Hi All,

So my Mum and Dad both have iphones. When I set them up I just used my apple ID/ iTunes account.

They are about also to get iPads as well. And I think it would be easier if they were to have their own accounts/ shared account.

So my question is: How do I go about setting up an account for them without wiping their iPhones of contacts, apps(less important) etc?
 
Oh, right, I thought that it was more complex than that.

I thought that would cause problems when plugging in to their PC for backups etc? and that their contacts are linked to the account?
 
Contacts will be probably be linked to the iCloud - Doesn't that mean that they have your contacts on their iPhones?

Unless you've turned Contacts off under iCloud?

Yep, the only thing that is on in iCloud is find my iphone.

So all I need to do is change the account that they use, and then re-download their apps?
