How do I transfer/save/keep data,documents,notes etc from icloud to my iphone?
Ok, so here's the deal. In my old iphone I was using an apple id (let's call this one X) for icloud, and my notes, "pages" documents etc were being stored there.
However, I recently bought a new iphone and had to stop using this icloud id (long story, no need to analyze) and create another one (let's call this one Y). So I'm still using apple id X for everything else (itunes, app store etc) but for icloud I use apple id Y.
The problem that occurs is that everything that was stored to icloud when I was using apple id X cannot be transferred neither to my device permanently and be kept there (I would be just fine with that) or transferred to my apple id Y (I actually have no idea how to do this. So I kinda bet my money on the first option).
This is what I tried:
I logged into icloud using my X id and the devide started downloading my notes and pages etc. Then I chose to delete the icloud account (in order to log back in afterwards using my Y id). First it warned me that if I deleted the account I would lose all the data from my phone that had been stored in icloud. But the next message was asking me If I wanted to keep the data. A little paradox here. Anyway, of course I chose to keep the data on the phone. However it didn't work. Being at the stage with "no icloud", all I was left with, were the data I had created and stored on my new iphone. Nothing was kept from icloud X. The next step was to log back into icloud using the Y id and the data that were stored there appeared as one would expect. But of course no sign of the data from the "X account".
So, is it possible for me to somehow transfer or save or keep in my iphone, all the data that is stored in icloud under id X, and then start using my apple id Y for icloud without losing nothing at all???
Is icloud a bit of a one-way path or is it just me?
P.S. I often log into both icloud accounts from my pc to check them and everything is still there and is intact, so fortunately I haven't managed to mess up anything (yet).
Thanks for your reply but maybe it would be helpful if you could elaborate a bit on that or maybe I was not clear enough in my question. What I need to do is NOT stop using icloud. But gather everything that is already stored in my old icloud account (X) and save it in my device (iphone, ipad etc) and then continue using icloud but with my new account (Y).
In a scheme:
"->" = "becomes"
Step 1) data from X -> independent device data, and then the X account is removed from the device while the data stays.
Step 2) account Y is added to the device.
Step 2 continued) now the device has a. "the independent device data" that was drawn from the account X and b. the litte piece of data from Y that I have already created.
Step 3) independent device data -> data in account Y (along with everything that is created from now on, and everything that has been stored there. The little piece mentioned above.) Everything should now be merged in Y. Merged in a "good" way. Not overwritten, not deleted etc. Nothing should be lost (old or new, from the device or from X or from Y).
The last step is kind of optional. If the best I can get is having data associated to Y (future and past) AND "independent device data" that is so independent to the point that it cannot be added to my Y account since icloud recognizes and stores only data that is created after the account's addition to the device, then I can deal with that.
I hope I cleared everything out.
I need my notes and pages documents from my old icloud account to become independent device data and just stick to the device. And then, if possible, be uploaded to my new icloud account.

I moved from DK to the US and now I have created a US-apple-ID. How do I transfer all my contacts, calendar items, notes etc. from my DK-apple-ID to my new US-apple-ID?
Hey kristina rivera!
You will first want to export your contacts from iCloud using the following article:
iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
You will then want to log in to her iCloud account, then import the vCard file that had been exported from your iCloud account:
iCloud: Import a vCard

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.
How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.
Before you do this, do you really need all of the old backups that go back many weeks and months? Most us only ever need to go back a week or two to pick up a file that was accidentally deleted, but that's about it.
Sure, It is tough to think about deleting all the old backups, so a suggestion would be to keep the old Time Capsule around for a month or two....just in case....but start new backups on the new Time Capsule. Once you have a month or two of backup history on the new Time Capsule, then you might decide to erase the old Time Capsule and sell it....or just keep it around as a spare hard drive.
I've tranferred backups a few times in the past, and used up a lot of space on the "new" Time Capsule to do it, and have found that it is far more trouble than it is worth.
But, you may disagree. -

How do I transfer all my data from my original iPad 1 to my new iPad Air?
How do I transfer all my data from my original iPad 1 to my new iPad Air?
Do a full sync and backup of your one. I use iTunes for all my backing up. Then unplug the one and plug in the Air. Go through the setup process and when you have the choice to 'set up as new or restore from backup' chooose the the restore and your air will be a near clone of your One. You will need to reset up wifi and website passwords, but the data should be there.
Once you are sure the Air has all you need on it, you can go into the settings and 'erase all content and settings' which puts your One back to the 'out of box' state to you can sell it if you want.
