I accidentally add my icloud id to my boyfriend cell phone. now he has all my info. I cant delete without deleting all his contacts too...

mlj

He needs to restore it using the computer he normally syncs to. Hopefully, he's been doing that on a regular basis. If he was backing up to iCloud, Settings>General>Resets>Reset all content and settings. When that's complete, it will go into the setup. He can then choose whether to restore it from iCloud or from iTunes on HIS computer.
If he was not syncing/backing up at all, then the data is gone.
The iPhone can only sync to one iTunes library at a time. It sounds like when you plugged it in, it prompted you with the available options and you chose to restore it using the backup of your phone.

HT201272 how do i get my music from my ipod and icloud to my android based cell phone??

I got an HTC android phone with T Mobil service and just recently I have been trying out the.icloud and have been looking to get all the music from my 3 or 4 generation iPod. I want my music to match on all my devices. I would like to know what app I can use on my android based phone to retrieve the data from icloud and itunest. What app do I need for my android? Does apple even have an android iTunes?

Sorry, Apple iTunes are for Apple products only not available for Android.

I lost some info on my note book on my iphone 4s...i didnt sign up for icloud but when i do go there now it asks for payment info but will not accept my security numbe ron the back of my credit card

I erased some info in my notes on my iphone4s and was then trying to find it in icloud but i cant get into i cloud until i put in payment info but payment info wont accept the code on the back of my credit card

Hi..
May not be just the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records

HT2905 All my songs have a unrequested duplicate with iCloud tag to download. How to delete without deleting the lot?.

The HT 2905 is for duplicate contacts? ; no help to solve MY problem which is : I can't delete the iCloud duplicate song. I get a warning that all songs will be deleted from the computer, I pods and so on. I want to delete only the duplicates NOT ALL the songs. This is frustrating.

Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple references to the same files then don't send to the recycle bin, and the files will be left behind for the other entries to use. Use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

My husband and I share an ITunes account. He gets my apps and I get his. How can this be separated. I am also getting his contacts. My Icloud is turned off!

My husband and I share an I tunes account.
This was never a problem until I Cloud was born.
I have turned off the Icloud on my I phone4 all together.
He has Iphone 4S and is getting all the apps I purchase and I am getting his contacts.
How can this be solved. If I get my own Itunes account do I have to purchase my apps again?
Help!

If you use another iTunes ID you can keep your apps, but you need to do some settings first.
Read the hlep infos.

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device? 
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
And about the iCloud, I'm not very sure about that. I think maybe you don't need to turn off all of the iCloud settings, just the items you don't want to sync with your husband. For the apps, you can cancel 'automatically download purchased items' in the settings on iOS devices.
May these informations will help you.

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.

How can I add an iCloud email alias?, How can I add an iCloud email alias?

I'm trying to figure out how to add an iCloud email alias but can't figure out where or how to. Please help.

You do it on the iCloud website at http://www.icloud.com , in the Mail section. Please see this Help page:

Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one?

Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one? I would like to have two different email addresses for personal use, on Icloud.

You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

How to restore Address Book and then add working iCloud Account?

