How can I move information from one icloud account to a brand new one?

I've shared an icloud account with my sister for years and I want to get one with just my information. However, I'm not sure how to move or copy all of my information from my old icloud account into a brand new one and not lose any. Making a brand new one for my sister and keeping the old one isn't an option because she doesn't want to lose anything either. Help???

To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want 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 that you want to keep, 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 (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to iCloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

    how can i move contacts from outlook on my pc to my new mac?

    In Outlook export the contacts as vCard files and then it just a matter of opening Address book and either importing them or you can drag them into the app.
    It's a pretty simple process.

  • Just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. transferred data from my old macbook over n it created another user name. that's actually good--xcept for music, which i want on my new acct. How do i move files from my "old comp" acct to my new one?

    i just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. when i transferred data from my old macbook over, it created another user name (i called it "old computer"). That's actually good--I'm not going to be accessing old files frequently--except for music, which i want on my new user name. How do i move files from my "old comp" account to my new one? Is there a way to easily move large #'s of files, or just one by one? I've googled extensively but can only find instructions for OSX 10.6 and previous, which talks about the "Shared folder," which I can't seem to find.

    That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over.

  • How can I transfer information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro?

    How can I transfer information information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro? Does anyone have an answer because I spoke to 2 people at Apple & both sent me the wrong cables.....

    Did they mention Migration Assistant?  You can use MA with FireWire, limit is the speed of the older unit.  MA will guide you and allow you to choose what to transfer.

  • How can i move contacts from my gmail account

    Is there a way to move contacts from my gmail account to my IPhone 4?

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.

    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • How can I restore data from my iCloud account on a new iPhone 5c with a previous SW version that my old (stolen) iPhone 5?

    Hello everybody,
    I need help to restore data from my iCloud account on an unused iPhone 5c because my iPhone 5 with a newer iOS update was stolen. When I try I get a message that I cannot retore my data because the iOS on my iPhone 5c is an older version than on the stolen iPhone 5.
    There must be a way to do this. I hope to hear from you
    thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
    After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

  • How can I move music from my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen iPad

    How can I move all the music on my 1st gen iPad to my new 3rd gen ipad?

    Transfer the music into iTunes on your computer and then sync the new iPad with iTunes.
    Or download all of the purchased music on the new iPad. You can download the songs again for free  in the Purchased Tab of the iTunes App  as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to buy the songs with originally.

  • How can you retrieve information from a iCloud backup on a previous iPhone? Backup from old phone is taking up a lot of space, would like to save pics to computer before deleting. How can I open up the backup from previous phone that is now on the iCloud?

    I originally had an iPhone 4 but switched service carriers back in June.  When I bought the new iPhone 4s, all my information from the iPhone 4 was saved as a backup on the iCloud.  On my new phone in the iCloud settings, Storage & Backup, it shows the backup from the iPhone 4.  This backup is taking up a lot of space on my phone and I would like to delete to avoid having to purchase more space.  However, I know I have pictures on this backup from the iPhone 4 that I would like to view and save on my computer if at all possible before deleting.  Is it possible to view the photos from this backup? If so, how? Thank you in advance for any assistance.  I hope this makes sense, lol, I'm not very computer literate.

    Unfortunately with the issues I mentioned above I don't even think I have enough space for that on the computer!  I have literally moved all moy pictures, music, etc. to another drive and all that's left are some small docs and applications.  I don't know how to find any more space on the thing and can't get things updated until I fix this...

  • How can I restore contacts from my iCloud account?

    I need to restore my contacts that were backed up to iCloud on 11/21/12.  How can I do that? 

    Your contacts are not included in the iCloud backup, they are synced to your iCloud account.  If your contacts are not in your iCloud account on icloud.com when you check with your computer you won't be able to recover them from icloud.

  • How do I access information from my iCloud account

    My iPhone is broken and I can't get a new one until Monday.  I'm traveling and don't have my laptop with me.  How can I access my contacts?

    Go to http://icloud.com on any computer (including PCs) with a reasonably up to date browser and click the 'Contacts' icon. Make sure to sign out afterwards.

  • HT4906 how can I delete photos from my icloud account

    I would like to free up space on my icloud account.  can I do that by deleting pictures?  How can I delete the pictures?

    This is the iPhoto for Mac forum. None of the services that use iPhoto in iCloud use up any of your space, so I suggest you try here:

  • How can I move music from my Galaxy 4 phone to my new Galaxy 4 tablet?

    I have moved music from my Itunes to my galaxy phone which is great. Now how do I move it to my tablet from my phone...any ideas?

    Wouldn't it have been simpler to upload your iTunes library to Google Play Music and use the Play Music app to access the music from both devices?

  • Can I move Lion from my old work laptop to a "new" one (still running snow leopard) without repurchasing?

    I had an old Macbook through my work that was running Leopard 10.5.8.  After a while, I could not use a few programs on it that I wanted to, and my company was not upgrading the OS, so I purchased Mountain Lion and upgraded to 10.8.4. Six months later, we got upgraded to "new" Macbooks that are running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  My question is, do I need to purchase Mountain Lion again? Or can I transfer Mountain Lion/the license from the old Macbook to the new one?
    Thanks!

    Of course! So simple, I can't believe I didn't even check.  Thanks a ton!
    Edit: crap: I meant to press that your comment solved my question, but wasn't paying attention and clicked my own.... Sorry!

  • How can I access documents from multiple iCloud accounts on my iPhone?

    I have a business and a personal life that are both heavily influenced by my Apple products and all stay in sync via iCloud. My only issue is that in order to access both personal and business iwork documents on the go, I have to carry two iphones with me - which really is inconvenient. Of course I could just use the business iphone but then I would not be able to access my family photo stream which is very important to me.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would think that there would be a simple solution to my issue but I need your help finding it.
    Thank you!

    There has to be a better solution than deleting and switching icloud accounts on my iphone each time I need to look at my work documents...
