Does deleting your ICloud account delete it on any other devices you're using it on?

My family shares our Apple ID, but I want to delete the families iCloud account, from my ipad only, and replace it with a new one. If I press delete account, does anything change with the other devices?

Seriously, no one has an answer for this? I need to do the same thing but not sure if 'Delete Account' will delete the account from existence or just from the iPad. I need it to be the latter.

  • Will deleting my icloud account delete the pictures, contacts, etc. currently in my unsynced iphone?

    I want to change the appleid associated with my icloud account so that my wife's and my contacts and calendars aren't shared shared, while leaving a common store account so that our apps and music are shared. 
    When I start to delete the iclooud account so that i can set up a new one with a different appleid I get the very frightening warning:"If you delete your account all documents stored in icloud will be deleted from this iphone."
    Yikes! Definitely don't want to lose all the history and pics on the phone. Do I need to sync and backup before deleting the icloud account?  Or will I lose that data too?  Thanks for any help with this...

    You will lose the data stored in the iCloud account - like contacts, reminders, calendars, etc.  Photos will not be erased.  I'd sync to itunes before connecting to the new icloud account to be safe.

  • I'm trying to back my phone with iCloud but the message "you can not delete your icloud account because your iPhone is being restored" appears under storage and back up then when I click on storage and back up the icloud back up is grey so I can't clickit

    Need help with backing up on icloud. It's just grey the and can't click it.

    Sorry, I was gone for a while.  The reason I asked is that many employers will push a restriction to the phone to prevent it from backing up to iCloud.
    The only time I've seen this before it was the result of a server issue at Apple's end, and would normally clear up on it's own in 3-5 days.  If you can't wait, you'll probably have to contact Apple support for help with this: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • How do I delete my ICloud account if I no longer have an Iphone5c?

    My wife bought me the iPhone 5c and I ended up not liking it and took it back for a samsung galaxy 3. My phone isn't accepting texts sent from anyone with an iPhone as my number is registering as having an iPhone in iMessage. Please help!  The only thing I can think of is if I delete my iCloud account it will fix this big???

    Deleting your iCloud account won't fix this.  If you registered your device with a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregister it.  Also, you can try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

    You can't delete an iCloud account.
    Once it is attached to an AppleID it is attached forever.
    You can edit the name on your iCloud account or setup an email alias if you made a mistake with the email address.

    So i sold someone my old itouch yesterday and realized i had forgotten to delete my icloud account from it. Now when I try to use the Find My Iphone app the old ipod shows up. I want to delete this ipod off the app but it says it is active and wont let me delete it. Please help!

  • Can I DELETE an iCloud account associated with my AppleID?

    I have two AppleIDs - one that my wife and I share for purchases (apple ID is a gmail address) and one that I now use for all iCloud activities (@me.com).  I accidentally created an iCloud account while signed in using our shared AppleID and now want to delete that iCloud account to free up the @me.com address to use as an alias on my own @me.com AppleID.  Is it possible to delete iCloud accounts?  Any way to free up that email address I accidentally created under the wrong ID for use on the other account? 

    I'm in the same situation.  I went from MobileMe to iCloud, and when I tried to use my MobileMe sign in, I got the messge that the username and email address was already in use.  I created another one, and had two.  I called Apple Support, and they told me that I had to keep both accounts.  I had yet ANOTHER account for my iTunes, and Support told me that it was ok, if not good, to have separate logins for iTunes and iCloud. Currently, I have THREE iCloud accounts.  If I have my iCloud settings on my phone set to "Mail - ON" my calendars sync up, but I can't receive email from my email account that I use for business.  When I turn Mail off, I can receive emails, but my calendars are empty on the iPhone.  The calendars on my Mac are there, but everything is duplicated at least once.  Quite a mess on both the phone and Mac.  Not a happy camper with iCloud...

  • How to delete an iCloud account and turnoff Find my Phone for a email address that does not exist

    I have switched my itunes account to a new email address but the iCloud account is still registered to the old email account which I can no longer access.
    If I go to Settings>iCloud it requests my Apple ID password for the old email account but as this account does not exsist it does not accept the "old" password. it will not let me delete the account without turning off the Find My Phone app which aslo needs the old password.
    A related probelm is none of my apps will update as they are on the old account hence the need to delete the iCloud email account and create the new iCloud with the new email sign on address.

    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 (you won't need to verify it) and save the change.  You should now be able to use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.  After turning it off you can delete the account, go back change your ID back to the way it was again.

  • On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?

    On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?

    They were initially setup with the smae Apple ID but when you delete the iCloud account from the phone you disassociate iCloud items on your phone.
    If you want to rid the device of the Apple ID completely you will need to sign out in seceral places:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Settings > Messages > Turn off iMessage
    Setings > FaceTime > Turn off FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
    Settings > Game Center > Apple ID > Sign out
    Note: You can keep the iTunes & App Stores sign in to share purchases without any effect on anything else
    You should consider getting your own Apple ID.

  • I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • How do i change my iCloud account on my iPhone? I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

    I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs on to my iphone and our ipad, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

    Bad idea.
    What information do you want to share, exactly?  You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account.  You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
    Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.
