Are you sure you have used 4,22 GB and don't have 4.22 GB left.
I've prepared the following for you, but perhaps you can hold up with the calendar part until I get some more info about busy cal. You might also check iCloud.com to see if BusyCal has populated iCloud.
I'm actually preparing a user tip in conjunction with helping you on this one, I'll post the whole lot, I know some of it you have already done, but if you could let me know what you think.
You'll note that you need to substitute family for original@icloud.com and JC for new@icloud.com.
I've marked where you are up to.
Also could you hold off with the moving mobile only documents back to the mobile document folder and let me know when you are there and how everything has gone.
START
This tip is aimed at those who have an existing iCloud account and wish to move everything to a new account. It is not aimed at those simply wishing to change the email address or password on an account.
The fist thing to do is to save any data that won't be accessible once the procedure has been commenced. This is essentially Photo's from Photo Stream and Documents and Data.
Starting with Photostream.
Open iPhoto (or Aperture) and check that all the photos that you have in your Photo Stream feed have been imported into your Library. A simple way to check this is to open your Photo Stream feed, select the first photo and shift-click the last one to select them all. Ctrl-click any of the selected photos, if you are offered the option to "import" then not all your Photo Stream Photos are in your library, if you are offered the option to "show in library" they are. Import any photos you need to at this point.
If you have created any shared Photo Stream albums, you should turn them into iPhoto (Aperture) albums, to avoid having to remember what is in them when you recreate them, unfortunately you will lose any comments you have during this process. You may also wish to create an album of the My Photo Stream photos for the same reason.
The next thing to do is to save your iCloud documents.
iCloud documents here should be considered as being in two distinct groups, the first is documents that are used by applications on your Mac, the second those that aren't (in other words, those that are used by mobile devices only). By looking at the second group first, you can see any documents in the first group that you may otherwise overlook.
To do this you need to look inside your user library. The user library is normally hidden and this is for good reason, you should avoid fiddling in this folder and ensure you only do as suggested below. To access your library folder, make sure the Finder is active and select the "Go" menu, while the "Go" menu is visable hold down the "alt' key on your keyboard, the "Library" folder should be revealed.
Once you select the "Library" folder from the "Go" menu, a Finder window will open similar to the one below.
You should now navigate to the "Mobile Documents" Folder.
The next step is to determine which folders hold documents that are on your Mac and which hold documents on your mobile devices only. You should however ignore the following folders.
com~apple~mail
com~apple~Notes
com~apple~shoebox
com~apple~system~spotlight
com~apple~TextInput
In the screenshot above, (4R6749AYRE~com~pixelmatorteam~pixelmator), (com~apple~Keynote), (com~apple~Numbers), (com~apple~Pages), (com~apple~Preview) and (com~apple~TextEdit) all contain documents from the Mac and will be saved differently. With the exception of "My-Air-Docs", the remainder of these folders contain documents only found on your mobile devices.
(Ignore the "My-Air-Docs" folder, you probably don't have it on your Mac and if you do, you will know what it is for and what to do with it)
Mobile only iCloud documents.
- Highjlight the first folder (8AQU446WU2~com~eurosmartz~mobile~printcentral in the example screenshot).
- Hold down the "alt" key and drag the folder to the desktop.
- This should copy the folder not move it
- Repeat for each Mobile only folder.
You may want to put all these folders into a single new folder named appropriately (i.e. Mobile Documents in transit) for tidyness.iCloud documents from your Mac.
- Launch the application that relates to the first folder that contains documents from the cloud (Pixelmator in the example screenshot).
- The iCloud window for this application should now open.
- If not choose File > Open.
- Create a folder on your desktop and name it appropriately (i.e. pixelmator).
- Drag the documents from the iCloud window to this folder.

- Repeat for each Application identified as having iCloud documents on your Mac
You may want to put all these folders into a single new folder named appropriately (i.e. Mac Documents in transit) for tidyness.Changing accounts.For the sake of maintaining a clear nomenclature, the original account (the one you are currently logged into) will be referred to as original@icloud.com and the new account (or the one you are going to move to will be reffered to as new@icloud.com.
