I have the same account as my family but I want to make and use my own iCloud, so I need to get my family's off my iPhone but I DO NOT want all of the data on my phone to be deleted off. How do I make and switch my account without losing my data?

I also don't want to get rid of my family's data, either! Thanks!

To migrate your data to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you wish to keep on your phone to your camera roll (unless they are already there). To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Next, if you are syncing notes with iCloud you will need to open them one at a time and email them to yourself so that you can later use the emails to copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. (This only deletes the account from your phone, not from iCloud. Other's still using the account will not be effected by this.) Then sign back in with a new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge when prompted to upload your data to the new account. When you turn Mail to On you will be prompted to choose your new @icloud.com email address (if you wish to use iCloud email).
Once your device has successfully migrated to a separate account, you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into your new account and delete your other family member's data from your account.

How do you stop an update on Pages without losing your data?

how do you stop an update on Pages without losing your data? i've connected my ipad to my phone's internet network through tethering. it's been ages already. but Pages is still not fully updated and i just wanna stop it anyway without losing my work inside...can anyone please shed light on this? i'd be absolutely certainty definitely grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can try pausing the download by tapping on the Pages icon, but you may not be able to use Pages until the update completes. I don't know that for sure, but I wouldn't want to take the chance on corrupting the app and maybe the files.

How do I migrate to a new mac without losing application data

I've got an older iMac and have recently purchased a new macbook pro. I have an iphone and an ipad that I would prefer to start syncing with my new macbook but when I connect it, it warns me that it's going to wipe out my iphone first. I've already gone through and moved all my music, books, media & apps to my new macbook. I know I can go through the process of wiping out my iphone and then reset up again but apart from that painful excercise, the biggest issue is the app data will be lost. I've been checking the internet for a solution and everyone seems to have a different way of going about it but they don't seem to work. I also checked in the apple communities but I don't see any answers there either for this specific question.
Does anyone know the best way to handle this?

The best thing to do is to move all of your important data, including your iTunes library, from your old computer to your new computer. If you don't want to do that, follow the instructions here:
By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from her phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on her own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, or copy them from your old computer, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

I forgot my itouch password and it's not letting me into itunes or back it up. How do I reset it or recover it without losing my data?

Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

How do I safely Reboot my Macbook Pro without losing my data?

Is it possible to reebot your computer without getting rid of all your data?
If it is how?
I have been on youtube and other forums but they all reset your computer to default.
I am using a MacBook Pro 13" with the new Mavricks Update.

Do you want to reboot your computer? Or do you want to reset to factory setting?
If you want to reboot follow nbar's advice.
If you want to reset to factory settings, you will need to do one (or both) of two things. You can buy an external hard drive and copy your files/photos/movies...etc onto the drive. Or you can subsribe to a cloud service like Apple's iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft's Skydrive. Chances are you will need more than the typcial 5 gb of free space. To be extra safe with your data, you could do both.
Once you do that, you can reset your mac. After you go throught the set up process, you can transfer your data back.
Hope this helped!

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

How do i see what photos are stored in my icloud. I cannot do this without installing 8.0 or above which i cannot do as i do not have enough space on my iphone. I do not want to delete the pics to make enough room to install 8.0 without checking

Good day AMELIASARAH,
One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -
If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

First, AVCHD isn't just "one" clip, it splits the video & audio into several files each per clip, typically with randomly generated names. The only way they "play" correctly is if the software doing so is able to read from the data file ...in a different folder ... the information that X clip is actually A, B, D, #@, and 456 video clips and TR, #r54, and ert$%4 audio clips. The next "clip" is ... and on and on. So both rapid access to the video files AND that database file are necessary to play the files back, or do anything else with them.
VLC is a fairly decent but simple playback tool. It's nowhere near as complicated nor demanding in its "relationship" with those clips as an NLE like PrPro, which will be trying to do more reading & writing.
Further, many of the preferences in PrPro are natively set so that it writes project, cache, preview, & database files next to the footage. So ... if it doesn't have both a fast enough connection with the data AND space for putting all of it's own stuff there, it tells you it can't work the file.
Therefore ... the need to have the complete data from the card in the exact same folder structure it was in ON the card copied to a "local" hard drive.

Itunes could not back up iphone because backup could not be saved on the PC

I am not able to backup my iphone. After the last step it always comes up with this message "itunes could not back up iphone because backup could not be saved on the computer" . I tried all solutions mentioned earlier like changing time zone, deleting previous backups & manually backing up, changing user admin, running itunes as an admin, etc .
I guess my problem lies in the Camera roll. I deleted all my pictures in it and I am left with 3 images. I guess they are corrupt as I am not able to delete them. When I try to delete them from iphone gallery, it crashes. When I try to delete it from external devices like when its connected to PC, same problem occurs, cant delete these 3 pictures. I guess they are corrupt.
Can you please let me know what to do.I dont know want to restore to factory settins

I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.
