How do I get rid of iCloud on my Windows computer?

So I downloaded the new version of iTunes onto my Windows P.C. After about a month of use, some crappy thing called iCloud mysteriously entered my computer. I did not download it, nor did any of my family. It was not there one day and the next it was. iCloud stole all of my iTunes music, deleted the stuff not from the iTunes Store and then decided it would engrain itself into my computer so now I can't get rid of it. I already looked at programs and it is not in there so I can't delete it from my computer. I went to the iCloud website and looked around there and I couldn't even find my music there, let alone delete the dang thing. iCloud also deletes the music I manually download from CD's; I download the music, it is in iTunes, then I exit iTunes and get back in and that music is gone. This is very, very frustrating and strange. Anybody got any answers?
Thanks! JG14

Gotcha..on a few things. I get that it has to be downloaded (you would think). I didnt download it, but I did so click on the newer version of the itunes. I did have all my music backed up..and put it back rightly so where it belonged in itunes, when I reset. I went to iCloud and checked to see if I could actually sign in..nothing. What the? I do have an apple id account,(dont know if that matters), so Im assuming that I dont have an account with iCloud, yet there was this little cloud in front of all my music. Just within the last couple of weeks. When I tryed to play a song, it would say downloading from store. When I plugged in my ipod to sync, it would ask me to reset. Along with my son's ipod. GRRR. I would have to click on any and every single one I wanted, to get it on to the ipod. Imported cd's disappeared completely when I logged out, along with any playlist I made..just like what happed with our friend JG14. Very confusing ****. I agree with you, that it has to be some sort of download or sign in or something, but this really had me stumped too. I admit that things pop up, you might accidently click n them, with Itunes or whatever one gets for their device, but this was unreal. In my research, Ive discovered that there are quite a few complaints for this iCloud business, if your not connected to internet, you cant play your stuff. I know you dont have to pay again, but thats still a pain. Its easy to disable on a phone (apparantly). But really Csound1, to disable iCloud and risk losing what you ALREADY had?.. I already had all my stuff, before that unfriendly little cloud. maybe, Ive become electronically spoiled, I dont like having to re-download everytime. Yuck and Ick. Thanks for answering me btw.

I upgraded to iPad2 from original. How do I get rid of original iPad info on computer so I can synch computer with iPad2 info?, I upgraded to iPad2 from original. How do I get rid of original iPad info on computer so I can synch computer with iPad2 info?

I gave my daughter my original iPad when I upgraded to iPad2. I deleted iTunes and Quick Time from my computer thinking it would get rid of the old info from the original iPad. I reinstalled iTunes and Quick Time and tried synching my new iPad2. It downloaded the old info from my original iPad to my new iPad2 and now it calls my new iPad2 Linda's iPad. How do I get rid of all the old info and just have my new iPad2 info? I don't mind that it put somethings from my original iPad (movies, books, some - not all - my music, etc). I can't even synch the bluetooth of the iPad2 to the bluetooth of my PC (I think it's all related somehow).

Why would you not want to keep all of the data, apps, music, photos etc that you had on your first iPad on your new iPad? Don't you want to keep all of that content? You bought the apps, music etc with your iTunes account I would assume so why not keep them?
Deleting iTunes simply removes the application from your computer - not the content in your iTunes library.
If you want to rename your new iPad - connect to your PC - launch iTunes - double click on the iPad name on the left side of the iTunes window and you can type in the new name. Then hit the return key on your keyboard.

Sync the Bluetooth of the iPad2 to your PC? You can't sync the two devices via Bluetooth. You pair devices via Bluetooth but that would do no good for you anyway. You can't transfer content from the iPad to the PC via Bluetooth.

