How can I disable iCloud without having my documents deleted?

Hello everyone.
Before trying out iCloud, I had a number of documents on my ipad. I decided to try iCloud, but upon switching it back off, my documents were deleted off of pages. Upon restarting iCloud, they reappear.
So my question is, how do I turn off iCloud without having my documents deleted?

> Syncing documents with iCloud is not enabled by default.
Then you shouldn't come on so strong. I have a 200 Gig Dropbox account and I have been wary from day 1 of using my 1 year MobileMe "free" storage that would eventually go away if I didn't pay Apple. I would not, and did not, set iCloud to save my documents.
I'd like to get the real answer from Apple emloyees. If you can not delete from iCloud without deleting on the computer, it's a bad design. What I'm talking about is very easy with Dropbox.
thanks

  • How can I disable iCloud on my iMac and my iPod touch 5th gen?

    My ipod touch 5th gen now syncs through icloud. How can I disable icloud from my ipod and my imac and go back to syncing through iTunes.  Is it possible to do this without losing the data in contacts and ical?  Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    With the iPod connected to your computer go to the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck the box that says: Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi.
    Also in the Summary pane check the box that says backup to the computer.

    The iLife that came with your MacBook is on the #2 gray disk that came with the MacBook.
    The App Store version of iLife ‘11 programs will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the iLife ’11 DVD which will run on 10.6  on eBay or Amazon.com fairly cheap.

  • My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without having to wait fo rthe serial number to come up

    My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without have to wait for the serial number?

    The serial number will not help you track it at all.
    IF you set up fond my ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was stolen AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been restored by the thief, tehn you may be able to get an approx street address from icloud/find my ipod.
    Otherwise, there is no way to track it at all.

    Hey guys so I enabled Photostream for the first time in months on my phone, and I found pictures that I thing my uncle took, I put him on my iCloud account months ago to use the feature findmyiphone, and iCloud backup using my account. i think i enabled photo stream on his phone. Its there  way I can disable photo stream or iCloud in general without having the physical device? it's in another country. Thank You

  • I was sharing apple id with husband on our iPhones but now we want to each have our own, how can i do this without having all his info on his phone be lost?

    When husband and i got our iPhones we shared the same Apple ID but not that we have added an iPad and Mac he wants his own apple ID how can I change the apple id/icloud to his own without deleting all his phone and resetting?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You both need your own iCloud accounts. I would set up the second iCloud account and get all the data showing in both accounts, before trying to delete anything. You will need to delete the unwonted contacts and appointments etc manually.

  • Yesterday iTunes worked - today, it acts like it's newly installed (won't show any of my music or playlists) - what could have made it forget everything it knew yesterday and how can I fix it without having to redo all my previous work?

    The title says it all.  iTunes was working fine last night.  I added some more music to my playlists and synched my iPod last night, then shut down.  Today, when I start iTunes it opens up a welcome to setup screen and acts like it wants me to answer questions to configure it for the first time.  When I cancel out of that, it opens up a normal iTunes screen that's completely empty of music and has none of my custom playlists (all the playlists it does show are empty) and it's asking me if I want to have it search my PC and add media files, as if it's newly installed and that's never been done.
    Has anybody seen this behavior before, and is there some simple way I can fix it so it remembers all the stuff it knew last night, without having to start all over again and rebuild all my playlists and stuff?

    For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    Hi
    Is there a way to reinstall Safari - without having to reinstall entire Mac OS X?

    Hi
    Yes - just download the appropriate version from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ & install it - that should replace the Safari application &  the accompanying software frameworks inside System/Library/, as well as one or two other items.

  • How can I get iCloud purchases that I've deleted from my computer to NOT show up with the new iTunes?

    I've downloaded a lot of free indie music through itunes, and itunes has graciously stored all of my purchases on iCloud.  The thing is, I deleted A LOT of that music from my computer, but not from iCloud, and now it's all showing up again.  Is there a way I can get rid of the stuff I've deleted, without doing it one by one?

    I had a similar problem when I updated to iTunes 11. The problem seems to have been solved by doing the following:
    Edit > Preferences > Store. Then unclick "Show iTunes in the Clous purchases". I hope it works!

  • HT201303 I need a refund for iCloud storage. How can I do it without having to call abroad?

    As far I am aware the 'purchases are considered final' applies to iCloud as it does with other purchases. There are instructions for downgrading iCloud on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4009 , and you can contact iCloud support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/ww/

  • I have a USA DVD which I would like to play on my macbook pro. How can I do this without having to use up options to convert between regions which are limited

    I have a USA DVD which I would like to play on my macbook pro without using up the options to switch regions. Is there a way to do this?
    Also can it be done through a DVD player attachment to an Ipad?

    program called MDRP to rip it......  then use Wondershare to convert it, also Iskysoft video converter is an option.
    You dont have to put it ON the Ipad, once on the Mac, you can Stream it wifi to the Ipad using the $2 program called VLC STREAMER (not VLC, but streamer made by VLC),.... best APP for your Ipad to stream videos from your MAC to your Ipad.
