I am looking to seperate my icloud account from my wife's in one apple ID

One of the phones can keep the current account; on the one that will be moving 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.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone 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 the new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the other person's data (such as deleting your wife's contacts from your account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.  When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

  • How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?

    How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?
    It requires i log into FindMyiPad to delete the iCloud account however the Apple ID has changed therefore the username/password no longer exists.
    This is just sending me in circles to log into to a non-existant apple id with no password to delete my iCloud so i can log in with my updated apple ID.

    Settings/iTunes and App Store log out then log in with new ID.  you might want to change ID in iMessage, FaceTime and Siri and delete the cloud account and create one with new ID.  remember apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them and can only be updated with that ID

  • HT204053 how can i delete my old icloud account from my iphone

    how can i delete my old icloud account from my iphone

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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 can I seperate my iCloud account, How can I seperate my iCloud account

    I have one iTunes account and one iCloud account for three phones, mine, my husband's and my sons.  I need to seperate the iCloud account and make seperate ones for each person.  How do I do this so I don't delete important phone numbers out of our contacts?

    First, make sure all contacts are on everybody's phones now (ideally, make sure you have an up to date sync'd copy in your computer contacts as well).  Then, you will need new AppleIDs for everyone so they all can have their own iCloud account.  Keep the current shared AppleID for iTunes so you can continue to share your purchased content.
    Using free emails (if needed - get GMail, Hotmail, yahoo, or whatever free email accounts you prefer), create new unique AppleIDs for everybody at
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Then, delete the iCloud accounts on the phone, and then create new ones with the new AppleIDs.  Violoa, everybody has their own unique iCloud account with their own unique AppleID login.  You can also use those same unique AppleIDs to make sure everybody has unique iMessage accounts as well so you are not all stumbling over eachothers messages.

  • How do I unlink an iCloud account from an iTunes one?

    This is like  https://discussions.apple.com/message/25495321  which randers4 answered last month.  My wife & son both have iPhones on the her iTunes & iCloud accounts, which causes all sorts of grief with iMessage & iTunes purchases (apps & music) and we need to get son on his own .  She has hundreds of notes and thousands of calendar entries that she REALLY doesn't want to lose; he has lots of music & apps (bought on her account) that he REALLY doesn't want to lose.
    randers 4 suggested first
    You need to migrate her device to a different account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want 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 that you want to keep, 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 (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    1) I don't understand the difference between photo stream and camera roll - what's that all about?  Sounds quite labour intensive for anything more than a few photos.  Son has hundreds of photos taken on the iPhone, wife has dozens - can I just use iTunes to take my wife's photos off her device, and leave son with anything he's got in the cloud?
    2) Notes are a real issue - would be horrible to have to mail mail each one and recreate.  Is there no way to bulk export, either from phone or cloud?
    3) What about calendar entries?  The phone only stores the last x months, and the rest are on iCloud.  Really don't want to lose these, they are effectively my wife's diary with notes taken at meetings and from our holidays.  As they aren't all on the deivce, I don't know if Merge will do what randers4 suggests.
    All looks really messy, any help the community can offer is much appreciated.

    You're welcome.  I've been gone all day so I'm just getting back to you...
    To answer your first question, that's normal.  When you take a photo on your device (or save an image from an email or web page), it is saved to the camera roll.  If you have photo stream enabled, new photos/images added to the camera roll are then uploaded to your photo stream.  (This happens when the device is connected to wifi with the camera app closed and it has at leaset 20% battery life remaining.)  Once added to photo stream, all devices.computers sharing the photo stream then receive a copy of the photo.  Since the device that added the photo to camera roll is also sharing the photo stream, it receives a copy of the photo as well, in the my photo stream album.  That's how you end up with a copy of the photo in both the camera roll (the original) and in my photo strem (the photo stream copy).

    If I understand correctly, I can avoid any issue with Notes & Calendar by keeping the existing iCloud account on my wife's device, and migrate my son to his own new iCloud, having protected any of his Photo Stream pics from deletion first.  Then we can lose his data on her iCloud, and presumably his iCloud will only have the stuff uploaded from his iPhone after it is linked to the new account.  Is that right?
    Correct.  When you delete the existing iCloud account from his phone, it is only deleted from his phone, not from iCloud.  Thus, deleting the account from his phone will not effect any devices that continue to use the existing account.  Once his phone is on a separate account, your wife and son can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete each other's data from their own account without effecting the other account.  After doing so, they will only have their own data in their separate accounts.
    If you want to deal with the notes on someone else's Mac, you would want to start by going to System Preferences>iCloud on their Mac, click Sign Out, then choose Delete at all of the prompts.  This will delete their iCloud account and data from their Mac, but not from iCloud.  Then you would sign back in using your existing iCloud account, and check both Notes and Mail (having Mail checked is required in order to sync Notes with iCloud).  Next, you would go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars if using OS X Lion)>iCloud, sign into your son's new iCloud account as a secondary account, and check both Mail and Notes in this account as well.  Then you should be able to drag and drop the notes between the two accounts inside the Notes app (if you want to copy them, hold down the Option key as you drag and drop; if you want to move them, just drag and drop).  When you're done, sign out of both iCloud accounts, choose Delete at all of the prompts, then sign back in to the original iCloud account that the Mac was using.  Their iCloud data will then download back to their Mac and it will be as it was when you started.

  • Cannot send email from icloud account from mac

    cannot send email from icloud account from mac running 10.8.2

    The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
    SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

  • How can I separate my iCloud account from my sons phone

    How can I separate my iCloud account from my sons phone?

    Just delete your iCloud account from your sons device. Therefor open "Settings >iCloud", scroll down, and delete your account (don't worry, it will only delete the account from your sons device). If he also uses this account for iTunes and App store purchases and you would like to change that as well, then you have to do the same in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores".

  • How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • How do I delete all iCloud accounts from different places to consolidate them? Also one of the email addresses is locked so will the material bought from iTunes there be acceptable? Thanks.

    From the title of the above problems the iCloud accounts are on 2 PCs and one iPad2.

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account").
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    You'll need to decide whether to keep info on the device or merge it at the appropriate time when prompted.
