hi , i already get in to setting >Icloud> backup ,so what step should i do for my back up ?

You can't actually terminate an iCloud account, though obviously you can simply log out of it on all your devices and then ignore it in future.
I gather that the @icloud.com address is also the actual ID? You can't change that. However if your Apple ID that you use to log into iCloud is a non-Apple email address you can change that - please follow carefully the instructions here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudfaq2.html#6
If it's this non-Apple address which is compromised then changing the ID will solve that. If it's the @icloud.com address which is compromised then you cannot change that though you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
However if you add an alias the original address will still function, so if you are getting a lot of spam it will still arrive.
You can get a completely new iCloud account simply by creating a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com , for which you will need a new non-Apple address which has never been associated with an Apple ID.
You will need to sign out of the old account on all your devices and sign in with the new ID.
If none of this solves the problem and it is a security issue, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'.

  • How do I get rid of the iCloud Backup notification that's locking my iPad in order to connect to wifi and update?

    I just moved to a remote area, and it has taken a while for my internet to be hooked up. I haven't really used my iPad since I got here, but now that I have wi-fi I went to turn it on, and I got an iCloud Backup message that says, "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 7 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi." I hit OK but it won't go away, and I cant get into my settings or any other app while it's up. So, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get it connected to the wi-fi? I tried plugging it in, and it didn't work. I can't even turn it off...any ideas?

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This only restarts it; you won't lose any data by doing this.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

    Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
    If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
    You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.
    I'm not much at decoding kernel panic logs, but this line jumps out:

    Did you have a DVD movie in the drive at the time? DVD movie disks are UDF format, but not much else is.

  • I have a mac OS X 10.4.11 and have created a website in iweb08  ... in order to get it to my host site for it to go live I am having difficulty finding a ftp client to get me there. Can anyone suggest what I should do?

    Check if any of the below have an older version by contacting the author for your 10.4.11:
    http://www.rbrowser.com/
    http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu
    http://cyberduck.io/
    http://panic.com/transmit/

    Or use Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal to do command line FTP:
    http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-use-ftp-from-terminal-to-transfer-m ac-files.navId-400509.html
    Upgrading to 10.6.8 should still give you mostly the same compatibility as 10.4.11. Upgrading to 10.7 and above won't.

    Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up? I tried the steps for a factory reset given on this site, but it still does not want to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Hello otter314!
    Let's take a look into this to see if we can figure out what happened. When did this begin? What's the software version of the device? Do you remember what was happening with the device right before this started? Please supply me with some additional information, I'm happy to help with a resolution!

  • HT6150 Did the recent Mavericks update and now I am getting the screen "Setting Up Your Mac"  It has been this way for an hour...and nothing is going on.

    AS soon as I log in I get this screen  "Setting Up Your Mac..."
    It has been on the computer for quite a while and I can not get back to my desktop.
    Please help. thanks!

    Here was the answer I found that worked:
    Command-Shift-Option-Esc (hold for three seconds) for Force Quit the front-most application (Mac OS X v10.5 or later)
    That got to me a new page where I had to enter my security key chain ID, but then wouldn't go any further. So i have rebooted - and lo and behold it opened up OK. It has asked me for a security question, but it now seems to be working OK!! Thanks - hope you get your problem sorted also. I should have copied the name and did not...sorrry.

  • I can't get it to set a blank home page, and the instructions given for this don't work.

    The instructions say that if you want a blank home page, you should open a new tab, then click on the icon to the left of the space where the website name would be and drag it to the Home icon. Unfortunately, when I click on that icon, I can't grab and move it.

    Instructions work for me that you describe from
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
    perhaps drag the mouse a little faster.
    You could just just use '''about:blank''' as your home page

  • I keep getting server errors with icloud why and what can l do

    Can any one help me please

    That's an awfully vague question. What servers? Mail? Calendars? and what operating system are you using?
    I'm going to hazard a guess that you are having trouble with your email, and that you are using a pre-Lion system such as Snow Leopard. (If this guess is incorrect you're going to have to provide more details.)
    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    If you have Tiger you can set up mail manually, though no other iCloud facilities will work:

  • Want to get an iMac.  Budget - $2000.  What model should I get?

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I am new to iMac.  Want to get one between $1500-$2000.  What kind of software and hardware do I need?  I had a Dell before and AT&T is my Internet service provider.  I also connect the modem to my HDTV for videostreaming.  I have a HP scanjet G3110, do I need to buy a new scanner?  Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Ann Chan

    Ann,
    I strongly recommend that you should visit an Apple Store and speak to one of the sales consultants there. They can help you choose a machine that suits your needs and answer all of your other questions.
    Without having any idea how you will use the computer answering which iMac is best suited for your needs is impossible. If you don't have an Apple Store in your general area then you can either visit an Apple reseller or call Apple's online store. You can find the online store's phone number by visiting the store's home page and looking at the bottom of the page and clicking Contact Us under Customer Help. Because we don't know what country you are in we can't simply give you the phone number.
