ICloud on my iOS device Change in iCloud

fine until
I bought an iPhone off craigslist. It was running iOS 7.1.2.
The device had an iCloud on it. The guy I bought it from deleted his account off of it then proceeded to wipe his stuff using the "Erase content and setting" under the Reset tab in settings.
The phone wiped, asked for his iCloud to bypass activation lock, he put them in and then I proceededto input my iCloud credentials to sign in.
I got the email saying my iCloud was used to sign into an iPhone 4s
I decided to restore the iPhone today and update it to 8.1.2. My had a lot of clutter so I decided it was time to start fresh.
The restore went smoothly until I tried to re-set up the iPhone.
I was then prompted with a different iCloud account other than mine.
The iPhone still appears in the "Find My iPhone" thing online.
I tried to re-wipe it using that but no luck.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?
I HAVE NO WAY OF CONTACTING THE GUYas working

Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive. Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application? Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear. Many thanks for the help.

2) iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses. For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac. On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them. I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

I have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page?? please help :-(

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

Multiple iCloud accounts, single iOS device.

I have one Apple ID, and only one iOS device - a 4th generation iPod touch. Can I setup multiple iCloud accounts? If so, how?

You can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts on each device. You can create two additional "secondary accounts" by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with two new Apple IDs.
Secondary accounts will only sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes. The can't be used for be used for iCloud Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents and Data, iCloud Backup or Find My iPod. Also, mail in secondary accounts will be fetch only, not push.

With iCloud activated on iOS devices, how do I manage syncing with iTunes?

Guess it's time to take a class at the Apple Store (there's an app for that)
Two Questions:
Question 1
I have turned on iCloud in my iPad and iPhone5 for contacts, calendars, reminders, Safari, Passbook (iPhone only), and Find my iPhone/iPad.
I am not using iCloud for backups, email or photo stream because for many reasons I choose to avoid WiFi.In the iPhone User guide (page 57) it says, "if you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars.....don't also sync them to your device using iTunes."
When I set up the devices in iTunes, i checked "Automatically sync contacts, calendrs, bnookmarks, notes and email." Now I want to modify that setup. However, if I simply plug in the devices to the computer I'm going to get an automatic sync and I understand that can unnecessarily duplicate data.
How to resolve this?
Can I just turn OFF the iCloud features on each device, attach the device to the computer, and reconfigure iTunes to stop the auto-sync of the contacts, etc.? Then after ejecting the device, I turn the iCloud features back ON?
Question 2
I've been downloading apps, music, and books in iTunes and then syncing them to my devices. How does this change with iCloud?
On each device I've gone into Settings-Store and activated Automatic downloads of Music, Apps, Books.
Now, when I go to my PC and log in to iTunes to order an app, book, music, do I still have to attach each device to the computer in order to obtain the downloads?
What about apps I obtain directly from a device?

For your first issue, without connecting your iPad open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will disable automatic syncing when you connect your iPad, allowing you to change your settings without syncing. Next, connect your iPad, click on the name of your iPad on the left side of iTunes and to to the Info tab and uncheck the data you no longer want to sync with iTunes (such as contacts and calendars). When done making you changes, click Apply at the bottom (this will sync your phone with the new settings). If you prefer, you can then go back to iTunes preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.
You will continue to sync your iTunes media such as music and apps with iTunes as you did before. These are not stored or synced with iCloud (although you can redownload media purchased from the iTuens and app stores in the future if you need to; however, this has nothing to do with your iCloud account).
If you have enabled automatic downloads for your Apple ID, when you purchase apps, music or books in iTunes using this Apple ID it will automatically be downloaded to your iPad. If you purchase them on your iPad, they will be automatically added to your iTunes library when you sync your iPad.

Is there any way to access a PDF in iCloud on an iOS device?

After a PDF has been saved in iCloud, is there any way to access it from an iOS device (iPad)?

No, you can only view it from a Mac that is signed into your account.

HT204150 iCloud Contacts with iOS devices

I've tried each step under "Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts update or setup issues with iOS devices" several times to no avail. I can't get icloud to update Contacts on my iPhone 4. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

HT5927 Using apple configurator with supervised devises, enabling iCloud/ find my iOS device (after being supervised), backing up that supervised / find my iPhone enabled image, --issue; unable to apply back up to any iOS device (including the orign. devi

