Sold an iOS unit - forgot to logout from iCloud - will there be problems?

So, I sold my iOS unit, and before you sell it, you are supposed to do the following steps, as instructed on the following website: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support:
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you've removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Sign out of iCloud:
Tap Settings > iCloud, scroll down, and tap Sign Out. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account.
Tap Sign Out again, tap Delete from My iPhone, then enter your password.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 or later and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner. If you aren't using a SIM-card with your device, you can contact them to get help transferring service to the new owner.
Well, I did step 2 and 3, I did a Erase all Content and Settings.
But, I forgot step 2, logging out from iCloud.
What I did was I turned off Find my Phone in iCloud settings, then did a total reset
Now, here is my questions:
1. Will the new owner have any problems activating his iCloud account on the device, or will my iCloud ID show up?
2. Also, am I logged out from iCloud after the reset?
I think it would be strange that iCloud credentials would not dissapear after a total reset of the phone, and I am curious as to why you have to perform step 2 at all when you do a total reset...
All help is appreciated

Thanks for the input.
I actually turned off Find my Phone before I did the reset (was mandatory to turn off Find my Phone before I even could do a reset), so it is no longer present among my units in iCloud.
That would mean that the new owner can type in their icloud username and password without problems?

    thanks

    Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase.
    See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
    See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store.

    How do I logout from icloud so that my wife can login?

    You don't, unless you want to remove all your iCloud content from your phone.
    Why does your wife want to log in to iCloud on your phone? If it is to check her email, you'd need to setup her email account as a secondary one in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

    I've been having the same problem since iCloud appeared and complicated an otherwise trouble-free system. Doubling frustrating is that iCloud duplicates my .Mac account so I get two of everything in my Inbox. I turned off iCloud and now mail at least goes out but I can't delete the duplicate account.

  • IOS app crashes on return from cameraUI - a memory allocation problem?

    hey all
    trying to finish my first app
    when running on iOS, the app SOMETIMES crashes after returning from cameraUI (either "use"/MediaEvent.COMPLETE or "cancel"/Event.CANCEL).
    when i exit some other running apps on my iPhone 3Gs (and not that many are open), the problem goes away, which makes me think this is some memory allocation problem
    in that aspect, can i trust the iOS to exit inactive applications to allocate more memory for my, currently active, AIR app?
    (there is no memory leak)
    this is an iPhone 3Gs running os version 4.3.5
    the app was made with Flash Pro 5.5 overlayed with the AIR 3.1 sdk, and deployed using the "deploy for app store" type (which should be the most bug-free)
    (no crashes on Android or desktop versions)
    anyone had this cameraUI problem or a similar one where an app crashes if more then some numbers of apps are open?
    thanx
    Saar

    I don't get this. Its beyond frustrating:
    we are not talking about using an uncommon phone capability, access to a phones camera is about the most basic native level of access you would be looking for in a mobile framework
    we are not talking about an edge case in usage, just trying to take a simple picture consistently
    we are not talking about a feature issue where it doesn't quite work the way you want, it crashes the whole app hard! 
    we are not talking about a hard to recreate, only happening to a few people case - it seems from what I have read the Camera integration is fundamentally broken and I have spent days researching this and only found frustration from people out there
    we are not talking about an issue that does not have consequences - in several places on this forum and others people have emphasized how it is affecting their platform decisions, ability to submit apps. You even have people on this board recommending that not to use Flex Mobile and move to other platforms. Not what you want to be happening to when you are at the adoption phase of a new product.
    And that is the response - on this thread and here http://forums.adobe.com/message/4125590#4125590 - we know its an issue but we don't know when it will be fixed and no proactive communication on status - only a growing body of people like me getting increasingly frustrated. What does it take for an issue to be a show stopper? priority 1? affecting customer decisions priority?
    In my case I am in place where I am trying to make a platform decision and since this experience has happened I have subscribed to the live feed for this forum and as many relevant Adoble blogs, news feed etc. as I could find. I did this to get a feel for how well Adobe is supporting the mobile development on the AIR platform. Something increasingly important given recent decisions.
    My perception so far is quite poor especially for a recently released product, i.e. 4.6 release. In fact the release that finally addresses performance enough to make AIR mobile development a risk free decision. You would expect Adobe to be all over the boards like this - with core developers, platform experts contributing actively. My perception, rightly or wrongly, is of a community trying to support itself without much help, or clear communication from Adobe. In fact if you look at the the articles coming out of Adobe recently its all phonegap, html5 etc. It does not fill you with confidence for the future.
    To be clear - I have had a great experience with actionscript, flex etc and as a company we have developed the backend portion of our platform solely on Flex. I don't believe that we could have done it any other way and even now when I look at the alternatives for web development I feel vindicated in our decision.
    However, this rant is caused by a genuine frustration and fear. I don't expect this to get a meaningful response but maybe if there are enough voices it will create an overall improvement.

