HT204053 2 devices - 1 icloud account issues; importing data to Iphone 6

I have an Iphone 4G and ipad which was sharing 1 icloud account . Big mistake! Because, the storage space was insufficient for both devices' data, I stopped backing up any more data into the icloud. Now I bought a new Iphone 6 and am wondering how I am to sync all my data ( including all the photos and contacts and apps) across from the Iphone 4G to the Iphone 6 .
Also, since I originally have 2 devices, can I create another icloud account separate for 4G now and then use that to sync my data across to the new  Iphone 6?
Otherwise I find it impossible to start using my iphone 6 at all!
Thank you for any advice.

Thank you for your reply.
My concern is that I do not want the data ( except for emails) which is in Ipad to be synced over to the new iphone which  I made the mistake of doing before with Iphone 4. The 2 devices are used for very different purposes so I would like to have 2 separate accounts for each device. My problem is trying to import only data from the iphone 4G to the new Iphone ,whereas since previously I only set up 1 icloud account for both devices, the data  ( eg photos, songs , books and apps ) appeared on both devices. I am trying to deviate from this. so in essence., I am hoping to set up a totally new account for the new iphone but to copy data from iphone 4 across.
Or should I  buy extra storage for a month  just for the purpose of backing up all data from both ipad and iphone 4 into that particular icloud account, then set up a new icloud account for iphone 6 and copy everything across and then delete data that came from the ipad one by one in the iphone 6 . After all, the new iphone 6 has 64 gb. In that way, I can still maintain the icloud account for ipad ( and then delete all the unnecessary data from iphone 4 in that particular icloud account) and have a separate icloud account for the new Iphone 6 as well. 
Would really appreciate some feedback . TQ.

    The IOS device is not with me. By removing device from icloud account will enable new IOS device user to retrieve my data?

    If you remove it from your account all of the data that is in the account will be removed from the iPad.

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.

    I had the same issue on my iPod touch 4th Gen, I noticed the issue after updating the device to 6.1.5. I dont know what device or IOS your running but if it is similar then I think this ma be the cause. My solution to you is to create a free apple ID on their website, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId. Hope this helped and good luck!

    As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Simply turn off "find my phone" and delete the iCloud account from your device.

    Change your icloud password. He will delete it himself, once kicked out.

  • I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32bit

    I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32 bit. Just looking for a workaround as this is not a primary device.

    You should update to the latest version of Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 - you can download it here; however it's still not compatible with iCloud and though you can connect to access your email you cannot access any other of iCloud's facilities.
    However some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. I've not tried it: use at your own discretion.
    To access the email:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Are you sure you can't upgrade to Lion? It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which you may well have, though it also needs 2GB RAM so you might need to add additional RAM (might not be worth it for what you want). The published specs don't mention 32 or 64 bit. You can buy Lion by ringing the Apple Store at the number at bottom left of this page.

    I used my apple Id and my iCloud account on my mom's iPhone and all my contacts and stuff went to her phone and hers on mine. I tried to delete my apple id off of her phone now how do I delete the iCloud? And will the data from my phone be deleted too if I delete my iCloud off of her phone?

    thank you so much!!!!
    Well, yeah.  You want to create separate accounts for each of you, using individual Apple IDs.  I know mothers and daughters like to share clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. but don't share Apple IDs. 

  • Can i use multiple icloud accounts in my find my iphone app?

    Can i use multiple icloud accounts in my find my iphone app? I have multiple accounts that i want to tie to that app.

    You can't buy another one.  You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

  • MobileMe and iCloud accounts in Mail on my iPhone

    In Oct 2011 a user wrote:
    "I updated to iCloud and now I have both MobileMe and iCloud accounts in Mail on my iPhone 4s. I don't have the option to delete the MobileMe account so now I have two of the same account under different names. How do I delete the MobileMe and keep the iCloud?"
    The following response solved that users issue:
    "Open the MobileMe preferences in System Preferences, sign out. Open the Mail, Contacts, Calendars preferences and either turn off the MM account or delete it. The MM account will disappear at the end of June 2012.  You can delete any MM account you have currently turned on in your iPhone's settings."
    I have the same issue, and that helpful response does not apply in my situation.  On my Mac, I am signed out of my MobileMe account; the Mail, Contacts, Calendars preference does not show a MobileMe account, just iCloud. 
    On my iPhone, Mailboxes in Mail shows my MobileMe address and iCloud entries - both mailboxes/accounts show the same folders and messages. Also, in Settings' Mail, Contacts, Calendars the Accounts does not have a MobileMe entry, just iCloud.
    Mailboxes in Mail on my iPad 2, on the other hand, does not show the MobileMe address; it only shows the iCloud entry.
    Any recommendations on how to remove the MobileMe entry on my iPhone?

    Don't count on it!  Both my iPad and iPhone4S are on 5.1 and both are having problems right now!

  • HT4910 I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I'm not familiar with the PC end of things, but in a recent post I read about someone using notes.exe to access notes (I'm assuming they knew what they were talking about) - would your installation of icloud app(s) include a notes program?  At least do this, log into icloud.com with a computer browser and look in mail.  There should be a notes "folder" listed along with the others you may have defined.  Are you notes there?  If not, that's the problem.  Be sure notes is turned on in Settings>icloud on your device.  if they are there, then it looks like the PC end is the problem - but I can't provide help concerning that.

  • How do I edit the iCloud account information on my new iPhone 4?

    How do I edit the iCloud account information on my new iPhone 4? I changed in on the iCloud web site, but it still has the old email address on the phone. The address is not able to change...am I missing something?
    Also, the first time I started the phone, I put my email address instead of my son's address, now when I try to set up iMessage, it asks for my password associated with my address and not my son's address.

    Yes...I tried that and It did work...Thank you.
    Now the other item...iMessage still have my email address and I want my son's address. I have the iCloud registered with his address, I have not found where I can edit that.