Senario:
Need to manage 500 Enterprise iPads
Requirements;
1) Trackable via Find my iOS device (we have 500 iPads and with the 100 device limit per iCloud account for Find my iOS device limit we have 5+ iCloud accounts).
2) Individually named iPads for locating and sending commands to wipe, lost mode, etc.. on map per Find my iOS device (we uniquely name them in Apple Configurator either by using the "sequensetially numbering feature", or by creating individual back ups (yes, 450) with the name specified in the image).
3) Find my iOS device feature enabled in base Prepared or Supervised image (using one of our 5+ iCloud accounts) (image can be created during prepared stage, or in supervised stage) - tried both and have the same issue - which I am getting to...
4) VPP codes for paid apps (all VPP codes purchased with generic account which is the Apple Admin account for VPP purchases). Apple Configurator is set up under a different/ unique Apple account (i.e. not VPP admin account) and not logged into iTunes for any purchases/ services).
Issue: Can not do any following senarios;
A)
1) configure master iOS 7 iPad with iCloud account with Find my iOS feature enabled in Prepare stage (added during preparing stage)
2) configure master iOS 7 iPad with iCloud account with Find my iOS feature enabled in Supervised stage (added after supervising, and then backing up that supervised and iOS Find my iOS device enabled)
B) 1) Apply master image to any Supervised iPad (under senario step A) or senario step B)), including the (Supervised or/ Prepared iPad that was used to create the maset iOS 7 image
Result = fail with Apple generic code "4" ; This is obviously due to Find my iOS device feature enabled during image capture.
According to Apple (see Apple Config. Help) the 'Activation lock' (new feature in iOS 7) will not be enabled on a supervised device when an iCloud account with "Find my iDevice" is enabled. Their "help files" seem to imply after the device is Supervised, and a person (presumably and end user) adds thier own iCloud account with Find my iOS device enabled the activation lock is not enabled and erasing/ reconfiguring with Apple Configurator will not cause reimaging probhlems such as requiring the end user's credentials to reconfigure the device using Apple Configurator (i.e. you won't need the end user's credentials).
Needed: To be able to configure Supervised iPads with iCloud account (Enterprised owned iCloud account) configured on the basse image, which has Find my iOS device enabled, and to be able to apply that base image to all Enterprise iPads without generic apple error code 4 issue.

Hi all
I am trying to replicate these steps in my environment but I am having trouble getting an iCloud backup restored to a supervised device. Can someone clarify the steps? The parts I am unsure on are:
1) Do you Prepare in Configurator with all the institution owned apps? Or do you install them after restoring the iCloud backup?
2) After entering the personal AppleID to restore the iCloud backup, the setup wizard prompts for the Institution/Configurator AppleID, there is an option to 'Skip Now'. Do you enter in the password for the institution account? or do you skip that step?
3) What exactly is on the screen in the 'mini setup assistant' after the restore when you Refresh with Configurator?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I only have a MacBook Air but no iOS devices. Does iCloud offer me any benefits?

After digging through support documents, it appears that iCloud is really only meant to support the sync and storage of files for those users with iOS devices. I have one MacBook have the iWork apps as well as MS Office for Mac. I have no other Apple devices. I use Windows at work and have an Android phone. I was really hoping to use iCloud for redundant offsite storage to backup all of the work done on my Macbook, with the added luxury of being able to open said work from a remote location (i.e. on my Windows PC at work since I have MS Office on both platforms).
Am I correct in thinking that iCloud will not provide the features I am looking for?

1. System Preferences > Energy Saver
    Click "Restore Defaults" button.
2. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

You have to take the computer to the Apple store again to have it checked out.
Best.

How do I access iwork for ios docs stored in icloud on all ios devices

How do I access ios-iwork icloud docs on all my ios devices?
ios 7.1.2 on all ios devices. Have zero access to my icloud docs on mobile devices since ios 7.0.

Make sure you are signed in to iCloud using the same AppleID as used for the files.
Settings app > iCloud > Documents&Data. Make sure each of the iWorks apps is turned on.
Go to the settings for each app and make sure (Use iCloud)
For 2 or 3 above, if they are already on, turn them off and then back on.

ICloud syncs to iOS devices but not OSX devices on my home network.

While setting up Photostream, I discovered that iCloud does not seem to push to OSX devices, but it does to iOS devices.
For example, I set up Aperture on my MacPro. I enabled Photostream on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. When I take a photo on my iPhone, Photostream automatically pulls it to my iPad. On my Mac, nothing happens. All devices are on the same network.
Looking more into this, I tested my iCal sync, and that also does not push. I can "Refresh" the calendars and it finds them, but it will not push.
It is important to know...
1. My mac WILL sync Photostream if I disable and re-enable it, or if I disconnect my internet and reconnect it. It just doesnt automatically sync - even after hours.
2. My brother came over with his MacBook Pro and iPhone. His MacBook Pro has the exact same behavior as mine.
3. I have tried:
     -Creating a new user on my computer and trying there.
     -Opening up router port 5223 and set it to forward to my MacPro. No success.
     -Using iPhoto to sync Photostream - no go.
     -Resetting Photostream.
Please help!!! This issue defeats the entire purpose of Photostream for me!
Thanks,
Adam

Yes this worked perfectly, there is a tense moment when all your calendar appointments disappear, but once you sign and restart calendar, they all reappear.
Thanks Csound1!
