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 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.

If I go to iCloud and I press "delete account" what would be deleted? Will photo and videos be deleted and apps?

It will only delete the iCloud account from the iPod. If you sign back in the iCloud stuff will still be there.
When yo delete the account from the iPod yo will be offered the option to retain or delete the iCloud information from the iPod. The data is contacts. calendar and other stuff listed in Settings.iCloud

Remove/delete Icloud account in apple servers

Hello everyone
I would like to know how to cancel denititely icloud account from apple´s servers
Thanks

From what other people have posted it appears you can't. Just delete any contents you don't want up there and sign out on your Macs.devices. After all it's not costing you anything.
Note that when you sign out, if you have been syncing any data such as calendars or contacts they will be removed from your Mac (though not the server) so you will want to transfer them to 'On My Mac' - see the second set of numbered instructions here for moving calendars.

Deleted icloud from my iphone and it deleted all my contacts, calendar events etc etc. i then stupidly i think synced my phone. I want to back up from computer to phone to see if I can restore contacts - can someone tell me step by step how to do this?

can anyone help me please. i stupidly deleted icloud as i thought that was what was giving me problems with phone. didnt realise it would delete all my contacts as well. i then, again stupidly I think, synced my phone backing up the phone to the computer and probably overriding the cotnacts that were on my computer? Anyway, can anyone tell me how you back up from the computer BACK TO THE PHONE to see if I can get my contacts back? Would be very grateful if you could give me the step by step idiots guide as I am really nervous around technical stuff

Again thank you SO much for helping with other problem = a real relief.

Can't Delete icloud with old Apple ID (which is not an email address)

Alright a couple of years ago apple made the switch to an email address as the main log on, which I was cool with. Fast forward to today now that I am interested in backing my phone up to the cloud I can not because it is prompting me for the password of my log in due to the fact the find my phone is on. Meaning my log on back in the day was a random word same as my screen name "VERSE13" not an email.
Any help would be apreciated. I tried all the switching of emails to holding magical massage rocks on the back of my phone.

This is what worked for me. Should also work with the other problems with old email address and what not.
First save all your important data. I backed up all my contacts to OUTLOOK and took all my photos off the iphone. This is important as you won't be restoring from an early sync.
The next thing I did was went into my itunes library and deleted all the apps that were associated with my old log in name. (I made a note so I could redownload these later). In Itunes library click on apps then click list. Right click on app and select get info. On the summary tab you will see the apple ID it was purchased/associated with.
The next thing I did was restored my iPhone using the following instructions (which will get you around the whole not knowing the password thing):
With Iphone connected to computer hold power and home button until the phone resets.
When the apple icon comes on release the power button (continue to hold home button).
The iphone screen will display something that is tell you to connect your phone to itunes. On your computer you will receive the following message "Itunes has detected an Iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with iTunes."
Click Ok.
Then click restore iphone.
Then confirm to restore and update.
When complete a screen that says "Welcome to your New Iphone" will be displayed.
Do not select restore from backup. This will just cause the same problems with screen IDs.
At this point just disconnect your Iphone and go through the startup steps on your phone.
Sign in with the Apple ID/Cloud ID that you want to use.
When you are complete with that sync with Itunes library.
Make sure you select to set up as a new Iphone. Place all your APPS and music back on your phone. Set it up how you like it and sync to create a new restore point.
So basically it is just like you got a new phone. So it is very important you save your contacts and pics and video to your local hard drive.

When I change the folder for deleted files will files sent there be deleted as well?

Hello! I selected the tick at forwarding mails. And I also checked (✓) for deleting those mails. In addition I selected to send deleted e-mails to a new folder. Now the name of the new folder is behind the bin symbol (). Will mails in the new folder be deleted after 30 days or will they stay. I want them to stay, so if there is a different way to forwand and mark the mails as read, I would be happy if you could tell me!

The solutions is either of the following:
Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
Copy the photos back into the exact same folder and folder location that they were in before
I don't know what you actually did "when I pasted it back" ... but the bigger issue is that you shouldn't be working with these files in your operating system, period. Once you import them into Lightroom, you don't manage these files in your operating system.

I am not 'Iphone" savy and received notice that ICloud was full. Not really wanting it I delete Icloud on my iphone and it deleted all of my phone contacts. Is there any avenue to retreive this information?

Providing you have only deleted the account from your mobile device, you should be able to simply add it back and recover your contacts etc again.

Hi, I have deleted my old apple ID as it was my old email address and replaced it with a new one but cant seem to make my Iphone and Ipad forget the old one and Icloud will not let me in. also when I try my old password or try and reset it it will not let

I deleted/changed my old apple ID (from the apple webb site) and I have changed all my Apple products onto the new ID, but they all randomly ask for a password for the old ID (which now will not work and I can't change) the biggest problem is that my icloud account will not let me in to do anything.
my knowledge of Apple is limited.

We need to be clear here. Did you create a second ID, or just modify the single ID?

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 ?

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

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

TS3988 iCloud will not accept any passwords after upgrading OS. 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.

HT204053 I recently changed ny Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on.

I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

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