How do I get rid of these ads from my computer

I recently installed a few things on my macbook pro (which I'm now realizing was stupid) and now on safari certain words on different website turn up green and double underlined. When you scroll over it, and ad pops up like this:
https://31.media.tumblr.com/936ade744cdf810d5183c964b6805e63/tumblr_n6038pXqzb1r 7oq4wo1_400.png
How do I get rid of it? I already emptied my cache and cookies and checked for any unwanted extensions. I set my safari security setting to block pop-up ads, and I installed ad block. They're still there!
Also, I tried finding the source and I can't seem to figure out what's causing it. I'm 95% sure I deleted everything I installed earlier, but that didn't solve anything.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

How do I get rid of the start-up window?

I've just installed QuickTime, but when it started I was presented with a window full of advertising. I cannot find anything on the menu allowing me to disable that gross display. How can I get rid of this start-up headache? Thank you for any helpful advice you can render.

That does not work, actually. I've ben using QT PRo for ages, and ever since version 0, it NEVER saved or remembered my preferences. Once I set my preferences up, it does remember it for the current windows session. But once I restart my machine everything is back to square one. It's been like that for years, actually. This is very annoying sometimes. Makes you wonder if apple "engineers" know how to write code?

How can I get rid of ms Paint in windows 7?

None of the topics dealt with my question. I need to competely get rid of mspaint in windows 7 64bit. There has to be some way to do it! I just can'seem to find the way!

Since I see no reason to remove MSPaint I will at least tell you how to disable it, that way it can always be re-enabled in the future if need be.
I am assuming your using 64bit I'm going to assume your using at the very minimum Windows 7 Professional, while there does not seem to be a way to remove it without using a third party application it is possible to use Applocker policy to make it completely
none functional.
1. Open your start menu and type Local Policy in the search it should show the
Local Security Policy editor, select it.
2. In there open Application Control Policies (near bottom of list) under this you will
find Applocker, double click it.
3. Next double click Executable Rules so you see the right panel show blank space.
4. Now right click Executable Rules and select create new rule, this will pop a wizard up for you to use.
5. On the permissions page select "deny" Everyone, click next.
6. On the Conditions page select Publisher, click next.
7. In the browse window go here ----> C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe, now move the slider up to
File Name. Once you've done that click Create at the bottom of the window.
8. Now that you have created the rule, over on the left (back in the menu)
click on Applocker again, on the right in the center box click Configure rule enforcement this will pop a small window. Place a check in configured under Executable Rules, make sure the dropdown box says Enforce Rules click OK.
YOUR DONE!
P.S. If your really adamant about removing it then just use step 7 to find the file and delete it, but the above mentioned steps WILL make sure it can not be used at all even by someone that knows where this executable it even though it is still in it's
proper location.

I just upgraded iTunes to version 11, how do I get rid of shared music on my computer?

I have two computers in my house: my dad's, which is basically the family computer, and my personal one. I just upgraded iTunes to 11 only to find all the music on his computer is on mine as well, even though it wasn't there before. All of these new things have little cloud icons in the corner. I really don't want this stuff on my iTunes, but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I've tried deleting it to no avail, and I can't find any way to turn off the Cloud sharing. Is there any fix for this, or will I just have to downgrade to 10.7?

Every time I open the browser, a pop-up window asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?"
It is unnecessary and annoying to have to click "yes" each time.

Thanks for the help I'll keep the info just in case - but I got so frustrated that I just deleted the program and then re downloaded the current version now everything works fine.

How do I get rid of iCloud photo library beta?

the iCloud photo library beta seemed like a good idea - but it deleted all of the photo that had been automatically shared from my iPhone. Basically doing exactly he opposite of what I understood it to do. So I want it gone.

I came on this site for a similar reason. Where did my pictures go that I saw in my photo library prior to upgrading to this iCloud beta crap?

How do i get rid of icloud without losing everything

I inadverdantly installed the latest IOS 7 on my wife's ipad from work. She was asked not to install it because of concerns with icloud.
I am afraid if I delete the account it will lose a lot of information that she requires. I just don't want to make matters worse.
Thanks in advance

Just delete the account from the device in "Settings > iCloud" and if you miss something and need anything back, then you could still add the account back on again.
