New iCloud account for a relative

Can I create a new iCloud account for a relative who is hospitalised and has recently bought an iPhone 4S ?

You don't need the phone's serial number: go to http://appleid.apple.com on your Mac and you can create an ID for him: you will need an email address which will become the ID, and you will obviously need to set a password. Or this can be done on his phone if preferred.
Then all he has to do is to sign in with that in Settings>iCloud. He will be asked to create an @me.com address. The setup procedure is detailed here:

How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

How do I get a new icloud account for my phone when it was setup with my wifes account?

Go to Settings>iCloud and sign out. Any synced data, such as calendars and contacts, will be removed.
To get a new ID: go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address from any ID you already have.
Then go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in there, enabling any data types you want to sync in the list there. You will be asked to create a new @icloud.com address when enabling Mail.

How can I create a new iCloud account for a familiy member having a new iDevice and reuse one of my aliases for it

Hi there,
I moved into iCloud from the very beginning and started with one iCloud account for me and my family, making use of email aliases for family members. Now the number of personal iDevices grows and I want to create a new and separate iCloud Account for my son. The pity is, that I reserved his full name already as alias address on my initial iCloud account. If I now delete this alias, can I create a new account with the former alias as new primary email address?
Or is there at least any transfer procedure supported for aliases between different accounts?
Thanks for your help, lauterbachj

Couldn't agree more... the folks who are getting penalized for this are the early adopters of .Mac/iCloud dating from the days when the only way to implement a "family" account was to use aliases. Now all my kids' / my wife's name aliases sit in my account, unable to move. I guess the good news is that if I delete them nobody else will get them, but this seems a pretty poor consolation.
Would it really be so difficult to implement a "move this alias to another iCloud account" option that requires the "sender" and "receiver" to exchange some sort of code to implement the transation in order to prevent fraud?

New iCloud account on iPad gets email, cant connect to safari

i setup my old iPad for my cousin, with his new iCloud email and iTunes account. The iPad gets email from his new iCloud account and his old Frontieer account, but safari cant connect. Tried logging in to iCloud , but it said "invalid email or password" . We reset his password using my new iPad then tried logging on with his old iPad and got the same message.

I did reset and erase all content on the iPad. At my house we set up a new iCloud account for my cousin and added his old email to his new/used iPad. We did not sync it to his computer(we were not near his computer at the time and his computer is an old pc laptop. i didn't think it could be synced to it.) when he left my house he was able to get his email (old and new accounts) and search the web. At his home he gets his email, both accounts But can't connect to safari. Tried to log into iCloud and got the "invalid email or password" response. We changed his password using my iPad but got the same "invalid email or password" response.
Demo, are you saying that the iPad needs to be linked to his desktop(old laptop)? I was hoping to avoid that because he was having trouble with it, I know nothing about pcs and I was hoping to convert him to apple because of its simplicity. The simplicity is avoiding us in this instance

What happens if I make a new iCloud account? My brother and I share and neither of us have enough space to back up our phones, and need to.

My brother and I share and iCloud account, and we have the basic 5.0GB of space. The backup space is full and neither of us can back up our phones but need to, so we can clear space on our phones. I want to make a new iCloud account for myself so that I have 5.0GB to myself, but will doing so mess up data on our phones? Such as contacts, apps, etc. Also, if it is safe to make a new account, how can I do so?

Just so you know, doing an iCloud backup is not going to free up any space on your device. It is only going to back up what is on your device in case you need it to restore your device. If you need to free up space on your device, go to Settings>General>Usage, and under the first Storage section, see what is taking up so much room on your phone.
Delete any unneeded apps, delete mail, text messages with videos and photos, remove photos from your Camera Roll if you have imported them to your computer, etc.
If you set up a separate iCloud account, then everything associated with the other iCloud account will no longer be there. Contacts can be preserved by "Keeping them on your Phone" when you delete the original iCloud account (it will ask you if you want to do that). Then, when you add the new iCloud account, you can "Merge" them with that account so you still have them.
Apps are associated with your iTunes account, and you can have a separate iCloud account from your iTunes account (see the section "Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases":
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
To create a new iCloud account, you are essentially setting up a new Apple ID. Here is another helpful support article about setting up a new iCloud account:

Hey Hindfromlondon,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.
You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud. See:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
What is an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
and further down:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Regarding iCloud storage check out
iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.

