HT4436 how do I disconnect a device from iCloud

How do I disconnect a device from iCloud and not lose all of my contacts, etc?

Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on your device.  After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.

  • How to delete an old device from icloud

    I have an old iPhone 5 that I sold listed on my device list.  I would like to delete it but don't know how.
    I sold the device and reset it.  I am running Yosemite 10.10 and IOS 8.

    There is no software function that allows you to this.
    Exit from the Desktop Manager.
    You need to go into the Documents and Settings Folder, your user, Application Data, Research in Motion, Blackberry Desktop, Devices, and then delete the folder that has the PIN number of the device you want to delete.
    That wil do the trick.
    Turn on DM 6.0 and the unwanted device will no longer be there.

  • How do I remove a device from iCloud?

    Ok, this is definitely a new issue that I've experienced that I haven't seen before:
    I recently sync'd my friend's iPhone 4S to my computer so he would have some music on his device. He hasn't created an Apple ID yet, and I made sure that I did not sign into his device with my Apple ID. However, now he gets notifications sent to him asking if he wants to download a song I recently downloaded on my iPad! Of course he can't because he doesn't know my Apple ID or it's password, but he's tired of getting notifications each time I download a song to my device.
    I did go to www.icloud.com/find to see if his device is listed, but it's not there, so I'm not sure what to do here.
    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    Hi Michael,
    I have recently upgraded the iphone. After setting up and checking my account i discoverd that my old phones contents in the icloud were still there. This takes up 2.2g of space. I have tried to delete the account from the old iphone, deactivated from itunes and also tried to delete from icloud dashboard. It just responds with an unknown error and to try later.
    Any suggestions?
    Hope you can help!
    Thank you.

  • How do I remove previous device from iCloud account? (It is removed from Find My iPhone and iCloud Backup)

    I recently got a new iPhone and traded in my old one. At the store, the representatives erased the contents and settings of the old phone (though they did run into some difficulties because of a pre-installed profile and I think were successful after a few attempts) and removed the SIM card. However, the old device keeps showing up on my iCloud account. I removed it from Find My iPhone and deleted the stored backup for the phone, but it's still there. I've talked with Apple Support about it as well as called the store on what I should do. Apple cannot remove the device on my account for me (which is fair), but I think it's strange that I can't remove my own device either. It won't give me any option to.
    The Apple people reassure me not to worry and that everything is probably "fine", but I don't like this uneasy feeling that my iCloud account (and who knows what other data) might have an open connection or hole somewhere that I'm not aware about.
    Please help!

    Some people I've talked to speculated (but could not confirm) that this "glitch" would be fixed once someone registered their own iCloud account to the old device; this would force the old device to be removed from my iCloud account and transferred to the new user. How long have you been experiencing this "glitch"? I'm guessing if Apple calls it a glitch on iCloud, it won't be fixed any time soon...

  • How do I detach a device from my mac?

    How do I detach a device from my mac laptop?

    Since there is no disk mode for the iPod touch like older iPod models used to have, just pull the USB plug or click on the eject button next to your iPod in the device list in iTunes.
    Before you disconnect, make sure there is no sync process started or still going on.

    how do i disconnect a library from my ipod when my desktop won't power up. i need to link my new laptop library to the ipod and move the music from my ipod to the laptop

    This will transfer/copy music from the iPod to the computer like I said in my first reply.
    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:

    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud?

    How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud?  The RSS feeds now show up just fine on my iMac. 
    On my iMac the appear in a category at the same level as In Box, Sent, etc.  However the term RSS is in lighter grey like Mailboxes, On My Mac, Reminders.  I use Snow Leopard 10.7.5.  Any help will be appreciated as I'd like to read the feeds on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5 when I'm away from home.
    Thank you.

    This is helpful, but how do you get both devices to communicate to this single calendar via the iCloud?...
    You did not mention that it must be through iCloud.  But then, it can't really do so if you want to maintain separate Apple IDs.
    So you just set up an additional calendar on your devices.
    iPads, iPhone, Macs can show multiple calendars simultaneously.  I have my work calendar and several personal calendars all showing simultaneously on my iPad, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro.   In the case of my client, they didn't need multiple calendars.  They just were going to use the one shared calendar.  But I did setup the shared Google calendar and separate personal caldendars on their iPhones.  (e.g.: Husband's iPhone = husband's personal Mac Cal + shared Google Calendar.  Wife's iPhone = wife's personal Outlook for Windows Cal + shared Google Calendar.)

    If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it. 
    To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

  • How can I remove a device from my iCloud/Apple ID?

    Hi,
    I merged my dad's iphone to my Apple ID a while back because he wants to buy an app and I have some credit left over so I let him used my ID on his device. Apparently, all my contacts, pictures from photo stream, and ical are now also in his device. And all his contacts, pictures, and ical are on mines. How can I remove his device from my icloud and Apple ID WITHOUT deleting anything? Like I just don't want him to get anymore of my reminders and contacts, and pictures? Because I'm afraid taht if I remove his iphone on my icloud, all the pictures/contacts/ical that he took and went to my device too will be deleted because those are some important pictures/contacts/ical?
    I tried to manually delete some of my dad's contacts that was shared on my phone, it turns out that it got deleted on his phone as well and vice versa. How can I just completely cut him off of my icloud and ID without losing any of my and his contacts/pics/etc?

    how do i delete a device from my apple id?

    Hey tippybarnes123,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.  To answer your question about removing the Apple ID from the device is to sign out of the account on that device. The following article will walk you that.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
    If it is for the computer, the following article will walk you through that process.
