How to change iCloud accounts on an iPhone without erasing the data from the cloud?

Long story short I am using my sister's iPhone while mine is being repaired. My data from my iPhone is synced with my own iCloud account. My sister and my dad are on the same iCloud account, except I need to put my data on her phone, except it will not let me change the account on the iPhone without deleting my dad's iCloud account. How can I make this work?

Deleting the iCloud account on your phone only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  The account an it's data will not be touched, and your father's phone will not be effected by this.  Just go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in using your Account.

  • HT4436 how to change icloud account on my iphone

    I created an iCloud account using my husband's Apple ID on my iPhone b/c at the time, I didn't have my own Apple ID.
    Now I have my own account and want to change the iCloud on my iPhone to my own iCloud account.
    Is there a way to change it on my iPhone??

  • How do I upload a movie to Iphone without wiping all **** data from it including music and photos?

    I have this iPhone, I've been asked to upload 3 movies to it, since they failed to do that. I'm a heavy Android user and I'm so ****** off that I have to deal with all this We have 2.5 GB left, I want to delete a movie but there's no Delete option anywhere in right click menu or the window. I wanted to try and upload atleast one movie but you can't drag and drop into iTunes or something. I figured out in the very beginning that you've gotta sync the computer to it, but if I wanna do that it threatens me with total removal of data from my friend's iPhone. I authorized the computer, logged into iTunes, turned home sharing on. Pressed all buttons literally (except those which approve the phone wipe )
    HELP!"!?!?! END THIS PLEASE!!!!

    Worked it out from another thread. Nevmind.

  • How can I delete an iCloud account on my iPhone without the password?

    How can I delete an iCloud account on my phone without being able to enter the password?
    The account on my phone is linked to an old email adress that no longer exists and won't accept any of my passwords (although, this account did accept a pasword several days ago to restore my old phone to it's original settings but it won't accept that password anymore...)
    I can't change the password because the first security questions asks for my birthday which it won't accept.
    HELP!

    If your device is signed into your old iCloud ID and you are trying to change it to your current ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go tohttps://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Hi karen615,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.

  • How do i delete the icloud account on my iphone without login details

    How do i delete the icloud account on my iphone without login details or access to the email account which it was set up with?

    While you can delete the existing iCloud account by forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it, or logging into iCloud.com & erasing the phone, you won't be able to activate the phone unless you you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate the phone. The phone will be useless.
    This is called Activation Lock.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • We switch from an old email address to a new one. How can we move the data from the calendar?

    We move to a new email address. How can we move all the data from the calender (iCloud) to the new calender (because the iCloud is now based on a new email address)

    Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your current Apple ID
    Change the Apple ID to the old one and save changes.
    Sign in on the device with the same password for your account.
    After logging in and signing out of Facetime, Messages, iCloud and itunes and app store, go back to Apple ID.com and change it back to your normal Apple ID.
    Go to your email account and reverify your account by clicking on the Verify now link
    Now re-login to those services with your normal Apple ID and password.

  • HT4859 If I got a new iPhone and backed up the data from the old one, it should show up once the new one is set up right? Does an "incomplete" status mean it did not back up and can not be restored to the new iPhone?

    If I got a new iPhone and backed up the date from the old one, it should show up once the new one is set up right?
    And does an "incomplete" status on iCloud mean it can't be restored to the new iPhone?
    Help please

    What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.

  • Unfortunately, I lost by an update all the apps on my iPad 2. Now I can not pull the data from the cloud to my iPad. How is this possible?

    Unfortunately, I lost by an update all the apps on my iPad 2. Now I can not pull the data from the cloud to my iPad. How is this possible?

    If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad?  If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
    Refer to these articles for help.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software.
    If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
    You can also download the programs again.
    If you live in a country that supports re-downloading apps then you can re-download them.  You can refer to this article for more help.
