How to turn off icloud

How to turn off icloud

Thank you. Simple and to the point, after ages of frustration trying to delete it from my MacBook I just had to delete it from my phone. It gives you the option to keep everything on your device, just delete the wireless copy.

  • I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

    Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
    Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
    I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
    I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
    And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
    So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
    Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.

  • How to turn off iCloud Mail in my online account

    My icloud.com, me.com and mac.com addresses get loads of junk mail so I want to stop using iCloud Mail. I've turned it off on my iMac. my iPad and my iPhone, but can't see a way to turn it off online so that any mail sent to it just goes into a black hole or, preferably, gets bounced back to the sender of junk.
    With thanks

    On the iCloud website, set up three Rules (click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose Rules) to move all messages addressed to [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] to the Trash. It will be deleted from there after 30 days.
    You can't set up an automatic bounce, but in any case please, never bounce spam. Most spam has forged 'From' addresses so all you are doing is sending yet more spam to totally innocent people (who are probably already getting a lot of bounces because of this) and making a bad situation worse. Even if the 'From' address is genuine, I very much doubt any spammer is going to remove your address from a huge list  (they certainly would get a lot of bounces from actually dead addresses) - and in any case they can probably tell it's not a genuine bounce easily enough, so now you've just confirmed that your address works. Don't bounce it - just delete and forget.

  • My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

    My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
    I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
    I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
    It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
    one more bug in a complicated system I guess

  • TS3988 How do I turn off iCloud and go back to the way I had it before?

    Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

  • I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
    To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
    1) Go into Settings > Store.
    2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
    3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
    4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.

  • I lose my iphone but i turn off icloud how i can use ( find my phone )   or another way or software

    i lose my iphone but i turn off icloud >> how i can use ( find my phone )   or another way or another sofware to find my iphone
    please help me

    You have to have iCloud enabled and Find My iPhone set to On on your iPhone in order to find it.  If you're saying you turned this off before losing it I'm afraid you're out of luck.

  • How do I turn off icloud on my iphone 4s? Can I still use Find My Phone?

    How do I turn off icloud on my iphone 4s?
    Can I still use Find My Phone?

    You cannot use Find My iPhone without iCloud.
    If you want to sign off of your iCloud account on your iPhone, you go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and sign out. It will ask for your password so it can turn off Find My iPhone before removing the iCloud account from your device.
    Cheers,

  • How do I turn off iCloud Drive?

    I don't like the idea of all my docs in the cloud.  I want to stop the syncing and just keep the docs on my computer.  However, when I try to turn off iCloud Drive it tells me that I'm going to be deleting everything from my Mac!  How do I stop iCloud Drive but keep my files secure in my Mac?

    The logic is that iCloud Drive is a hub for data shared among your devices, and the assumption is that if you delete something, you want it deleted. And practically, your file is treated as if the Drive copy is the only one. The Drive system may cache a copy on your device to allow easy, quick access, but the master copy is the one in the cloud. Delete the master copy and the cached copies have no "parent" and no way of maintaining any kind of sync.
    It's similar to using a corporate network drive to get access to your files from anywhere. Delete a file without making a local copy and it's no longer accessible.

  • Does anyone know how to turn of the pop-up iCloud log-in window on iPhone. I have no desire to use iCloud. I have turned off iCloud in settings but the pesky little critter is not deterred.

    Does anyone know how to turn off the pop-up iCloud log-in window on iPhone 5c. I have no desire to use iCloud. I have turned off iCloud in settings but that does not seem to deter the pesky little pop-up from continually asking me to log-in
    Thanks

    Pop up usually meant that icloud activation lock is still on on Apple servers. In order to deactivate you need to turn icloud back on by signing in and then sign out properly. For your sake I hope that you know the password.

    I have a need to stop Contacts from comunicating with iCloud from my PC with windows 7 how can I do this without turning off any other app in iCloud

    You can't just stop contacts syncing on your PC.  You would have to turn off iCloud syncing with your PC for mail, calendars and tasks too.