OK i'm going insane trying to resolve this one.... all started with a shed load of Duplicates!
3 devices: MacBook Pro, iMac, iPhone 4S
I finally upgraded the MBP to 10.7.2, the iMac already was and the iPhone was already 5.0.1
I've held off moving to iCloud from Mobile.me because of the 10.6.x MBP
...so now all on the same song sheet, I clicked the upgrade to iCloud from my MBA and all went well!
The MBA pushed 1352 address cards to the iCloud and I only had the iCloud account showing in my Address Book.
My iPhone then happily went iCloud and downloaded ALL the calendars (and I have far too many....I'll clean up soon, promise ;-)
but i hadnt turned on Contact sync for a very good reason.
I DON'T WANT ALL MY CONTACTS ON MY iPHONE!
So having found some advice, it says you have to keep everything you dont want in iCloud, in the On My Mac account
(which I didnt appear to have at that point)
I turned my iMac on and connected to the iCloud, all went well and I again had a single iCloud account in Address Book with 1352 cards
I then went Address Book/Preferences/General/Deafult Account/On My Mac and it generated the empty On My Mac account in the Address Book.
Highlighting ALL my iCloud address cards and dragging them to On My Mac, a successful duplication was made.
Highlighting ALL my iCloud address cards and deleting, all three devices now had NO contacts in the iCloud related accounts (what I wanted)
I then turned on Contact sync on my iPhone and it pushed 186 contacts to the iCloud and in turn to all 3 devices (perfect!)
but then came the fun part....
On my iMac, the On My Mac account had gone from 1352 to over 1900 with loads of duplicates. So I selected ALL deleted and restored from an Address Book backup prior to going iCloud. This began my problem....
if I restore it WIPES the iCloud account from the machine and leaves me with 1352 in On My Mac,
if I try and add an iCloud account it then wants to upload the 1352 into the iCloud which I dont want.
If I delete all, setup iCloud acount first I get the 186 correctly, but the moment I restore from backup it overwrites and I'm again left with On My Mac and no iCloud account
AHHHHHH!
how on earth do I get the working iCloud with 186 (which is perfectly fine on 3 devices) and restore 1352 in ON MY MAC, so my iMac Address Book has two accounts very seperate from each other. I want the 186 on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, but I want an iCloud account with 186 and an On My Mac with 1352 on the iMac
ANY advice welcome
TIA

Thanks havinabubble for your assistance. I'm having all sorts of problems with iCloud because we've got iphone 3g's which means the iCloud is working on our mac and ipads but not on our iphones. I've been trying to solve this problem for days and I lost my "on my mac account" along the way. Once I followed your section where you gave directions how to "generate the empty On My Mac account" I was able to re-establish my contacts list on my mac. Your suggestion was very valuable. Thank you.

thanks to a bit of sleep and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17282476#17282476
cheers to Winston Churchill who's post gave me the solution!
with On My Mac selected, highlight and DRAG TO DESKTOP
then highlight ALL and DELETE ALL
add the iCloud account which replaces ALL contacts with the 186 from the iCloud.
select Address Book/Preferences/General/Default Account/On My Mac and it generates the empty On My Mac account in the Address Book.
DRAG the 1352 back into On My Mac account
now have two accounts...
PROBLEM SOLVED, thanks Winston!

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices,

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.
Settings>iCloud>Sign Out.

Can I add my icloud email account to my phone if my phone is not an iPhone?

I do not have an iphone but I have a basic smart phone, however we just bought a new Mac desktop that has the icloud email service. I was just wondering if I could add my iCloud account to my phone without my phone being an Iphone.

You can add your iCloud email account to your phone by using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864. While these apps aren't free, if your phone is an android, you could also look into using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts and SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars to sync your iCloud contacts and calendars.

The seller needs to follow this procedure:

If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud?

My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?

You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:

In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added.

Error even after re-import CD and add to iCloud

Like others, I have many errors from iTunes match. My collection is not very large, but I have many tracks flaged as "error". In most cases most tracks for a CD were matched or added to iCloud. But not ALL. And trying "add to iCloud" always results in "Error" with no explanation.
So I decided to try just to get a single CD to work. I deleted all trace of the CD (The Beatles, Past Masters - Volume One) from my iTunes and iCloud. Then imported again from CD. I imported as 256K, then said "add to iCloud". Even then, it matched many items, but still I have errors for 6 of the tracks. I did it again, but imported as 128K... with the same result.
I'd be fine if it matched some tracks, and uploaded others. I just want the whole CD in iCloud. Is that too much to ask?
I'm a big Apple fan, and patient, so I hope they can get this fixed.

Hi beachy85!
When you remove iTunes, your music on your computer (and your iPod, too) will be saved.
Let's try this:
Go to "Add or remove programs" in Control Panel.
Find iTunes and QuickTime from this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the remainging installation files.
For information on the WICU, see this:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Then, go to this page, and QuickTime (get the Standalone version, not the one that includes iTunes in the pack):
QuickTime download
Then, install iTunes from this page here:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Now, try opening iTunes again. Do you still get that error message, or not?
