Will resetting my old iPhone delete anything from my new one?, Will resetting my old iPhone delete anything from my new one?

Basically my mum got a new iPhone 5s as an upgrade to her iPhone 4s and she tells me that when she deletes things on her old one it deletes things on her new one. I can't iMessage her without it telling me that it is my step dad as he had the old one for about 3days. I have turned iMessage off on the old one but it is still happening.
I thought the best option would be to delete everything from the old one and reset it to factory settings. However she is hesitant as she thinks everything will be deleted from the new one and the iCloud.
I need to check the iMessage is turned on on the new one but she won't let me near it at the minute.
And suggestions would be great

There is nothing to delete.
Plug the new iPhone in and sync.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

If I reset/restore my old iPhone 4 for my sister to use, will it delete the photos in the photo stream on the phone from iPhoto on my macbook?

I want to delete everything off the phone but don't want the photo stream to update on the mac and delete the photos saved on it from the iPhone 4.
Thanks

If you proceed like described above, your Photo Stream should not be erased in iCloud, but it would be safer to download all Photo Stream photos to events on your Mac.

HT4847 do you know if i delete my old iphone backup on icloud, will it delete everything off my iphone that was put on from the backup?

I want more space, and i had recently got a new iphone and i backed it up with icloud so i have all my important info... if i delete the old back up from november, will it delete what i had just put on my phone off my phone itself?

No. It will only permanently delete the backup from your iCloud account. It won't do anything to the data on your phone.

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used. I now have a new icloud account, if I delete the old one will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone?

My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used so I was never able to verify it or anything. I now have a new icloud account and I want to backup my phone before I get a new one in a couple of days. If I delete the old account will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone (remember they've never been backed up)? Thanks!

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

HT5661 If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone as suggested, will it effect my new iphone that I have already transferred my data to? Do I need to turn off Icloud on old phone before erasing data ?

If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone will it effect the data I have already transferred to my ne iphone?

Hello ski12
Restoring or erasing all content and settings will just turn the feature of iCloud off and not deleting from iCloud. If you want to, turn off iCloud before you go through with erasing it.

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

The iCloud was never verified therefore never backing up anything on my iphone 4s because it was the wrong email and now I'm trying to make a new one but it says if I delete the account it will remove it's data from my phone. Will I lose everything?

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It won't affect any photos in photo stream but any photos within the back up itself will go.

Hi, I have deleted my old apple ID as it was my old email address and replaced it with a new one but cant seem to make my Iphone and Ipad forget the old one and Icloud will not let me in. also when I try my old password or try and reset it it will not let

I deleted/changed my old apple ID (from the apple webb site) and I have changed all my Apple products onto the new ID, but they all randomly ask for a password for the old ID (which now will not work and I can't change) the biggest problem is that my icloud account will not let me in to do anything.
my knowledge of Apple is limited.

We need to be clear here. Did you create a second ID, or just modify the single ID?

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Hi I originally had my itunes on an old computer, but now I put it on a new computer. My iphone 4s still has pictures on it that were synched from the old computer, but are not on my new computer. My iphone will not let me delete them.

Hi my iphone 4s still has pictures on it from my old computer. I recently put my itunes on a new computer and the old photos albums can not be deleted off my iphone. It is taking up too much room and I want them off. How do i get rid of them if they are not on my new computer?

Yes. You can import those current pics on your phone to your computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
then you can sync it back to your phone http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
If you don't want to do this, then you will have to live with those sync pics on yoru phone.

Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.
