Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it?  Thank you

Hey Hindfromlondon,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.  Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.  
You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud.  See:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
What is an Apple ID?
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.
For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
and further down:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Regarding iCloud storage check out

I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
Take care,

    This should help you out after  you have created the new user account. You are trying to make it much more complex than it needs to be. Just follow the directions in:

  • I can not create a new user account on eprint

    i can not create a new user account on eprint. I have been trying for over an hour and it repeats telling me that my email addresses are not entered correctly, however they match. ? 

    I have tried to create an account via ePrintCenter and it seems that the published application has several flaws in interpreting the provided input.
    1) In the Filed for last Name I enter my last name, which consist of only Alph Characters. The form however thinks that there is some sort of special character and rejects my Input.
    2) E-Mail address. is not identical; OK, so I do a quick OCR on the E-Mail and guess what they are identical. Again the form Fails to recognize this.
    3) Enter a password (2 Fields) and a third is displayed which is marked as "*required" but is not labeled as to what the required info could possibly be. Or is it a 3 password confirmation box, who knows.
    All I know is that a simple registration is a major pain with this HP site.
    Any Help as to how to alleviate this would of course be greatly appreciated.

  • HT3226 My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one

    My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one.. ???

    I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
    Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

  • I have a problem that I can not load or even close the download in iTunes, it turns out I have hanging in the mode, and because of that I can't download from AppStore, because it turns out that the other programs I have on standby. What do I do? Thank you

    I have a problem that I can not load or even close the download in iTunes, it turns out I have hanging in the mode, and because of that I can't download from AppStore, because it turns out that the other programs I have on standby. What do I do? Thank you.

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I don't have the microphone on my keyboard for voice recording to text on my ipad and I have the newest one. Do I have to download an app for it to be added?

    I don't have the microphone on my keyboard for voice recording to text on my ipad and I have the newest one. Do I have to download an app for it to be added? When I bought it the salesman showed it to me on the one he was demonstrating, but when I activated my account on mine, it doesn't show up.

  • Can I create a new itunes account and synch my iPod to it?

    I have an iTunes account, but have only bought music and apps on it for my son's iPod Touch.
    Now I have my own iPod Touch and we want to have separate accounts. I already synched my new iPod to my own account - the one where all his music is.
    What can I do at this point to let my son have his own account with all the music/apps he has purchased?
    Can I create a new account and synch my iPod to that? Can I change the email address on the first account to my son's email?

    Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

  • Can I create a new itunes account and still keep everything I have right now on my iPhone?

    My family uses the same itunes account but I want to have my own now. I was wondering if I can create my own itunes account along with keeping everything in my iphone now including apps, music, contacts, mail, texts, etc.

    Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

  • Can I create a new apple account for a product that is already associated with an existing account?

    I have had an apple id account for a few years that is shared by myself and my family. It includes 3 ipod touches, 1 ipod nano, and 1 ipad. All of the devices are synced to each other and settings keep getting changed around between them, which is becoming an annoyance. I would like to create 2 separate apple id accounts, and keep my existing one, is this possible? Will I and my family be able to sync the devices to new accounts without having to reset each product? any advice and/or suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.

    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?

  • I have multiple apple phones on one account  can i create a new iTunes account for other iphone

    I have multiple iphones on one billing account as well as itunes.  Can I create a separate itunes account for other iphone?

    You don't need to create two separate libraries.
    If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
    To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

  • How do you create a new trial AWS developer instance if the existing one is corrupt.

    I've got an instance I can no longer connect to. I haven't done much with it so I'd like to delete it and start over.  I don't see that as an option.  Is there a way to do it?

    Never mind.  I was able to create a new one once I "terminated" the old one and waited for it to finish.  I didn't want to terminate the old one because I was hoping I could pull some of my work off but since you can't create a new one without first deleting the old one, and I could no longer even connect to the old one,  I went ahead and terminated it.
