New icloud account but keeping old icloud information

I broke my phone a few weeks ago and to get a replacement from my insurance i have to delete my icloud account, but i have an ipad which is linked up to it and i dont want to loose any of my stuff so just looking for a bit of advise about the best thing to do? any suggestions

If you are deleting the account from your phone, it only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  Doing this will not effect your iPad.
Or, are you asking how to delete the account from your iPad without losing data?

  • HT4557 make a new apple id but keep old one

    how do i create a new icloud account but use the same apple id. when i get a new phone all of my mom and sisters contacts are going to be on my phone again

    Authorize her computer for your account.  She can then listen to and use all of the music on her computer.  Authorizing it does not mean that she can purchase using the account, it only gives permission to use the music.

  • I want to create a new itunes account but keep the content.  Is this possible?

    My family has always used one Itunes account for all devices.  Now it is necessary for us to create a new itunes account.  We want to keep the apps, music etc that we each have now.  How can I do this?  Is this even possible?

    I hope this isn't too wordy but I want to be as clear and explicit as I can for you.
    You can't transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple doesn't allow it.
    You can continue to use your daughter's Apple ID in order to continue to use the apps that you purchased with her ID and you will need to use her ID and password any time that you want to update those apps. What you do want to avoid is having to download any of those purchased apps again on any other devices - if you create a new Apple ID.
    If you create a new ID and then you sign into her ID in order to download a previous purchase-  you will lock yourself out of the new ID for 90 days and there is nothing that you can do about it. So as long as you do NOT download any past purchases with her ID - you will not lock yourself out of the new ID. So you can keep using the apps that were bought with her ID, you can also update those apps using her ID (you have to sign into her account in Settings>Store) but you can't download past purchases without messing things up with your new ID.
    When you download a past purchase with a different ID - you associate that device with the different ID for 90 days. This is one way that Apple hopes to cut down on pirating of apps - friends using other friends IDs in order to download apps without patting for them.
    This explains it in a little more detail.

    The bottom line is that you can create a new ID, still use her ID - judiciously - but you really want to avoid downloading past purchases with her ID. Transfer all of those purchases into iTunes so that if something happens and you need the purchased content again, you can just sync it again rather than downloading it.
    This explains transferring purchases.

  • How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account.  To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

    Hi, Thanks for your guidance- I have a 25GB icloud storage according to my account, but keep getting emails saying I will be reduced to the 5GB maximum by Sept. 30?

    It's true. You got 20 GB free for one year as a former MobileMe member. See this Kbase article:

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

    Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
    You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
    You can redownload all the content.

  • I made a new apple account but every time i download a new app it says i need to put in my old accounts password and every time I do it says incorrect  how do I fix this?! I need help!

    As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
    In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
    Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID?

  • 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.

    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    CHANGE ID
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    The ID is used in the following locations and you  have to change them.
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    Settings>iCloud
    and Settings>iTunes and App store
    You  have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
    Note the following are resolved if you  use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

  • HT1373 how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    An iTunes account is something you log into online to buy music.
    An iTunes library is a collection of media and other items (including apps) on your computer.  This is what you see when you open iTunes.
    So, do you mean account or library?  You can set up a new iTunes account but all your purchases made in that account will remain in the old account and cannot be moved.  You can set up a new library by starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.

  • I recently changed my email on my apple account but the old email address is displayed when I go into iTunes or App Store not allowing me in.

    I recently changed my email on my apple account but the old email address is displayed when I go into iTunes or App Store not allowing me to sign into my account. At some points it's a vicious circle because it asks for a password at key times when trying to correct the problem. Note that the new email address shows when I log into my Apple account and shows it was verified. For some reason the system isn't updating to the new email in ALL places.
    I hope this is the right place to post this. Thanks!

    Apple doesn't monitor here. Best we can do is to push you to contact Apple directly.
