Would like to delete stolen iPhone backup from ICloud

I have 4 devices listed on my iCloud acct. 1 of which was stolen. Since then have replaced and restored info to new phone. I would like to delete the stolen one but hesitate that I don't have all info 'pulled' off of it...how do I make sure I do?
It's currently taking up half of the space in my icloud account.

just back up your iPhone to your Mac using iTunes.

I recently purchased a new iPad. I would like to delete my email addresses from my old iPad so I can give it to my grandson. Can I do that without deleting the apps?

I recently purchased a new iPad. I would like to delete my email addresses from my old iPad so I can give it to my grandson. How do I do that for just the old iPad?

If you want to remove your Apple ID from the iPad you can just sign out in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. That will not delete the apps from the iPad. He will not be able to update the apps without your username and password and he will have to sign in again in order to that.
If he is going to use his own Apple ID and he begins to switch and back and forth from one ID to the other - and if he downloads anything again using your ID, he will lock himself out of his own ID for 90 days.
If you are asking how to remove your email account from the iPad go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>your email account>Delete account. That will not cause you to lose any apps either.
You should probably explain exactly what you want to do in order to clarify.

Thank you & ShineOn!

Best guess on this point, though my suggestions may be shot down to the very last ...
If Terence Devlin says I am an idiot, then I will have learned somwthing from his counter-points.
Your HDD may be running low on free space, at least enough free space to process 70K photos in a single shot (an entire library, all associated as one).
You need to see how much free space vs total disk capacity is left.
Then check the size of the files you are trying to "empty trach". If those two numbers are too close, you may need to try some gymnastics.
If you have not used CarbonCopyClone, you may want to get an external drive that is 2x your internal drive. If you have room enough, download (for free) CarbonCopyClone or SuperDuper (your call, both equally good). Make a clone of yuor drive onto this external single-partition drive, which should have more than enough free space without shutting down. You do this by booting holding the "option key" so that all operations are now on the external disk.
Then you can clone this external clone back with an empty trash. Then be more careful about how large the "trash gets", by disassociating bulks such as iPhoto.
This may be an overly dramatic approach and there may be ther ways to bypass "empty trash" usage of system resources. But nothing is destructive on your original disk until the last step of cloning back, and you have a new way of making an "emergency crash" bootable disk if even that does not work. I DO run with a CCC external bootable, by the way, so the "if nothing else" effect has value.

HT4847 I am unable to delete the last backup from icloud, i checked my all device setting but it still say "cannot delete icloud this time because it is in use,"Please tell me what should i do.

I am unable to delete the last backup from icloud, i checked my all device setting but it still say "cannot delete icloud this time because it is in use,"Please tell me what should i do

It still didn't work...
Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
APLZOD.resources
BookmarkDAV_client.resources
CoreDAV.resources
iCloud.resources
iCloudServices.resources
ShellStreams.resources
Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
thanks!!

When I try to delete old 4s backup from iCloud (I have a 5s) it tells me it cannot be deleted because in use. How to I fix that to delete it?

That should clear up on it's own when it times out in 3-5 days. Wait a few days, then try deleting it again.

HT1766 How long should it take to restore new iPhone backup from iCloud?

How long should it take to restore new 4s iPhone backup from iCloud?

That depends mostly on your Internet connection download speed, and how much data you have on the phone. It could take anything from a few minutes to several days. There is no "one size fits all" answer.

Can I delete the previous backups from iCloud on my iPhone 5?

I just got My iPhone 5 as well as a iPad 4. But I purchased the wrong iPad - before I returned the first one it backed itself up with iCloud and as we'll as the info from my iPhone 4S. It shows that I'm out of storage space but when I go to manage my storage I have info from I phone 4s and my first iPad 4 purchase. I exchanged my first iPad 4 a few days after because I wanted wifi as well as the other 3 or 4 g service.
i Think I'm just taking up space but what's actually stored is just the same crap over and over.

Go to settings-icloud-storage and back up and you can see each back up on your icloud, and delete the ones you don't want.

HT5824 How can I delete all my contacts from icloud with a single command?

I would like to delete all my contacts from iCloud so when I synchronize with my other devices, the one I already have don't be duplicated or deleted

If you delete all your iCloud contacts, then enable contact syncing with your other devices, the empty iCloud contacts are likely to overwrite the contacts on your other devices and you will lose them.
Do you have a master list of contacts on one of your devices that you are trying to replace the iCloud contacts with?

I can't delete the backup from icloud.

Change my iphone4 to iphone4s,use the same icloud ID.
I restore the iphone4 backup from icloud to my iphone4s,and the iphone4 will not use any more.
Now,I can see two devices' backup in my icloud.
I try to delete the iphone4 backup from iphone4s,but failed may time,why?

I have the same scenario. Few days ago replaced my iphone 4 and got a new 4S. initially i logged in with the same apple id and restore from the iphone 4 backup..That gave me some glitches so i restored the phone and decided to setup as a new device. So now i wanted to delete the iphone4 backup from icloud. I've been trying from the phone and the icloud control panel and still not able to delete it. It gives an error that itrs being used to restore a device or is in use.
I've tried all sorts of combination, deleting from the ipad, iphone, turning icloud back on/off,, iheck i even went as far as to delete my icloud account but that doest do anything. When i recreated the account, all my data was still there,, Seems like there is no way to delete your data once on the cloud!!!!

I currently have an old work phone that is synced to my iPad. I would like to delete the old work phone number from my iCloud without having to contact my previous employer. Is there a way to do this and replace it with my personal iPhone?

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

Someone sent me a recurring calendar appointment to my IPhone 4. I accepted it but now I would like to delete it since I am no longer attending. The planner was sent from Outlook. I cannot hit "edit" and "delete" on the IPhone. How can I delete this?

I deleted a contact, but they still show up in my text options to send. I would like to delete the contact from my texts too.

No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".

My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?

The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them. Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

I would like to know if "Restore Backup" to my new phone will load up all the information I have which backed up from my other phone. I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup".

I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup" to have all the other information I had from my other iPhone load up to my new iPhone. Hope you can help. What is the difference between "Backup" and "Restore Backup"; is all that different from synching.Thanks. Ana

That's up to you. Do you want the data on your old phone on your new phone? If so, you follow the directions here:

If you want to setup your new phone as a new device, then there is nothing you need to do.

How would I move the iphone backup from a mac to a pc and do a full restore so I don't lose my settings?

Hello,
I am moving from a mac to pc (i know, not many people do this, but it's for work) and I would like to transfer my itunes library with all of the iphone backups, playlist, playcounts, etc. over. Can I restore my iphone backups from the mac on the pc? How would I do that? How would I make sure all of my metedata for itunes is transferred properly as well?
Thanks much,
Colin Lancaster
