How to make a new icloud account without deleting the acount on other divices

I got an ipad4 and when I go into icloud to type in a new account email it is grey and you can't change it. I want to have my own account in my own ipad.

Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete account button. Any information on that account will be deleted from that device, but it will not be deleted from the cloud or any of the device logged into that account.

  • How do I disable an iCloud account without deleting the account?

    The iCloud is getting annoying, because all of my sibling's things are showing up on my ipod, and I don't want that. I don't want to delete the entire account, just disable it on my ipod 5. How do I do that?

    Deleting the account only deletes if from your iPod, not from iCloud.  Anyone else still using the account will not be effected by this.
    If you no longer wish to use iCloud, save any photos stream photos that you wish to keep on your phone to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tapping the photos, tapping Share, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iPod when prompted (in order to keep a copy of your iCloud data on your iPod.)

  • How can I reset my iCloud account without deleting all my contacts and photos on my iPhone.

    How can I reset my iCloud account without losing all my photos and contacts on my phone. I just want to clean up my iCloud.

    Not sure what you mean by "reset" your iCloud account, but if you want to clean up other data, just delete it from the apps on your phone that are syncing with iCloud, or from icloud.com.  They will be simultaneously deleted from iCloud and any devices syncing with iCloud.
    Similarly, if you delete photos from your my photo stream album, they will be deleted from your photo steam and any devices connected to your photo stream.  If you want to save them first, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos to select them, tap Edit, tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • How to make a new iCoud account and take the old one off my iPad with the information getting deleted from my iPhone?

    I have one iCloud account and that is on my iPhone. But when I got a iPad I ended up with the same iCloud account that was in my iPhone. I don't like that because if someone sends me a message it goes to my phone and the iPad. How do I make a new iCoud?

    Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete account button. Any information on that account will be deleted from that device, but it will not be deleted from the cloud or any of the device logged into that account.

  • HT5312 How do I make a new apple account and delete the one I have now? I don't know my password for the id they use and it won't let me use my current email address?

    How do I create a new Apple ID and delete my current one?

    You can't delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from in and stop using it - but anything that you downloaded from the stores with it will remain tied to that account.
    If you don't know the password for it then try this page to get it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you also don't know your security answers, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

  • I need to transfer content from my ipod touch to a NEW itunes account without deleting the content! help me please!!

    A friend and I shared an itunes account, as we both had ipod touches. I no longer have access to that account. I have created an account of my own but I need help tranferring the content that is on my ipod touch to my new itunes. I am scared to update my ipod or syncing it because it might delete my content. I have spent A LOT of money on apps and music from itunes, and i need help! PLEASE!!

    The photos are on the ipod.  Photo sync will erase them.  I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
    I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck.  They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

    The 4G/iOS 6 does not have an Activation Lock. That started with iOS 7.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • What happens if I make a new iCloud account? My brother and I share and neither of us have enough space to back up our phones, and need to.

    My brother and I share and iCloud account, and we have the basic 5.0GB of space. The backup space is full and neither of us can back up our phones but need to, so we can clear space on our phones. I want to make a new iCloud account for myself so that I have 5.0GB to myself, but will doing so mess up data on our phones? Such as contacts, apps, etc. Also, if it is safe to make a new account, how can I do so?

    Just so you know, doing an iCloud backup is not going to free up any space on your device. It is only going to back up what is on your device in case you need it to restore your device. If you need to free up space on your device, go to Settings>General>Usage, and under the first Storage section, see what is taking up so much room on your phone.
    Delete any unneeded apps, delete mail, text messages with videos and photos, remove photos from your Camera Roll if you have imported them to your computer, etc.
    If you set up a separate iCloud account, then everything associated with the other iCloud account will no longer be there. Contacts can be preserved by "Keeping them on your Phone" when you delete the original iCloud account (it will ask you if you want to do that). Then, when you add the new iCloud account, you can "Merge" them with that account so you still have them.
    Apps are associated with your iTunes account, and you can have a separate iCloud account from your iTunes account (see the section "Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases":
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    To create a new iCloud account, you are essentially setting up a new Apple ID. Here is another helpful support article about setting up a new iCloud account:

    How do I remove an iCloud account without using password?

    There is no way if Find my iPhone is turned on. You must know the Apple ID and password. This is Activation Lock, an antitheft feature of iOS 7. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

  • I want to make a new iCloud Account, but not a new Apple ID account.

    I share an Apple ID and iCloud Account with my Father, and I would like to make a new iCloud Account so we don't have the same contacts, email, etc. shared with each other. But I would not like to make an entirely seperate Apple ID account since I've made song purchases on this account that I can't get back.

    iCloud has a feature called "iCloud mail aliases" which allows users to create up to three so-called alias emails. Each of these is a completely separate email address which forwards email to you and lets you send email from it. Unfortunately, there's no way to have two separateaccounts in iCloud, but this may prove useful to you anyway.
    To set up a new alias, go to https://www.icloud.com/#mail and open Preferences, accessed via the gear icon in the top right. Under the Accounts tab, click "Add an alias…" and fill out the desired settings.

  • I have two apple accounts on one computer. How do i delete one account without deleting the other?

    I have two questions!!   
    I need to know how to delete one account without deleting the other account on the computer?
    I am deleting the account because i have a new laptop that now has the my account... will deleting the account on one computer affect the account on the other laptop?

    What do you mean by deleting the account? One can't delete an Apple ID/iTunes account. One just stops using it.
    Since yo can only have five computer authorized for one iTunes account you might want to deauthorize the computer for that account
