You only lose what's in that account's user folder if you don't save the data. Everything else remains intact.

Nothing deletes from cloud, just photo stream is reset and starts over on that device if you sign in again everything else stays in.

My daughter wants her own itunes account. will she lose everything from my account?

My daughter wants her own itunes account. Will she lose everything from our shared account?

Hi Randy,
John is correct, there is no true "sharing" it's more like right of use, but she can still use all the stuff she has from your account on her device, it's just a little tricky. My daughter has had her own account for over a year but she had used my account before that. She has her own iPod, Macbook Pro, and now she just bought her own iPhone.
It had never been a big deal to her until she got her phone because she has to use only her account, my e-mail and stuff she does not need on her phone. So use Home Sharing on your computer with her login and her login on her device. The biggest question is are you using two computers or one? With just a single computer it may make it harder because you really have no way of home sharing (I may stand correctly by someone else though). With two computers you just setup home sharing, login to both iTunes accounts with her login, use her computer (or the second computer) and drag all the stuff over to that iTunes library, music, apps, etc. Then they will be on her computer. Then she just drags them on to her iOS device. They will copy and she can use them.
There is no way around updates though. They can only be updated with the original account, which I believe why John stated use iTunes Plus first, because the will not play at all under a different account login. The only advantage that my daughter wanted to use this for was progress on games, so she wouldn't have to start over. Most of our stuff are free downloads so it was not even a repurchase issue as much as time on a game issue.
If you use only one computer, it should work the same way but I have not tried it so I can not say for sure. Logout of you account name and drag the stuff to her iOS device.

My I pad will not allow me to delete my Facebook account and I have tried everything. Please Help Me.

My ipad will not allow me to delete my Facebook account. I went to settings an tried to delete my account will not let me. I even entered my password an it said it was incorrect. I also uninstalled my Facebook app an tried to reinstall it am it still will not log out or let me delete my account. PLEASE HELP ME.

Can you log into Facebook from Safari (just to make sure you're entering the right password)?

This message keeps popping up at the top of the page: "Hey, this is important: We don't have a password recovery email address or phone number for your account. If you lose access, we may not be able to help you. Add info now |Dismiss" How do I stop it?

I have provided the information asked for but the message keeps popping up.

Doesn't sound like that message is coming from Firefox, Mozilla wouldn't need a phone number for anything. Firefox does use an email address for the Firefox Sync feature, but not a phone number - the Sync feature is automated.
Please provide a screenshot of that message, including the URL of the website where that happens. <br />

TS3276 There are two User accounts on my iMac. The two Users have seperate email accounts. Both email Mailboxes show up in each Account. If I Delete Mailbox from in User account, does it delete the Mailbox from the other User account at the same time?

There are 2 Users on my iMac. Each User has their own email account. Both account Mailboxes show up in each User's account. If I delete a Mailbox in one account, does it delete the same Mailbox in the other Account?

If you click the - sign in Mail preferences, it will delete that mail account. If you just delete the Mailbox, that will just delete the Mailbox.
Each user can put their own email account information in Mail when logged into their User Account.
If you don't want the other user's mail account to show up in your mail application, then make sure the other user's messages are available to them when they are logged into their account and delete the other user account from Mail in your User Account. The other user can do the same when logged into their user account. Any messages stored in one locally will have to be transfered to the other's user account if it's not saved in their user login.
In addition, instead of deleting the account at first, highlight the account and open the Advanced Tab and disable the account. That email account will dissappear from Mail. Once you decide that you don't want the account, you can delete it. If you need to get back to it to transfer messages, just re enable it.

Setting Up A New Mail Account User

I am presently the only person using my new Mac and now I need to set up a mail account for my husband. I have him as an additional account user, but could not succeed @ setting up his mail account. Each time we tried to assign a name and password, it wouldn't take it. What do I have to do? I am presently the only Administrator to the account. I also wanted to add the Microsoft Office for Mac to his Dock Station, how do I do this also? Right now it's only in my account. I would really, really and trully appreciate help with this.
Sincerely,
Deborah

Deborah,
You need to clarify some things for me. I need to you separate the use of the terminology of "Apple Mail program" from the use of "a .mac account." They are not the same thing. The Mail application can be used with all sorts of email accounts, and does not require the use of a .mac email account subscription.
If you are speaking of a .mac account, and if the address for your husband is an alias address belonging the one true .mac account, then you have to be signed on to the the real account before the alias can be used, and it is not set up as a separate account, but appears in the drop down menu of available From addresses.
On the other hand, if you have purchased a second, email only, .mac address, then I think that can be set up without the other one being setup in that User Account. But only your main account could access the iDisk for other uses.
If you talking about email accounts, other than .mac, then more info is needed.
As you can see, I need a fuller understanding of your situation to really give a proper answer.

You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

HT1918 How can I delete an iTunes account?

Need to delete new account in order to use current email on the original account

You can't currently delete an iTunes account. If you want to use the email address on your old account then you will need to go into the new account and change its email address to something else (if you don't have another email account then create via, for example, gmail), and you should then be able to use that address on the old account.

Is it possible to delete my icloud account?

If you mean from the iCloud server, no: just stop using it. You can remove it from your devices by going to System Preferences or Settings>iCloud and clicking 'Sign out' (on a Mac) or 'Delete account' (on an iOS device).

Does using the reset setting function delete the email accounts

I want to use the reset settings function but I am worried that it will delete my email accounts.

If you are talking about a Reset where you hold the home and sleep buttons till you see the Apple logo, no that will not delete your email accounts. If you are referring to a RESTORE of your iPhone as a new phone, yep that will clear the email accounts.

If I delete the iCloud account from an iPhone am I deleting permanently or only on the device?

I am using my mum's old iPhone with her iCloud account. if I delete it from there am I deleting permanently or only on the device?

I would also like to know the same thing, but according to a post i have about my stolen iphone the responder said you can't delete an icloud account and it will always be in the icloud. below is the answer I recieved about still being able to sign into my icloud account after my phone has been stolen three months later(cause I was led to believe your credentials leave your phone after it is wiped by a thief, therefore one would think you couldn't sign in anymore and still try to track your phone although says constantly offline) but gathering from what this person has said to me it sounds like your just deleting it from the device. I don't know if this answer helps you, but i hope it does
Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored. (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.) If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.

How can i remove the email account without deleting the email account?

Hi
I have an old email account which I want to remove from Mail, which I know how to do. However I don't want to delete these emails but rather park them off-site so that if I ever need them again I can easily re-import. By removing the email account in preferences it says it will delete all the emails etc. from my computer. Is my only solution to copy the emails to a different location, then delete the account and if needed re-import at a later date?
Thanks
David

You can do a couple of things.
You can Export the emails to a .mbox file then Import them in which will create an Import folder in Mail; then delete your email account. Or you can just disable the email account leaving it in your list of accounts only disabled.
