How do I disable iCloud on my computer?

I don't want to use iCloud, however, looking in the system preferences it shows that both my contacts and calendar are checked for using it.  I do not remember doing this.  I would prefer not to use iCloud.  In addition, I get this annoying log in screen every time I boot my computer up and I have to hit cancel.  Is there any way to disable iCloud and how would I get my contacts and calendar stored on my computer so that everything is not lost once I disable it from iCloud?
I'm using OS 10.9.5 on a Mac Pro.
Thanks for any help,
kt

Computers do not back up to icloud, only ios devices can do that.  Or do you mean something else?  Photo stream perhaps?  (This is not a backup.)
On your mac, System preferences>icloud, enter your ID to log into icloud.

  • 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.

    how do I access icloud from my computer at work?

    iCloud does not offer general file storage in the manner of iDisk, only syncing of iWork and Textedit files for access by your iOS devices. In Lion you go to the iWork section of iCloud and drag the files there in the Finder (they sync automatically on iOS); in Mountain Lion you can save directly to iCloud. But you can't store other types of files (other than by the odd workaround).

  • If I don't have icloud, only mobileme on my macbook pro, how do i get icloud on my computer?

    If I don't have icloud, only mobileme on my macbook pro, how do i get icloud on my computer?

    By upgrading to OS X Lion 10.7.2 or higher (required for iCloud).  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • How to delete disabled icloud account without knowing the password/email

    Hi
    i just got a pre-used iphone 5S. It has a disabled icloud account. i tried to delete it but it asks me about the password.
    i cant reset the account cause i don't know the email for verification.
    also i can't restore using itunes because it asks to turn off find my iphone feature. and i can't turn it off because the account is disabled
    how can I restore the iphone in this case?

    You can't. There isn't a way to bypass Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695 Your only option is to return the phone if possible. If not, you have a useless device.

  • How do I disable iCloud from my broken iPhone?

    The screen of my iPhone 4 was destroyed and is now perminantly black - as a result I'm now using my old iPhone 3G.
    My question is - when my friends with iPhones send a text it still goes out to me as an 'iMessage' and because I'm on the 3G I never receive it. Everything I've read says I need to disable iCloud from the devise...but when the screen is completely black I'm not sure how to do that. I've check iCloud.com but do not see a place where I can "unlink" my phone from the cloud – unless 'wipe my iPhone is the solution'.
    Any help/ideas is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Remote Wipe should solve the problem.

  • How do I disable iCloud on iPhone5 running IOS 7?

    How do I stop iCloud from running on my iPhone5 after upgrading to IOS7?
    Roughly 24 hours after upgrading to IOS7, my iPhone incessantly started popping up an iCloud login window.
    Canceling out of iCloud window, resuled in a new iCloud login window popping up.
    The iCloud popup window would not give me enough time to do anything on my iPhone.  Including turning off Airplane mode, so entering my iCloud password would actually do some good.  Took three tries after getting iPhone connected, as if iPhone was sending garbage for password.
    Never had this problem before, never got a request from iCloud for login; until I made mistake of upgrading to IOS7.
    I don't use iCloud for anything, and don't want too.

  • ICloud preferences and other apps hang on iPhone, can't enable/disable services to sync. How to force-disable iCloud on iPhone?

    Hi,
    I've been having a lot of problems since upgrading to iOS5 and enablind iCloud on my iPhone 4:
    - I've had both Contacts and the Phone app freeze repeatedly. Contacts often freezes when going back up to the "Groups" view, and I have to force-quit it to continue using it. I've also had repeated crashes of Phone when trying to view contacts.
    - Whenever I try to enable or disable services to sync in the iCloud settings screen, it hangs forever in the twirling "Turning on/off" notification. I've left it running for at least an hour once and it never finished. I have to force-quit the Settings app, and the change I request never gets applied.
    I've tried restoring the phone from backup and also resetting all preferences, but the problem persists ("reset all preferences" doesn't seem to erase the iCloud settings).
    I'm this close to resetting my phone to zero and reinstall everything by hand, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone knows of a way to forcefully disable iCloud on the iPhone, or anyone has seen these types of problems before.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see what space is available to you on the phone at settings > general > usage > storage. It's the phone that needs the space (a little over 3 GB) to install iOS7.
    Back ups or the space used by them isn't really relevant for installing iOS7, but that's not something you can see at iCloud.com.

  • How do i remove icloud off my computer

    I am a novice at setting up apps on my Iphone.  I set up Icloud on my phone and computer.. and my pictures from my computer are now on my Iphone.. how do I get the pictures off my Iphone and icloud control of my pictures on my computer...

    If you don't want to receive photo stream photos on your PC, just go to the iCloud control panel for Windows and uncheck Photo Stream.  Note: if you want to save the photo stream photos on your PC, you'll need to copy them to a different folder before doing this or they will be deleted.
