how can i backup a reset the iCloud account of somebody who dies? (my brother)

Apple's Terms of Use for iCloud say:
No Right of Survivorship
You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Apple ID or Content within your Account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate your Account may be terminated and all Content within your Account deleted. Contact iCloud Support at www.apple.com/support/icloud for further assistance.
Basically you have no rights in his account: if you know his password you can enter the account and retrieve personal data to use elsewhere. If he had purchased music, films or apps in iTunes you cannot transfer these to your own account.
If you don't know the password it seems doubtful that Apple will allow you access to it. However as far as all these questions are concerned the authoritative answers must come from Apple so you will need to contact them as indicated above.

TS3988 How can I set up a new icloud account with a new apple id when I have an old account for which I have lost the password and security questions etc

I have changed isp and no longer have access to rescue email addresses and have lost my details. I have set up a new apple id and want to set up icloud with this but cant get past the icloud preferences pane with the old address. How do I get around this?

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?

The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device. This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on. Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore. Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another. Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

How can I transfer "notes" from one icloud account to another, and other account questions

Hey,
I currently have 2 icloud accounts. (In total I have 4 seperate apple ids somehow, 1 @me.com, 1 @icloud.com, 1 @gmail.com, and 1 apple id. But that's a problem I'll talk about later).
Right now, all of my notes got deleted from my iphone, but they are on the icloud account A: (@me.com account's icloud.) When I reconnect this account to my iphone, the notes are there. However, when I turn off note syncing in my iphone's icloud settings, I'm not prompted to "keep data on iphone" (like I am prompted with contacts). Instead, they are just deleted from the iphone. So there's no way to connect the icloud account A, download the data, and reconnect icloud account B.
How can I get these notes from icloud account A to icloud account B (or just getting it from icloud account A to my iphone.)
And while I'm at it, how can I get the @icloud account that was linked with the @me.com account to get linked to the @gmail.com account.
Sorry if this is confusing.

Let me rephrase my comment... I used Windows to sync my data without icloud, we decided to switch to mac and purchased a $2000 osx driven machine only to find out apple has "secretly" disabled mobile sync services and replaced it with icloud syncing. There was NO documentation stating this fact before my purchase, it was only realized when users started running into syncing issues that apple disclosed mavericks no longers uses mobile syncing services and "requires you to use icloud to sync device information" on this forum.
They removed a integral part of my privacy without telling me, or warning me, before i spent money on non-refundable merchandice.
These are not mindless, I was forced into mavericks when i purchased a new mac... All other versions of OSX provide modile syncing services.
And I was not threatening lawsuit, i was stating a thought that this leavs apple open to a lawsuit for people who want their data kept private, they are FORCING the use of icloud now.

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.

Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

No, unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer any purchased content from one account to another. As I said Apple won't let you do that.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

TS4002 I have two mail accounts. One is called icloud and one is called Icloud. How do I get rid of the Icloud account without removing the icloud account?

Under Mailboxes, there is a list:
     All Inboxes
     Icloud
     iCloud
     VIP
Under Accounts
@ Icloud
(cloud symbol) iCloud
In Settings, there is only one (cloud symbol) account: iCloud
Under Settings ==> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, there are two accounts.
     iCloud is for Mail, Notes, Photos, find My iPad, Documents & Data
     Icloud is only for Mail, Notes
I can turn mail off for the Icloud account. If I turn off Notes, there is a warning: All IMAP notes will be removed from you iPad.
I can turn off mail and notes for the iCloud account. No problems
The Default Account for Notes is Icloud.
I have changed the Default Accounts for Notes to "On My iPad."   Still not able to turn of the notes in the Icloud Account.
And, now for something completely different! The multiple mail box accounts do not show up in the Mail app. There are still multiple accounts for notes.

I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

I have lost all my pics on my PC and would like to upload them to iCloud from my iPad. As they aren't in Photostream, but are in "Photos" or "iPhoto", how can I upload them to the iCloud?

They are currently in Albums within Photos, and also within albums in iPhoto, but not in Photostream. How do I upload them to the iCloud (I have bought space to ensure they will all load).
Help!

HT204053 How can I see whats in my Icloud account

How can I see whats in my icloud account

You can see all of your data from within the apps on your device that are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, etc.). You can also see some of it on icloud.com.
To get an idea what is using your storage, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.

HT5312 How can I retrieve or reset the forgotten security questions?

I have forgotten my security questions answers.
How can I retrieve them or create a new one?
Thank you for your support.

Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

How can I set or reset the page that is loaded when I open a new tab using Ctrl t ?? by

I recently downloaded a program that has, as an undesired additional action, apprently setup Yahoo as the page that opens by default when I open a new tab using <Ctrl> <t> (or the <+> symbol on the tab bar). This is aggravating to me, particularly as I have not been able to find a way to stop it occurring.
I expect that it is buried somewhere in my profile, but I also have not found a way to explore or edit the contents of my profile.
There is a JScript script file called "user" in ...\profiles\4g4vpust.default that I suspect is associated with the behaviour, but renaming it achieved nothing.
Prior to this, my new tabs used to open as blank pages, i.e. did not load any URL and I was happy with that. How can I get back to that state?

Did it add the freeze net assistant add-on? That add-on is known to do this. If you have that add-on you can uninstall it Firefox should revert to the default behavior.
If you do not have that add-on, another add-on will be causing this, you can use the procedure in the following link to identify what one - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
