Q: My 3 apple devices share the same icloud storage sate them now?

My 3 apple devices share the same Icloud storage space and I am running out of free space. How do separate them and get individual accounts for each device?

    You would need to create new Apple IDs for each one and new iTunes accounts as well. And, you would need to have one user account on the computer for each device. You cannot share the same iTunes account.

    You only need create two new accounts. Your device is already associated with your account so this in no way affects your stuff.

     

    On a Mac you create user accounts in either the Accounts or Users & Groups preferences depending on which version of OS X you are using.

    What is that you taking you iCloud storage? Maybe you have to manage your storage (empty your Camera Roll for example) and not mess around with multile iCloud accounts.
