HT204053 How do I delete all Icloud stuff

How do I delete all Icloud stuff

You'd have to go into the various apps on a device that is also stored on iCloud and begin trimming files.
Backups:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud.  Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data.  Then delete the backup.  That will free up space.  Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn that feature on. 
Emails:
Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device.  That can also save a lot of space.

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • How do I delete all ICloud emails at once?

    It's ridiculous how difficult it is to find an answer to this problem. How do I delete ALL of my iCloud emails from my inbox on my iPad at once? I already know how to delete individual emails, but there is no "delete all" option anywhere under the edit screen. Apple.com's answer was to click on the first one and shift click on the last one. HELLO!!! There's no way to shift-click on an iPad in that screen. Crimony.

    Hey Koyster,
    Great question. Utilizing iCloud.com, we may be able to purge these emails in a much faster way:
    iCloud: Delete email
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2651
    Delete messages
    - On your Mac, Shift-click to select multiple adjacent messages or Command-click to select multiple nonadjacent messages.
    - On your Windows computer, Shift-click to select multiple adjacent messages or Control-click to select multiple nonadjacent messages.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT204053 How can I delete my iCloud account which I do not remember anything about the information that I entered about 4 years ago. It always asks my birth date but it seems I did not enter my correct date how can I bypass this question???

    How can I delete my iCloud account which I do not remember anything about the information that I entered about 4 years ago. It always asks my birth date but it seems I did not enter my correct date how can I bypass this question???

    You cannot delete the account from the server (partly to prevent the username from becoming available again and some-one else using it to pretend to be you).. Having disengaged your devices from it, go to http://icloud.com and delete any data in there such as contacts and calendars. Then just ignore it.

  • I'm replacing my 3rd gen Ipod Touch with a 4th gen. How do I delete all my stuff off the 3rd gen but have it available for my 4th gen on my PC?

    I'm replacing my 3rd gen 16gb Ipod Touch with a new 4th gen Ipod Touch. I'm wondering how I can delete all of the apps, photos, music, etc.
    from my old Ipod but still have all of the items available to install on my new Ipod?  Help please!

    Right click on your old iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases". This will copy all bought media from your device to your iTunes library.
    Back up manually by right clicking again and choosing "backup" to save all settings, 3rd party app data, contact info, calendars etc. The content of a backup is also described here: iTunes: About iOS backups
    After that set it up "as new device", to delete everything and get it back to factory settings.
    Connect your new iPod, let iTunes set it up and use the manual backup from your old iPod to restore from. This should sync all data back to your new device again.

  • HT204053 How do I delete all my email addresses on my IPad mini and start to use iCloud as my only email address?

    How do delete all my email addresses such as hotmail,outlook and use iCloud address as new email and install on my Pad?

    First, have you considered the case where new emails are sent to you at the addresses whose accounts you want to remove from the mail client?  By removing the accounts, you will accumulate emails but will never see them - is that okay?
    Settings>Mail,Contacts<Calendars, in the Accounts section, tap an account, like hotmail, and on the new screen, tap Delete Account.
    In the Accounts section, tap Add Account... to add the icloud email account.

  • HT204053 How can I delete an icloud account on a particular device?

    I had bought an Ipda and signed in with my apple id/icloud id. I have recently given that ipad to my mom and got another one for myself. I want her to keep that apple id and iclould account and i want to create a new icloud id for myself on my new device. The problem is on the new device i had already signed in with my icloud id and apple id. Is there a way to delete the icloud id account on the new device and sign in with another one without deleting all of the content in the cloud so my mom doesn't lose anything on her ipad? i dont mind if things get deleted from the new ipad i am using.
    thank you!

    Sure, on your device, just go the the iCloud account in settings, select it, then choose delete at the bottom.  That removes it form your device, but does nothing to the iCloud account itself.  Other than mail, nothing will change on your device, and absolutely nothing will change on your Mom's device.
    Now log back in with your new AppleID and it will create a new iCloud account for your device.
    If you had a backup of your device in the old iCloud account, your Mom can go into her storage settings on her iCloud account on her device and delete your backup file (or you could delete it from your device before you delete that iCloud account).

  • HT204053 How do I delete an iCloud account if I can't remember the password? I have a new Account and want THAT one on my iphone.

    I tried to use backup info in so many different areas....and I CAN NOT GET THE RIGHT PASSWORD.
    I NEED TO OVERRIDE ICLOUD TO DELETE THE ACCOUNT IM LOGGED INTO.
    I want to sign in using an account I recently remembered all information for.
    SOMEONE HELP.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • How do I delete all iCloud accounts from different places to consolidate them? Also one of the email addresses is locked so will the material bought from iTunes there be acceptable? Thanks.

    From the title of the above problems the iCloud accounts are on 2 PCs and one iPad2.

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account").
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    You'll need to decide whether to keep info on the device or merge it at the appropriate time when prompted.

    thank you so much!!!!
    Well, yeah.  You want to create separate accounts for each of you, using individual Apple IDs.  I know mothers and daughters like to share clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. but don't share Apple IDs.

    If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account.  The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days.  When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.
