HT4759 if i delete my backup on my phone will it delete everything off my icloud?

im trying to download ios 7 so i want my phone clear & i want to know if i can delete the backup on my iphone 4? o will it delete everything on my icoud?

Go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then sign back in with the ID of the account you want to use.  It only deletes the account from your device, not from iCloud.  This won't effect any other devices you may have that are still using the account.

  • HT4847 Turning off camera roll iCloud backup on my phone will not delete any pictures already on my computer will it?

    Just wondering if turning of the camera roll iCloud backup on my phone will affect any photos on my iPhoto on my MacBook? Thanks in advance

    No.

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

    It will only sync what you have selected to sync.
    Your subject question and the question in the body is not the same.  Which is your question?
    Deleting on iPhone has no effect on your computer.

  • Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan, I want to delete my iCloud account on this phone, will delete my iCloud account too? And what about deleting my personal datas on iPhone, will it delete my data on iTunes?

    Help! I am giving away my iPhone 3Gs to my sister along with it's data plan. I want to delete all of my personal data on my phone, will it delete my data on iTunes too? And same goes for iCloud; I want to delete my acount on my phone because, I guess this is a more convenient way to delete my personal data but I'm not sure if it will delete my iCloud account too or not because I'm getting an iPhone 4S and I'm hoping, the back up data like games & apps and music on my 3Gs will be transfered to 4S.
    Thanks!

    All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.

  • HT1688 I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account.  But my phone will not delete a mail account.  And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

    I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account.  But my phone will not delete a mail account.  And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

    Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

  • HT204022 I have 1200 pics on camera roll and 900 on photo stream. 1. why are they different? 2. if all are supposedly backed up on iCloud if I delete all photos on my phone will they still be on iCloud or do I need to separately download them to my pc fir

    I have 1200 pics on camera roll and 900 on photo stream. 1. why are they different? 2. if all are supposedly backed up on iCloud if I delete all photos on my phone will they still be on iCloud or do I need to separately download them to my pc first?

    Photos are only uploaded to iCloud after photo stream is enabled.  It's possible that you already had 300 photos in your camera roll when you turn it on so they weren't uploaded.  Also, photo stream also only maintains photos for 30 days, although earlier photos already streamed to your device from photo stream are not deleted.  If you had turned photo stream off, then back on, and the 300 photos fell outside of this 30-day window at the time, they would not be in your photo stream album.  (FYI, photo stream will also only save the last 1000 photos.)
    If you delete the photos on your phone from the camera roll album, photo stream will be not be effected.  If you delete them from the photo stream album on your phone, they will be deleted from your photo stream on your phone and any other devices connected to the same iCloud account/photo stream.
    To keep your camera roll photos permanently, don't rely on photo stream as a backup.  Import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

  • I have enabled iCloud on my iPhone. In case i delete the photos from my phone would they still be on my iCloud account or will it sync and delete it on iCloud as well?

    Hello lonestar17,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you are curious about how iCloud stores your photos.  Photo Stream stores your photos temporarily so that you can have time to sync them to your computer, but the photos will expire after 30 days:
    Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
    No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.
    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .

  • If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

    If I delete iCloud from iPhone 4 phone will this delete everything from my new upgraded iphone 5 ?

    No. You can delete your iCloud account from your iPhone 4  and the information will remain in iCloud either through syncing or through a backup.or through both features.  Just make sure you have a recent backup.

  • Mail on my iPad 2 is no longer working after latest update. If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before?

    Mail on my iPad 2 has stopped working since the latest update. The symbol is on the screen in its' usual place but it either opens briefly, just showing the blank framework for Mail before suddenly quitting, or all the App symbols disappear completelly from the screen. I'm not confident that i know what to do! If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before? Looking at an earlier question along the same lines it doesn't appear that that would make a difference. If I reset the whole thing will I lose all my documents, photos etc.?
    i'd be extremely grateful for some clear guidance!

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

    Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
    There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

  • How can I delete an email on my phone without it deleting the email on my company exchange server?

    How can I delete an email on my phone without it deleting the email on my company's exchange server?  Every time I delete an email on the phone, the email is placed in the Deleted folder in my Outlook email.

    Blackberry ran all your email through its own email servers. This gave you some features that you otherwise would not have had. However, it also left you vulnerable to BB's service outages.

  • I just upgraded to IOS 8 and a ton of pictures appeared on my iphone from my computer. I want them saved in my iphoto but not on my phone. If I delete them from my phone will they delete on my computer?

    I just upgraded my iphone 4S to IOS 8 and a ton of pictures appeared on my iphone from my computer. I want them saved in my computer iphoto but not on my phone. If I delete them from my phone will they delete in iphoto on my computer?  They are taking up a lot of memory.  Thanks

    No they will not delete.  If you are nervous about that, connect your phone to your computer and import the photos into iPhoto and drag them into a new folder on your desktop.
