Yes, delete account and enter a new email address. Or you can also create a free iCloud.com account

How can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud account
how can I add my previous icloud storage from my old iTunes ID to my new icloud account,
"So, is it possible to sync/merge/move/share those purchased apps from the old apple-ID to a new apple-ID?"
No.
Sorry.
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account. -
I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ? And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?
Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

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. -
How can I sync the calendar and contacts from my icloud account to the new icloud account we set for my husband on his iPad and iPhone 5S? I have already set up the Family connections but they are not syncing.
Thanks.
JennyOops my bad...I see that during my troubleshooting I inadvertently left Ringtones unchecked in iTunes.

New iCloud account - can't restore from backup
My phone (4S) was recently stolen. After purchasing my new 4S, I tried to restore my new one to my previous backup but instead of letting me do that it created a new iCloud account altogether and has since been backing up to that one - in order to restore my phone, I had to connect to iTunes. When I restart and erase everything trying to back up to the old iCloud backup, it doesn't even list it as an option - only the new Cloud. How can I remedy this?
In order to restore to an iCloud backup you have to erase the phone and go back through the setup assistant again as you did when it was new. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens again. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). You will be asked to enter your iCloud Apple ID and password. Be sure to enter the ID associated with your old iCloud account so you will be able to access your old backup. Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish. After completing the restore you can either keep this icloud account on your phone and continue using it or go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, then set up your new iCloud account again by entering the new account Apple ID.

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). -
If my husband add a new iCloud account to his iPhone 5, will he be "locked out" because he's using a new Apple ID to do it? Does he have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? He set up his phone using my Apple ID because we didn't know any better. Now we want to separate calendars/contacts, but are afraid of the 90-day lockout.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can change the Apple ID without any problem. On his device, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete account and login with his Apple ID so he'll get his information. iCloud needs an Apple ID, so if he hasn't got one, he must create an Apple ID > http://appleid.apple.com
When you delete the iCloud account, all the information will be deleted, so I recommend you to turn off each service before deleting iCloud -
How do I get my photos from old icloud account to new icloud account?
I had changed my email for my icloud account, but I was unable to change it on my phone. So I had to reset everything because it kept autopopulating my old icloud email. I had quite a bit of photos and I am unable to locate them. Is there a way I can retain my photos from my old icloud account to my new icloud account?
Use shared Photo Stream:

I sent e-mail photos from iPhoto using my @me account but I do not find the history of sent e-mails in my new iCloud account. Where can I find the history of sent e-mails?
Using iPhoto as the email client in iPhoto does not creatge a sent copy. iPhoto indicates in the Info drawer if a photo was emailed by iPhoto (under the Sharing section):
There's no easy way to search for photos that have been emailed. Each photo has to be inspected via the Info tray.
One could add a keyword to emailed photos which would let a smart album keep track of those photos.
A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client (in iPhoto's General preference pane) and use it. That will give you an sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if you want a theme, numerous photo themes under the Stationary section of Mail.

Trouble in creating a new iCloud account from the existing one
my dad gave me his iPad which he bought(iPad 2) it's troubling me with the iCloud account, the iPad has my dad's existing iCloud account and I want to delete it but I don't have the password so does my dad he doesn't have the password for the account.so my question is could you assist me on how to create a new iCloud account without having the password of the old one.it uses iOS 7.1.2.
You won't be able to delete the existing account in order to set up a new one without the password for the old account. If your father doesn't remember the password, he can reset it as explained here: iCloud: Change your iCloud password.

How can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my apps?
I'm sharing an iCloud and iTunes account and want to have my own. Can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my contact list? If I keep the existing iTunes account with the new iCloud acct, can I reload my apps without purchasing them again? I understand I can create a new iTunes acct afterwards.
OK, so you can create a separate Apple ID for yourself that you use for your Messages, iCloud, Mail, FaceTime, etc. and keep the one that you have your Apps on as your iTunes "Family" Account.
Before you set up your new Apple ID, be sure to delete your iCloud account from your device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the account. Save your Contacts on your phone so you can merge them with your new iCloud account. Your notes, and Photos will still be on your old iCloud account, but if you want to keep any of your photos on your new iCloud account, it would be a good idea to import all of your photos to your computer first, so you can selectively download them to your device. (Note: only your Photo Stream will go away when you delete your iCloud account. Your Camera Roll will stay in place. It's just a good idea to back up that Camera Roll to a computer or to your new iCloud account immediately once you have set it up.
You then would set up a brand new Apple ID for you under Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
Once you get it set up, go into your devices and sign off the following:
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your "Family" Apple ID and Sign Out
Settings>Facetime, click on your Apple ID and sign out
You will leave your "Familiy" Apple/iTunes ID signed on on the iTunes & App Store, becasuse you willl continue to share your iTunes account with the family. Here is a little more info about using two Apple IDs:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Once you have your new ID set up, go back into Messages and FaceTime and sign back in with your new ID
Also, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID, and be sure to "Merge" your contacts into your new iCloud account.
Post back with any questions!

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:
