I used my sons Apple ID and password when setting up my iPhone 4s. It now says that i do not have enough storage available to back up my phone. How can i set up my own account without losing any data?

Hey e.cliff,
Thanks for the question. When you sign out of your son’s iCloud account you will be prompted to keep or delete the data on your phone. After you elect to keep the data on your device, you can setup your own iCloud account and the data will be merged/uploaded to your new account:

As always, it is a good idea to backup your device before attempting these steps:
