How to change iCloud account without deleting all devices on iCloud

If I delete the iCloud account on my phone to use a separate one will my moms ipad still be on the original iCloud account once I delete it off my phone

When you delete an iCloud account from a device, that has no effect on the iCloud accounts on other devices or the content in that iCloud account. You are just deleting that account from that particular device.
Her content will still be in iCloud.

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.

I deactivated my apple id and want to add another id to my icloud acc,how can I do this without deleting all my data from my ph?

There is an option to delete the account, but then it says it will delete all my data, which I dont want to happen.

When you delete icloud account off your phone it will ask you if you want to keep or delete the data. You will choose to keep and will be ok. The only thing that will reset is photostream, so if that is a concern, back up your pictures.

HT2486 my telephone address book -- which I like to keep exclusively for my phone numbers -- keeps updating and adding my whole list of email and physical address contacts. It's clogging up my phone directory. How do I undo that without deleting all my

My phone (4s) is somehow adding all my email and physical mail address book contacts to my contacts in my phone, which I prefer to keep to telephone numbers only. How do I get all this stuff out of my telephone book and back to normal?

If renaming addressbook.data.previous to addressbook.data hasn't brought back your contacts, get rid of addressbook.data (drag it way or delete it) and rename addressbook.data.beforesave to addressbook.data
The rename process works for some people and not for others; I suspect it has to do with how soon after the problem they have tried it.
No, I didn't take your reply as being rude.
I don't know of any way of recovering anything from the skindexinverted file, and anyway I suspect it is litterally an index, and does not hold the full data. Certainly on my machine it is only 1/20th of the size of the data file.

How can i download music without deleting all that is on my ipod?

I am a new user and evertytime I download music, what was on the i pod disappears!
What am I doing wrong??
Pat

If you have your iPod set to update automatically, then it will make your iPod a mirror image of your iTunes library - when you delete a song or album from your iTunes library, it will remove that song or album from the iPod the next time you sync.
If you want to have a different set of music on your iPod than what's in your iTunes library, then you need to set your iPod to update manually. This will allow you to control your iPod and iTunes library independantly.
A word of warning though; it is important to keep a copy of your music backed up somewhere other than your iPod. If your iPod has a problem later and needs to be restored, any music on it that is not backed up elsewhere will be lost.
Cheers!

Can I delete an account without loosing all the emails?

I now haw 2 accounts in MacMail, each with their own handfull of mail. One account is for a now obsolete email address.
I'd like to delete it, leaving me with only the current and active email account / address. However, I can't loose all of the emails that at associated with the obsolete account.
Any way to delete the account without deleteing all of the messages associated with it?
Thanks,
Chris

First of all, quit Mail and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
If you create custom “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail and move there the messages currently stored in the account’s mailboxes, you won’t lose them as a result of deleting the account. How to do that is explained in the following Mail Help articles:
Creating a mailbox
Organizing your email
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Can I delete account without deleting messages?

I have old email messages from friends and family that I want to keep in my mail folders, but I no longer use that email account. Can I delete the account without deleting all the historic email associated with it? Or do I have to look at that now grayed account name forever in my sidebar?

thanks. That is just what I needed. I currently have three accounts, including the one I'm deleting.
If I understand you right, all I need to do is move all my messages out of the INBOX of the account I'm deleting, and into other folders I created under the ON MY MAC section. Deleted account messages will only be deleted from the INBOX. (well, HELP should have said so, instead it just said ALL mail from that account will be deleted).
Now, if I SENT mail from the account I delete, that account's mail in the SENT folder be deleted also because it has not been moved into a folder I created in the ON MY MAC section, Correct?

I had to change my apple ID now how do I update icloud without deleting all cloud data on the computer?

My provider is terminating email service so I had to change my apple ID. I did that in iTunes but now my icloud on my PC wants me to sign in under my old id, I don't see a way to update to the new ID without deleting all cloud data on the PC. Is there another way so I don't have to resync everything from the cloud?

Check the list in the link below, how to change all services, after you changed your Apple ID:
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
In particular, for iCloud:
Update your Apple ID or password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you're signed out, enter your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter your updated Apple ID or password.

I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

How do I transfer my data from one Game Center account to another without deleting all my achievements, scores, and friends?

I want to get a profile picture on my gamecenter but it won't work.I now want to change it without deleting all of my achievements, scores, and friends. Please help me!

You can't, all content is tied to the account that purchased / downloaded it and it can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

How do I get a new iTunes account to create a backup of what's on my wifes iPhone without deleting all the photos and stuff?

How do I get a new iTunes account to create a backup of what's on my wifes iPhone without deleting all the photos and stuff?

Well, I believe I found it.....
When I connect the IPhone the device name pops up under devices in the selection column. Right click on the device name and select "Back-up".....
If this is incorrect please let others know as I won't be able to because my wife will have destroyed all computers in the house for losing her data.

ICloud on my phone, and I want to delete his iCloud account, without losing all my data, including, my apps, contacts, calendar events, music. If I delete his account, will I still have everything saved from before?

My nephew set up his own iCloud account on my phone, and I want to delete his iCloud account, without losing all my data, including, my apps, contacts, calendar events, music. If I delete his account, will I still have everything saved from before deleting his account?? I don't want to lose a single thing...I'm afraid to delete his iCloud account, and risk losing EVERYTHING I have on my phone. Is there another way to save everything without the risk of losing everything from deleting his iCloud account?

Deleting the iCloud account from your phone only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with the account (that is, any data that is set to On in Settings>iCloud). However, when you delete the account you are prompted about what to do with the iCloud data. If you want to keep it on your phone, be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Also, be sure to save any photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else before deleting the account. To do this, open the photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Deleting the account will not touch any other data on your phone (music, apps, etc.).

You will have to remove one of the two versions, which one is your choice.

I have an imap account and deleted all mail from server. Once doing this all emails from my iPad -which was on a wi-fi- where automatically deleted. Fortunately these emails are still visible on my iPhone that was without connection. If I send all these emails to my iCloud account - they will remain into my outgoing folder until I open my wi-fi- …BUT will they be sent when I open my wi-fi connection, or since they are no longer on my server… be deleted for ever!?

This is how IMAP works, if you delete from one device it will also be deleted in the other devices.
iCloud do not backup e-mails.
