ICloud and amount of free Gb

When Apple announced iCloud and its free service of 5Gb I was quitte happy. But I don't see the logic of it being tied to one person instead of device. When using the backup function of my iPad and iPhone most of this space is gone. I can imagine that a iCloud backup functionality for MacOSX is on the way too. Is there a way to have iCloud storage per device without having to create multiple Apple ID's?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You are downloading games to your device and you have purchased iCloud storage. Contact with Apple to get a refund of this storage > http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact
You need more storage on the iPad to store games. Open Settings > General > Usage, and remove applications and files that you don't need to make space for this game

HT4436 Just received an email from iCloud stating that my free upgrade was going to expire and decrease to 5, when I had been using 10+. What is this??

The actual amount of extra free storage varies depending on how much storage previous subscribers had.
If you do nothing your storage will dowgrade to 5GB so you should make sure you don't have more content than this.
If you want to continue with the increased storage by paying for it, please see

Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.

How long did you wait for the systm to catch up to your request for more storage? it can take a little while, up to an hour sometimes I have heard.
If you don't see any more room after waiting a while, try resetting your phone to see if it appears then.
If that doesn't help go here, http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ and see if they can help you out.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

Iv tried setting icloud and it says maximum number of free accounts on this iphone

That means you won't be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone (and you can't delete an existing account to do so). Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or Mountain Lion), if you have one.

no, you can't store games in icloud. But you can delete them from the ipad and later get them back from the itunes store without paying for it.

Unfortunately, the only way to remove a restrictions passcode is to restore your phone as new, without using a backup (because the backup simply restores the restriction passcode back to your phone). You could, of course, restore the backup again and save as much of your data as you can before restoring it as new again. For example, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to your self. You can later open this email on your phone after restoring it as new and tap the attachment to import your contacts back to your phone. You can also import your photos and videos to your computer as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, then sync them back to your phone later or transfer them back over your wifi using an app like PhotoSync.

My IPad doesn't show the right amount of free memory

I purchased some books from Ibook store but when tried to download I got the message not enough space. Before start downloading I had 4 GB of free memory. I erase all the books and after that the amount of memory hasn't returned to the previous level. It has happened again and after some days the issue has been solved without doing something. But now the problem insists.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Not enough storage on icloud and iphone 5s won't connect to itunes

my iphone 5s is out of storage in icloud. i can't back up my phone with icloud and i've tried to delete photos and apps and emails and it hasnt made a dent. and my iphone won't connect to itunes on my computer. i've connected my phone to my computer before and iv tried everything i know to get it to connect but it wont, and the question will pop up on my phone if i want to trust my computer and i say trust because iv done it before but it still wont connect! please help.

When you delete camera roll photos, it doen't reduce your iCloud storage because camera roll photos are only stored on your device. It will reduce the size of your next backup though because the camera roll is included in the backup. (Deleting photo stream photos won't make any difference because they are not stored in your iCloud account.) That's why I was asking if you saw a reduction in the estimated size of your next backup after deleting camera roll photos. You can see the estimated size of your next backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device under Backups and look under Backup Options. This same screen gives you a list of the amount of data being used by the camera roll and your apps in the next backup, with the option to exclude these from the backup.
Deleting email should reduce your iCloud storage as it is stored in your iCloud account.
You're probably going to have problems backing up 4 devices to the same iCloud account without purchasing additional storage. Most device backups are in excess of 1GB. Four device would probably exhaust your free 5GBs of storage, leaving you no room for email, contacts, calendars, notes and other synced data. If you don't need to share the same data with all four devices, another option would be to migrate some (or all) of them to separate accounts, giving them 5GB of free storage each. Another option would be to backup some of the device to your computer using iTunes rather than iCloud.
This article provides some suggestions on ways to reduce your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

Having problems with email on iPhone, iCloud, and Automatic downloads after changing email.

I recently changed my email and because of it, I can no longer use iCloud or Automatic Downloads. Automatic Downlloads says "This device is already associated with an Apple ID. Please wait 80 days to associate it with another one." iCoud says "The max amount of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone". Also, when I try to send and email from my iPhone and I type in "M", the first letter of my name, it comes up with my old email address, although it is not part of a contact my the iPhone. Would restoring the iPhone in iTunes help in solving these problems?
Thanks a lot,
Michael

Restoring your phone won't fix these issues. Once you turn on Automatic Downloads you associate your phone with a specific Apple ID, which can only be changed every 90 days, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627. However, just because you changed you email address doesn't mean you can't keep using your former Apple ID. As for you email question, the autocomplete email suggestions you get when addressing email cannot be removed without restoring your phone as new.
