How do I create a new account and move 2 phones to it ?

I am getting divorced and my wife owns the account we share as a family. I want to move mine and my sons phone to a new account in my name and be removed from hers. How do I accomplish this?

You need to do an Assumption of Liability(AOL). She needs to authorize it and the rest is up to you.

    How do I create a new account and get stuff from the old account to the new account

    There are instructions on this page for creating a new account : Set up an Apple ID in iTunes
    Or if you don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    But you won't be able to transfer purchases from your old account to it, all content that you download from the store will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

  • How do I create a new account and delete old one.

    I want to stop current account and start a new one.

    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.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, your can photo stream photos directly to your computer.  If not, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap the share arrow button, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once in the camera roll you can import them to your computer.

  • How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another? I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

    ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
    now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
    the start of that tree is /
    so, if you were to do:
    cd /
    (cd means change directory)
    it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
    cd /Users
    will bring you to where all the users are.
    to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
    ls means list files/directories
    so:
    cd /Users
    ls -la
    (the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose))  this flag is very optional.
    you will see
    fred
    user2
    for example.
    if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
    for example:
    cd /Users/user2/Desktop
    Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
    ls -la
    you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
    you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
    cd /
    cd Users
    cd user2
    cd Desktop
    this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
    So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
    /Users/user2
    which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
    if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
    most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
    so in your case.
    sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
    should work
    Remember that if you start a path with the character /  it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
    so
    cd /Users/fred
    is not the same as
    cd Users/fred
    unless you were in / already
    i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
    to simplify, think of it that / means C:\  on windows
    you can't go any higher than C:\  (in a way)
    if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
    pwd
    it will tell you where you are.
    for example:
    cd /
    pwd
    this shows  /
    cd Users
    pwd
    this now shows /Users
    cd /System/Library
    pwd will show /System/Library
    cd /
    cd /Users
    cd fred
    cd Library
    pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
    unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
    so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
    ls -la  (this shows all the files where you are)
    if you see myfile in the list
    do a pwd
    whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
    whatever pwd returned / myfile
    I hope that makes sense.

  • How to create a new account and copy all settings?

    I think my main user account is corrupted. So I want to create a new account and copy all of my settings, files etc..and more than likely piecemeal just incase my settings are what is corrupted. That way I can isolate the problem.
    I don't plan to delete the main account until satisfied and I also have my Time Machine backup plus my SuperDuper backup.
    I can/should be able to figure out how to create the new account, but I am very unclear on the best/easiest approach to copy in my iTunes files and settings, applications(is this even an issue), address book, email, etc? I should be able to find most everything underneath my home account folders but what else am I missing here? I don't want to find out the hard way.
    Please share some advice or perhaps a link/FAQ on how to approach.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

    I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
    ^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
    I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
    Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • Can I create a new account and keep all of my purchases and downloads?

    Can I create a new account and keep all of my old content? Recently got divorced and share the itunes account with my ex. I want a new account but do not want to lose all of my old content. Is this possible?

    Kmiller, 
    Get a copy of the entire iTunes library and copy it to the computer that you will be using from now on.
    iTunes Plus songs will still be playable, as will any "normal" MP3s that were purchased from Amazon or ripped from CD. 
    Any "protected" content from the iTunes Store, such as movies, shows, or pre-2009 songs, will not be playable.  If you need to replace any such items with playable copies, a cost will be incurred.  Make sure to account for this in the property settlement.

    If you are in South Africa then you can only use the South African store - to use the US store you will need to be in the US with a US billing address on your account.
    If you are not getting the email then check your spam folder and/or request that it be resent.

  • I have an iPad and and iPhone. They share an iCloud and I want separate iCloud accounts. How do I create a new account without losing any information? I want to keep the original account on one device.

    I have an iPad and an iPhone that share an iCloud account. I didn't realize when I got my iPad last year that when I signed up the iCloud on the device that it would share and use 5g of iCloud between the both of them. How do I unsync them and have two separate iCloud accounts? I don't care about sharing between them. When my kids put games on my iPad, I don't want them going on my phone. How do I create a new iCloud without losing any info on the other device?

  • How do I create a new account for an iPod that is on an existing account?  My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased.

    My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own separate account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased over five years. 

    In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so.  You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
    That's all you should need to.  Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.
