How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
iCloud then three options
set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly.  So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though .  Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar.  Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend.  The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking).  Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem.  I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

  • How can I access my iCloud account from my computer, when I'm running OSX Leopard?

    I have a Mac Book running Leopard and I don't have the iCloud icon in my settings.. How can I access my iCloud account/back up my computer to the cloud?

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 which is Snow Leopard, but that is still not compatible with iCloud. You cannot back up your computer to iCloud in any case - it doesn't provide for that, only for iOS backups.
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    If you have already set up an iCloud account on another Mac or device you can make limited use of it with Snow Leopard - details here.
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    (If in fact you are running Leopard and it is an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.)

    Thanks for replying. The plan you have it would be an additional charge to add the hotspot feature. It's not free with the Nationwide plan. You would need to add the feature online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon

  • HT4847 How can I access my ICloud account to clean it up

    How can I enter my Icloud account ?

    On a computer browser, log into icloud.com using your ID and password.  Or perhaps you mean that you want to enter an ID on your device to access icloud.  If so, go to Settings>icloud and log in.

  • HT4061 I can't access my icloud account and the verification will not come through because of that and I can't remember the password

    I can't access my icloud account and have tried everything,

    I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
    I had the same exact problem. I had my old apple ID connected to a school email which did not exist anymore. My ipad (ICloud) was prompting me to put the password in for that ID and I could not delete it from my ipad because the "Find My Ipad" was turned on, once again prompting for password. I called apple and they said this Apple no longer exists and is not in there system, which I knew already. After hours on the phone nobody could help me. Try this.
    -Go to create a new Apple ID and use the same email address as the old apple ID which is locked in on your ipad
    -Create a new password and all that, it will say it send a verification link to your email, in my case my email no longer exists so I could not do this
    - I called Apple to explain this problem and I asked if they could verify it for me, which they did after I convinced them it was worth a try. The guy told me that the verification shouldnt matter and should still be able to login but he did it anyway. You can try skipping this step but if it doesn't work then go ahead.
    -Go to ICloud and click on your account, the email should be grayed out but it should allow you to change that password, put in the new password which you just created.
    -This allowed me to sign in to accept the new terms and conditions but it said "unable to conncet to server" so I just backed out and went to "Delete Account" and it worked!
    The whole idea is to re-create your old apple ID into Apple's system and then use that new password. The guy at Apple said tons of people called about this problem and nobody could solve it. I thanked him for helping me and he thanked me for helping him. I hope this helps you!

  • I can't access my iCloud account. The username is an email address that's now inactive. I can't reset my password.

    I need help accessing my iCloud account. The username on file for that account is an old e-mail address of mine that is no longer active. Therefore, I can't even reset my password (because the "password reset" email would go to that old address). Can someone please help me? Thank you!

    Hey there timosurf1,
    It sounds like you have done the Password reset process but are not getting the email. If you have already checked your SPAM folder in your email account, you may want to contact our iTunes Account Security team directly if you can verify your information:
    Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • IOS iCloud access is a real flaw. There should be a way to access my iCloud stuff on the web from my portables

    iOS iCloud access is a real flaw. There should be a way ic an use my mobile devices to access my iCloud content on the web. The push probably works if you are on a fits network, but ia m in a rural community and use my iPad as a laptop when I am working .Apple please fix this. It is unnecessary.
    I miss steve. He was such a fascist for good design

    What iCloud content are you trying to access that is not already on the iPad? Maybe I am misunderstanding your statement, but all of your iCloud content is already on the iPad. Why do you need to access your iCloud.com account on the web?

  • How can I access my iCloud  account?

    But, yes, I believe selenafromshezhen is shilling for that company.

  • How can i split up icloud account. its the same for my wife and i but i would like 2 separate accounts. we both have iphone 4

    my wife and i both have iphone 4. they were set up with 1 icloud account. we now both have separate apple id's. I would like to set up a different icloud account on my phone with my apple id and password separate from my wife.

    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, you'll also have to email your notes to yourself so they can be recreated in the new account as they cannot be migrated.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

  • How can I put two icloud accounts in the same pc?

    Hallo, I have two icloud accounts, one for me and another for my wife, and I would like to put the two accounts in the same pc, because I want to share all the photos of the two accounts with the pc automatically, but I do not know how to do this. The icloud panel only let me to put one account, and if I want to put another account I have to put out before the first account.

    I found some clues last week in these linkes.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=657406&tstart=150
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html#java
    Which has the contents like the below:
    Example:
    Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
    Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
    Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
    Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
    If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
    Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
    Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
    I tried the method of change the control panel but they did not work either.
    Any other helps?
    Thanks in advantage.

  • How can I access my ICloud history?

    How can I access my iCloud account history?

    I don't know what you mean by your iCloud history, but you cannot log into iCloud and see apps, videos, movies at anything of that nature. iCloud is a backup that stores your purchased app, songs, movies, TV shows, books, app data, etc. when you restore from an iCloud backup, you restore those items back to your iPad - assuming that you are backing up with iCloud.
    If you want to see your iCloud "history" look in the purchased tabs of all of the stores, look at all of the content that you have on the iPad (content that is not synced from iTunes) and that is essentially your iCloud "history".
    Exactly what is it that you want to see?

  • How can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

    how can i delete an icloud account with out password or access to old email

    If the old ID ("email address) is yours, and is an ealier version of your current iCloud ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
