Just installed I-Cloud. When I try to sign in I get Apple ID is valid but not an I-Cloud account? Going around in circles as usual with no result. Can anyone advise? Much appreciated.

Hi. I just installed I-cloud on my HP Notebook running Windows 7 and the latest I-tunes. I noticed a previous purchase of a song has somehow disappeard and the verbiage makes it sound like I can re-download it. There's no I-cloud icon on that page so I installed the I-cloud package for the PC. When I try to sign in I get a message saying that I'm using a valid Apple ID but it is not an I-cloud account. Instructions keep returning me to the same dead ends where there seems to be no provision for me to establish myself and/or my PC as an I-Cloud account. Any advice? Thanks in advance. Jim

You can't create a new account using a PC. Create the account on an Apple device (Mac, iPhone etc) and then sign in on the PC.

When I try to long into Icloud my Apple ID is valid but not for ICloud account, how do I set up my account if I cannot sign in?

How do I set up my ICloud account when my Apple ID is not set up for ICloud?

You have to first create your account on an Apple device. You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID. You can only sign into an existing iCloud account on a PC. You first have to create your iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

I downloaded and installed I Cloud but cant get to the I Cloud cintrol panel. When i sign in it saya apple id is valid but is not an I Cloud acct.

when i sign in it says apple id is valid but is not an I Cloud account. How do i get to the control pqnel.

I'm afraid that's correct. iCloud is a free service basicallly intended to allow Macs and iOS devices to sync data between them; the Windows Control Panel is available so that Mac/iOS owners who also have Windows can sync their data; it's not intended for Windows only owners - there are other syncing services you can use as an alternative.

Music purchased from the iTunes Store is automatically available in iCloud. This is "iTunes in the Cloud" and does not require an iCloud account. The music is stored in the iTunes Store, not in a personal iCloud account.
If you don't have any Apple devices you will not be able to create an account. It wouldn't be any value to you anyway as it syncs data on you computer with your Apple devices. If you don't have any, there is nothing to sync.

When I try to save, I keep getting the message "The document could not be saved. You don't have permission" - even though I am the Administrator and the Get Info displays "Administrator and (me)".

When I try to save, I keep getting the message "The document could not be saved. You don't have permission" - even though I am the Administrator and the Get Info displays "Administrator" and my_name(me)". Also, when I do a disk permission repair, it always repairs the same applications and files. Last night, I did a disk permission repair twice and both times it took a long time and did the exact same repair both times.

Disk Utility won't repair your home folder. Sounds like your home folder permissions are messed up tho. Try repairing them this way by using Lion Recovery.
1. Restart Lion, and before you hear the chime, hold down the Command and R keys.
2. You’ll be at the Repair Utilities screen. Click the Utilities item in the Menu Bar, then click Terminal.
3. In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
4. The password reset utility window launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account where you’re having issues.
5. At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes just a couple of minutes. When it’s done, exit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac.
Good luck

Hi reswaikiki,
Usually if it says your Apple ID is not an iCloud account, that means you have not yet enabled your Apple ID as an iCloud account. So you did set it up correctly on your iPod touch?
If not yet, please see Set up iCloud on all your devices.

Welcome to the Apple community.
These types of messages often indicate a problem with the devices serial number, have you had your phone repaired at any stage or did you buy it second-hand.
