How can I "clean out" my iCloud storage on my iPad?

Lately I have been getting messages saying that I con't have enough space in my iCloud storage to backup my iPad and lately my iPad has been acting up and going really slow, freezing, and closing out apps. How do I "clean out" my iCloud storage so that I will have enough room? I saw an option to delete the backup, but I don't want to do that because that deletes everything...right? And I need a lot of those apps backed up. What should I do?

How can I REALLY downgrade my iCloud storage? HELP!

How can I REALLY downgrade my iCloud storage? Apple is trying to scam ppl out of $$. They will NOT allow you to downgrade per their instructions. It ALWAYS says the iCloud manager is not available, try later. Here is what my email says:
This is a reminder that on 03/03/2015 you will be charged $10.99 for your 20 GB storage plan using your Visa •••• (deleted). If you do not wish to be charged, you can cancel by downgrading to the free storage plan from your iOS device, Mac or PC.
The iCloud Team
I'm so disappointed that all my products are currently Apple and now I down't trust them as far as I can throw them. There is already a class action suit in Florida for the icon taking up 23% of users' available space, now they are trying to charge me $$ yearly when I do NOT need the space? Shame, Apple.. Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave about your unethical business practices... This does NOT work:
You can also cancel or downgrade your storage plan at any time. For a full refund, contact iCloud Supportwithin 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment. Partial refunds are available where required by law. Learn more about iCloud storage plans or get help using Cloud storage.
No... the "done" button will not light up, and it says the iCloud manager is "not available at this time. Try again later." This is a known problem... fix it.

Thank you Roger! Going into my iTunes at least allowed me to delete my credit card info so they can't charge it. In the meantime, after 2 calls I finally got connected to a Senior Advisor from Apple who was able to manually go into my account and remove the automatic charge to my credit card. After sharing my screen, she was able to see the issue many others are having being unable to downgrade. There is a bug in the system that tells you the manage storage is "unavailable at this time". She followed me through several of these threads and realized it is actually an issue. She took all the relevant information and will submit a bug fix request. She even admitted that goal and apple were having an issue syncing to the correct time zone at that there was no know fix at this time. While frustrating, the honesty was refreshing.
Thank you SO much for you quick response on this! My apologies for my tone; this was my first time using this forum. I went through Apple support and didn't realize that there are no Apple employees on here. I was on the line with someone from customer service that wasn't as helpful at the time and was very frustrated..
Thanks again for your help! To all others having this problem, keep calling Apple tech support until you get a Senior Advisor - they will help!! The advisor even told me to tell people to call in and that they need to manually downgrade on their end until they get this issue resolved.

Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

How can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud account

how can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud account,

"So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"
No.
Sorry.
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.

Hi ! I got an iPhone 5 from someone who I don't know the real owner. Then I wanna change iCloud on it, but I don't know the password of owner. How can I log out that iCloud account without password ? Please help me, thank you

Thank you, please help me !

How can I log out that iCloud account without password ?
You can't.
Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

HT204053 How can i log out of icloud on an ipod touch?

How can i log off of icloud on my ipod without deleting any data from my icloud account?

Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This only deletes the account and your synced data from your device, not from your iCloud account. When you sign back in, your data will be synced back to your device.
But before deleting the account, save your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

How do i clean out my icloud?

about a few days ago, my ipod 5s turned off and at the time, i had no idea how to turn it back on and i had no idea what caused it. I eventually discovered that it was my iCloud and it was taking up a lot of space. How do i clean it out so i can use my ipod again?

After I replied to your's of 16th I decided to find out (you know, men do not read instructions) and the solution is very simple. Settings > iCloud where you get the option to delete all or part of content. Good luck!

How can I clean out my ipod before I sell it?

I changed my email Adress for my Apple ID. How can I sign out of iCloud and put my new email address in for my Apple ID in iCloud?

I changed the email address for my Apple ID and so how can I chAnge it to my new email Adress on my iCloud?

You should have done it the other way arround. You should have started with signing out, before you changed your email. I would suggest to follow these steps...
1. change your email address back to the old one
2. delete your iCloud account from all your devices (especially turn off "Find My iPhone")
3. change your email to your new email address aigain
4. add your iCloud account again

How can pictures be downloaded from iCloud storage to a PC?

I had a lot of problems with my iPhone 4S that appeared immediately after my warranty expired. My phone was not recognized by any other computers or devices--not just by iTunes, but by the computer itself. I tried every fix for that, but was unsuccessful. This meant that I had thousands of pictures stored on my device with no really good way to get them off. I tried a Dropbox app, but attempting to upload 7000 pictures at once kept crashing it and I didn't have time to deal with it manually. Basically, 10 of the 16G of storage on my phone was devoted to pictures, and when iOS8 dropped, I didn't have enough memory to update. I finally received my new iPhone 6 today, a year after those problems started, and paid to upgrade my iCloud storage. I then spent about 8 hours letting everything, including all of my pictures, backup to the cloud. After all that, my iCloud account on the computer said that I couldn't view the pictures unless I upgraded my device to iOS8, which kind of messed up the entire plan. I decided though that since both my phone and PC desktop iCloud account said that I had 10G of pictures in the cloud, it was there, so I'd just access everything when I activated my iPhone 6. Well, now I have my iPhone 4S off and my new phone set up, with every possible photo sharing option turned on everywhere I could find but online and on my phone, it says the pictures are "in there" but that my iCloud photos and drive are empty, so I can't actually view or access them! What gives?! My new phone is working fine, but I'd rather not lose over 7000 pictures!

UPDATE: all that is in my drive is my "Mail" accounts and a BACKUP when I go to manage data. Is there any way to get photos a set of backup data if they were not added picture by picture to the photo stream? When I click on the options for the Photo Steam in iCloud, nothing happens (because it thinks it's empty, I'm assuming). Are these now a different file type that is inaccessible? The device on which these were taken and are stored is deactivated so I cannot use cellular data on it anymore.

How can I come out of icloud drive and revert to icloud.co?

How can I revert to previous configuration after mistakenly signing up to icloud drive? I have Mountain Lion and do not wish to sign up to Yosemite.

You cannot revert to "Documents in the Cloud", you can just stop using iCloud Drive, once your iCloud account has been upgraded to iCloud Drive. There is no way back.
From: iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
After I upgrade to iCloud Drive, can I downgrade and go back to using Documents in the Cloud?
No, after you upgrade to iCloud Drive, you can't go back to using Documents in the Cloud. You can turn off iCloud Drive in iOS 8 by going to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive. You can turn off iCloud Drive on your Mac by going to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud and deselecting iCloud Drive. If you turn off iCloud Drive, your documents and data will no longer be kept up to date across all of your devices.

How can I turn off iBooks iCloud storage?

It's messing with my total allowed storage (putting me over the limit) and I just want it turned off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Settings
iCloud
storage & backup
manage storage
(select your device )
Below is all the apps set to back up to your cloud, turn off and delete stored data from any App you like.
Below each App is the amount of cloud storage is uses.
Usually Photo and video are the GB hogs. Use dropbox on your iPod, iPad and computer to automatically download photos you take daily, so they don't need to be backed up to the cloud.
Mapping apps take up a ton of storage.
Books don't usually take up much data, but you may have 1000's while I have a couple dozen.
