Is it possible to switch iCloud accounts on my ipad without losing everything?

My boyfriend and I purchased an iPhone and an ipad about 6 months ago. Since we share them both we would like to be able to sync them. The problem is when we set them up we set one up with my email, and one with his email. So we can't sync them now. If I hit "delete account"on the ipad and reset it up with the corresponding email for the iPhone, will it delete all the photos, apps, etc that I have on the ipad now?

I'm really not chasing you, but I was VERY curious to see the product your link was to. Ddd you read what the product does? It is for removing minor blemishes from Polycarbonate (Plastic) devices. iPad however, has a metal back. It is highly doubtful this liquid will help the OP in any way.

You cannot remove an iCloud account from an iOS device without a password.
Forgot your password?

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

Switching icloud accounts on an ipad

Hi, Im wanting to switch an icloud account on an ipad, the ipad belonged to my mother but now im using it. What I want to do is make a new icloud account for this ipad (and an email) and add my Apple ID, to do this would I need to go into the icloud section and delete her account? From what ive read online this seems to be the answer, but is there anything else I need to do such as switch off any other settings? It wont effect her icloud account/Apple ID account on her new ipad will it?

If you have any photo stream photos on your iPad that you want to save, save them to your camera roll first (open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll). Then to to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.
This won't effect your mother's account or devices in any way.

How can i delete my iCloud account from my iPad without deleting my docs

HT5622 How do I access the notes in my iCloud account from an iPad WITHOUT deleting the other iCloud account?

I'm borrowing an iPad from a friend and don't want to mess up their settings too much, but I really need to access something in my Notes and for that I need to access my iCloud account.
Please Help!

I was not aware of the fact that you could not sign into your own iCloud,con account from another computer. Actually, as far as I know, you can. When you go to iCloud.com, you simply sign into your own account.
I can access my iCloud.com account on a Mac running Tiger and here is a screenshot that shows it. I access my Pages files from work on the Mac. I used it yesterday in fact - and I am using an ancient version of Safari as well.

How do I turn off iCloud on my iPhone & iPad without losing data?

I've been a staunch Apple user since my old Apple IIGS. I'm running the latest Snow leopard, and had already made the decision NOT to upgrade to Lion when I found out that Quicken wouldn't work. I don't use MobileMe, and manually synched my "new" iPhone 4 and 1st geiPad thru iTunes. When I upgraded my iPhone to IOS 5, I had problems with my music that I FINALLY was able to straighten out. I then set up an iCloud account, as it promised to be a better way to keep everything on my 3 devices synchronized. When I synched with my computer, my iPhone & iPad both got double events in iCal. I've figured out that the events were loading from the computer AND from the cloud. I've been reading discussion groups that say that once you've set up iCloud, if you turn it off (or delete the account) you'll lose all the data on your computer that you've sent to the cloud (which in my case is Contacts & iCal).
What I really need is good advice on how to reset my devices to "pre iCloud" without losing any data. I hope someone can help me. I usually am somewhat slow in jumping on the "newest technology" bandwagon. Thanks!

I have deleted my iCloud account before (to test something out) and it asked me if I want to keep the information stored on iCloud on my phone. I hope that works for you.

HT1311 I am a teacher and I use my ipad in my classroom. I have my own personal itunes account. My school has set up an itunes account for teachers to download shows for school. Can i download from the achool account onto my ipad without losing my stuff?

I am a teacher and use my personal ipad to teach in my class. My school has set up a separate itunes account for teachers to download shows for use in class. How do i download from a different itunes account than i use personally?

You sign out of your ID in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID, then sign onto the school ID in order to use it. You know your situation better than I do, but when you switch ID's on the iPad and go back and forth in order to download purchases, you run the risk of locking yourself out of one of the ID's for 90 days.

How do I change my icloud account on my ipad?

I need to change my icloud account on my ipad without losing any data or photos. How do I do this? At present my ipad is backed up to my ex partners icloud account, can he access my ipad remotely?

