I want to delete all of icloud and reinstall it. How?

For more than a week, iCloud has been deleting all of my emails as soon as received. I have spent MANY hours on the phone to Apple support.
I'm told they can fix it within 7 business days!!!
Can't I just wipe the system and start fresh?

Try resetting iCloud mail ...
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Switch Mail off then back on.
See if mail still gets deleted.

I want to delete all my contacts and resync..how do i do that?

i want to delete all of my contacts and resync to my yahoo ..how do i do that?

Hi,
I would imagine the best way would be to
connect your Ipad to your mac or pc
in the info page check the box next to "sync address book contacts"
tick "Yahoo address book contacts"
scroll to the bottom and under "advanced" check the box for contacts
sync
I strongly suggest a backup before you do all of this.
Let me know.

Help: iTunes wants to delete all my music and videos off of my iPhone!

I usually keep the option to manually manage music and videos on my iPhone. I only use 1 pc to transfer music and movies to and from my iPhone. Recently for some reason when I launched iTunes, an error message kept poping up repeatedly saying "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved." I fixed the error message by adjusting the user access privileges to my music folder.
Now my music library is completely empty in iTunes, but that shouldn't be a problem because I manually manage my music and videos. However, when I checked the iPhone page in iTunes, the checkbox for manually manage music and videos is unchecked.
So I went to go check the check box so that I can continue to add some more music and videos to my iPhone, however a message box pops up saying:
"The iPhone "my iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
I have about 12 gigs worth of music and videos which I have carefully hand picked over a period of about 3 months and now iTunes wants to delete all of it because it thinks I want to "sync with another library". I only hope someone can understand how frustrating this is for me. All I want to do is continue to be able to add music and videos to my iPhone without having to erase months worth of work putting the current music I have on there. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for your reply. I don't keep all of my music in the iTunes' designated music folder. I don't like the way iTunes reorganizes my songs and I keep all my music in my own self organized music folders as I don't use iTunes as my primary media application. Not to mention allot of my files come from all different corners of my computer's hard drive. It would literally take months to go through over 20 gigs of media files to pick out the songs I have in my iPhone library to rebuild an iTunes library. Like i said, I don't even use iTunes other than to transfer files to my iPhone. I thought the purpose of manually managing the files was so you don't have to sync it with the iTunes library but now it won't give my that option without requiring me to delete everything on my phone I worked so hard on.
What I don't understand is logically or technically why iTunes HAS to delete all the content off of my iphone. Who's decision in the Apple's software engineering department was to require the one's iPhone to be erased if someone loses their iTunes library? Its frustrating because it makes no sense and I feel as if the software is punishing me for reasons I don't understand by threatening to delete all my content off my phone. Is there absolutely no way to transfer my music to my iPhone without deleting everything currently on and completely rebuilding my music library from scratch?

Itunes iOS 5.0.1 update wants to delete all my apps and media. Think I have synced to a different computer

today I synced my iphone, it was updated with new iOS 5.0.1. I also changed my old apple ID to my e-mail address and made a new password as suggested.
I have two libraries in itunes on my computer. one for my iphone and one for my itouch. They are different. The sync and software update with my iphone went fine. But when I opened up the library for my itouch and tried to update and sync it I got this message.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Updating to iOS 5.0.1 will delete all of the apps and media. including iTunes Store purchases. on you iPod touch. To preserve your content. apply this update on the computer where you sync apps. music. videos. and photos.
Updating on this computer will only preserve contacts, calendars, text message, and other settings. Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete. iTunes will verify the software update with Apple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I cancelled out of that. I have never synced my itouch with another computer. What can I do to prevent itunes from deleting everything on my itouch?

Hi,
Have you backed up your iPod's data to your computer/iCloud? If so, it should be fine to update.
Also, it is possible (If you have iOS 5.0 already) to update iOS on your iPod without the need for iTunes: Check your iPod has more than 50% battery, open 'Settings' on your iPod and tap General > Software Update and iOS 5.1 should be there for you to download and install. That is how I did it and it only takes 5 minutes.
I hope this helps!

ICloud deleted all my contacts and photos. How can I get it back?

