How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.

How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.

Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com.  They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream.  If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll.

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.

    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

    How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
    All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
    I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
    Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
    As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

    That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)

  • Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop.  It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music.  How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

    Somehow I created a live copy of "Finder" on my desktop.  It is titled "iPhoto Library", and has live copies of all of my files/photos/music.  How can I make it go away without deleting all of my content?

    Either you moved or copied your iPhoto library folder to the Desktop.
    Quit iPhoto. Rename the folder on your Desktop to something else, such as "foo." Launch iPhoto. If you still see all your photos, you can delete "foo."
    If you don't see your photos, quit iPhoto, rename "foo" to "iPhoto Library," and put it in your Pictures folder. Try iPhoto again.

  • ICloud deleted all my contacts and photos. How can I get it back?

    All my contacts and photos from my iPhone and from my ICloud webpage are gone.
    I have an ICloud backup from yesterday morning so i tried restoring, but my contacts disappeared again after a few seconds. It says that i have 1000 photos, but I can't see them. All the pictures are grey and when I click on one it just says "loading" and nothing happens.
    I kept getting a message to enter my ICloud password, so i did and maybe that could be the reason, or maybe it's because I charged my phone on my new macbook and it somehow deleted it all.
    I don't have an ITunes backup, but if I have an old ICloud backup, shouldn't it be possible to get it all back?
    I hope someone can help. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos don't restore from back up, they restore after back up has completed, so it's quite normal to have to wait a while, especially if you don't have a reliable network.
    To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
    To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
    Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

    Restore the iPhone from your backup.
    See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

  • HT204053 How can I get an icloud account without merging my husbands iphone info, we have same itunes acct

    My family shares the same itunes account on all three iphones and my ipad.  I am trying to back up my iphone data without having it merge with my husband and daughters iphone.  How do I do this?  I just tried to back up my device in itunes with a protected password and it will not back up.  Can I create an icloud account for my phone and different icloud accounts for my husband and daughter and still keep our itunes account?
    Thanks
    Denise

    Yes, you can do that. Just create a new iCloud account for you:
    1. "Settings > iCloud" (log out from your husbands account, if you are signed in and delete this account from your iPhone)
    2. Create a new iCloud account on your iPhone with a free me.com email address:
    "Setting > iCloud"
    or
    "Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud"
    3. After that you will have the opportunity to sync and backup your personal mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes etc. completely separated from your husbands account.
    4. But make sure to keep your husbands account for iTunes and app purchases:
    "Settings > iTunes & App Stores"
    I hope that answers your question and will help you.

  • How do I disable an iCloud account without deleting the account?

    The iCloud is getting annoying, because all of my sibling's things are showing up on my ipod, and I don't want that. I don't want to delete the entire account, just disable it on my ipod 5. How do I do that?

    Deleting the account only deletes if from your iPod, not from iCloud.  Anyone else still using the account will not be effected by this.
    If you no longer wish to use iCloud, save any photos stream photos that you wish to keep on your phone to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tapping the photos, tapping Share, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iPod when prompted (in order to keep a copy of your iCloud data on your iPod.)
