My husband and I share the same I cloud. I want to create a new I cloud for his I phone but it keeps wanting to ask questions about my apple ID and password. I don't want to change my apple ID or password. How can I set him up a new account w/o changing

My husband and I have been sharing an I cloud account. He can't update his phone due to our shared account. I want to get him a new account and was told to delete the current I cloud account off his phone and just create a new one. The problem is that it wants to keep accessing the old one. I don't want my I cloud account changed. I don't know what to do. Any advice?

Did he have find my iPhone enabled under that iCloud account? If so, add the account back to his phone. Then in the iCloud account settings, disable find my iPhone first (you will be prompted for your password), then remove the account.
Now you can create or add a new iCloud account to it using his own AppleID.
Alternatively, you could log in to your www.icloud.com account in a web browser. Using the find my iPhone app there, remove his iPhone from your list of associated devices (he will have to power his iPhone off for you to do that).
After his iPhone is set up for his own iCloud account, on your iPhone, go to
settings->iCoud->Storage & Backup->Manage Storage and delete his iPhone's backup file to make more room on your own iCloud storage account.

Which iPhone app?
Don't just enter usernames and passwords into apps unless you know what it is for and why it wants it.

There is nothing you can do about but ask the seller for your money back. Without the previous owners applid password, you cannot activate and use that device - there is no way around that. iOS 7's Activation Lock needs to be disabled by the previous owner in order for you to use it - if they cannot (or willnot) produce the password to disable it, you have no options.
They can disable it remotely for you - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661 but not if they do not remember their own password.

You cannot get around Activation Lock without the oringinal owner disassociating the iPad from their account.
See the Activation Lock FAQ for what you and they need to know.

HT1689 Can i combine my husbands contacts and mine if we have two different itune accounts and emails and passwords? Can both sets of contacts live on the cloud and be donwloaded to both our phones?

Hey NON-TECHNO-WIZARD
You can do one of two things. The first is to just export out the contacts and import them into each other’s account. If something is updated the other person will not be updated with the information. Now another options is using one Apple ID for iCloud Syncing and then you can still use individual Apple ID’s for store purchases. The article below will shed some light on how you can use the Apple ID.

You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.
Want MacBook Pro forum or Lion Community?

I lost my apple tv remote. How can I set up the use of my iphone remote app without it?

The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

If i forget the ID and password how can i open my device ?

i forget the Apple ID and its password ,, how can i open my device ?

You can't. Both are required for access. Find My iPhone Activation Lock. If you are the original owner and have written proof of purchase then you could ask for help at the Apple Store.

My friend gave me a 2nd hand iphone 4S. The previous owner (not the person who sold it to me) has his phone connected to the computer I Cloud for Find My Phone. How can I change to my apple id and apple password to start using my phone?

Thank you for any light you can shine on this issue! LisaKaye

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

I shared an ipod 5th generation with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. how can i change it for my password and email address so that i can wipe it and start again?

i shared an ipod 5th gen with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. i have the ipod now but no password and would like to put it on my email and password so that i can wipe it clean and start again, any ideas?

The iPod isn't tied to an Apple ID, but is likely tied to an iTunes library. If you want to set it up as a new iPod (as if you were just pulling it out of the box), restore it to factory settings in iTunes.

Every time i turn on my iMac my iTunes opens with a window asking me to sign in with my password , how can i stop this ?

Every time I turn on my Imac my itunes opens as I have set up to but a window pops up asking me to sign in with my itunes password , is there a way to stop this as it's quite annoying .
Many Thanks

Correction: this is for automatic logon of the iMac itself.
In SystemPreferences/Users&Groups login items tab:
remove the line
iTunes with the minus sign at the bottom.
then also iTunes Match if you have it.

My partner updated his iphone 4 and now we both seem to share the same i cloud. We are sharing contacts which we done want to do. Help Please.

My partner updated his iphone 4 and somehow we now share an i cloud account.
His contacts are on my phone, mine on his.
If he deletes a contact it deletes from my device too.
Help please.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
He needs to delete your iCloud account from his phone (settings > icloud > Delete account, turning Find my phone off first), then log into his own account.

TS3988 i have an old icloud account and i really dont remeber the account name and password how can i get access to it

As posted earlier, you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking on the Find your Apple ID on the bottom right. If you are able to find the ID, you can then reset the password here:https://iforgot.apple.com/, allowing you to access your iCloud account again.
