TS4002 Icloud data restore from one Apple ID to another?

I had to replace my 4S with another. I originally set up icloud on phone "1" (now not working) to back up contact, data, etc with a specific Apple ID. The person who set up icloud on phone "2" used a different aApple ID. How do I get the data from phone/ID "1" loaded to the new phone "2" and new ID?

Start by going to icloud.com on your computer, log into your old iCloud account (the one with the data from phone 1) and verify that the data is still there. If it isn't, it can't be recovered to migrate to the new account.
Assuming the data is still there, go to Settings>iCloud on phone 2 and set this old account up on the new phone. If you already have an iCloud account set up on this phone, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account (this will only delete the account from the phone, not from iCloud; it will still be there when you sign back in later), then set up your old iCloud account. Turn on data syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. and if prompted, choose Merge. Confirm that the data from your old iCloud account is now on your phone. Assuming it is, go to Settings>iCloud and turn data syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. back to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After all iCloud data syncing is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. You now have to move this data to your new account.
To migrate the data to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and set up your new account with your new Apple ID (or set it up again if you had to delete it earlier). Next, turn syncing for calendars, contacts, etc. back to On and if prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data on your phone (from your original iCloud account) to your new iCloud account and merge it with any data that may already be there.

HT201342 I would like to transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to a different apple id. Is this possible?

How can I transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to another apple id?

It isn't possible. If you need to use a different iCloud account with a different ID as your primary iCloud account, you can still set up your other iCloud address as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your ID and turning Mail to on. It will be fetch rather than push email, however, as push is only supported in the primary account.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to move your storage plan from one Apple ID to another.

Can I transfer calendar data from one Apple ID to another?

Just realized that my calendars and email were all sharing one Apple ID with my husband which is problematic because I want my own devices syncing up properly. I've set up my own Apple ID, but before I activate it on my devices I want to be sure I don't lose all the data. Can I transfer a calendar from one Apple ID to another and if so, can I do this from the devices themselves or do I need my desktop?
I've read some earlier related posts and they don't seem to answer this question clearly for me.
Thanks so much!

You will probably need to do this on your Mac; I'm not sure it's possible on an iPhone. You have to deal with one calendar at a time.
Select a calendar listed under your husbands iCloud login name.
From the File menu choose Export...>Export. An .ics file will be saved at your designated destination.
Repeat this for any other calendars.
Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with your own ID. Your calendars and other data will disappear from your Mac but not from the server.
From the File menu choose 'New Calendar' then your iCloud login name in the sub menu.
A new calendar called 'Untitled' will appear in your sidebar under your iCloud login name. Change its name to that of the calendar you exported.
From the File menu choose 'Import...' then 'Import...' from the sub-menu. A navigation pane will open: navigate to and choose your exported .ics file.
iCal will ask you where to import this to. Click the drop-down menu and select the iCloud version of your calendar (make sure not to choose the 'On My Mac' version). Import.
Your calendar contents will appear in the iCloud version of the calendar but this may take some time. You need to leave iCal running until the rotating icon at the top of the sidebar disappears.
Repeat 5-9 for other calendars.

How do I move music from one apple ID to another

How do I move music from one apple ID to another?

If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data (including the calendar) to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (Note, this will delete the account from your iPad but not from iCloud. The account will remain in iCloud if anyone else chooses to remain signed into it an continue to use it.) Next, set up the new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.* When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
* If you only want to upload the calendar, only turn Calendar to On; but I'm assuming you will be the owner and want this to be your iCloud account on your iPad with all your data, and then your can share the calendar with others and administrate it.

How do I switch my iphone 4s from one apple id to another apple id?

How can I switch my phone from one Apple ID to another Apple ID and keep all my apps/information?
I want to use the same ID between my ipod and iphone.
Is this possible?

I'm assuming each device uses its own icloud account and you want them both to use the same account, but not lose data from the device you will do the switch on. If this is the case you need to copy the data from the "old" account to the other account ....
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go 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. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different 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.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

I want to move everything from one apple id to another

I have an apple id using my gmail account. I have had that since the 1st iphone. Then I got a mobieme account and now icloud. What I want to do is get rid of my gmail and only use my me.com. Is there any way to merge or move accounts? I tried just changing my email address for my apple but that didn't work. help?

