You don't need to worry about apps. You can continue to share the same ID for the iTunes and App stores but in order to create a new iCloud account you will need to use a different ID (it doesn't need to be the same as your iTunes ID).
To migrate your phone to your own account, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to save on your phone, open your my photo stream album and save them to the camera roll by tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. Your sister's phone will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up your new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once your phone is on its own account, you can go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your account and manually delete any of your sister's data from your account. She can also delete any of your data from her account.

I want to set up a separate cloud/itunes account for my husband. Right now we share and it is causing confusion.We both have the iPhone4
The way I set up my 3 iPhones is to create separate "iCloud" ID's for each user, but then use the SAME iTunes Apple ID for the iTunes store. You'll most likely lose your contacts, Calendars etc. unless you have them saved on a computer. You'll need to delete your current Account under iCloud, then create a new "iCloud" Apple ID ([email protected]) for at least one device if not both (one for yourself and one for your husband). Once you have those set up for your iCloud, then Goto Settings, Store, then change that ID to your old "iTunes" Apple ID, that way you can still both use your previously purchased Music/Apps etc.
You can then change your computers to use the new iCloud ID's and it should upload the data back to the cloud. Just be warned that it might wipe out any saved Contacts/Calendars etc. if you don't have them on a computer as well.
There is a Help article on how to do this as well, but i can't seem to find the link. -
Can I share my iCloud with my family in another state?
Can I share my ICloud with a family member in another state?
What do you want to share with the family member? If each of you have their own iCloud accounts you can create private Photos Streams that only they can view. If it's a calandar then you can create a shared calendar between the two of you.
However, as randers4 has warned, if you give them your iCloud ID and password they can get your email, contacts and everything else shareable with iCloud.

i have recently changed my Apple ID password, but i now cant access my icloud with the new password, i thought the 2 were linked?
Hi helenbeach,
If you've recently made changes to your Apple ID, you may need to update or log out/log back in to some of the related services for those changes to take effect. You may find the following article helpful:

I am using an older browser and OS because I cannot upgrade right now. I can access my email but cannot seem to put anything into the TRASH and if I do get some things to go in, I cannot empty. I would love to get compliant with my 5gb of free storage!
We are sorry to have lost you as a valued customer ndl9! I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you are having with trying to pay your final bill. Our best recommendation is the pay my bill link, which should allow you access based on your former phone number or account number. Did you try both? As an additional option, you can reach our automated system from an alternate line by dialing 800-922-0204 and then entering your former wireless number. http://vz.to/1fdEQVi

I share an itunes account with 3 users. How can I find out which person downloaded a certain app?
Agile,
Any of the above will work, depending how you would like to set it up.
Given that kids tend to eventually grow up and be independent, the best long term answer for most people is to let her have her own account and her own library as soon as she can handle it. Keep in mind that content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, so separating later is a challenge.
If you want to sync multiple devices to the same library, that will work. Or if you want separate libraries (as I would recommend), they can be either on separate computers or on separate Windows user accounts on the same PC.
For the name change: Connect the device. When the name appears in the left sidebar of iTunes, highlight it and change it. -
I created a new Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone, but I can't seem to find a way to "sign out" or "log out" of that Apple ID (for iCloud) to sign in with another Apple ID. The only account login I could change was the Store.
How do I "log out" or "sign out" of iCloud on my iPhone? There is an option to delete the account, but I just want to log off. I want to keep the account name for future use.@fernandamagalhaes

Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

I just bought this ipad and cannot log out from icloud because i dont have the password.how can i log out from icloud?need help
You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so. -

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver. -

Hi NimaG!
It seems like you may need to adjust your notifications settings for Facebook in order to address this issue:

I recently changed from a pc to a mac book. The major issue I am having right now is getting yahoo to work properly. The major thing is autocomplete does not work and I do not know how to load my contacts to "mail". Furthermore, I cannot attach any type of documents to my emails (Yahoo says there is a problem). I suspect there is a setting somewhere, but I don't know where. Javascript is enabled, so I am out of options
Which os are you using?
Yahoo issues should be posted in their forums or contact Yahoo tech support.
