ICloud Email and Contact Security?

I have a client that is very strict on security with their devices. With BlackBerry this was never an issue but now that "iCloud" has been introduced they are worried that company emails are being stored in the cloud. As it stands right now if someone is let go I can wipe the device remotely but now since things are going to the cloud I would think someone with a wiped device could easily get all that data back upon device reactivation?
The data they are concerned about are company contacts associated with their company email address. I’m thinking that the only email that syncs to the cloud is the "me.com" email address but im not sure. If that is the case is that same with the contacts that sync to the cloud, are they just me.com contacts? If it's just me.com that syncs then we are in the clear but if its syncing proprietary company data then we may have to ban iPhones due to strict FINRA compliance policies.
Anyone else run into anything similar?

It's just the @me mail that is synced with iCloud. The contacts that are synced are those you choose to sync, you can put contacts you don't wish to sync in the Address Book On My Mac Account.

How to set up 2 people to share an iPad, for iCloud email and contacts

A family of two, each with their own MacBook, own iPhones, but sharing one iPad on trips, all with latest OS. Currently using Apple Mail with links to separate gmail accounts and all is working as we prefer. But want to switch to icloud email accounts. Want separate email to continue on MacBooks and iPhones, but to display both individual email addresses on iPad. Can't figure out how to have two iCloud email accounts display in Mail without commingling in the inbox. Family Share does not seem to support this, nor sharing of Contacts. If the only way is to have person #2 get a separate Apple ID then contacts would not be shared which is messy to keep current, and then how would the iPad handle two ID's?

It's always best to have seperate IDs.
YOu can enter a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts and calendars and select which services you want switched on. Note some services, such as photos and document syncing are only available to the primary account.

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

I no longer have access to my icloud email and don't know the answers to my security questions. Does anyone know how to work around this to reset my icloud ID without losing my info? I haven't backed up in a year because of this.

Need Icloud HELP!!! 2 email and contact account pulling from one ID

My wife and I have the same apple ID and when I set up Icloud it insist on us recieving the same email and contacts even though hers is entered under her email???

You can use the same iTunes. The only minor issue is app updating. Each purchased item is permanently associated with whatever ID was used to obtain it. IF you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, it's necessary to log out/in to update the app.
It's easier if you do your updating directly to the iPad and let it sync the updated items back to the iTunes library. There is no need to log out/in but you do need to know the password. In my case, both passwords are deliberately identical to make things easier for us.
On the other hand, the sync operation does not care what ID was used to obtain the app. All apps (and music and movies and TV shows) are synced without regard to the ID that was used for the purchase.
Be careful with TV shows. Apple offers a lower-cost upgrade to get all shows from a given year. However, the dollar cost of the upgrade is based on the shows purchased with whatever ID you're currently logged in with. Simple solution - get all shows from a specific series with the same ID.

Can't open email and contacts after changing email address in iCloud

I changed my email address in iTunes and iCloud and now I cannot open email and contacts. The beachball appears and after about 2-3 minutes I get a message that the program cannot open. I'm ready to throw my iMac out the window. It is only a couple months old.

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

Just started getting about 300-400 emails per day from several fraudulent Addresses to my icloud email and am not sure how to stop receiving them, or create a rule to have them all go to Junk.When unsub, I get more. Emails from my contacts are now Junk?!

Emails from my contacts are now Junk?! How do I fix this? I have over 800 emails since 5Am YESTERDAY!

First, don't unsubscribe. This only tells the spammer that your email address is valid and they will send even more.
If this is only being sent from a few specific email addresses, you can set up a rules on icloud.com similar to the image below to send them to the trash. This describes how to set up a rule: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a3f8a.

Issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices. iTouch and iPad2 sync with different results from iMac. Thoughts?

Has any one experienced issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices? The primary machine is an iMac running Lion. Address Book was created from vcf file (backup of address book prior to moving to iCloud). iTouch replicates Contacts just fine and matches the Address Book on the iMac. The iPad 2 does not showing only 123 contacts where there should be 200. I have turned off iCloud on both devices thus erasing the iCloud content of both devices and staring from scratch with both devices with identical results. Even turned off iCloud on the iMac and erased the Address Book and rebuilt with the same results. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am going nuts.....

To follow-up with this issue:
I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

Missing past emails and contacts

with the new security process, when i logged into my email account, it looks like a brand new account. Everything is missing such as emails received/sent and contacts. i need to get access to these emails. thank you.

Anything in Outlook is stored on the individual computer. It will not be stored on the website anywhere. You would need to Export all your emails and contacts from your old computers outlook program. Then take the file it creates and Import them to your new computers Outlook.

Clearing Old Emails and Contacts

I have an old Bold 9870 and now use a Z10. I need to clear all the emails and contacts from the Bold so I can load a new Sim and let someone else use the phone. I cannot see how to clear all the emails from the server or how to prevent the new user reading all my emails and coantacts.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks Steve

You'll need to do a security wipe on the phone.
On your homescreen, follow Options>Security>Security Wipe OR Options>Device>Security>Security Wipe, depending on which OS your phone is running. Once on the Security Wipe page, follow the instructions to clear the phone of all personal data.
Let us know if that helps you.
