How do you setup a new iCloud account?

Hi
I am trying to help my dad update his iPhone 3GS. I got it all update but I am trying to setup his new Apple ID as his phones primary account so anything would be saved to one account. I keep getting an error message saying that it has log on to the maxium number of accounts. Is there any way to fix this problem?

How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

Go to Settings>iCloud and sign out. Any synced data, such as calendars and contacts, will be removed.
To get a new ID: go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address from any ID you already have.
Then go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in there, enabling any data types you want to sync in the list there. You will be asked to create a new @icloud.com address when enabling Mail.

How do I create a new iCloud account?

You can change the non-Apple emailing address which forms the ID for your iCloud login to another functioning non-Apple address at http://appleid.apple.com so there may be no need to create a new ID.
If you really want to create a new iCloud account you will need to create a new Apple ID at the same address, using as the ID an address which has not been previously associated with an Apple ID. Then you can create a new iCloud account by signing in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud on a Mac or an iOS device.

How do you join together two iCloud accounts?

How do you join together two iCloud accounts of mine?

You would need to export the data from one account, using the respective apps, sign out of it, sign into the other, and import the data.
Alternately, you can setup the other account as a secondary icloud account in sys prefs >> internet accounts. A secondary account is limited compared to the main one, though.
Actual merging the Apple ID/icloud accounts, as stated, is not possible.

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

HoW DO YOU SETUP A NEW wINDOW 7 64 BIT PC FOR ITUNES AND MOVE EVERYTHING OVER FROM AN OLD PC

How do you setup a new windox 7 64 bit pc for itunes (which documetns folder does the file need placed in and then move everything over from your old pc (which is windows xp)?

I am pretty disappointed in the lack of documentation.
This is the Apple Support page for Boot Camp:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
No mention anywhere of Lion, of 4.0/4.01
In the past, 10.6.6+ was suppose to - and sometimes did - provide for a download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant program, in order to save them to flash or such (that should be about 1GB, too large for CD). Some macs req'd a USB-DVD or other driver that was needed pre-install of Winidows
You don't install Apple drivers until after Windows is installed otherwise,
It is possible for me, with a tower, to run w/o needing any drivers from Apple. But with laptops, mini, you do need some drivers from Apple for graphics, internet, wireless, SMC support.
And right now, loading any Apple support Tech Note articles is very very slow.
People keep asking why Apple can't post 3.0 or 4.0 like they do the updates. Only logic is to force t he download from inside OS X or from an OS X DVD. Otherwise would be here, and avoid all the trouble. they aren't of use on a PC, and any PC motherboard vendor does post their support software for download.

How to transfer content to new iCloud account?

I have a friend who had her iPhone with the iCloud account setup with her son's Apple ID/account.
The son has been kicked out.
The iPhone/Apple ID associated with the iCloud account as well as all the things that go with the Apple setup are all associated with the son's iTunes/Apple, iCloud account, but she has the phone under her name, etc.
How does one transfer all of the music, pictures, e-mail configurations, settings, apps, etc. EVERYTHING that was purchased and part of the iPhone content, even though it is associated with the son's account?
Step by step would be appreciated.
THe biggest issue as experienced in the past performing similiar tasks is when you plug the phone into a computer, it syncs with iTunes, and need to know how to associat that as an additional proble (for the new account).
Appreciate any help.

There are two issues you are discussing : itunes store account and icloud accounts - they are different. As for itunes store purchases, they are forever associated with the ID used to buy them. You cannot transfer those purchases to any other account.
As for icloud, to get the Apple data (contacts, reminders, etc.) to another account do the following. Note that for emails, its easiest to use a computer, go to the icloud account in the Apple Mail client and drag all emails to another account or location on the Mac.
Moving Apple data from one icloud account to another...
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, 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.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

HT204053 how do i create a new icloud account

hi i have had problems with my icloud since i started as i couldnt get my email address and my apple id just to be the same from get go i started off with a mobile me account and now it has changed over to icloud completly i dont no how to change any of my details i am getting married soon so want to change my email address and it would be so much better if i could have the same email for my itunes and everything else any one no how to resolve this

Your ex-MobileMe address is (in both @me.com and @icloud.com versions) your Apple ID and your login. You cannot change this. However you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
The only alternative is to create a completely new Apple ID (for which you will need a non-Apple email address to become the ID) and open a new iCloud account with that by signing in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and choosing a new @icloud.com address.
If you do this you can continue to use the old login for iTunes. Or you could change the login to the new ID but you can't transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another.

How can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my apps?

I'm sharing an iCloud and iTunes account and want to have my own. Can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my contact list? If I keep the existing iTunes account with the new iCloud acct, can I reload my apps without purchasing them again? I understand I can create a new iTunes acct afterwards.

OK, so you can create a separate Apple ID for yourself that you use for your Messages, iCloud, Mail, FaceTime, etc. and keep the one that you have your Apps on as your iTunes "Family" Account.
Before you set up your new Apple ID, be sure to delete your iCloud account from your device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the account. Save your Contacts on your phone so you can merge them with your new iCloud account. Your notes, and Photos will still be on your old iCloud account, but if you want to keep any of your photos on your new iCloud account, it would be a good idea to import all of your photos to your computer first, so you can selectively download them to your device. (Note: only your Photo Stream will go away when you delete your iCloud account. Your Camera Roll will stay in place. It's just a good idea to back up that Camera Roll to a computer or to your new iCloud account immediately once you have set it up.
You then would set up a brand new Apple ID for you under Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
Once you get it set up, go into your devices and sign off the following:
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your "Family" Apple ID and Sign Out
Settings>Facetime, click on your Apple ID and sign out
You will leave your "Familiy" Apple/iTunes ID signed on on the iTunes & App Store, becasuse you willl continue to share your iTunes account with the family. Here is a little more info about using two Apple IDs:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Once you have your new ID set up, go back into Messages and FaceTime and sign back in with your new ID
Also, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID, and be sure to "Merge" your contacts into your new iCloud account.
Post back with any questions!

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 do I add a new iCloud account to the same computer?

My wife has a new iPad. We use the same computer so I want her to have her new iCloud account on our computer. I have a iCloud account already.

This solved my problem. However, she has to log in to use her account which means I have to log out. It would be nice to be able to log in and log out with a few clicks of the mouse but that is probably asking too much.
Thanks for your help!
