You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

  • HT203163 I recently had to replace my laptop and now when I try and sync my phone to my laptop I am asked to authorise the laptop, but after I enter my login and password, the search for itunes fails with a message that itunes is not currently available

    I recently had to replace my laptop and now I can't sync iTunes and my phone - the message is that the laptop is not authorised and when I try and authorise it it says that the itunes store is currently unavailable - but it is available on my phone, and I have been trying for over 24hrs - it should be available by now.
    I have checked my firewall settings and they are ok
    How can I remove old PC's that I no longer use and make sure that this is the only computer that is authorised for my account - and how can I access the iTunes store so that I can authorise it?
    Help please

    i had to format my laptop
    You can reinstall Lion (Mac OS X) by pressing Command + R while booting your Mac. No need to re download Lion again.

  • Itunes 10.6 and 10.7 crash after installing icloud control panel

    I recently upgraded itunes 10.6 to 10.7 on my windows home server 2011 computer and also installed iCloud control panel 2.0.  After the upgrade itunes crashes within a few seconds of starting.  I can see the status bar saying that itunes is accessing the store and then the itunes window goes away.  I tried removing the icloud control panel, but itunes still crashes.  I completely removed itunes and all related components and then reinstalled 10.6.  At this point itunes works again so I tried reinstalling the iCloud control panel and not upgrading itunes, but itunes again crashes.  So, it seems that regardless of the itunes version I can't run itunes and iCloud on windows home server 2011.  Any ideas on a solution?

    An update to my earlier post.  I just upgraded to itunes 10.7 and icontrol panel 2.0 again, but before upgrading I turned off automatic downloads in the store preferences.  I was able to launch itunes and even click on the store without itunes crashing until I launched the icloud control panel and logged in.  Now if I click on the store in itunes it crashes.  I tried logging out of icloud, but it still crashes, but only when i click on the itunes store.  The error I see in windows event viewer is below.  I've seen this error referenced in other posts, but have not found a solution yet.  At least itunes is partially functional now.

  • Cannot install ICloud Control Panel to Laptop using Windows 8

    I cannot install the ICloud Control Panel on our Laptop.
    Tried several times to install but get an error code at the
    very end of the install. Not sure why.
    Installed perfectly on another PC.

    I have the same issue on my new laptop running Windows 8.1. When trying to install iCloud Control Panel 3.1 it stops at 'Updating component registration' and displays the alert 'the process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file'.  Can anyone help?

  • I install iCloud Control Panel it says Application not found

    I've installed iCloud Control Panel off every browser. Every time it shows up in the Control Panel with no logo in the icon. When I click it says "application not found". When I go to Control Panel/Networking and Sharing I get the same results.
    I have no iCloud icon in iTunes either. Just iCloud Match. However before I found out my iCloud Control Panel wasn't working I seemed to be able to upload my music from my PC (windows 7 64) iTunes. I know because they showed up on my iPad. But then I have another problem. I can't set the ipad to download them all at once. I'm doing it one at a time and then it freezes. One at a time for over 3000 songs *****!
    So how does this work? I have been searching the internet and forum for hours with no results. I see many ppl having the same problem but in the forum THERE ARE NO REPLIES ON ANY POSTS. Not even ones posted in 2011. Does any administrator read this stuff?

    This is an Apple user to user forum, so the answer to your question is no, however as you are having a Windows issue it might help ypu to post in the Microsoft forums in addition to posting here.
    Beyond that do the usual Windows things (start in safe mode etc) to troubleshoot.

  • I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

    I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

    You can not create an iCloud account using a PC, set the account up on a Mac or an iPhone/iPad, then you will be able to sign into it on your PC.

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files.

    I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times Since upgrading to iTunes 11 and Windows 8. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files. Three times. Beginning to lose my temper. Advice? Suggestions? Could the fact that my original library is located on a network drive have anything to do with it? Thanks for your help, all.

    Repair security permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7/8 shouldn't be too different.
    Repeat for the media folder if it isn't a subfolder of the iTunes folder.
