I want to make a new iCloud Account, but not a new Apple ID account.

I share an Apple ID and iCloud Account with my Father, and I would like to make a new iCloud Account so we don't have the same contacts, email, etc. shared with each other. But I would not like to make an entirely seperate Apple ID account since I've made song purchases on this account that I can't get back.

iCloud has a feature called "iCloud mail aliases" which allows users to create up to three so-called alias emails. Each of these is a completely separate email address which forwards email to you and lets you send email from it. Unfortunately, there's no way to have two separateaccounts in iCloud, but this may prove useful to you anyway.
To set up a new alias, go to https://www.icloud.com/#mail and open Preferences, accessed via the gear icon in the top right. Under the Accounts tab, click "Add an alias…" and fill out the desired settings.

  • Mail server working sending emails between user accounts but not to other (outside) email accounts?

    Hi!
    I am new to Mac OS X Server Mail and I am trying to set up.  I have successfully started the mail services and created 2 user accounts.  Those accounts can email each other back and forth, no problem; however, they cannot send/receive to other email addresses.  Anyone know why this would happen?
    I'm learning OS X Server and appreciate any help!

    Hi,
    setting up mail can is quite complicated.
    Suggest you watch this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAODxn7LF6k&list=PL01BB6048468891F7&feature=share &index=16
    this should give you some ideas where to look.
    Have in mind that you need to do DNS set-ups, need to have a static IP address ( or use a DynDNS service ),very likely also add MX records etc. etc.

  • How do I separate my daughters devices from my icloud but use the same apple itunes account?

    How can I separate my daughters icloud account but keep the same apple itunes account?

    To migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she keep 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 she is syncing any notes with iCloud that she wants to keep on her device, you'll need to open each of them and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her 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), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload her data.  (If she has multiple devices, she can go through this same process on the others, but choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted as the data has now already been migrated to the new account.)
    Once you are both on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account if you need to.
    You can continue to share the same iTunes ID.  The ID used for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes.

  • Safari (7.0.1) is non-responsive (spinning pinwheel) upon start up.  It will work in temp user account but not in my main user acct.  I tried reinstall via comman-r prompt on start up but the problem persists.  Any suggestion for reinstall or repair?

    Safari is non-responsive after intitial start up.  Before it can load the homepage (google), it will hang and give a perpetual pinwheel until I force quit the program.  Safari works in temporary user account but not in my primary user account.  I have reinstalled osx via the command-r upon start up and the problem still persists.  Any suggestions on how to reinstall or repair safari?

    Thanks for thinking about my problem. I've already experimented with creating a new user, a co-administrator. The programs don't crash when that account is running, just as they don't crash when the guest-user's account runs. So it seems that the problem is limited to the default user's account, which is the one that was running when I installed the updates to the OS and the firmware. Another clue is that the programs that crash as soon as they are launched are *probably* the ones that were open at that time in that account. Yet deleting Saved Application States does not keep the programs from crashing when next launched.
    So the mystery continues, but these additional facts will help with the diagnosis, I hope.
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

    i still want an icloud email but under a new address name.

    Hi CMOREL,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you'd like to use a different iCloud email address, you can create an alias at iCloud.com. See this article for the steps to create an alias:

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

  • HT1689 I need to get my iPod to no longer be associated with the original i store account. My husband set it up through his account but now I have my own account. I don't want to go through his every time I want to make a change. how do I make this change

    I need to get my iPod to no longer be associated with the original i store account. My husband set it up through his account but now I have my own account. I don't want to go through his every time I want to make a change. how do I make this change?

    I am trying to stop using my I-pod under my husband's I-Tune account.  It was set up under his account and the only way I can use it under my account is to erase all of the songs my husband loaded on for me.  I had heard there is a duration that I-Pods are locked into to one account only, and I am trying to discover how I can use my account without having to erase everything on the I-Pod.  I know it sounds confusing but that's the way I-tunes have set it up.  thanks for asking.

  • My iCloud account is not receiving new emails.

    <My iCloud account is not receiving new emails>
    I wasn't even using Mail at the time but all of a sudden I was prompted for the iCloud password, but it wasn't accepted, I tried it several times. 
    So I changed the password through iforgot.apple.com.  I entered the new password in the Account Preferences window.
    I am still not receiving new emails. 
    Does anyone have a suggestion or clue?

  • My icloud has a different email and it wants me to sign in to my account but i don't have an account with that address how do I get icloud to take the right address

    My Icloud keeps asking me for my apple ID password my problem is that the user name icloud has on the request isn't my apple ID name its another email address that i have
    I need to figure out how to change the ID name on the icloud so I can enter my corect password

    Your iCloud account is tied to your Apple ID account - if you go into System Preferences>iCloud>Account Details, you'll see the associated email address. If you need to change your iCloud prefs, change your Apple ID - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
    Good luck,

  • I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

    I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
    Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
    My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
    Please help!

    Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

  • I have an old aol email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure.

    I have an old AOL email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure. Any way I can find out what I used it for in the past?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address.  If it is, remove it.  Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
    If that fails...
    Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
    You'll need to speak to someone in account security.  They'll have to go through a verification process with you, in order to reveal information.  If you fail that process, they will be able to tell you nothing.

  • Since upgrading to 10.8 I've had alot of issues burning DVD's. I've had the drive replaced and now I can burn from a new user account but not the old one. Is there any way of making the old one work?

    Just want to avoild spending hours migrating everything across....

    Yes, I can read but just can't write DVD's. I get:
    This disc can’t be verified and might be unreliable. Try again using a new blank disc (error code 0x80020063).
    Originally I thought it was the old Moutain Lion DVD drive issue (but have had the drive recently replaced by Apple), so I tried creating a new account, which worked.
    In the old account I have reset SMU, Pram... but no change.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her owniPod

    I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her own iPod and own account .   What's the best way to go?

    You can use one Apple ID for purchasing (App Store & iTunes Store) and shared with your child whereas your child uses a different Apple ID for Game Center, e-mail, FaceTime, iMessage. Even on iCloud there you'll get an extra 5GB free.
