HT5527 Rather than turning off my iCloud Backup

Rather than turning off my iCloud Backup, Documents in the Cloud, and iCloud Mail, if I go over my iCloud limit, Apple shouldn't allow apps to turn on backup by default.

True, but I have an extremely long list of apps that require me to go through one by one clicking "off", then Turn Off & Delete".
Also. From now on, I will need to check very carefully that I don't go over my iCloud backup limit, else I will suddenly be without email.
Rant on. As an ex-iTools, MobileMe user who has been patiently putting up with Apple's pretty woeful cloud experience year in year out, I feel the least they could do is to extend the 20GB free storage indefinitely. Rant off
Cheers,

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

My wife's new iPhone was automatically backing up to iCloud. Now my 5mb limit is not allowing me to get my email. I turned off the automatic backup, but I do I get the storage capacity back?

Turning off automatic backup doesn't delete anything from your account, it only stops it from continuing to back up to iCloud. If you want to reduce your iCloud storage, this article provides some suggestions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

Everytime I go to turn on my iCloud backup I get "iCloud Backup Failed" any ideas as to what to do

Everytime I go to turn on my iCloud backup I get "iCloud Backup Failed" what to do

Gail from Maine,
Thank you so much in your continued efforts to help me out. Much appreciated.
Here is what I see..
Can't select the backup = I go to Settings>iCloud>Backup (shows off). I select > Backup(off)> and see iCloud Backup grayed out (not selectable).
I have plenty of storage available: Settings>iCloud>Storage shows 195GB Available
When I select: Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage> My iPhone does not show up under the backup list. I use this iPhone with iTunes (if that matters).
When I select: Settings>iCloud>Photos(On)> iCloud Photo Library (Beta) is selected on and shows "Uploading 1,131 items". But does not start upload and the message always remains the same. Tried shutting the Photo Library (Beta) on an off and no change. Also tried it after the reset and sow no difference.
On that same Settings>iCloud>Photos page there is a selection Upload to My Photo Stream. Prior to installing iOS 8, pictures I took with my phone would automatically copy over to the photo stream on the other 3 devices on my account when in the presence of WiFi. The other 3 still do it and are all running iOS 8. This iPhone stopped doing it after the iOS 8 Update and installation of iCloud. It was working before on iOS 7.
The only different app that this iPhone has is a WirWatch, which is used to receive pushed e-mails from work onto my computer. This App was there when I was running iOS 7. Don't know if it could be the reason. But none of the other devises have this feature.
Thanks,
Dan R.

Turn Off or Uninstall Backup Assistant

Is anyone aware of a way to turn off or uninstall Backup Assistant? There is absolutely no need for me to have it syncing contacts every day when my contacts are already synced with my google account. I'd prefer it not waste that data usage.
Thanks!

there is no way to turn it off or uninstall it from your phone, but you can stop data usage for it.
Log into backup assistant on the web, and remove all the contacts from it. With nothing to sync it will nothing will happen.
You do want to make sure that all contacts are in Google contacts before you wipe them out from backup assistant.
If you happen to do a factory reset at any time, when it asks to setup backup assistant, press cancel.......

If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account. (The BETA recently went past it's valid until date.) There are discussions about this issue. Otherwise... for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on. Use Google.

How can I turn off my ICloud account?

Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted.
If you want to keep photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account. If you want to save synced notes, open them and email them to yourself. You will be given an option to either keep or delete the rest of your iCloud data from your device when you delete the account.

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.
