I have two iPhones both of which are set up with the same Apple ID. How can I set up separate icloud accounts for each phone? My phone has same email for Apple ID and icloud account. I wants wife's phone to have icloud set up with her own email account. Right now her phone keeps automatically reverting to my email address for icloud.
iPhone 5, iOS 7
I have same problem, two phones that have same ID + password for iCloud & AppStore. Need to separate them, so each has his own iCloud and access to the store. HOW to do without loosing contacts pictures etc ?
Please detailed steps, as all data is important for each. Thanks in advance

I am NOT looking for "family sharing", on the contrary - I look for separating completely 2 iPhones, giving each a separate ID & password (to iCloud & App Store).
Can I please have detailed explanation for the process, not loosing contacts and photos, and how to create new IDs & passwords ?
Do I need to do a backup on both phones first ?
I know its complicated, but I need this done soonest (It was done by an ignorant seller...)
Appreciate any help soon
How do i do this with IOS 10.3? My husband and I keep getting each others calls so we were trying to get him on his own Apple ID and but keep everything thats on his phone now. Can we do that?
You're looking for Family Sharing. It allows you to do exactly what you're talking about. You each have your separate accounts and then share all purchased apps among other benefits.
Q:Two iPhones with same Apple ID and want two separate icloud accounts.
I have two iPhones both of which are set up with the same Apple ID. How can I set up separate icloud accounts for each phone? My phone has same email for Apple ID and icloud account. I wants wife's phone to have icloud set up with her own email account. Right now her phone keeps automatically reverting to my email address for icloud.
iPhone 5S, iPhone 7,
Thanks! We would like to keep the same Apple ID so we can share purchases. Is there anyway to share the same Apple ID AND have separate icloud accounts? From what you said it Sounds like she has to set up her own Apple ID. Is that the only way?
You can export contacts and calendar in iCloud.
iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard
The person retaining the account can then share photos and such. It's going to take some work to separate everything.
Without a Mac, it will be more challenging.
Can't provide step by step details for you. You will need to export all the content you want to split up somewhere off your phones.
Then import back to each of your phones.
Without knowing what apps you may have on your Windows PC, I don't know how to guide you.
You can start here >> Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support
You may want consider offering to pay someone in your area to help you with this.
Would you need to create the new Apple ID before this migration from the phone ??

I am NOT looking for "family sharing", on the contrary - I look for separating completely 2 iPhones 6 , giving each a separate ID & password (to iCloud & App Store).

So it sounds like you have intermingled photos and contact data on 2 phones and want to separate them.
There is no automatic process for this. And easy is not the same as simple. I will say it's simple, but not easy. IMO, backups will not be the way to go.
Do you have a Mac available to help with this?
If so, I believe one "best" way is to move all the data you want to separate on to your Mac. Then use the Mac's apps and tools for Contacts and Photos to export phone A's content separately to phone A and phone B's content to phone B.
Manually is the way to go.
iCloud is on any computer, also PC, as well as iCloud Drive.
Will a backup of each phone to the cloud, then do a reset on both, then create new separate IDs & passwords ?
Will this work and not cause loosing all contacts & pictures ???
You haven't really provided enough detail to answer this. Providing more detail would help. Right now I continue to make guesses as to what you need and want to do.
I have assumed a while ago that you have 2 phones with identical photos and contacts on each phone and that they using the same Apple ID.
Is that correct?
If so, backing each up will simply reproduce the content on each when you restore. Getting you right back to where you are right now.
Using iCloud for backups ties the backup to an Apple ID, so you can't back up John's phone and restore it to Mary's. Even if you removed some of the content and then backed up, you can't sign out of iCloud to do th "other" backup without removing all of the content.
It needs to be done manually.
When you back up a phone using either iCloud or iTunes, the backup is a closed file, and you can't go in and remove content from it before restoring.
I think I have... I repeat:
No MAC only PC that can sign in into any cloud.
2 iPhone 6, two people with different needs of contacts & pictures unfortunately have same ID & pass for the cloud and store.
Now want to separate - each to have his own ID&password to the cloud & store. Then, each wants to have only HIS contacts and pictures.
Two iPhones with same Apple ID and want two separate icloud accounts.
