How to transfer content to new iCloud account?

I have a friend who had her iPhone with the iCloud account setup with her son's Apple ID/account.
The son has been kicked out.
The iPhone/Apple ID associated with the iCloud account as well as all the things that go with the Apple setup are all associated with the son's iTunes/Apple, iCloud account, but she has the phone under her name, etc.
How does one transfer all of the music, pictures, e-mail configurations, settings, apps, etc. EVERYTHING that was purchased and part of the iPhone content, even though it is associated with the son's account?
Step by step would be appreciated.
THe biggest issue as experienced in the past performing similiar tasks is when you plug the phone into a computer, it syncs with iTunes, and need to know how to associat that as an additional proble (for the new account).
Appreciate any help.

There are two issues you are discussing : itunes store account and icloud accounts - they are different.  As for itunes store purchases, they are forever associated with the ID used to buy them.  You cannot transfer those purchases to any other account.
As for icloud, to get the Apple data (contacts, reminders, etc.) to another account do the following.  Note that for emails, its easiest to use a computer, go to the icloud account in the Apple Mail client and drag all emails to another account or location on the Mac.
Moving Apple data from one icloud account to another...
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

    How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and sign out. Any synced data, such as calendars and contacts, will be removed.
    To get a new ID: go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address from any ID you already have.
    Then go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in there, enabling any data types you want to sync in the list there. You will be asked to create a new @icloud.com address when enabling Mail.

  • HT4436 How do I create a new iCloud account?

    How do I create a new iCloud account?

    You can change the non-Apple emailing address which forms the ID for your iCloud login to another functioning non-Apple address at http://appleid.apple.com so there may be no need to create a new ID.
    If you really want to create a new iCloud account you will need to create a new Apple ID at the same address, using as the ID an address which has not been previously associated with an Apple ID. Then you can create a new iCloud account by signing in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud on a Mac or an iOS device.

  • How can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my apps?

    I'm sharing an iCloud and iTunes account and want to have my own. Can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my contact list? If I keep the existing iTunes account with the new iCloud acct, can I reload my apps without purchasing them again? I understand I can create a new iTunes acct afterwards.

    OK, so you can create a separate Apple ID for yourself that you use for your Messages, iCloud, Mail, FaceTime, etc. and keep the one that you have your Apps on as your iTunes "Family" Account.
    Before you set up your new Apple ID, be sure to delete your iCloud account from your device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the account. Save your Contacts on your phone so you can merge them with your new iCloud account. Your notes, and Photos will still be on your old iCloud account, but if you want to keep any of your photos on your new iCloud account, it would be a good idea to import all of your photos to your computer first, so you can selectively download them to your device. (Note: only your Photo Stream will go away when you delete your iCloud account. Your Camera Roll will stay in place. It's just a good idea to back up that Camera Roll to a computer or to your new iCloud account immediately once you have set it up.
    You then would set up a brand new Apple ID for you under Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
    Once you get it set up, go into your devices and sign off the following:
    Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your "Family" Apple ID and Sign Out
    Settings>Facetime, click on your Apple ID and sign out
    You will leave your "Familiy" Apple/iTunes ID signed on on the iTunes & App Store, becasuse you willl continue to share your iTunes account with the family. Here is a little more info about using two Apple IDs:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    Once you have your new ID set up, go back into Messages and FaceTime and sign back in with your new ID
    Also, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID, and be sure to "Merge" your contacts into your new iCloud account.
    Post back with any questions!

  • How do i transfer to a new icloud account

    I am having to create a new iCloud account, how do i do this and not lose all of my information. When i try deleting existing account it tells me all information will be lost. Thanks for the help.

    You will get an option to save a copy of the iCloud data on your phone when you delete the account.
    To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • HT204053 how do i create a new icloud account

    hi i have had problems with my icloud since i started as i couldnt get my email address and my apple id just to be the same from get go i started off with a mobile me account and now it has changed over to icloud completly i dont no how to change any of my details i am getting married soon so want to change my email address and it would be so much better if i could have the same email for my itunes and everything else any one no how to resolve this

    Your ex-MobileMe address is (in both @me.com and @icloud.com versions) your Apple ID and your login. You cannot change this. However you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    The only alternative is to create a completely new Apple ID (for which you will need a non-Apple email address to become the ID) and open a new iCloud account with that by signing in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and choosing a new @icloud.com address.
    If you do this you can continue to use the old login for iTunes. Or you could change the login to the new ID but you can't transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another.

  • How do I add a new iCloud account to the same computer?

    My wife has a new iPad. We use the same computer so I want her to have her new iCloud account on our computer. I have a iCloud account already.

    This solved my problem. However, she has to log in to use her account which means I have to log out. It would be nice to be able to log in and log out with a few clicks of the mouse but that is probably asking too much.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How can I create a new iCloud account on a preowned phone (with that persons account signed on) without deleting their whole account entirely (on all devices)? Totally confused, please help:-(

    My mum has upgraded to the iPhone 5, she has given me her 4S with a new contract etc. the problem is all her contacts are still on here and calendar dates etc . All from her iCloud account. I have my own account but I don't know how to get my phone on that without deleting her iCloud account entirely and from all devices and her new phone. Please help, I'm probably confusing things more but I really need some help

    Just delete her iCloud account from (now) your iPhone 4s - doing so will delete it from your phone and your phone only.  It will do nothing to any of her devices with her iCloud account set up on them.
    Then login in with your iCloud account login to set up your iCloud account on that iPhone 4S.
    If you want to set up the iPhone 4s with a clean slate, just delete her iCloud account, then go into general settings, under the reset tab and select "erase all content and settings".  Then run through the activation and setup dialogues with your own information.

  • How can I create a new iCloud account for a familiy member having a new iDevice and reuse one of my aliases for it

    Hi there,
    I moved into iCloud from the very beginning and started with one iCloud account for me and my family, making use of email aliases for family members. Now the number of personal iDevices grows and I want to create a new and separate iCloud Account for my son. The pity is, that I reserved his full name already as alias address on my initial iCloud account. If I now delete this alias, can I create a new account with the former alias as new primary email address?
    Or is there at least any transfer procedure supported for aliases between different accounts?
    Thanks for your help, lauterbachj

    Couldn't agree more... the folks who are getting penalized for this are the early adopters of .Mac/iCloud dating from the days when the only way to implement a "family" account was to use aliases. Now all my kids' / my wife's name aliases sit in my account, unable to move. I guess the good news is that if I delete them nobody else will get them, but this seems a pretty poor consolation.
    Would it really be so difficult to implement a "move this alias to another iCloud account" option that requires the "sender" and "receiver" to exchange some sort of code to implement the transation in order to prevent fraud?

  • How do I create a new iCloud account?

    I've tried to find out how to create an iCloud account for my nephew's new iPod touch.  When I look at the instructions online there's always sort of a catch 22.
    You need an apple ID, for that you need an emailaddress. I would want that to be a '[email protected]' address. The latter I can't create without the apple ID.  What am I missing?  I read in these support pages that creating new '[email protected]' addresses is possible.
    Anyone who can give me easy to understand advice on how to accomplish this? I don't seem to find instructions to get this done. 
    Thanks for helping!
    Bart

    Can ew also do this on an iPod Touch? When we click Delete Account, we get the message, "If you delete your account, all documents stored in iCloud will be deleted from this iPod Touch."
    If we delete the account, will we lose apps data (like my daughter's high score on Temple Run!)?
    Thanks.
