Why I see this message ''The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPad'' when I want to set up my account on iCloud?
When I try to sign in with my Apple ID (that I use with AppStore) to iCloud on my iPad2,
I see this message:
''The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPad''.
So what shall I do?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile 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.

HT204053 the maXIMUM NUMBER OF FREE accts have been activated on this iphone
what does it mean when it says the max nbr of free accts have been activated in this iphone when trying to log into icloud
Any one device can create only 3 separate iCloud accounts. This is tied to the device itself, not any user accounts. Once you have reached this limit you can only create another account by using another device - once that is done you can sign into the new account on the original device.
Why have you been creating these accounts - is it deliberate? I just wondered whether you were doing this by accident when trying to sign in.
If you sign in with an ID which has already been used to create an iCloud account you will be signed into that account. If you try to sign in with an ID which has not been used to create an iCloud account then a new one will be created (up to the limit of three). -
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. -
"maximum number of free acounts have been activated on this iphone"-this is my problem when i attempt to sign in
please tell me how to over this problemApple limits every phone to only three icloud accounts allowed for creation. You can create account on other device and then use it on the phone. Otherwise there is nothing that I can suggest, short of selling that phone as without icloud, phone is devalued to extent.

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.

I can't get into icloud. Get this message:" the maximum number of free accounts have been activated in this iphone". thanks for your help
Create the account on your computer or other Apple device. Once the account
has been created elsewhere, you will be able to use it on your iPhone. -
I keep getting this message " the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPad " what does that mean and how can I fix it
It's a really bad idea to post your iPhone's serial number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts. As you have apparently already created three accounts (or if it's a used phone the previous owner did) you cannot create any more one it. This is tied to the hardware, not the account, and there is no way round it.
You can create a new iCloud account on another iOS device or on a Mac, and then you will be able to sign into that on your 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. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks
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 tried to set up icloud on my iphone 4 and I get this message that "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone". My iphone was used by someone else before I got it. How do I deactivate these accounts or overcome this problem?
You were trying to create a new Apple ID for icloud. But once the device reaches is max allowed to create IDs then you can't create more. That's your situation now. To create a new account you must use another device or computer.
You can't deactivate or turn back the clock. -
Hello,
Is it possible to delete the existing account of my Iphone 4s? How?
It always displays the message " The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone"
everytime i attempt to LOG-IN in Icloud.Each iOS device can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts.
You will need to create your iCloud account on another device. -
Why am i having this problem on icloud "the maximum number of free account have been activated on this ipad"
Judging from other posts it looks like there is a maximum of 3 accounts that can be created on a device - you could either re-use one of the accounts that you've already created or create a new one on a different device or computer

I have an apple id but when i want regester with icloud on my iphone I get the message "THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FREE ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED ON THIS IPHONE."
On the web of icloud when i try to sign in with apple ID i get the Message "THIS APPLE ID IS VALID BUT IS NOT AN ICLOUD ACCOUNT"
Hence i cant create Icloud account.
please let me know how i can resolve the above mentioned issue
Thanks.Apple limits iOS devices to three free iCloud accounts, & once that limit is reached on an iOS device you can no longer create a new account on that device. The solution is to create the account on a computer or another iOS device, then set that account up on your present iOS device.
