How do I discontinue iCloud?

Just keep in mind since this is a free account, there is no subscription to cancel.  It will stay available for use if you want to go back to it later.
I found it consumed a large amount of bandwidth. My average upload went from 500mb in a 30 day period to over 2GB. Being on satellite modem, I'm capped, I had to come off. And, I wasnt' synching iTunes. 
It took several attempts to finally disable it. Basically you have to back up everything that syncs turn off iCloud on everything. Note it is in preferences but it is also tied to mail so make sure you disable everywhere.

    itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts.  It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users.  That way you share purchased items.  But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.

    It sounds a bit like a compatibility mode may have been set for iTunes.
    Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • HT1338 running OS X 10.5.8 on macbook, want to install iCloud, how can I upgrade

    How can I upgrade to install iCloud?

    If you don't have at least a Core2Duo MacBook, you won't be able to use iCloud in Mac OS X. A CoreDuo or CoreSolo MacBook is not compatible with 10.7.  It is compatible though with Windows 7, which is compatible with iCloud.  Some iCloud services work with pre-10.7.2 systems, but not all.
    Rosetta is not compatible with 10.7.  So you won't be able to run applications made for pre-2006 Macs.
    That said, read these tips for upgrading to 10.7:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
    10.8:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
    And getting iCloud
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2551
    Some links on the iCloud tip that may be useful no longer work, so asking on the iCloud forum is probably best:

    If you are trying to download apps over 20MB in size, you can't do it via 3G. You can download them via WiFi.

  • I recently upgraded to iOS7 on my iPhone 4s.  My pop mail account is downloading all of the emails on my server instead of allowing me to specify how many I want to see.  How do I set that now?

    I now have 12,000 unread messages on my iPhone 4s.  it used to be that i could specify how many it would download.  That option seems to be missing.  I tried edit the emails, selecting them all and then marking them as read.  Their status updated (no blue dot), but the mail app still lists those emails as unread.  It's a little disorienting to see a red number on my mail app indicating i have over 12,000 unread emails.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • The back/forward buttons on the tool bar only go one page at a time. I used to be able to click a drop-down and select how far back/forward I wanted to go. How can I get that back

    I can only navigate back/forward one page at a time. The drop down box that used to allow me to see the recent pages and select the page I wanted to go to was immediately to the right of the "forward" button. I can right click over the forward/back buttons and get the dropdown list of recent sites.

    Use right-click on the back/forward buttons to bring up the context menu, the drop down was never needed, and I had suppressed it for a long time to save space.
