Does sign-out and re-login iCloud Account destroy any data?
As we know, to activate Handoff and Continuity function, I need to sign-out and re-login my iCloud account, but this operation will remove all the data from devices, which I'm worrying about is: Does any data being destroy on iCloud? All the data on iCloud is very important for me.. So I need to do this very carefully..
Does any data being destroy on iCloud?
Are you using iCloud drive?
The only data that are at risk by signing out of iCloud on your Mac are documents in limbo - files you moved to Cloud drive, that did not yet upload completely to iCloud. These will be removed from your Mac, before they have been completely uploaded to iCloud. But if you have unfinished uploads, you will receive a warning, when you try to sign out of iCloud. Unfortunately, you will not see, which files are still waiting to upload.

How do I sign out of an unknown icloud account on my iphone 5?
My iphone recognizes my current apple id, but I can't restore my phone due to Find My Iphone being on. I can't turn Find My Iphone off because the icloud account listed is not mine (different from my current apple id), and is preventing my from accessing icloud at all. The icloud account listed was an old account of mine, that i lost all information/access to (completely). Is there any way of signing out of this unknown icloud account without a password?
You need to either contact Apple's Account Security team, or if you're the device's original owner, ask Apple to unlock it.

Would I lost my apps,pictures and everything if I sign out and create a new account?
Hello, can someone help with my question. I want to change my Apple ID. Want to know if I would lose the stuff I have bought and pictures and videos?
No you will not lose anything of you change your Apple ID. Many people change their Apple ID if they get a new email provider, they have to change their Apple ID.
However, I am talking about changing the ID , not creating a new ID. Unless you have a very good reason for creating anew ID, don't do it. Purchases are always tied to the ID that was used to make those purchases. Creating a new ID means that you have to switch form one ID to another when you want to update apps or download apps again.
If you need to change the Apple ID to a new email address, see this.

How do I get my devices to stop needing me to sign out and sign back into my account to load my in the cloud purchases? (big hassle)
What account is it asking to be logged into?
Just what are you doing?
iCloud?
iTunes/App Store?
Try
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then try again
Reset the password:

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?
On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps. -
Ever since I got the iphone 5 my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook. I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and unlink and re link to Outlook. this creates multiple categories of contacts and calenders and I have no idea which is syncing with my phone, ipad, outlook. Help. thanks.
Sounds like the Outlook plugin isn't working properly. You could try a couple of things:
Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, uninstall iCloud, the download and install the iCloud contol panel for Windows again from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455. Then sign back into your iCloud account and check your syncing settings again.
Uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. (Uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.) This will replace the Outlook plugin.
Then try your calendar again and see if it will sync properly now. -
I cannot get my newly changed Apple ID to change in I cloud on my iPad. I have signed out and back in with my new id and have turned off my iPad completely and back on....it's still showing up with the old user name in iCloud. Help!
Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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 and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I put my husband's apple id in when I started to set up icloud in error. I realized I needed to change this right away and tried to sign out and restart with my own apple id, but it won't let me sign out in the middle of setting up. It says something about if I don't sync documents, all documents will be deleted from this computer, but I don't want to download all his work documents. Is there any way for me to start over and fix this?
Having signed out as suggested above, go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new Apple ID if you don't already have one. You will need a working email address which is different from that in the ID already in use.
The set up your Mac/device(s) as indicated here:

I recently changed my password for my Apple ID and now I can't receive calls on my iPad or Mac. All devices are signed on with the same iCloud account. Anyone have the same issue?
Hello!
On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.
