Using iCloud with iPhone

I am having a hard time with space on my phone and needing to know if I am able to move apps to my iCloud so that I have memory freeded up to install the new system update.

This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones.  When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account.  To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else 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. 
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 to create one).  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.
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 the other your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
You also should avoid using the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  If you are, on one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and to Settings FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.

  • How to use icloud with iphone

    I am very confused on how to sync or use my cloud on my Mac with my new IPhone 5S.  I have all the settings on the phone correct.  On the Mac, under Preferences, there is no "cloud" item for me to choose to set up, only mobile me and I get error if clicking it.  I do have a cloud "folder" listed on the sidebar menu under Finder along with Desktop, Our Name, Applications, Cloud Drive, Documents.  However, there is nothing in the cloud and I have my phone set to upload everything.
    I've even looked in IPhoto and there is only a mobile me icon, which does nothing if I click it.  I don't see a way to upload pictures.
    I also have a symbol that looks like a cloud across the top menu where the volume button is, but it doesn't do anything if you try to click it.
    I just purchased my IPhone and would like to share my pictures on my Mac.  How can I do this?  Thank you so much for any help you can share.
    I also believe it is the same Apple ID account for both.  I input the information in my phone to set it up.

    Here lies your issue... OS X 10.6.8 = Snow leopard is too Old for iCloud.
    However... you can access iCloud.com using Safari in Snow Leopard.

  • How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • HT4864 I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

    I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

    Forwarding email from comcast to icloud is different than icloud managing comcast email.  One disadvantage of forwarding is that when you respond to an email originally sent to the comcast address and forwarded to icloud, your reply will have the icloud address as the source, not your comcast.  That is a problem for many users.
    If your comcast account is IMAP, then there's no reason to forward.  Just define two accounts in your mail app, one for comcast and one for icloud.  Once done, you don't have to worry about dealing with two services, it's all done in a unified way.
    And.... you are not talking to Apple here, we're just users like you.  Apple doesn't participate in these forums.

  • HT4759 Using ICloud with my MacBook Pro

    Am I unable to use ICloud with my new IPhone5 if my MacBook Pro is OSX version 10.6.8 and if so, does it cost money to update my computer or are there free downloads I can do?

    Below are the minimum system requirements for iCloud:
    Minimum operating system requirements
    You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    iOS 5*
    Mac
    OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
    PC
    Microsoft Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
    * Note: Although you can use iOS 5 and OS X Lion as noted above, you will not be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts.
    The above is from: iCloud: System requirements
    For all features you'll need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.

  • Using Icloud with Outlook 2007 and windows 7, I cannot get my calendar to list the scheduled appointments as it used to do before I cloud.  The to do bar just shows no upcoming appointments when my calendar is filled with them.  How do I fix this

    Since using ICloud with Office 2007 and Windows 7, the to-do-list will not show any appointments.  If has the notation that no appointments are available?  My calendar is full of appointments.  How do I correct this?

    I don't have a password on my phone. After attaching the phone to the Windows 7 computer, my DCIM folder is always empty. Here's the solution:  While the phone is plugged in to the computer, pick it up and select the Photos application. A dialog box appears and asks if you trust this computer. Obviously, select the "Trust" option. Then the photos will download. If you have a password on your phone, I'm guessing you have to enter it before you open the photo application.

  • I am using iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2 but can not use iCloud with it. I've looked for updates in iPhoto and iLife'11 but no luck. Suggestions very welcome.

    No you won't necessarily lose your photos when upgrading but it's very very unwise not to back up first. Backing up is like using a seat belt in a car. You can drive without one for years and have no issues, but if you do have a problem the outcome will be a lot worse. So, too, with back ups. And upgrading is one of those times when the risks of a problem are higher.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
