I want to remove iCloud (shock, horror) because its like pulling teeth...

Hi..
I wish to delete iCloud and revert to my mac running as before. This is because of many issues but mostly because my mac (which has been trouble free for 3/4 years) is behaving badly, as well as my other devices. So much so that I am sending it to its room until I resolve things.
Everything has slowed down so much its like walking uphil through treacle. The amount of free memory seems to have a mind of its own changing frequently from 21GB down as low as 2GB as one alarming stage. (The total memeory on my mac is 319GB). Seems to always be something going on in the background (you can hear the little virtual brain ticking over and over).
Now none of the above may have anything to do with said Icloud....but.....
I would rather delete the icloud bit and see if that makes the difference.
I can always get on board the cloud express again later.
My questions are...
1. How do I remove Icloud from my mac, my phone and my ipad....
2. Will I lose anything on my mac by doing so. My mobile me account naturally stopped the moment I jumped aboard he party
Thank you
Kevan

About email - iCloud provides an email service use the me.com and mac.com addresses. If you are using these for your email account, then yes, emails will be lost. If you have a different email provider, like gmail or a corporate account, then they have nothing to do with icloud and will not be lost.
Abour documents - you'll lose anything that has been copied to and stored in iCloud. If you copied Pages documents to iWork in icloud, then be sure you have local copies.
About calendars, contacts - If you look in your mac's applications (iCal, Address book), you'll find calendars and contacts listed under either "On my mac" or "icloud", just drag everything in icloud to on my mac. However, I believe that if you try disconnecting from icloud, you'll be given the chance to have all the data kept locally on your mac. -- hopefully Winston will see this and comment. Or anyone else??

iTunes in the Cloud is a free feature that gives you access to your past purchases which you can then download to your library or stream. You can disable the display of Cloud items by going into iTunes preferences from the menus or press Control-Comma, then select the Store tab and untick Show itunes in the Cloud purchases.

I want to remove iCloud. How?

I wish to delete iCloud and revert to my mac running as before.
I tried to use as a primary email, chat and buy more storage with my AppStore's credits. Nothing worked.

Go to Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud. Then click Sign Out. Note that this will remove your calendars and other synced data from your Mac, though it will remain on the iCloud server.

I want to remove bind variables in my data like & and many

I have a field that holds description of a code and this is having bind variables (special characters). I need to remove them and replace with no value.
I was trying with following sql and the dialog box (Enter Substitution Variable)is opening when I tried to execute the sql.
select regexp_replace('B VOC AC & HEATING (*[[:punct:]])', '') from dual;
please provide me the SQL how to do this
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It looks like your question is about Substitution Variables, that typically look like &start_date or &1. Bind Variables are completely different.
By default, SQL*Plus, and some other front ends, expect that & will be followed by a substitution variable name. If you're not using substitution variables, and you want to treat & as a normal character, then use Pablolee's suggestion. SET DEFINE OFF will make SQL*Plus treat & as a normal character until you end the SQL*Plus session, or you explicitly cancel it by saying SET DEFINE ON.
By the way, did you mean to call REGEXP_REPLACE with 2 arguments, like you posted
select regexp_replace('B VOC AC & HEATING (*[[:punct:]])', '') from dual;
or with 3 arguments, something like this
select regexp_replace ( 'B VOC AC & HEATING'
                       , '(*[[:punct:]])'    -- Round parentheses, '(' and ')', are not doing anything in this case
                       , ''                  -- NULL might be clearer
from    dual;
? Also, '*' in a regular expression p
attern, means "the last item can occur 0 or more times". In your code, there isn't any "last item" before the '*', What are you trying to do? Post some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) for a few different sample cases, and the results you want from that sample data.

I think such is not possible. Your account can be only access if they know your password/new password. have you have the autologin option enabled in your computer?

I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. Thoughts?

I cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4 because I wanted to remove the songs from my phone's storage (I had previously downloaded them) because I wanted to clear storage space. I now want to access the playlist via iCloud and can't. In other words, I want it to sync with the playlist as it exists in iTunes Match. Thoughts?

Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
Empty Camera Roll.
Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.

Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again? Is there some way around this? I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand. It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet? Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

I want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
Regards.

You can't do that. iCloud does function that way.

Bought cell off kijiji now the owner doesn't want to remove from ICloud

I Had bought a iphone 5c said it was locked so I paid for it, now he doesn't want to remove his account or this cell through ICloud now what?

Deal with the seller or kijiji - if they offer buyer protection. If seller refuses to help,
turn the iPhone into the police with all the information you have about the seller
as the iPhone is most likely stolen. Apple will not help in such matters. Only the
person who initiated the Activation Lock can remove it.

TS4009 How do I remove iCloud? Don't want it at all...

Please someone tell me I can remove iCloud from my iPad?

I tried to remove iCloud but I can't right click to get the "delete" function. Is there another way??
Multiple times each day I get a prompt from iCloud asking me to accept terms and conditions. In fact, I don't accept their terms. I don't want the service. This feels like unfair business practises.
Very annoying.
