What will happen to the information on iCloud, if I delete the iCloud account on one device?*

My iPad I have inherited from my wife. I wish to delete her iCloud account on my iPad and connect it to my existing iCloud account. If I delete her iCloud account from my IPad will the information on her iCloud account be disrupted (lost)?

No.  Deleting the account will only delete the account from the iPad, not from iCloud.  Her devices won't be effected by this.  When you delete the account, you will need to provide the password (if using iOS 7).  You will then be given the option to delete the iCloud data from the iPad.
However, if she is giving the iPad to you, it's best to completely erase the device by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings.  That will remove the iCloud account as well as unregister it for iMessage, FaceTime, etc.  You can then go through the setup screens as if it were a new iPad.

  • What will happen when I put my jailbroken iPhone 4 in the computer?

    I have a jailbroken iphone 4 still running on 4.3.2 firmware and I would like to get rid of the jailbreak and update it to 5. I understand that it will take my jailbreak off, which I have no problem with, but I'm terrified to plug into the computer. The computer I used for my iphone and itunes got a virus and everything was wiped out. I recently got a new macbook, but none of my info for itunes is on there and I'm scared if I put my iphone into the macbook I'll lose all of contacts! That's what I'm worried about. I don't care about the music or the apps and not so much the pictures. I'm just scared to lose my contacts. So does anyone know what will happen since it's jailbroken and I'm on a completely different computer?

    When you jailbreak you void your warranty and give up any right to help on these forums.
    Google your problem.
    Good luck.

    Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
    E.g from the sugarsync website
    Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
    However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

  • 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?

  • Current library, new ipod- what will happen?

    I am thinking of exchanging my 2 week old ipod for a new one b/c it has frozen 3 times already, althougth it has been easily reset. The store people ( circuit city) reccomended that I do so. What will happen when I plug in my new ipod to the itunes software and library currently on my computer? Do I have to uninstall the ipod? I can't uninstall itunes b/c I have 15 movies I just paid for in thr library. Thanks for any advice.

    plug in the new ipod and it will sync your information..you do not have to uninstall the old ipod. its pretty simple.

  • What will happen to Keychaine on my Mac?

    What will happen to Keychaine on my Mac when I move to iCloud? Will my Keychain, because it cannot be moved to iCloud, be erased on my Mac or it will stay untouched?

    It will stay exactly the way it is now. 

  • Testing Lightroom 5 - What will happen with my Lightroom 3 catalogue??

    I am currently working with Lightroom 3. What will happen with my catalogue file(s) if I start the test of Lightroom 5? Is it possible to switch bak to Lightroom 3 after testing without restore of the "old" Lightroom 3 catalogue?

    In short, Yes.
    When you install and launch LR5 it will find your catalog(s) and when it tries to open them it will promt you to approve conversion from 3 to 5.
    This will duplicate your catalog (not the assets) and leave your version 3 catalogs untouched.
    If you want to return to a version 3 catalog for some reason then you will simply open it with LR3 which will remain on your machine.
    Note that the newer features will not be available or readable by the version 3 catalogs. So if you make changes to a raw file using new tools those changes will not show when viewing the file in LR3 catalogs.
    To properly "test" LR5 for your purposes I recommend you catalog new files and not the existing ones you have until you are comfortable with LR5. When you are comfortable, then upgrade your current catalogs.

  • What will happen to the stuff in my keychain after today? I don't want iCloud. Can I keep the keychain? in my system?

    what will happen to the stuff in my keychain after today? I don't want iCloud. Can I keep the keychain in my system under lion? Can someone please help me?

    Thank you Sig. Well I keep all my passwords in my keychain. I'm concerned I'll lose them after today. I understand that keychain will be obsolete after today. I don't want icloud either, because I don't want all my personal info on a server. I want to keep my personal information in my system. Am I making any sense? Can you make any suggestions or offer any insights around this?

  • 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.)

  • HT5225 What will happen to added mail accounts my family members use?  None of them meet the system requirements.

    I have a family account on MobileMe.  Only I have a Mac that meets the system requireent, and the other four does not.  What will happen to the other four MobilMe accounts after I move to iCloud?  Thank you.

    They will each need to have a Mac with Lion 10.7.2 or later installed and configure their own separate iCloud account.

  • What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

    What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

    If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
    Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

    I never used icloud before so there is no data to back up from. I just spoke  to the apple store and they said that if I do plug it in, all the data will be swiped....is there a program I can use to transfer my data from my phone to computer without loosing it all ???
