This device isn't eligible for creating a free iCloud account
Hi. My dad bought an used iPhone 4S 16GB yesterday. I tried to setup an iCloud account for him but I got error saying: this device isn't eligible for creating a free icloud account. I want to set it up and can someone help me please? I really need it. Thank you!
I have already created an Apple ID for the iCloud and I'm trying to sign in from the phone in the iCloud menu. It says this device isn't eligible for creating a free icloud account.

I got this iPad as an open box deal on bestbuy, it says the device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account. How do I fix this?
You cannot fix it. Nobody can. There is a limit to how many free iCloud accounts that can be created on one iOS device and the limit is three. Obviously, this device reached that limit which means that this open box iPad was most likely owned by someone else or customers that used theiPad in the store got cute and created iCloud accounts on it and then deleted them.
So that's why deggie is recommending that you return the iPad to Best Buy and get your money back. You bought a device that should have never been sold to you. -
"this device is no longer eligible for creating a free icloud account" what that mean and how to resolve this problem
Guess we're stucked and live with it. I hate this policy of limiting accounts to use on a device but the good thing is I just logged in using my account and asked my daughter what are the apps and music she wanted to download on the device. After we load everything she needs, I just deleted my account in the device and disassociated it from my iCloud account. It's still works as intended but the only caveat is she cannot use the find my ipad application.

Can't create apple id this device is no longer eligible FOR CREATING A FREE ICLOUD ACCOUNT
I am not able to create a new i cloud apple id apple phone showing this error (can't create apple id this device is no longer eligible FOR CREATING A FREE ICLOUD ACCOUNT). So i requested please help us.
Thanks
Sudhir SainiAny one device can create only three iCloud accounts; if your phone has already created three then it can never create any more - this is tied to the hardware, not the user account. You can create an iCloud account on another iOS device or a Mac and then you will be able to sign into that on your phone.

MahfoozI had the same issue on my iPod touch 4th Gen, I noticed the issue after updating the device to 6.1.5. I dont know what device or IOS your running but if it is similar then I think this ma be the cause. My solution to you is to create a free apple ID on their website, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId. Hope this helped and good luck!

Hi, i am not able to get a Free icloud ID. Error is my device is not eligible for creating new free icloud ID. What do i do to create new one
Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.

This device is no longer eligible for creating a free icloud account
After using it for a while an iPad 2 that was given to me by my Boss, I restored this iPad and gave it to my daughter. She encountered the error above during her set-up while creating her own iCloud account to the iPad. What shall we do?

I have an iPhone 4S and it has been stuck in recovery mode for whatever reason. I have tried using data recovery software that can turn my phone to normal mode but when it tries all my phone does in turn off and then on again, back into recovery mode. I can't use iTunes to recover my phone because it won't let me do it without updating and recovering the iPhone. When I do this it gives me the error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Is there any other way I can restore my phone from backup without getting this error?https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?facet=content&type=discussion&sort=rel evanceDesc&showAnsweredFirst=true&q=This…

"this device isn't eligible for the requested build."
I've just changed carrier and got a new sim card. My iphone 3gs will not work with my new sim because it is locked to my old carrier. I called my old carrier and they removed the lock from the phone and said all i had to do now was restore the phone and i'm good to go. I know the sim is not faulty because it works fine in my old iphone 3 which i am stuck using at the moment.
When i try to restore my 3gs i get the error message: "...this device isn't eligible for the requested build."
I've never had a problem before restoring an iphone, what gives? how do i fix this?
thanks!!Can you get a Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone?
I got an Internet connection on my phone, went to SETTINGS --> GENERAL --> SOFTWARE UPDATE and updated my Software wirelessly (no iTunes involved).
When I connected my phone to my Computer again and iTunes popped up, it showed that my iPhone software was up to date. Then I could restore to an old back-up. -

Hi
I've been trying to uodate my iPhone to iOS5 since last night. Initially, I kept getting the "Internal Error" messages since I'm assuming that the server was busy. A little later, that changed to the "Server is unavailable" messages. Which is when I gave up trying yesterday.
I've now resumed my efforts since today morning & I've started getting a different message: "The iPhone could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I have no idea why this is happening. I've updated my iTunes & OSX Lion to the newest versions.
Any help would be appreciated.
iPhone 4 (OS 4.3.5 8L1)
OSX Lion (10.7.2)
iTunes 10.5 (141)
Thanks.
dOK so problem solved. Turns out that I had used Tiny Umbrella last night to kick the phone out of recovery mode when it got stuck during one of the attempted upgrades. And I forgot to uncheck the "set host to Cydia" option before quitting.
All done. iOS5 is here! -
