the Photo Stream album. Select every photo that you want to save by tapping on them, then tap in the action/sharing icon and select - Save to Camera Roll.
Having said that, the information that Lawrence shared with you is very important and the instructions in both articles are very useful. Make use of them.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You don't really sync photos from the devices to the Mac, you import them to an app; iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture. During that process you are given an option to erase the photos from the device. Is this not the manner that you used?

How do I change the phone number associated with my iCloud account after replacing my phone and switching carriers/getting a new phone number?

I recently replaced my lost iPhone but in the process, had to switch carriers and activate a new phone number. I backed the new phone up from iCloud which was still attached to the old number (for example, when I attempt to sync Keychains, the security code continues to be sent to the old number). I'm looking to update my iCloud account with the new phone number so I can sync my devices and any I might get in the future. Help! Please!
Thanks

Do you not set the phone number within Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
and not iCloud?
May be wrong here:(

TS3988 how do i merge two icloud accounts - on on my computer and ipad, a different icloud id on my iphone?

How do I merge two iCloud accounts into one? One account is on my mac and ipad, the other on my iphone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot merge accounts, you will need to choose one and use it.

HT5621 Deleting icloud account means photos will be deleted on the phone ?

If I delete my icloud account will all my photos be deleted ?

If you simply remove your account from the iPhone (e.g., Settings > iCloud = "Off"), then your photos will not be deleted from your iCloud account.

Does ann iCloud account accept files from a pc

Hi gerry.p,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The answer depends on what types of files you are referring to:
The articles below will explain what iCloud is and how to install it on a Mac, PC and your iOS devices.

Can I use iCloud to store photos from iPhone and Mac?

I would like to use iCloud like Dropbox. I have photos that were taken on my iphone and photos that are loaded on my Mac from a camera that I would like to store in the Cloud. I would also like others be able to download their photos of this event to the same Icloud account. Is that possible?.

The only way you can store photos in iCloud indefinitely is if you add them to a shared stream. However, when you do this, the photo will be at a lower resolution than the originals.
My photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for all your devices to receive them. The only other photos in iCloud are camera roll photos stored in your backup. However, you can't see anything in the backup unless you restore it to your device. Also, if you delete the photos from your device and continue to back it up, the backup that contains the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and they wil be lost.

So my iCloud account is on my phone and my old iPad. My ex has the iPad and even tho she says she turned it off, I know she didn't. I want my account to be my account only so what do you suggest I do?

MMy ex has my old iPad and I don't want her knowing my business. My iCloud was on there and I know she didn't turn it off. Do I change my ID or just start a new one?

Go to http://appleid.apple.com and change your password (before she does). That will lock her out. Make it a strong password she can't guess.
When you change the password please follow this procedure:
1. Before doing anything, turn off 'Find my iPhone/iPad/Mac' on any devices it's enabled on.
2. Sign out of iCloud on all your devices. On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'. On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server). Your iCloud-synced data will disappear from your device. If offered the opportunity to save it on your Mac, don't.
3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com, sign in and click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar. Answer the security questions, if set, and then click 'Edit' next to the password field. Save.
4. Sign back in on all your devices. Your data will re-appear (give it time). You can now re-enable 'Find My...'.
5. I reiterate, before your start, turn off 'Find My...' or you will probably need the services of Support.

E 9 REMOVING PHOTOS FROM HARD AND E9 SOFTWARE

I have Elements 9. When I upload from a SD card to Elements 9 and then after review want to delete many unwanted photos I click right click on the highlighted pictures, [most of the time, several hundred photos at once] and click on "Delete from Catalog..." and then check "Also delete selected item(s) from hard drive" it takes an hour or more to delete the selected items or it just crashes. It should be noted that if I "Delete from Catalog..." without checking the box "Also delete selected item(s) from hard drive" the process goes very quickly, within 60 seconds. BUT I must develop a written list on a sheet of paper the items that I still must now delete from my hard drive and go into "My Computer", find the folder and then delete using my written list. AND this also is very fast. But what a pain to write down that many pic numbers [usually between 500 and 1600] to get the job done. My PC has 1 terabit storage, 8 gig memory (ram), and GeForce GTS450. Can you give some ideas as to where/how to fix? Where to start looking would really help. Like could it be Elements 9, ram, the GeForce, or other, or a combination of something. Thanks t64425

Have a look at that post of mine in the Adobe feedback forum:
Elements 11 or 12 organizer : unable to delete a big number of files
I must say that in my case, not checking the deletion on the drive does not help.
Since that post, I have done a successful test in deleting 1100 items from a catalog of 53 000 items with PSE13 on a Win7 64 bits PC with 9 GB RAM. I believe the 64 bits option helps a lot, but the main factor is the amount of available memory. The deletion is very slow but in the worst case I get a message that the transaction has been aborted and I am back to the initial situation.

How do i change the icloud account associated with my iphone and ipad when i forgot the password and no longer have access to the email account?

I have an iPhone 5c and an ipad 3. using the latest version of iOS. I can't delete the old iCloud account on the devices without putting in a password but I don't have it, nor a way to change it via email since the email acct is an old one.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your devices, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I set up a new iCloud account separate for my iphone and ipad?

I have an old iCloud account for my iphone and when I bought an ipad last year I used the same iCloud account. I now have no storage left and my iphone won't back up. I want to upgrade my iphone soon but don't want to lose all my photos, contacts, etc.
I have spent the last hour trying to create a new iCloud account so I have two separate ones for my iphone and iCloud, to no avail. Apple don't seem to have any information I submit and I am just going round in circles updating passwords! And re-enters new account details. I haven't received an email registering my new iCloud account.
Can anyone help! Can I create two iCloud accounts? Why can't i! Even though I am using two separate email addresses.

If it's stuck on verifying it's because she never responded to the verification email that Apple should have sent to the primary email address she used for the Apple ID she set it up with. She should check her inbox and spam/junk folder for this email and click on the Verify Now link to verify the account. If the email isn't there, she can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under her Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
Or, you can just delete the account (which is a misnomer since until verified the account isn't really created).

How do I delete large numbers of photos from library and hard drive without clicking on each one individually?

For instance by dragging across them like you would do to move a block of type. Or any other way. I'm editing about 5,000 images.

The Short answer is the Same Way you select multiple files on the computer system of your choice. Windows would be to click on the first image then hold down the Shift key and select the last image or if they don't run concurrently select the first, hold down the Ctrl key and click the individual files. Once that is don't hit the Delete key and select whether to delete from the just the catalog or Remove from Disk.
On Mac it is the same except the hold down key for selecting non concurrent images and there really isn't a Delete key on a Mac. IIRC you hold down the shift or command key and hit the Backspace key which is labeled Delete.

How do I move photos from phone to iPad, my phone has no room to update to ios7 ?

how can I move all my photos to my ipad?? my ipad has some of the photos but not all of them. I need to free up room on my iphone 4S to update to ios7.
I have a new 5S ordered but need to keep all my phots on the ipad

I would connect to the computer and import photos there. The only way that I know of getting photos to the iPad is photostream, and that would only work for photos taken after photostream is activated. You can import to the computer, then delete the photos and then sync them back afterwards.

<Personal Information Edited by Host>

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