What is the original account used for? Was it ever an account with actual email on it? - or was it just for iTunes, and you have the iCloud account for email, calendars, and so on - in that event you don't need to move anything (I was assuming, probably wrongly, that you had synced data on both accounts - if you in fact do, please confirm this).
You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

How do i copy contacts from one apple id to another?

how do I copy contacts from one apple id to another?

I assume you mean you want to copy them from one iCloud account/ID to another. If they're synced with iCloud go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose to Keep on My [iDevice], then delete the iCloud account, sign into the other iCloud account, turn Contacts back to On and when prompted choose Merge. Note: when you delete the account it only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud. If you then want to go back to your previous account, delete the iCloud account from your device, when prompted choose Delete From My [iDevice], sign back into your other account, turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge.

Is it possible to transfer all files from one Apple ID to another

Hello,
For work I currently use an iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3) and just recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.10.2) . The only issue is that I will be using a different Apple ID on the MacBook then I was using on the iPad. My question is, is it possible to transfer all of my pages documents from one Apple ID to another all at one time or will I have to manually share each document with myself. If there is a way, would it be possible on the iPad app, the MacBook app or on the iCloud website.
Thanks for your time and help

No, it is not possible. All purchased items under one Apple ID are permanently connected to it. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You can, however, repurchase the items under your new Apple ID.
You can always call Apple to see if they can be of help.

How do I transfer music from one Apple ID to another on an iTouch?

My mom bought some songs with her Apple ID that I want to transfer to my own iTunes library. I've done this before because I got a bunch of music from my dad's Apple ID that I had bought when I was sharing with him, but now I can't figure out how to do it again. I have the iCloud, so should I just delete my iCloud account from my iTouch and log in as her to get the music, then delete hers and log back into mine?

You can not transfer music (or anything else, for that matter) from one Apple ID to another. However, the iTunes library doesn't care which ID was used for the purchase. All music, apps, movies, etc. from multiple IDs can reside on the same library in the same iTunes.
Before I continue, I need a bit more information. You referred to your mom's ID and your dad's ID. Do you also have your own ID? Which music and apps, etc. is actually on the iPod? Which music and apps, etc. is actually in the iTunes library?

Hi I have 2 apple id's one which has pulled through everything except my calendars and one which has pulled through just my calendars. How do I move my calendars from one apple id to another?

Hi I have 2 apple id's one which has pulled through everything into icloud except my calendars and one which has pulled through just my calendars. How do I move my calendars from one apple id to another so that I can see everything in icloud with one apple id?

Having read some other posts I think I have answered my question. If I was somehow able to terminate my old (unwanted) account and Apple ID I would no longer be able to access the material I bought with that ID- so I'm stuck. I have to learn how to manage that situation.
This is unfortunate for Apple consumers. Life is complicated for families these days and this "rule" although it is in place to prevent cheating and fraud makes things unnnecessarily difficult for me and my family as in my niaevity (sic) with the online world I bumbled into this situation. Not everyone is out to rip off Apple - one of the worlds richest corporations- or the entertainers who market their work through iTunes.I would just like to be able to enjoy the entertainment I pay for where and when I like to on whichever computer is available to me. And I'm not terribly computer literate.
It would have been nice to have had the opportunity to speak just once to a real person in the employ of Apple to explain my situation to them.

HT1386 Can I move music from one apple account to another?

Can I move music from one apple account to another?

Typically not. Consider the case where you used an Apple account (call it A1) to purchase songs from iTunes. Now you are interested in moving your music to account A2. Well A2 does not own the music - A1 does. So that's a problem.

Thanks. He is a bit too young for a credit card, but the gift card would have been a good idea. Unfortunately, what's done is done. Thanks for your reply.

Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
4. sync your device
5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
Delmar,
The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

HT2736 How can I transfer a gift balance from one apple id to another?

I have changed iphones and created a new apple ID. How can I transfer a gift card balance from one apple ID to another. I tried using Itune Gift but it requires the use of a credit card not a gift card. Any ideas?

You can't currently transfer an account's balance from one account to another, nor can you use it to gift content. You shoudl be able to use your old account on your new phone, it's generally best just to have the one iTunes account
