How do you make a new icloud without losing data?

Hello,
My little brother had gotten an ipad for his birthday one year. Since I was the only at the time who had an icloud account, I thought I'd make it easier for him (as he was 8 at the time) and connect my icloud account, to his ipad. However, over time, obviously apps and pictures have accumulated and my icloud account is extremely full, especially as it is linked to my iphone as well. Now, I was wondering whether there is any way of me being able to create him his own icloud, and transfer his photo stream and apps to it. I know I can go to delete account, but would that delete everything on his ipad?
Please help me!!

Migrating to a new account will only delete photo stream photos, not camera roll photos. To avoid this, save them to the camera roll 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, before deleting the existing account from your phone. 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 iDevice 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 a separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete the other person's data from your account.
Getting each other's text messages is caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this, the person with the new iCloud account should go to Settings>Messages<Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with their new iCloud ID. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How can I make a drive bootable without losing data on it?

Is there a way to make a second internal drive bootable without losing the data that is already on it?
The second drive was created under Panther 10.3.9. My main internal drive has had a clean install of Tiger 10.4.3. The second drive used to appear in the start up disk list when I was running 10.3.9 on the main drive. That is, it used to be bootable under 10.3.9. No kidding. After the main drive was given a clean install of Tiger, the second drive disappeared from the start up disk list. Please note: the second drive remains completely accessible when I am running off the main drive in 10.4.3. I can even use the few applications I had placed on the drive. It appears as separate drive under disk utility.
I assume the second drive was installed as slave. (Both it and the main drive were independently bootable under 10.3.9.) It is not locked. "Ignore ownership" is not checked. The system has read-write privileges. Admin has read-write all others are read only. I am the only person who has access to this machine. It is not networked.
I tried to ask this question a few days ago, but I think the way I phrased it confused the issue. My real question is NOT how did this get like this? It is can I make a drive bootable when it already has data on it?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
You replied:
the drive that you cannot
boot from is a separate physical hard drive from the
internal drive with 10.4.3. Is that correct?
Yes.
Have you used System Preferences > Startup Disk and
looked to see if the 10.3.9 system shows up there?
Yes, I have looked and it's not there.
I got the impression that you have backed up the 10.3.9
disk and that you do not really need the data there.
Yes, I backed up a drive that was bootable, but then it lost its "bootabilty" and what I got was two non-bootable drives--the original second internal drive that I'm asking about and the back-up of it. I want the data on the drive and I wan the drive to be bootable.
One thing that you might try when you are booted off
your 10.4.3 system is to use Disk Utility, select the
other disk and do a Repair Disk.
Done that and it says there is no problem. Nada. Zero. It just won't boot, no more, no how, no way. BUT it remains fully accessible--I can access all my info. It's just become a storage drive that cannot be booted. Go figure.
reformatting means
destroying the data on the disk.
Yup, which is why I asked my original question. Does anyone know if there is any way to make a drive bootable without destroying the data on it?
I suspect the answer is no (given these particulars), but I thought some wise super-techie out there might have a trick up their sleeve.

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?

Supuid Question: How do you make a new Photo Album on iPhone 3g?

How do you make a new Photo Album on iPhone 3g?
When I press photos, it just goes to a screen with Camera Roll and no other buttons to press.
I have read one article that states to click the "Add" button, but I don't see an Add button or a + button.
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the response.
So, is there no quick way to put the Camera Roll pictures into an album?
It seems I have to click on those, send to Mobile Me, then download to my computer and put in the folders I am syncing.
Not every intuitive at all.
Thanks again.

HT1918 If you are locked out of your account and you dont use that email address anymore, can you create a new account without losing your music library

If you are locked out of your Itunes account and you no longer use the same email address, can you create a new account without losing your music library

Just to let you know that I DIDNT swear in the last post. It was bleeped for using non offensive language. Just letting you know. (And @moderator this subnote isnt "off topic", its just letting colleagues know I'm not in the habit of swearing - something that the search and replace word-bot actaully makes it look worse than it is!!)
Many thanks - please dont delet this footnote (again)

How to sync music on my Itouch without losing data/songs?

I have read plenty of answers saying to allow a transfer or move all the music from old computer to new one. I don't have that option. My old computer is dead, I tried to get this new one before it died but I wasn't able to. Now I'm afraid that by syncing my ipod with my new computer I'll lose everything... which I'd rather not.
Please help, thanks.

How to I make a new icloud email on an existing apple id?

I want to stop having my gmail be the account's main email for the Apple ID but I can't seem to find a way to neither make a new icloud email nor make my old MobileMe email be the new replacement. Is there any possibility of making an iCloud email that can replace my gmail so I can't stop being notified about anything Apple related on a gmail account?

How do I sync iPhone to new Macbook without losing data?

Been searching the internet for several weeks now, and haven't managed to find anything that helps, so here's the deal: I've had an iPhone 4 for a bout a year or so now, and I just got a new Macbook Pro a few weeks ago. I had previously been syncing my iPhone to a shared computer, so obviously I couldn't just set up my new computer using the data of the old one. I wasn't too concerned about this, until I discovered that I couldn't sync my iPhone to the new computer without losing all of the data on it! So I'm trying to figure out how I can save my iPhone's data in such a way that I can restore it upon syncing to the new computer. To clarify, I don't need to save all of the data—I've already gotten my purchases and music transferred over, and I'm in the process of transferring my contacts and notes over, but I have no way of saving the other data. Most of it is superfluous, such as call records or web history—but I do care about game data and iMessage data. So it comes down to this: I need a way to be able to store save files for all my games AND all of the text messages in my iMessage app. I've seen lots of people recommend various file transfer programs, which I assume work for game data, but as far as I've been able to tell from the demos versions, all they'll do for iMessage is export conversations as pdf or text files. I'm not looking to save a hard copy of my text messages, I want to be able to upload them to my iPhone again as text messages (both sent and received). In other words, I'd like my phone to be pretty much exactly the same after syncing it as it is now. At least, as far as the iMessage/game apps are concerned. Maybe I didn't know how to use the file transfer programs, maybe I didn't download the right one, maybe there's another way to do it, I don't know. If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
BTW, My iPhone is running iOS 7.1.2, my Macbook is running OSX 10.9.4. Also, I do still have access to the computer my iPhone is currently synced to, as well as an iPod Touch 4 that's also got most of the data I want on it, if that will help at all.

