We've two iPad 2 (one is mine and the other is my mom's) backing-up with the same iCloud account, but my mom thinks she needs her own account.
Is there a way to change the account an iPad 2 uses to back-up without having to do a complete restore?

The problem is that I'm having trouble backing-up that iPad 2 using iTunes.

If you are using the same iCloud account, then I assume you are using the same AppleID?

Try creating a new AppleID for one of the iPads, sign out in settings and delete the iCloud account. Then sign in with the new AppleID and set up another iCloud account.

I just received a new iPad for work and I want to set it up with a new secondary iTunes account- however I would like to transfer some purchases from my primary iTunes account. Is that possible?
