If I delete the icloud account on my iphone, will it also be deleted from the other phone that it's sync'd with?
My mother-in-law and I both have iphones and when they were set up, they both had icloud downloaded onto them through her apple account. I don't use icloud and I was wondering if deleting the account on my phone would affect hers as well.
They were initially setup with the smae Apple ID but when you delete the iCloud account from the phone you disassociate iCloud items on your phone.
If you want to rid the device of the Apple ID completely you will need to sign out in seceral places:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Settings > Messages > Turn off iMessage
Setings > FaceTime > Turn off FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
Settings > Game Center > Apple ID > Sign out
Note: You can keep the iTunes & App Stores sign in to share purchases without any effect on anything else
You should consider getting your own Apple ID.

I made a new Apple ID and I want to delete my iCloud account on my iPhone, will it delete only documents or data or it will reset my whole iPhone, like deleting my apps, contacts. Please I need your help.
All you have to do is this: Sync your 3GS to create a current backup. Then either: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings or restore it as a "New" device in iTunes. Both accomplish the same thing, erasing all of your data & settings from the phone. You can now give it to your sister, she can plug it into her computer, name it what she wants & sync her content to it. You then restore your 4S from the backup of the 3GS you created when you started. Follow this by syncing your content to your new phone & your 4S will look just like your 3GS.

If I delete my iCloud account on my iPhone will I loss all iCloud data
I want to know if I can delete my iCloud account off my iPhone but still have the data and allow other users that share my iCloud account to not be affected. Does it just delete that account off my phone ?

Yes. -
In the icloud settings theres a button that says "delete account", will that delete the account only from that device or delete the account entirely?
The implication of "Delete Account" is a little unclear and it's understandable to be concerned about it.
It merely deletes the account from the iPhone.
It can just as easily be added again. -
How do i delete the icloud account on my iphone without login details
How do i delete the icloud account on my iphone without login details or access to the email account which it was set up with?
While you can delete the existing iCloud account by forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it, or logging into iCloud.com & erasing the phone, you won't be able to activate the phone unless you you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate the phone. The phone will be useless.
This is called Activation Lock. -
I do not know the password for my icloud account on my iphone 5S, I also want to elete the account and set a new one?
Hi Tania1894,
If you do not know your iCloud password and did not receive your reset email, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Hi Apple Team, I would like to change the iCloud account on my iPhone, however it says I must 'delete the account' before doing so? Does this mean that I delete the entire existing account, or just delete it from my phone specifically?
From the iPhone only.

Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.
Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1. Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2. Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3. Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,

I'm managing several devices from my itunes account. If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices as well as in itunes?
Ok, thanks! I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products. Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?

My messages are linked somehow between my phone and iPad. I need to make space on my iPad so I want to delete the messages off my iPad only. If I delete my messages off of my iPad, will they also be deleted off of my iPhone?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you delete messages on one device they arent deleted on others.
