How do I separate my spouse's phone from my account but still share over iCloud?

I know there is large amounts of talk for this topic but I am not understanding what has been said.
If you are not willing to explain and post other links as your answer then do not reply.
My spouse and I have iPhone 5s and currently share the same Apple ID. We have an iMac, iPad, and the two iPhones and I am wanting to get the iPhones separated so that our messaging isn't double tapping texts but keep the access to iCloud so that we can still share notes.
I know that you have to set up a "parent account" but I need a walk through on exactly what to do one either my phone, her phone, or the iMac to help separate the account but not loose information. I am hesitant to just delete an account and then make a new one when the second step to link the accounts is a step of blind faith.

You want her to be connected to the same account as you are but yet not see her stuff in it, what use would that be.
You each need an account, to that account you can connect your own devices (iPads/Phones etc) that way you will have some privacy from each others stuff.
If you want to share stuff between the 2 accounts the answer depends on whether you are referring to iTunes stuff (music, movies etc) or iCloud stuff (contacts, calendars etc)
You will also need to create 2 user accounts on the iMac, one for her, and one for you.
So what do you want to do (within the framework I have explained)
FYI: Texts are not in iCloud, let's stop thinking that please.

How can I remove my traded-in phone from my iCloud account?

I sent my old iPhone back to Verizon as part of a trade-in agreement for a new phone. I followed their instructions for removing "Find my phone" from my old phone before trading it in.
Now, when I log into iCloud I still see my old traded-in phone in addition to my current phone. How can I remove my old phone from my account? Why didn't that happen when I set my old phone to wipe all content before I traded it in?
Thanks,
Will

You would think that erasing the old phone and removing it from your iCloud account would have removed it from your account settings on icloud.com but apparently that's not the case. The only way to have done that would have been to sign out of your iCloud account first, which you obviously can't do at this point.
Although I can't confirm this, one user said that they were told by Apple support that the old phone will automatically be removed when the old phone is signed into another iCloud account. There's nothing else you can do at this point.

Have two i phones owned by one person. Gave older I phone 4 to spouse. All synced items going to both phones. Created two different Apple ID Accounts but still having problems. Bought more icloud for one device but it went to the other one didnt need

How can i seperate to i phones that have been synced together. I created two different Apple Id accounts but for instance my icloud purchase didnt go to the phone i needed it to go to

If you look at Settings > iCloud on each phone, is the Account different? The Apple ID listed there should control iCloud storage allocation. [I assume your "icloud purchase" was more storage capacity.]
The Apple ID is separately specified to control iMessage, iTunes and App Store purchases, etc.

Somebody uses my apple id for facetime on his iphone how can i remove his phone from my account?

somebody uses my apple id for facetime on his iphone how can i remove his phone from my account?

Last Spring I received a couple of emails to an alias I set up a long time ago under mac mail with mac.com - not my main ID - at mac.com. The mail had the Icloud extension. I just deleted it.
I then received a couple of e-mails forwarded to the same alias that came from a non-apple account that led me to search to see if the company was legit - it was. Using a non-apple hidden account I sent that non-apple account an email informing them apparently when they registered the ID or alias as an ICLOUD extension - apple did not check for duplication in accounts or aliases that were not in the Icloud.
I also sent feedback to Apple telling them to fix it and apparently they did - along with the person who replicated my alias.
On this site there were a number of postings from people who also had problems with mac mail and Icloud who resolved it by contacting Apple and getting the accounts cleared up.

How to upgrade firmware on 7921g wireless phone from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 via USB

how to upgrade firmware on 7921g wireless phone from 1.0.2 to 1.0.4 via USB?
The 7921g is connected via USB to a PC. I am using a browser to access the phone. Documentation says "Click the Phone Upgrade hyperlink under SYSTEM options. " but that option is not present or not visible.

You can use the Phone Upgrade area on the web page to upgrade firmware files on the phones by using the USB connection or by using the WLAN. To upgrade the phone software, enter the phone software TAR (firmware file name) or use the Browse button to locate the firmware file on the network.
To display the Phone Upgrade area, access the web page for the phone as described in the Accessing the Configuration Web Page for a Phone section available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/7921g/5_0_1/english/administration/guide/21adm50.pdf

Open iTunes on the computer. Without any iPhone plugged in, go to iTunes' menu and do Store > Sign Out.
The click the iTunes Store row on the left of the iTunes display. You can then sign on from the signon row on the right side of the display using the correct Apple ID and password. Then you'll be all set!

How do i get ringtone to my phone from email

how do i get ringtone to my phone from email

That would be very difficult, but possible ... you would have to use iTunes on your computer.
You would have to make sure that:
* The ringtone is really a ringtone (correctly formatted)
* You own the ringtone (if purchased, it was not purchased by someone else).
You would email the ringtone to your computer, remove the attachment, and add it in iTunes' "Tones" section on your computer. Then you would sync it to your iPhone.

If you had Find My Phone turned on the only way a thief can deactivate or remove the phone from your account would be to know your Apple ID and password.

HT4436 we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account. So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs. Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores. You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.

Remove one phone from one account

My husband has synchronized his phone on my icloud accouny. all his contacts have merged with mine. How can I remove his phone from my account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Get him to turn off each syncing service one by one (settings > iCloud), by doing this he should be given the opportunity to save his data to his phone. Once all the services are turned off, he can scroll to the bottom of the iCloud settings and delete the account.
He should then create his own iCloud account and merge the data on his phone with it.
Once that is done you can both set about deleting the data on your phones that you don't want.

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.
