If you delete your icloud backup will it delete everything that was backed up?

It will only delete the backup from iCloud. It won't delete anything from your phone.

HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

Mail on my iPad 2 is no longer working after latest update. If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before?

Mail on my iPad 2 has stopped working since the latest update. The symbol is on the screen in its' usual place but it either opens briefly, just showing the blank framework for Mail before suddenly quitting, or all the App symbols disappear completelly from the screen. I'm not confident that i know what to do! If I delete the account and reinstate it will I lose everything that was there before? Looking at an earlier question along the same lines it doesn't appear that that would make a difference. If I reset the whole thing will I lose all my documents, photos etc.?
i'd be extremely grateful for some clear guidance!

(A) Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

Are there files of everything that was backed up from your phone on your mac?

I finished a backup and then tried to update to iOS 8 then while iOS 8 was updating it said that it was backing up my phone which was reset so nothing was on it so at the same time I clicked restore backup and then the iOS 8 update got corrupted and I think my backup was corrupted from that too. Everything that I backed up should still be on my mac somewhere because that backup was already finished so where do I find this stuff? and is there a way I can transfer everything I lost back on my phone like that? (If I try to simply press restore backup on iTunes it basically just restores my iPhone as new because the backup is corrupted I guess)

I lost everything at one point as well as my iTunes only seemed to 'backup' two apps.
Once I got the phone working I had to re-download every app I had. Once I had them again I checked some of them out and for whatever reason, every single app still had all the settings/scores etc that they had before I lost them.
Was pretty annoying having to find every single app again but once I had them all it was great to find out they were exactly as I had last used them. Hope it works the same for you.
Good luck

Is there a way to recover a deleted app that was backed up on the iCloud but is no longer available on the App Store?

I had downloaded this app before it was removed from the App store but I accidentally deleted it off my phone. It says it's back up with iCloud but I don't know how to get it back onto my phone. Is that even possible?

Not unless it is in your iTunes library. If so, you can sync it back to your phone. If not, you can't get it back.
This is why you want to always transfer your purchases to iTunes by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Or, turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) or Edit>Preferences>Devices (PC).

IF I DELETE MY LAST ICLOUD BACKUP, WILL I LOSE MY INFORMATION ON MY PHONE

I just bought the iPhone 5 and restored an iCloud backup onto it from my old phone. I am trying to backup my iPhone 5 now but it is saying that I do not have enough room. If I delete the iPhone 4 backup, will I lose everything that I backed up onto the 5?

IF you delete your backup then yes it will delete all the data.
you can create a new one with the current data on your phone.

If I delete my iCloud backup will it wipe all the content from my phone?

If I want to delete my iCloud back up to clear the iCloud memory, will it delete the content on my phone? I want to delete it then back it up again hoping I'll have more iCloud space available afterwards but I don't want to lose everything!
Thanks

Delete iCloud backup will not erase data in iPhone. After deletion be sure that you have all your space available before make a new backup.

HT204264 "If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" mode

"If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" model? If we don't do this, won't this kill auto-sync of new photos from iOS devices to our libraries on our Macs (if the Mac's Photos app has auto syncing with the cloud turned on) once we go over our 5gb limit? I have 350GB of photos in my Mac Photos library - I am not going to pay $20/month for 1tb iCloud storage. Please advise, Apple. Thank you.

I agree and am baffled by this also. At first I was really excite about this new feature. Mostly because I would be able to seamlessly sync videos along with my PhotoStream. I just assumed there would be some systematic way to handle large libraries. Like removing older files as the current PhotoStream does. However, it appears that this new feature will simply 'shut down' when you reach your storage limit. This just makes no sense to me. I would have to double check, but I have all my photos and videos in iPhoto and stored on a 3 TB external hard drive and I think the full library is over 1 TB. So, even if I was willing to pay $20 a month for photo syncing (which I am not) I couldn't do it because my library is too large. Again I am just baffled why Apple cannot blend this new service with the existing PhotoSteam model. My favorite aspect of PhotoSteam is that is uploads all my iPad and iPhone Photos to my Mac for permanent storage and it seems this is lost in the new version.

Is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password

is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password.
I can get into my icloud but i cant remember the icloud backup password.

Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

How do you change your icloud account information? It contains an old email address that i no longer have access to

I have an icloud account but i need to change the user id for it as its an old email address that i no longer have access to. This is different from my apple id.

To change the iCloud ID 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice 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.
Note: this will only work if the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID).

HT4859 How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

How To find your iCloud Backup?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!!!!??!!!!

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

How do you change your icloud account when you change email address

How do you change your Icloud account details from your old email address to your new email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