  • Logout from icloud?

    Hello!
    I have a small problem. I cannot log in on icloud on My ipad, and I have reset my password, and it did not work. When I try to "sign out" it says that all pictures ect that is stored on icloud will be deleted. Will all my pictures be deleted from my iPad, or just my icloud account?
    thank you!

    Hi colbyfrommoscow,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you need to log out of iCloud on your device but you have already changed your Apple ID, you may need to edit your Apple ID back to the email address that is signed into iCloud temporarily so that you can sign out. Once signed out on your device, you can edit your Apple ID back to the current address.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Restore from ICloud; will Corruption Return?

    1. I had a corrupt back up file; Genius backed up my Ipad to the Cloud. If I reset my Ipad and restore from the Cloud, will it be a possibility to reintroduce that corrupted back up file?
    2. Priot to today, I had placed more and different apps on the above Ipad, is there a way to back THESE up, restore the above (without restoring the corrupted back up file) and reposite these?
    That would be 2 KEWEL!
    TIA

    The answer to your first question is yes, it may reintroduce the corruption back to your phone.  It depends on whether the problem is with the iOS or with the data stored in the backup.  You wouldn't be able to find out without trying.
    On your second question, backing up and restoring is all or nothing.  It isn't possible to selectively back up or restore specific apps or other data.

  • HT4859 I have just restored and updated my ipad 2 with the new iOS 6 software resulting in me losing all apps and items i had saved wen i had the  version 5 software. How do i restore my files from icloud if its possible

    How do i restore my files back onto my ipad 2 from icloud. I lost all things while updating to iOS 6 software. I can see that all the items are there on my icloud but i cant see the restoring option

    Hi Taunda
    When you went through the iOS 6 set up - did you see the option to restore?
    When you go through Setup Assistant on a new iOS 5 device, 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.
    After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.
    Note: You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device. You may also be prompted to enter the password for for any iTunes, iBookstore and App Store accounts for which iCloud Backup is attempting to restore content.
    A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.

  • How can I disconnect from iCloud without password.

    Hi,
          I have lost my Apple ID password, So I have lost my iCloud password too. I am unable to login on iCloud service. I was unable to Off option "Find my iPhone"
    I tried everything but nothing is happen, i cant logout from iCloud, The mail ID which registered with apple that is also blocked. So nothing is option balance, then I reset device to Factory Restore option. But now again iPhone is asking the same icloud account and password. Now this iPhone is useless.
          Actually one of my colleague bought this iPhone 4 from second hand market one year back, he took the same apple ID what seller has given him and he is using it since 1 year, Now that guy may change his password and this guy is unable to use appstore. To put new ID we need to log out from old ID and to log out from old ID phone is asking password, so there is the problem started.
       Can anyone help me to log out from iCloud without password, please...
    Thanks
    Pramod

    From what you say the phone has been 'Activation Locked' by a previous owner - who presumably either sold it to the second-hand market or had it stolen and it landed up there.
    If this is the case, only the person who set the lock can unlock it. If you can't get hold of them to do this then the phone is permanently unusable.
    Even if you had set up a new Apple ID and logged into that the Activation Lock would have kicked in when you reset or updated the phone.

  • Recovery of lost Notes in IPad from iCloud.

    I was trying to sort out a compromised email account on my IPad when I ignorantly deleted the notes. I need to retrieve them but I do not know how. Is it possible to have it restored from ICloud? I need help. Please.

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the notes were gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those notes.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the notes that you need, recover deleted notes from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"
    Gmail emails are very commmon sources for notes and you may have been adding them to the gmail notes without even knowing it.