Only speaking of backup and not information that you sync/stream to his icloud.
Depending on maliciousness of his intent and determination he/she can know nothing or everything. By everything I mean that he/she can restore his/her ipad from your backup.
In one hour of time he/she would have access to device that would be exact mirror of what you had in your hands at time of backup. With some luck he would know as much as you do looking at your ipad right now. If you using icloud keychain he/she would have access to your credit card numbers.
Not speaking about backup anymore.
If he/she wants your device can be wiped at any time, as long as he/she is still signed in. He can also enable lost mode on icloud website and then even if you have paperwork that ipad belongs to you, nobody can help you to use ipad. (that is if you use ios 7). Good luck.

Switch icloud accounts on OSX mountain lion

I would like to switch Icloud accounts on my IMac.
I'm currently using my personal icloud account, which is linked to all my personal documents and e-mail- and which is really only intended for my home, but would like to disconnect it, and start using the computer with another icloud account (which is linked to my WORK e-mail, documents).
When I got the new IMac I logged in with my persoanl icloud account (just out of habit) but I really should have used the Icloud from work.
When I now go to the Icloud tab in my system preferences to switch accounts and click "log out" the little wheel starts spinning and my computer starts running exteremely slow. Note that I'm running the 3.2 27" Imac with 16GB of ram and OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2- so I'm pretty sure my system should be more than qualified to handle such a task... (If this machine isn't - good luck to anyone with a slower model...)
The first time I tried this I left it running over night, only to find my mac was frozen the next morning- After a reboot it hadn't logged out from the icloud account.
The 2nd time I tried this, the machine kept spinning for 2 hours, only to come up with a notification that the startup disk didn't have enough resources for program files, and it suggested closing all apps and removing unnecesary files. - My machine is only about 1 month old and has about 970GB of free space...
The 3rd time I tried to log out, nothing happened at all- the wheel just kept spinning and spinning- and after 4 hours i rebooted the system, because I couldn't do anything with the machine anymore...
So here's my question: How can I log out from one icloud account, and log back in with another ( already existing account) without my machine crashing...

If you want to use two iCloud accounts, I recommend you to create another user for that Apple ID because you could have problems with your information

How do I change the main iCloud account on my iPad?

I need to change the main iCloud account on my iPad. I'm merging family MobileMe accounts' contacts, and need to set up multiple devices with the main iCloud family account so we will all share photos, contacts, calendars, etc, but have separate email via personal subaccounts. Trouble is I entered a sub account as the main account on one of the iPads and I can't find a way to change it.

I have the same question for a slightly different reason.
I just got an iPhone6 and set it up from an iPhone4 backup. I never really used that phone for iCloud, When iCloud first launched, I used an old earthlink email but I've since updated to a gmail address on my account.and use iCloud a lot on my iPad and laptop. But the new phone wants me to log in under the old earthlink account. I don't have that password and attempts to reset it have not worked. How can I switch the log in address so I can use the correct working address?

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 remove an iCloud account from an iPad?

My aunt set up my grandmother's iPad and used her iTunes/iCloud information. My grandmother wanted to be able to buy things from the store so I created an account for her with iTunes, but I can't figure out how to remove my aunt's Apple ID from the iPad.
I need to back up her information to the iCloud so she doesn't loose the information and apps before I can reset her iPad, but right now I can only back it up to my aunt's account which would put me right back where I am now.
Thanks for any assistance you can give.

Thank you so much for your fast response! We were worried that deleted my aunt's iCloud account from the iPad would delete it everywhere and she would loose her information.
I don't have an iPad so I was flying blind.

How do I change an iCloud account on an iPad?

My iPhone and iPad use 2 distinct iCloud accounts, as a by product of the mobile me exit. Now I want to sync these 2 devices, so they need to use the same iCloud account. When I start to change the iPad account, I receive a dire warning that all data in iCloud and the iPad will be lost if I proceed.
Is the warning untrue, or am I misreading it, or am i going about this incorrectly? How should one change the iCloud account on an iPad to another existing iCloud account? Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
vr/rick.36n.121w

It does delete it from you iPad but not from the iCloud account. If you want to migrate the data to a different iCloud account first go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn all synced data to Off, when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad. When everything is turned off you can scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up the other iCloud account on your iPad and turn syncing back on for contacts, calendars, etc. When prompted choose merge to upload the data and merge it with any data on this account.

Is it possible to switch iCloud accounts on my ipad without losing everything?
