Q: If delete icloud from ipad 4 ios 8, will everything be there the same when sign back in?

So My problem is this, I want to change my email associated with my icloud account to the same one i just updated with my apple ID, along with the new password ofcourse. BUT after i did the apple one suddenly my icloud account still has old email BUT uses the new password?

well regardless I found out the only way to do so is to delete icloud from my device, (iPad 4, iOS 8,) and then sign in fresh and during the sign in I will have oppurtunity to update email etc...

***BUT- WILL ALL MY STUFF/PHOTOS/ETC... BE SAFE AND ALL HERE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I SIGN BACK IN???***

I cannot take chances with losing stuff and do not have another device/computer to back up to as plan B not to memtion im to impatient for all that stuff lol.

If someone helps me do this right I would love to offer them anything I have in return, like Free clipart i usually charge for or some paper, some cool ipad homescreen wallpapers with the app shelves and all...If your interested leave your email and we can chat, but please someone help me!!!!!

THank you so super much to all who take the time to reply and help,

Hello judysings,
thank you so much for taking time to reply! Unfortunatley I already changed my apple ID email, which is what started this problem. I need to change my iCloud account email to match now and to do that I need to first sign out and then sign back in, but I first wanted to be sure that if I did this everything on my icloud would return as normal, I mean isnt that what icloud is for, a backup? So I am assuming it should but read some things and got nervous and just need to know for sure. I mean photos in the cloud, and all the stuff i have in apps that stores via icloud etc... I cant lose it and have no other computer to backup on.

Hi Lillyalice,
I would suggest getting in touch with one of our technical advisors. They have the ability to review your iCloud account with you. iCloud should not be considered your only back up for your iPad. A local backup to a computer is also recommended.
