What will happen if you delete an iCloud account on a device that has the same iCloud account on a different device?

I want to switch iCloud accounts on my iPod but I don't want it to delete my iCloud on my iPhone. Will it delte it? Both iPhone and iPods have the same iCloud account.

It will only delete it from the device you press Delete on.

  • How can i get a list with all devices that have the same icloud account for iMessage, FaceTime, Reminders, etc...

    Hi, I want to know which devices (iMac, MacBook, iPod, iPhone, iPad & PC) are using my iCloud account, specifically because of iMessage going to devices that im not aware of.
    A list of those devices would be great.
    I do have a list of the ones with find my i activated, but i want the full list. Or at least the ones being used by FaceTime or iMessage!
    Thank you in advance!

    I don't think there's a single place that will give you a list but you can check your devices to create one.  On your iOS devices go to Settings>Messages>Receive At and check the Apple ID at the top.  You can check FaceTime at Settings>FaceTime.  You can check iCloud at Settings>iCloud>Account.  On your Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud> click on Account Details.  On your PC go to Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet>iCloud (you Apple ID is listed on the left).

    What will happen if I delete my husband's iCloud account from my iPad?

    You can delete the iCloud Account from your device but that doesn’t delete your account on iCloud.com. You can still use the user name and password you selected when signing up for iCloud to log in on the iCloud website.

  • I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

    I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
    I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

    If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account.  It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account.  If you don't need to backup you can delete it.  (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup.  Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)

  • What will happen if I delete sleepimage?

    What will happen if I delete sleepimage? I've read through several posts here but I'm not clear exactly what this does and if there are some dire consequences if I delete this from my laptop to make more room on my HD. Any clarifications much appreciated!

    This is a file that the contents of your computer's memory are written to when your computer goes to sleep. It will always be there, or recreated if it's missing, as long as you have a newer Intel based Mac with the new safe sleep mode.
    Here's a [MacWorld article|http://www.macworld.com/article/53471/2006/10/sleepmode.html] explaining the sleepimage file.
    As a general rule though, you really shouldn't be deleting files from the /private directory without knowing exactly what they are for... the directory is labelled /private for a reason

  • HT4847 If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free?  So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?

    If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free?  So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?
    If this multi purchase if devices is not rewarded with a larger cloud storage being available, would it then be best to have several separate cloud accounts?
    Would you lose the ability to mesh data between devices???  Of could you choose to share a smaller part of the data and yet save the rest of the device data to their own cloud?  So in other words, split a devices stored data between 2 different icloud accounts?   One community iCloud account for partial data and individual account for data that does not need to be shared with the other devices, however it needs to be backed up.  The simpler solutions would be If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, an amount of storage made available per device (ie: 5 units of storage free per device)
    ~ So that you are rewarded for the additional Apple devices by giving 5 more units of storage or backup space per device

    Nobody here is an Apple employee, and my Christmas Season has been great, thanks very much. Neither am I jealous, I just abhor the fact that so many people these days expect more and more for free, in addition to what they already get for free. First world problems...
    Obviously Apple do consider people with multiple devices, since the whole purpose of the service is to keep data in sync across multiple devices. Clearly, after consideration, Apple decided to give 5GB of storage for free and provide customers with the option to buy more storage if they want/need more, in line with competing services.
    Everyone has their own set of unique circumstances but does that mean everyone should be rewarded with extras for free? At what point should it be considered acceptable to actually pay for additional extras you want?
    And by the way, somebody expressing a different opinion, and discussing people's expectations is not being rude. Aren't you from the country that supposedly takes 'freedom of speech' rather seriously?

  • How do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer

    how do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer. Baiscally the problem is that one comuter and one account has always been sued for eey persons itunes. Now if we want to be able to backup and use itunes on our own computers fro our iphones and such, how will all he data that is on our phones not be deleted once its plugged into a new computer? Also, is theere a way to get all the stuff on thw current itunes onto each computer, via differtn account name?

    option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

  • HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  How do I do this?

    I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  Any help on how I can I do this?

    You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

  • If I have multiple apple devices and use the same iCloud login on them, shouldn't apple give us more iCloud storage for each device

    If I have multiple apple devices and use the same iCloud login on them, shouldn't apple give us more iCloud storage for each device

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    No. Apple only offers 5 GB of free iCloud storage for all your devices, no matter how many you have got. If you need more iCloud storage, purchase storage.

  • What can i use instead of microsoft word that has the same capabilities for school work etc

    what can i use instead of microsft word that has the same capabilities so i can do school work etc.

    You could use LibreOffice which is a free open source Office clone. The only downside is that by default it ddoesn't save in Office formats, you have to specifically choose that option. GoogleDocs is another free Office like product.

  • What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows if iTunes removed them from the store?

    I'm honestly sorry to bother you. I tried to google this and cloudn't find a good answer.
    What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows (that I haven't downloaded on my devices) if iTunes removed them from the store? Will I still be able to watch/download them from iCloud?
    I'm trying to buy all my favourite movies and TV shows without downloading them, to keep them in iCloud that I can access from all my devices whenever I want, but I'm scared that iTunes will remove them from my iCloud if something happens to the contract between them and the production company. Should I worry about that?
    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.
    Best,
    Faisal

    Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
    But the thing is, I don't want to download ANYTHING because I don't have storage. That's why I want to buy them and watch them through iCloud (on my Mac iTunes) without downloading.
    I know that it's safer to download them. But does "safer" mean that iTunes might not let me access my purchases through iCloud?
