I would like to not use the i cloud and just go back to the way my phone was before

I recently upgraded to the 6.1.3 OS and then proceeded to lose all of my contacts. My fault for not backing up!! But, I also ended up having the i cloud and I really don't want it. I don't need any more complications. I would like to delete the icloud from my phone and just go back to what I had before. I have backed up now but the contacts are lost forever. But, i cloud is just one more thing to learn, worry about, eventually pay for etc. and it is not important to me. I don't do movies or music. Just use the phone for calls and email.

You don't 'pay' for iCloud, unless you voluntarily upgrade from the free 5GB of storage.
Also, having iCloud automatic backup on, with Contacts set to 'On', means that your Contacts will backup to the iCloud... which means if you lost them off of your phone, you could retrienve them.
Read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859 and then decide if it's right for you. There are ways to back up your data to prevent accidental loss. Use them.

When I try to use spellcheck, I get the "Cannot find the User dictionary". It has always worked in the past and when I go to choose the main dictionary, it just goes back to the same line, cannot find user dictionary.

When I try to use spellcheck, I get the "Cannot find the User dictionary". It has always worked in the past and when I go to choose the main dictionary, it just goes back to the same line, cannot find user dictionary.

Have you ever created a user dictionary? You have to manually create one, AppleWorks won't do for you. The user dictionary & any other dictionaries belong in the AppleWorks Essentials folder which belongs in the AppleWorks 6 folder in Applications.
Deleting & reinstalling AppleWorks from the original disk will not delete your files unless you have saved them in the application folder. The Mac OS creates a separate Documents folder for your files & that is where the documents you created should be.
Unless all of your documents are AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, Pages alone is not sufficient. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.

Try a Reset of your Device...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If I reset photo stream will the photos in my camera roll be deleted as well or will they stay in the camera roll and just be removed from the photo stream?

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you reset photo stream from the iCloud.com website, the photos will remain on your various devices, unless you also disable photo stream synchronisation and then turn it back on again.

I would like to buy used Ipad 3 32 or 64 GB.It is cash deal and no warranty. What are the things I should check and how to do it ?

Make sure it is in perfect working order before you turn over any money.
Test connected to Internet.   Test Safari and several other apps for crashes.
If it passes this test, it must now have find my iPhone turned off by the seller.   They must also remove the device from their iCloud account.
*****Please observe this.   If the seller can't turn off find my iPhone, then it is not his iPad to sell.   It will lock when you try to activate and will be worthless.****
If this is the owner of the iPad he can also remotely erase the iPad with iCloud.

I have OSX 10.5.7 on my Intel Mac. When I try to login using the correct password the screen goes white and just returns back to the login screen. It does not jiggle like when you enter the wrong password.

I have had a number of issues with my Intel Mac recently and had to reboot using disk utilities, safe mode, OSX recovery, but always come back to the login screen but when I type my password the screen goes white and returns to the login screen. My password is correct and the login does not jiggle as it would if the password was wrong. Please advise,

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding,you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP.
The procedure below may spare you the need for a clean reinstallation of OS X. If you don't feel comfortable carrying it out, don't. try.
Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
/var/audit/current
If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
Boot in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
mount -uw /
You must type the command exactly as given, with no mistakes. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP. At this stage, no harm will be done if you make a mistake, but later, it will be. Press the return key.
Next, type the following command:
rm -i /var/audit/current
Press return. You should get the following output:
remove /var/audit/current?
If that's not what you get, STOP. Type the single letter N, press return, and try again. Otherwise, type the single letter Y and pressreturn.
Finally, enter the command:
exit
Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will reboot. Try again to log in.

Multiple Tab Home refresh issue, I would like to not get 6 new tabs to open when I hit the home button, I would like it to refresh the six tabs I already have open back to the saved settings. Internet explorer does this.

I like to have my home button restore multiple tabs for me. Sometimes I close some of the default tabs or they move from their default pages. Based on my experience with internet explorer I first select the left most tab and then hit the home button. It restores all saved tabs in the default. With Firefox is always opens brand new tabs and moves the existing ones to the right. Is there a setting to make it not open all new tabs.

That's the way the Homepage button works in Firefox, it reloads one tabbed homepage and opens all the rest of your homepages in new Tabs, appending the Tabs that are already open.
IIRC, the TabMix Plus extension has an option to reload your Homepages in existing tabs.

Would like to *not* use all caps

Is this possible in the iWeb Comic Book template? I've played with different fonts, however, they all come up using all caps.
Is there a way to change some of the text in the CB template into normal upper and lower case type?
Thanks again for helping me twice today
kimba

Type your text in a text editor like Bean, set the font type, size and size to the way you want it and then copy and past into the Comic Book template text box replacing all the text there currently. That should change the font to upper and lower case.

I would like to combine both my macbok calendar and my iphone calendar into the same calendar. How do i do this?

how would i automatically combine my calendars on both my macbook and my iphone?

Yes, it's possible. That's exactly how iCloud works.
First check your settings. Make sure your phone and Mac are both signed into the same iCloud account in Settings (System Preferences)>iCloud and that contact syncing is enabled on both. Then on your phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and select your iCloud calendar as your default. On you Mac, open the Calendar application and go to Calendar>Preferences>General and make sure your iCloud calendar is selected in the drop-down list next to Default Calendar.
Then add a test calendar event on both your Mac and your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and check to see if they both appear there, as well as on the other device. If so, they are properly syncing now. If not, let me know which one does not appear on icloud.com.

I would like to not use the i cloud and just go back to the way my phone was before
