If I delete iCloud, will I lose my contacts?

If I delete iCloud, will I lose my contacts? I lost them the other day and the only way they seemed to be reinstated was to reinstall iCloud.

Back up your contacts and calendars before disconnecting from iCloud, restore them after you do.

  • I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

    - Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to to bottom of the screen and tap the delete button. The effect all the services listed in Settings>iCloud like Notes, Contact and Calendar.
    - You may be offered the option to retain that data on the iPod. Otherwise it gets deleted.
    It does not effect synced media like apps and music purchased with the account..
    Note that purchases made with an Apple ID are locked to the ID that purchased them. To update apps you have to sing into the account that purchased them

    Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.

    Disabled
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
    Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
    You can restore from backup
    If not in backup then:
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    No, but that does not mean that you should not backup first, unless you like taking chances that is.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately Office for Mac does not support the correct protocols to work with iCloud.

  • What will happen if i reset my phone..will i lose my contacts?

    what will happen if i reset my iphone ..will i lose my contacts??

    No. You will not lose your contacts just by resetting.
    If at some point you need to restore your iPhone, you can re sync your contacts using iTunes.

    Good idea to create a backup if you haven't done so. Instructions at that link.

  • HT201436 if I Reset on iPhone, and tap Reset Network Settings.will i lose my contacts or apps?

    if I Reset on iPhone, and tap Reset Network Settings.will i lose my contacts or apps?

    Reset Network Settings does NOT affect any data on the device.
    A reset of the device (holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears) does NOT affect any data on the device.

  • If delete photo back up to iCloud, will I lose my photos?

    If I turn off iCloud backup on my photos, will I lose them?

    If you are talking about turning off Photostream this will not affect the photos on your iPad. Note that Photostream is not a backup.
    If you are talking about just turning off iCloud backup then this will not affect the Photos on your iPad. Of course, your photos and other data will no longer be saved to iCloud.

  • If I delete iCloud, will my Apple id be deleted too?

    I need someone to help me. My iPod memory is taken up by iCloud. So I want to know if my apple id will be deleted with       iCloud. Help!

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account.  This will delete all the "apple" data (contacts, etc.) from the ipod but not from icloud's servers.  In the future you can log back in if you want.  You apple ID will also remain intact.
    But if there's a service or two that you want to keep (e.g. Find My iPhone - also works with ipods), you can go to settings>icloud and turn off services you don't want, like calendars.  You can also go to settings>Mail... and delete the icloud email account to stop downloading emails.  This way you clear some memory but keep some things you'd rather not delete.  Logging out of icloud will remove all apple data.

  • If I update my Iphone 3GS to the newer software version IOS 6.1.3, will I lose my contacts, apps and photos?

    I am wanting to update my Iphone 3GS to the newer version IOS 6.1.3, but is afraid I might lose all of my photos including my wedding photos, apps and all of my contacts? How can I make sure I will not lose my photos, apps, contacts and all of my passwords. Is there a easier way in order not to lose anything? HELP!!!!

    Although included with the iPhone's backup, all photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Although contacts are also included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air.
    All iTunes content - all music, movies, tv shows, tones, audio and print books, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
    Settings, passwords, etc. are also included with the iPhone's backup, but so is a significant amount of other data. There is always the change some of the data included with the backup is corrupt or cannot be restored from the backup.

  • If I disable my Apple ID, will I lose my contacts from my iPhone?

    Hello. I might disable my Apple ID in order to create a new one. If I disable the Apple ID and have not updated my iPhone recently, will I lose all my contacts from my iPhone when I sign in with the NEW Apple ID? Thanks a bunch!

    Yes. And you will lose the game as well as all other software connected to your old Apple ID, and they cannot be transferred.