All my contacts and photos from my iPhone and from my ICloud webpage are gone.
I have an ICloud backup from yesterday morning so i tried restoring, but my contacts disappeared again after a few seconds. It says that i have 1000 photos, but I can't see them. All the pictures are grey and when I click on one it just says "loading" and nothing happens.
I kept getting a message to enter my ICloud password, so i did and maybe that could be the reason, or maybe it's because I charged my phone on my new macbook and it somehow deleted it all.
I don't have an ITunes backup, but if I have an old ICloud backup, shouldn't it be possible to get it all back?
I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos don't restore from back up, they restore after back up has completed, so it's quite normal to have to wait a while, especially if you don't have a reliable network.
To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

I want to delete all my photos and songs without reformatting

I've started a synch with my computer which I had to abort now I want to clear all the partially downloaded songs and photos and start again. Can I delete all these items without performing a total reset or having to delete them individually?

No.

Boot from the original OS installer disk and do an Erase & Install.
When the Mac reboots into Mac Setup Assistant Quit and shut it down.
When the New Owner Boots it up it's a brand new Mac... just like when you got it.

I have been looking for half an hour and I cannot find the bookmarks organizer. I want to delete ALL my bookmarks and I cannot do it. They are not in a folder so I cannot delete the folder. This interface is terrible.

No bookmarks menu. No relevant options on the "firefox button." No relevant context menus. Where is the bookmarks organizer? Not the toolbar on the left, I cannot use that to delete hundreds of bookmarks not in a folder.

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 and later.

Going mad! Please someone I want to delete all my calendars - and yes ....

My Iphone has somehow in addition to a work and a home calendar for my mobileme account - ended up with 12 (yes 12) sep. calendars under UNTITLED
I want to delte them but cannot so far - tried so many forums and solutions none which have worked.
I sync my Iphone via my pc as I wanted to use Outlook with it.
Can someone please help before I give up with calendars and sync in general

So what are you using at the moment? If it's iCal + MobileMe the best solution would be to wipe/delete the MobileMe account on your iPhone and set it up again.
If it's Outlook, Create a new calendar in Outlook and make sure it has blank records, sync it over via iTunes so the blank Calendar erases the current set of records on your iPhone, then sync back over the original Calendar.
Tell me if that works.

HT201250 I'm using Time Machine. Its Full. Deleting older backups as it goes. My desktop Mini is full. I want to delete all files on my computer. How will this affect Time Machine?

I'm really wanting to make room on my Mac Mini. I have about 70 gb left. I'm not sure what to do. I'm using Time Machine to regularly backup my computer and its already full and deleting older backups. I used to, in the past before Time Machine, just drag and drop files into an external hard drive and empty the file from my computer. Should I follow a similar procedure here? If I have time machine backup up, and I remove all my files from the computer, will Time Machine begin to backup a "clean" machine onto the external drive and begin deleting past backups? What would be the best way to approach my backups, remove all my files from my computer since a variation of them are already on time machine, and not lose viable backups? Thank you.

If you erase the hard disk and you install a new Mac OS X copy, Time Machine will start a new backup and will stop using all backups you made in the past.
One option you have is to reinstall Mac OS X and restore a Time Machine backup, but restoring only some files: for example, instead of restoring everything, restore only your user files, and not your applications, so you will have more free space. Also, doing this, Time Machine will continue backing up to your old backup, because Time Machine will detect that you have "the same computer with the same files and the same Mac OS X version", but it's not.
If you have more questions about Time Machine, see this site > http://pondini.org

Hi! I want to delete all locked files with one move.How can I do this?

Is there any one to know this easy way?

From the Terminal app, this should do the trick, but run it at your own risk:
rm -r ~/Library/Preferences/*lockfile

When in recovery mode you can't backup the iPod.
You will have to restore via iTunes. See:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I want to delete all my existing mail accounts and reset

I have three mail accounts. I want to delete all these accounts and set up a new account. How do I do this?

Shootist007 wrote:

I may add that this is true, but "only" for mails stored on the Mac, not for the mails stored on the server.
So, if it's IMAP accounts, it should not matter unless mails have been moved to mailboxes "On My Mac". Really careful with POP accounts if the mails in there matter!
Anyway, at least archiving mails before deletion, or even better, a proper backup, is mandatory.

TS4001 I have a book in Ibooks that I want to delete its in iCloud it keeps reloading I now have it six times I can delete three of them but as soon as I do it reloads from iCloud how do I delete it from iCloud

I have a book I want to delete in iBooks I can't delete it because iCloud keeps reinstalling it how do I delete it from iCloud

Welcome to the Apple community.
The books are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the books in the Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.
Alternatively, create another category in iBooks and just put the books you want in there and ignore the purchased books category.
