HT4436 I wish to transfer my Apple ID to a new iCloud account

I wish to transfer my Apple ID to a new iCloud account.
If I create an iCloud account how do I transfer all my details from the current Apple ID in to this iCloud account?
Thanks

First select create an apple id:
Input this info...
Choose get a free icloud email address...
And that's all there is to it now. I know you of course did use to need an outside email address, and still can actually do that if you chose, but no longer have to. You would use that new icloud email address to sign in with.

HT4436 How do I change the apple I'd on the iCloud account?

I would like to change the apple ID that I put in when I set up the I cloud. How do I do that?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account

Need help linking old Apple ID to new iCloud account.

I recently closed my iCloud account, which was the same email address for my Apple ID for personal reasons. I was forced to use a new email to open a new iCloud account. Now I cannot link the two because when I try to add my original Apple ID email address to my new iCloud account, it says my old email is already linked to another account.
How can I back things up to iCloud when the system will not let me link my original Apple ID with a new iCloud account?

When you sign in with a new Apple ID you create a new iCloud account, so if you are signed into a new account, your backups and other synced data will be in the new account, not the old one. Also, iCloud email accounts cannot be moved to another account. You can either start using your new iCloud email account, give your contacts your new address and forward email sent to the old address to the new one, or you can add back your old iCloud account as a secondary account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with your old ID. You can then turn on Mail in the secondary account and access your old email account on your device again. The only limitation of this is that email in secondary accounts is fetch, not push email. Push email is only supported in your primary iCloud account.

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!
Cheers,

How do i transfer to a new icloud account

I am having to create a new iCloud account, how do i do this and not lose all of my information. When i try deleting existing account it tells me all information will be lost. Thanks for the help.

You will get an option to save a copy of the iCloud data on your phone when you delete the account.
To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) 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. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, 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, choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

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.

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Thank you for taking the time to try to answer my question. Let me phrase it slightly differently...
I have a very old appleid that I've used for store purchases. I had a MobileMe account that was upgraded to iCloud. I'd like to merge the account data. I've been hoping Apple would come up with a solution to this, but they haven't yet.
So, I'm wondering if I should make a new account of some sort and try to transfer data to it from both of the old accounts. It sounds like that can't work.
I suppose then that the only thing to do is manually transfer all the information from the old MobileMe account to the primary appleid (which is some sort of iCloud + Store combination, no?). That might not be that hard to do, but it is somewhat high risk.

How can I transfer all my data from my current iCloud account to a new one?

Hello,
Please allow me to explain my situation:
I currently use an iCloud account named, for example, [email protected]
I have recently rebranded my business from www.current.com to www.new.com.
Because of this, I would like to create a new iCloud account with an email account name of [email protected]
I realize that I can achieve a similar result by adding an alias of [email protected] from my [email protected] email, but I would like to change my account name for the iCloud service itself as well, not just email. This is for aesthetic reasons because I would like to have the same login for everything I use.
How I can transfer all my iCloud data from [email protected] to [email protected]? I would like to transfer all data completely, as I use every feature of iCloud extensively, including email folders, notes, Safari bookmarks, etc.
Thank you very much, I look forward to your response.
Edward

HT204053 how do I associate two Apple id's to one iCloud account?

How do I associate two Apple id's to one iCloud account?

Ah, now you're talking about itunes store and itunes match. The itunes store account is not the same as the icloud account (the two may use the same Apple ID, buy they can be different).
As for itunes match - you cannot merge purchased music from two itunes accounts. Using one of the itunes accounts (call it A) and icloud account, use itunes match to sync the music to the cloud. Then purchase other missing songs that are not part of A (but were in the other account) and that will add them to icloud match.

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

If my husband add a new iCloud account to his iPhone 5, will he be "locked out" because he's using a new Apple ID to do it? Does he have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? He set up his phone using my Apple ID because we didn't know any better. Now we want to separate calendars/contacts, but are afraid of the 90-day lockout.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can change the Apple ID without any problem. On his device, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete account and login with his Apple ID so he'll get his information. iCloud needs an Apple ID, so if he hasn't got one, he must create an Apple ID > http://appleid.apple.com
When you delete the iCloud account, all the information will be deleted, so I recommend you to turn off each service before deleting iCloud

HT204053 how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

When you migrate a MobileMe account to iCloud your email is transferred to the iCloud server, including all folders on the server.
However your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (If not please amend it to prevent confusion.) Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email. Please see this page:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

New Apple ID with a new iCloud email address as the ID

Can you get an iCloud email address BEFORE you get an Apple ID? I'd really like to not use my existing Yahoo email as my Apple ID login.
Seems I have to use my old Yahoo email address to get an Apple ID because it's already existing.
If I have to use an existing email address, can I subsequently change my issued Apple ID login to the iCloud email address I would have created after I've got into my new account?
Thanks anyone.

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

HT204053 Was using same apple ID for two iPhones. Just got new Apple ID for second phone.. Now how do I get new iCloud account

How do I set up my iCloud account on this phone

You turn off data syncing with the current account, then delete it from you phone, then set up the new account and migrate your data to the new account. On the phone that will be getting the new acount, start by going 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. (This will only delete the account from his phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using your new 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.
