Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone. If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts). To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account. Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device. Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

I receive a " the maximum number of free account have been activated on this iPhone " when I want to sign in iCloud with my Apple ID on my iphone..please someone help me..
Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts: this is tied to the hardware, not the user account, and there is no way round this.
You will have to create an iCloud account on another iOS device or Mac, then you can sign into it on your iPhone. -
when i want to set up icloud on my iphone, it tells "can not sign in maximum number of free acounts have been activated on this iphone" what can i do now?!
You won't be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone as the maximum number of accouts have already been created. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

HT204053 The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone
I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup.
The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.
I have downloaded the Where is my iPhone App to help us locate it in the event I lose it.
My Wife has an iPad3 and has the where is my iPad app.
We have a friend that someone stole her iPad 2 and this is why are chose to use iCloud.
Please let me know the fix.Each device can only set up a limited number of iCloud accounts. Once this maximum number is reached all you can do is re-use one of the accounts previously set up or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac. If you wife has an iPad 3, it may be possible to create another iCloud account on her iPad to use on your phone.
To do this, on her iPad go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account, choose iCloud from the list, then enter the Apple ID and password you want to use for your iCloud account and sign in. Do not turn on any data syncing or her data will be uploade to the new account. After setting up the new account, you go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap the name of the new account then tap Delete Account to delete it from her iPad (it will remain in iCloud). You can then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and enter the ID and password to sign into the new account on your phone. Then turn iCloud data syncing for Contacts, Calendars, etc., to On, and when prompted choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. -
Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone
hi
i am getting an error while connecting to icloud on my new iphone 4
Error :" The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone "
plz help me with a solutionWelcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer. -
what dose it mean and i need a solution " the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone "
There is no way to circumvent the three free iCloud account limit on an iOS device. You'll have to create the iCloud account on your computer, then setup that account on your phone, or do the same on another iOS device.

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one. -
Hi , I have recently bought an second hand iPhone 4 , Now most of the thing on the iPhone you need iCloud ,i try logging on to it but when i do it say The maximum number of free account have been activated on this iPhone, i don't know what to do. Help
When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway. -

Hii,, i will not open my iCloud.its showing me:the maximum numbers of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone,what should I do
Yes, you can do that. Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete (if it's currently logged into some other account). Then sign in using you ID. Somehow, what you were doing before ended up trying to create a new account/ID. That you can't do more than five times.
