HT4436 I want to opt out of iCloud. How do I do this?

I updated to Maverick and suddenly iCloud is everywhere and there is no way to opt out as I was able to before. I don't want it being in charge of my files or passwords or anything. But it seems if I uncheck the items it decided to take over (Contacts, Documents, etc) my computer will delete them. I feel strongarmed into using iCloud.

Backup your data and sign out. Restore the data after you sign out. This is not complicated.

I want to opt out of iCloud.

I don't think I signed up for iCloud when I started up this new mac. I keep getting a notice on my screen, (really annoying, all the time) that iCloud is having trouble with the password. I have been ignoring it for some time but I want it to go away. When I went to uncheck "documents and data" from my iCloud it tells me that it will delete it from iCloud AND my computer! I don't know what is saved but I don't want it to delete ANYTHING from my computer.
How do I avoid this and not have iCloud in my life.
I don't use iTunes with my Apple id, I share my husbands and I am afraid it is also going to screw that up.
I am now on Mavericks.

Sadly, it deleted my whole calendar, even tho I only used it on the laptop. I am sure I will be missing documents, music, etc. I have been using Macs since 1991 and this incident just *****! I avoided this because I thought this would happen. I hate to update for this same reason.

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

Just got ipad mini and would like to remove old ipad from iCloud - how do I do this?

I just got an ipad mini and would like to remove my old ipad from iCloud (but keep the mini in the iCloud) how do I do this?

What is it you want to remove? You can remove the backup of your old iPad by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Documents>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your old iPad under Backups and scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Backup. To remove iCloud from your old iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account at the bottom. If you want to keep a copy of the synced data on your old iPad be sure to choose Keep on iPad when prompted.

The screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?

when I start the server, the screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?. The server has no video card.

What do you mean by 'out of sync'?
Try running the 'kickstart' using Send UNIX Command or while logged in to that server (ssh etc):
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent -menu -console
You might also want to trash /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist from the server..

Limited storage in iPhone so i bought 20g iCloud. how can i use this iCloud storage in my device to store music and photos?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could sign up for iTunes match and use iCloud photo library with optimisation enabled. The later will keep optimised photos on your device and iTunes match will let you access your whole collection and make room for newer content by removing older unplayed items.

It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10.

I just downloaded Google Chrome and use both Google Chrome and Firefox as my browser. However, whenever I click on an email link, it opens up Chrome and I want it to open Firefox. How do I fix this?

Go into FF Preferences & set it to be your default browser. This way when you click on an email link in Chrome, FF will open.

I have 2 accounts and want to delete/remove one. How do I do this?

I have 2 accounts and want to delete/remove one. How do I do this?

Look at Store > Purchased > Apps for each of the accounts in turn.
Media isn't really a problem, but as you've no doubt discovered updating apps from multiple accounts is unnecessarily complicated.

I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys. Don't want to use audio text. How can I get this back?

Hey there tjbliven,
It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
Siri settings - iPhone
To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
Turning Siri on or off
That should get the dictation feature back for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Go to Settings>Store, and if automatic downloads are turned on, turn them off on the iPad that you dont want the apps to go to.