So, just in case anyone with the same problem happens to run into this post, I managed to find a solution to this problem. There's a $35 program called iBackupbot, which works for both Windows and Macintosh. It's basically an iTunes backup service, except that it functions independently. You can also do partial restores with the program. Anyway, it's a very useful program, and it can sync data from one device synced to one computer to another device synced to another computer (or to a restored device synced to a new computer). If you're willing to shell out $35 for the program, here are the steps to restore your iPhone's data:
Transfer all of your purchases from your old computer to your new computer, including music and videos. This program is good, but it only syncs data files, so music and apps cannot be synced over (that I can tell).
Download and register iBackupbot on your NEW computer (http://www.icopybot.com/buy.htm)
Plug in your iPhone
When you iPhone appears in iBackupbot, click on its name and then click 'backup now' on the information screen. It will take at least five minutes.Once the backup is complete, you might want to test it out. I'd recommend deleting a few pictures or messages, and then restoring from a backup, to ensure that the backup worked properly.
Quit iBackupbot. (It's a good program, but I've noticed that it's kind of glitchy, and it works best on the first action of each session)
Wipe your iPhone and set it up as a new one. Make sure you link it to the same Apple ID that your new computer is associated with.
Once your iPhone has been set up, sync it to your new computer and re-download all of your music, apps, and other purchases.
Change your iPhone's name (this is to check and make sure that iBackupbot recognizes your iPhone)
Reopen iBackupbot, and click on your iPhone's name when it appears.
Right-click the name and select 'restore from backup.'
Leave the settings alone, and check 'full restore'
This will take quite a while, and your iPhone will probably be glitchy when the restore is finished. Quit iBackupbot again, and then power your iPhone off and then back on.
Check all of your apps (including the system apps) to make sure that all of your desired data has been put back on your iPhone.For me, out of about 70 downloaded apps, 4 did not have any data when I had finished the restore. If this is the case, you can can try another full restore or do a partial restore this time, selecting only the apps that did not have data.
Once you're satisfied that your iPhone has all of the data you want, sync it to you computer to make sure that it will still sync to your new computer (you never know)
Change your iPhone's name to what you want it to be, then reopen iBackupbot.
Do a final backup of your iPhone in iBackupbot.
Sync your iPhone with your new computer one last time, and do a backup of it using iTunes.
You're done!
I hope this helps. Good luck to anyone who decides to try this method!

How to switch apple id on ipad without losing data and info

i gave my dad a ipad for christmas, i set it up under my account( the mistake) so how do i switch everything to his apple id without losing everything ie songs, movies, game stats?

You can sign out and then into his Apple ID without losing data, but the iTunes Store content will remain associated with yours. Changing that requires deleting and redownloading it, which will erase application data when done on an iOS device.

Syncing to new computer without losing data - Issue.

Hi all. I have previously made a thread on this issue but things have changed since and so has the original problem, so I thought it needed a new discussion.
I'm currently moving my iPhone from my old Vista PC to my newer Macbook Pro (OS X Lion), without losing data.
As advised, I followed this tutorial: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
However, after the restore had finished, only my apps were syncing with the new computer. If I want to sync my music or tones etc, it still wants me to erase my iPhone.
Is there another way to get around this? I've reached the stage where it's syncing apps, so I'm almost there... I'd just like to sync the rest too.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Firstly, my response was directed to the message with the picture. I don't have the same music as I had before, and unlike the OP who resolved it that way, I lost some music because in order to sync to my new computer I needed to erase all my music on my iphone first! I mean how stupid is that. Leave my music alone and put new music on it!
Look I love my iphone and I'm not hear to promote Samsung (fyi, there are other android companies). What I tried to say was that apple should stop being stupid and change itunes so that I can drag and drop, use multiple computers (because some households have that!), and not have a hassle with simple tasks like that! The ultimatium is change itunes or face costumers leaving your product behind! In the end I wish to keep using the iphone but solely because of itunes I can't and won't!

HT1766 How can I make a NEW backup WITHOUT getting prompted for a (forgotten) password?

Hello! 1st post here,
How can I backup iPhone A to iTunes and then restore into iPhone B without getting prompted for a backup password that I do no know or remember ever setting?
To clarify, I am not trying to read an encrypted backup. I would like to make a NEW backup but I do not want it to be encrypted as I do not know nor remember how a password was set in the 1st place. If I unclick the encryption checkbox, I am prompted to enter the password. Defeats the purpose of clicking on the box, no?
Thanks,
Henry

Have you tried deleting the encrypted back up?

How do you delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having them deleted from devices?

I need to delete files from iCloud WITHOUT having those files deleted from all my devices. How do I do that?

Just got off the phone with Apple customer service. It seems there is no around this problem. Once you use iCloud, you're screwed. The day you decide you don't want to have certain files store in iCloud, but you still want the files accessible on your computer, you have to spend valuable time copying/hiding a set of files on each device, and then re-setting up those same files in each device they way they should be once you delete them out of iCloud. Same thing if you decide to cancel your lCloud account.
No software should have the ability to hijack your data this way.
