HT204053 How do I delete my existing iCloud account (on ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??

How do I delete my existing iCloud account (across ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??
(cant seem to get calendars to ever sync right, on my devices, and across to my wifes'....so want to start with a "clean installation")

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
I also strongly suggest that you and your wife use different icloud accounts, otherwise all your devices will have the same data on them, same emails, reminders, etc.  Most likely not what you want.

  • How can I delete all of my calendars and start over from scratch?

    I am sure this is an easy question because it seems that others before me have probably been in this situation. I wish to delete my calendars (and todo lists, etc) in iCal. In essence I want to start over from scratch as if I had not yet used iCal.
    Do you have any advice on how I can go about doing so?
    Thanks!
    Rod

    Rod,
    Select the calendar(s) you want to delete in the Calendars list on the left side of the iCal window. Then hit the delete key or select Delete from the Edit menu.

  • HT204053 how can i delete my old icloud account from my iphone

    how can i delete my old icloud account from my iphone

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I delete an existing iCloud account and transfer everything to my new one?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts that now need extra storage... I only need 1 account. I ended up purchasing a plan for more storage on the 1st one and then my phone would no longer back up because it's running on the other account... Now it needs more storage!  Can you help me delete the one I don't use and make this all better?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
    You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
    Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
    Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
    You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
    As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

  • How do I ONLY sync my iPhone contacts with all my Apple devices and iCloud?

    The contacts on my phone are what I need and use and what I need to back up. I want these contacts on my iCloud, my Pad, and my MacBook Pro. How do I do this? I have connected my iPhone with iCloud, same with my iPad but all my contacts are messed up and out of date. So I have some contacts on my iPhone that are not in iCloud and hence not on my iPad or my MacBook. I am worried that when I get my new phone all of them will be gone as my Phone is only where everything is stored.
    How do I delete my contacts that are not on my iPhone, and then update all my devices to be in line with my iPhone ONLY.
    Help
    ... please.

    You need to provide some information.
    1. What model iPhone? running what iOS?
    2. Are you running Leopard 10.5.8?
    You can connect and sync using iTunes and back up your iPhone to your Mac. Without the above answers that's what you got.

  • How to delete an existing Icloud account?

    I am using Ipad Mini Retina.
    I want to delete an existing ICloud account that made in the very first set up of my Ipad. I cannot remember the password of this ICloud account.
    I am now using another Apple ID.
    My Ipad when updated into iOS8, always ask me to key in the password for the old ICloud account, this is very irritated.

    If the old Apple ID keep popping up maybe because you have apps that uses that Apple ID.
    You need to delete those apps and re-purchase them again using the new Apple ID.
    Note: Content bought using an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

    If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How do I delete my entire iCloud account?

    How do I delete my entire iCloud account?

    You can't delete an icloud account.  You can disconnect a device or computer from icloud.  (For example, on an iOS device, go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.)
    If you want to delete all the data on icloud, then there are several ways, but these require that you delete stuff one at a time or a group at a time.  Usually, using a computer is faster, since you can for example check multiple emails at once then delete them.
    To delete specific data files associated with a program or app, you'll have to invoke each app and delete the data.
