How to setup a second icloud account

I would like to setup a second icloud account to use just for syncing and backup. Is there a way to do that on an existing iphone or does it have to be done when you initially setup a phone?

Let me re-phrase my question. I currently have my icloud setup on a .me email and others in my family are on the same icloud account. I will be upgrading to a 5S this Friday and am wondering if during setup I could create a different icloud.com account just for my use instead of using the shared .me account. My iTunes is on yet a different account and will stay the same.

HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id. I cannot verify the email sent. I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?
If problem contact iTunes by:

TS4020 How can I manage and view storage on a second iCloud account?

I have 2 iCloud accounts, my second iCloud account is just used for email, how can I see how much storage I have left on it please?
I have logged into iCloud.com and cannot see it there. I can only check the storage on my primary account on my mac's and iPhone.
Any help please.
Cheers, Loz

Unfortunately you would have to sign out of your primary used account and sign in with the other one, if you would like to check the storage of your second iCloud account. I know it is not very comfortable, but seems to be the only way.

HT5622 how do i add a second icloud account to all three of my devices without changing apple id

My husband and I have the same apple id so that we can share our bought items from itunes. However we just bought a desktop and at that time I was encouraged to set up my own icloud account for more storage. i can not figure out how to add a second icloud to any of my devices.
my iphone and ipad have his icloud and the computer has my icloud

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
On the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch: Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add Account > iCloud.
On the Mac: System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > + (at the bottom of the sidebar) > iCloud.
Note that a second iCloud account may not have the same features as the main iCloud account

HT4436 I need a second iCloud account within my Appleid. How do I set this up for my iPhone and iPad?

I would like to have 2 iCloud accounts on my Appleid account. While I would like to share apps and music with my husband, we need to maintain separate contacts and calendars. How do I set up the second iCloud account?

Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud. You will have to use a second ID to create a new account. There are some limitations on secondary accounts like this to be aware of. Only the primary account (in Settings>iCoud) can be used for Photo Stream, iCloud backups, Find My iPhone, and syncing Bookmarks (Safari) and Documents. Also, push email only works for the primary account; secondary account email is fetch.

To the best of my knowledge you have now unfortunately blocked yourself: you can't cancel an iCloud account and as you've got the address there you can't add it as an alias, and I don't know of any workaround for that.

How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
iCloud then three options
set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly. So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though . Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar. Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend. The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking). Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem. I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

How can i delete an icloud account from my iphone

How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone. I have two icloud accounts the old one just can not retrieve the pwd to access it

If the old ID is your ID, and if your second ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://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.

How do i access my icloud account?

how do i access my icloud account?

Either at icloud.com on a computer, or if you mean email, contacts, calendars etc - you use the Mail, Contacts and Calendar apps on your iPhone.
Presumably you have set it all up as per Apple's instructions?

If i know email ( but i dont have acces to it ) and i dont have secret questions how can i recover my icloud account ?
I'n my company ( pawn shop ) i hope i transleted fine , i bought an iphone wich it seems to be ok at the first time.
That was on 26.11.2013 ( as can be seen in my pawn contract and billing ) . after 2 weeks i found a client to buy my second hand iphone and the i saw my mistake it is icloud blocked i need that password so i can reset the iphone to sell it. how can i manage this problem ? i can provide all my billings, contracts, society data everything.

If you know the primary email linked to the account but do not have access to it or the answers to the security questions, then the next best thing to do is call Apple at 800-275-2273 and ask for Account Security. They will ask you for two pieces of information from the account in order to unlock it. The options are usually the security questions (each question counts as one piece), the credit card linked to the account, and either a device serial number or device verification code that they will send you.
After this verification is complete they can send the reset link for your password to any email you choose. Please be aware that if they verify you with something other than two security questions, there is a 24 hour wait before the email arrives.
Good luck!
