HT204053 how do I open my icloud on my iphone 4s?

I have tons of pictures and I would like to free up space on my phone, so is icloud a safe place to do tha? and how do I do that? Thanks

Think of iCloud as a syncing service, not a backup service (although it will back up your phone).  It will not permanently store your photos.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  And photos stored in your backup will be overwritten when you delete them off your phone and back up again.
There are other cloud-based services you can use for this such as Dropbox, or an image hosting service such as Flikr, Picassa, Smugmug, etc.

    How does one open an Icloud Account?

    You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  You do this by going to Settings>iCloud (on an iOS device) or System Preferences>iCloud (on a Mac) and signing in with your Apple ID.
    Once you create your account you will then be able to sign into the account using the ID on your PC.

  • How do I open up  Icloud?

    1) I'm trying to put my ITunes songs on ICloud by using ITunes Match.
    How do I open up ICloud to see what is in there? I want to see what is actually there - which of my songs from my ITunes library are there.
    I have an IMac. I just recently downloaded Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 before I did the iTunes Match and iCloud. (I previously had Snow Leopard OS).
    2) My playlists in ITunes now have  4 lines (a musical bar) and a musical note to the left of the name of each playlist. Does that mean the playlist  is in ICloud? If not, what does it mean?

    1) OK, but how do I know which of the songs I have in ITunes is also on the icloud?
    2)  I have another question.
    I have added a song to my ITunes Music. (On my IMac).  I then tried to add that song to one of my playlists on ITunes (again on my iMac).  But it would not do it. I received a message that says:
    "icloud playlists can only contain songs from your icloud music library. If you continue then
    (this particular playlist)
    will be removed from icloud and will only be available on this computer."
    How can I get this song on icloud so that I can then add it to my iTunes playlist?
    Will it then let me add that song to the Itunes playlist if it is on iCloud?

  • How do I delete my icloud account from Iphone ios 7.

    How do I delete my icloud account from Iphone 5 using ios 7. I need reinstall this because my apple ID is linked to a different email now. When I try to delete the account from my iphone it requires a password to authorise this, but the password doesn't work with old email ID. There doesn't seem to be a way of changing the old email ID on my iphone. My new Apple ID works ok on itunes etc. does anybody have a solution? Thanks Russ

    If you can't reset password - contact Apple, may be they can help you if it is your account.

  • 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 can i delete an icloud accout from iphone 5 (ios 7.0.4)and insert a new one ???

    You'll need to contact the previous owner to get them to remove the account.
    There is no way to bypass this security feature. If you can't contact the previous owner you have wasted your money and have a phone you'll never be able to use.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once three iCloud accounts have been created on any iOS device, it can you no longer be used to create any more accounts, regardless of what you do to it. You will need to use a computer or another iOS device to create your account and then use the details to log into your account on your phone.

  • HT204053 How can I change my iCloud email address

    How can I change my iCloud email address

    Unfortunately it is not possible to change your primary mac.com or me.com email address for iCloud (See also Apple's FAQ: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs cannot be renamed), but you could stop using this account and create a new one.
    Another option would be to create up to three email alises for your current primary email address.
    Try this to create a new alias for your me.com address:
    Open the web interface of iCloud "www.icloud.com" with Safari
    Log in
    Open "Mail"
    Open "Preferences" (by clicking on the little button in the upper right corner)
    Go to "Accounts"
    Click on "Add an alias" (it would be another me.com address, you can not create new mac.com addresses since MobileMe was launched)
    Finished
    By the way: If you want to set up iCloud on your Mac you need Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

    To change the ID for:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
    iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.

  • HT204053 how can i move an icloud email address from one ipod to another?

    Hi
    My kids have ipods and wanted icloud activated.  Foolishly I set up an icloud email account but used my son's name on my daughter's ipod.  How can I switch the icloud email account to my son's ipod?
    Thanks,

    I don't really understand iCloud, but I have an Apple ID since both my kids are underage (8 and 11).  They share my Apple ID, but have different Ipods.  Can/Should I have separate iCloud emails for them?  To recap, I have 1 Apple account, but have 2 kids, a boy and a girl.  How do I have separate id's for their individual ipods using icloud when I have one Apple ID?