I have been using icloud for itunes and aps purchases, but now I would like to create a new icloud account so that my calendars sync without having to plug in ... how do I do this, as my phone won't let me change the icloud account

My husband and I have been using our iCloud account for music and ap purchases only. I have decided that i would like to now create a new icloud account so that i can sync my calendar and contacts. I read about doing this online and it looks simple and easy ... and yet, when i go to switch it on my iphone, there is only 1 place for an icloud account (our shared account) and it is greyed out so that I cannot change it. How do I do this?

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id. I cannot verify the email sent. I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?

How do I set up a new iCloud account separate for my iphone and ipad?

I have an old iCloud account for my iphone and when I bought an ipad last year I used the same iCloud account. I now have no storage left and my iphone won't back up. I want to upgrade my iphone soon but don't want to lose all my photos, contacts, etc.
I have spent the last hour trying to create a new iCloud account so I have two separate ones for my iphone and iCloud, to no avail. Apple don't seem to have any information I submit and I am just going round in circles updating passwords! And re-enters new account details. I haven't received an email registering my new iCloud account.
Can anyone help! Can I create two iCloud accounts? Why can't i! Even though I am using two separate email addresses.

If it's stuck on verifying it's because she never responded to the verification email that Apple should have sent to the primary email address she used for the Apple ID she set it up with. She should check her inbox and spam/junk folder for this email and click on the Verify Now link to verify the account. If the email isn't there, she can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under her Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
Or, you can just delete the account (which is a misnomer since until verified the account isn't really created).

HT204053 Was using same apple ID for two iPhones. Just got new Apple ID for second phone.. Now how do I get new iCloud account

How do I set up my iCloud account on this phone

You turn off data syncing with the current account, then delete it from you phone, then set up the new account and migrate your data to the new account. On the phone that will be getting the new acount, start by going to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from his phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using your new Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.

Reuse an alias email address for a new icloud account?

In my family we are using an "Family" apply id as a shared family account along with my account and my wife's account. We were using the family account to share icloud content between my wife and I and our family iPad. Under the family apple ID I had also created two alias email address (lets call then child1.me.com and child2.me.com) which I had done a long time ago to "reserve" my preferred emails addresses for when the kids were ready to have one. Apple has changed things a bit since before IOS8 and I have begun to disentangle the family account as a shared iCloud between my wife and I and we are now running our own iClouds, though our iPad still runs using the family account.
My daughter is 11 and recently inherited an old iPhone. I had recently created her an apple ID by faking her age and using her gmail account (as Apple would not allow under 13yr olds to have an account). One thing I discovered is that she cannot access [email protected] account that is an alias of the family account so I started to dig into this deeper. Now that Apple has family sharing I thought I would delete the alias child1 and child2 accounts and set these up as proper apple IDs (as apple now allows this for kids under 13) with Family sharing.
I deleted my alias email addresses and tried to create the same as new icloud accounts (as apple does not allow the use of .me anymore) i.e. [email protected] and [email protected]. This is not working however. Apple is telling me that the accounts are already in use. My understanding is that .me and .icloud are interchangeable so my child1.me.com email alias should have prevented someone else from taking child1.icloud.com; correct? So it would seem that I am blocking my own icloud account creation even though I have now deleted those aliases.
Does anyone know when a deleted alias will become available for use as an icloud account? Also is there any better ways to achieve family email/icloud harmony as right now I am finding it a bit of a mess....
Thx.

Do I found that even though I deleted my aliases I was able to add them back in ti my family account even though Apple states that you can. I could not add them as .me accounts though, they had to be .icloud but I was able to maintain the child1 and child2 components. I ended up deleting them again and just setting up entirely new icloud accounts.
