Can i set up icloud on my childrens phones without transfering all my info to their phones

Im setting up two new iphone 5s for my kids using my Id and password. I have installed find my iphone on their phones and will use icloud. How I do that without transferring all stored data to their phones.

What are you attempting to accomplish by setting up your ID on their devices? It really depends on what your objectives are and how much functionality you want the kids to have on their devices that will inform the solution.
For example, if you are primarily using Find My iPhone as a way to be able to find your kids' location at any given time, you might want to look into using an app like Find My Friends instead, and setting up their own Child Apple/iCloud IDs:

  • I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite

    I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
    My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
    When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.

    I found another way to correct this...
    1)  Select Message, then go to Preferences,
    2)  a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
    3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
    4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name.  This may likely be your Apple ID  ****@me.com
    5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
    6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
    7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
    I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages.

  • HT4759 I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?

    I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?

    To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account.  If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

  • I can't set up iCloud account.

    I can't set up iCloud account.

    If you're trying to create an iCloud account on your PC, you can't.  You have to create it on your iOS device (by going to Settings>iCloud and entering your Apple ID).  After creating the account, you can then sign into your iCloud ID on your PC.

    No, not without updating to iOS 6.  (iCloud requires iOS 5 or higher, but at this point you would have to update to iOS 6 as iOS 5 is no longer available.)  Follow this guide to update from iOS 4: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972.
