How do I remove ONE device from an iCloud account to a new one?

I am moving to college this fall, and want to separate myself and my apple devices (iPad 2 and iPhone 4s) from my family's apple ID. For a few years we've all shared a single ID for purchases of apps and music, as well as syncing our calendar events on our iPads. I just recently got an iPhone, and it bothers me that, having set it up under the same iCloud account, the contact list between me and my mom's phone is the same. I don't need all of her work contacts on my phone, nor does she need all of my friends on her phone.
I've been cautious, because I always knew I would create a separate account eventually - and I know purchases are not transferable. I haven't purchased any music on the iTunes store, and with the exception of two or three $.99 apps I've chosen free apps on my iPad and iPhone. I've created my own apple ID now, but what I want to do is change my devices from our family's iCloud account to my OWN...I'm not sure how to do this exactly.
I see a setting in the devices under Settings>iCloud that says "Delete Account" ....but I hesitate to press that - will it only delete the account on THIS device? Or does it remove the account entirely from all associated devices??
Thanks for your help!

Winston is correct, and that is exactly what you should do. This will allow you to sign in to your own Apple ID for iCloud.
There's a couple other places you will want to do the same thing:
-iTunes Store: Settings > Store > Tap on the Apple ID and chose Sign Out.
And possibly:
-iMessage: Settings > Messages > Receive At
-Facetime: Settings > Facetime

How do I remove a device from my iCloud account?

Hi, my daughters iphone is connected to my icloud account.
How do I remove her device from that account?
Thanks.

If you mean that she is sharing your iCloud account and you want to migrate her phone to a separate account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep on her phone to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll. If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you will need to open each one and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from her phone, not from iCloud; your device will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload her data.
Once your devices are on different accounts you can each go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from your account.

How can I remove a device from my iCloud/Apple ID?

Hi,
I merged my dad's iphone to my Apple ID a while back because he wants to buy an app and I have some credit left over so I let him used my ID on his device. Apparently, all my contacts, pictures from photo stream, and ical are now also in his device. And all his contacts, pictures, and ical are on mines. How can I remove his device from my icloud and Apple ID WITHOUT deleting anything? Like I just don't want him to get anymore of my reminders and contacts, and pictures? Because I'm afraid taht if I remove his iphone on my icloud, all the pictures/contacts/ical that he took and went to my device too will be deleted because those are some important pictures/contacts/ical?
I tried to manually delete some of my dad's contacts that was shared on my phone, it turns out that it got deleted on his phone as well and vice versa. How can I just completely cut him off of my icloud and ID without losing any of my and his contacts/pics/etc?

how do i remove photo's from my icloud account

If you mean from photo stream, open your My Photo Stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to delete, tap Delete. This deletes them from photo stream and from any devices syncing with your photo stream.
If you want to delete them all, you can go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click on your name at the top, click on Advanced, then tap Reset Photo Stream.

How can I remove a device from the iCloud?

I upgraded my iPad, replacing the old one, the new one does not sync with iCloud Drive, in other words my iPhone 6 used to sync data with the previous iPad.
I have already checked the iCloud login and made sure iCloud drive is on on both devices and made sure the app in question is also on on both devices.
I believe the reason is because now my iCloud account shows two iPads, the old and the new one.
How can I delete the old iPad from my iCloud account?

After logging into iCloud, you can select devices, and then remove the old device. Have you gone on the old device and disabled iCloud Drive, or signed out of iCloud on the old iPad. That would be the easiest I believe.

You need to log in to your icloud account on www.icloud.com

Sign in to icloud.com/find using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).

How can I remove safari data from shared iCloud account?

Before iOS 8 and family sharing I was using a single iCloud account shared among several Apple devices in my household. Now that we are all using our own separate Apple Accounts I want to delete shared data from other devices that were using my iCloud account. For example, my wife and I both have data synched with iCloud (the same account) for Safari. Now that her phone has been switched over to her own AppleID, I want to purge the data stored in my icloud account from her device. When I open Safari on my phone, I can see a list at the bottom of tabs that my wife had open on her phone at one time in the past. That list will never get updated now that she is using her own account. So how do I purge old data from other devices off my iCloud account?

If she's on a different account now, Safari data from the previous account should no longer be on her device. iCloud tabs, on the other hand, will persist from a device that is no longer sharing the account for 14 days, after which they are automatically cleared. (This is coming from iCloud, not from her device.) You might try waiting a couple of weeks and see if they aren't automatically removed.
If you're still concerned, you could always ask her to go to Settings>Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data. This won't clear her iCloud tabs from your device though; you'll have to wait for that.

Removing a device from my iCloud account

How do I remove my iPhone 4S from my iCloud account. I now have an iPhone 6+ and it lists both phones. Managing my account doesn't allow for this action.

Remove it from where exactly ?
If its backup then you should be able to do it in a device via Settings > General > Storage > Manage Storage > 'device'
If you want to want to log it out of your iCloud account then you can do it directly on the device > Settings > iCloud > Sign Out (or Delete Account depending upon its iOS version). Or if you have Find My iPhone enabled on it then you can log into your account in http://www.icloud.com and send a remote wipe message to the phone to put remove all content from it

How can I remove both the old (deprecated) sync account and the newer one from my device?

I want to remove both of the two Sync accounts from my device's system settings.
I'm using a kitkat based ROM: CM11 on a Samsung S2.
Thanks.

Thanks. This is what I tried before asking here, but now it worked because I removed the deprecated account first. Then, after a couple of crashes by the Exchange Service, both the profiles are gone. After all, CM11 are nightlies. :)

De-authorize it. Or check the instructions given in the Learn about link at the top of this topic. Also check the links below the heading "More Like This" on the right side of the page.
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

How do I remove a device from my iCloud Settings

I recently sold my iPad and restored the device in iTunes prior to selling it. The iPad no longer shows under Find My Phone on iCloud, but it is still displaying under iCloud Settings as one of my devices. How do I remove it so the new owner can use it on their iCloud account?

One person said that Apple support told them that it will automatically be removed when the new owner signed into a different iCloud account with it.

How do I remove a device from my iCloud?

Bought a new iPhone (5) and gave my old 3S to my hubby. Backed up and copied my info from old to new, but now if I edit old phone contents, e.g. contacts, it automatically changes new phone to match!!! Urgh!!!

Did you ever get a solution to this?
If you're talking about the devices listed in your settings on icloud.com, you can't remove a device if you no longer have it. (It requires signing out of the iCloud on the device itself.) Although I can't confirm it, one user reported that Apple support told them that it would automatically be removed when the new owner signs into a different iCloud account.

How can I delete linked devices from my icloud account?

Someone that I dont Know has sign in on an ipad. I've already changed my pasword but I still can see it linked. for example it apperar on my icloud tabs on safari. this really bothers me.
How can I unlink it?

Still seeing the other person's iCloud tabs does not necessarily indicate that they still have access to your iCloud account. iCloud tabs will remain for up to 7 days even if a device is no longer active on your iCloud account. After 7 days they should automatically be cleared.
