Can i create an icloud account on my pc

I have no Apple devices.The only Apple products I use are iTunes and QuickTime Player.  I use SkyDrive as my cloud between my Windows 7 PC and my Android device.  I have an Apple ID account beecause I use iTunes.  There is a photography site I want to visit, but I need to sign-in with my AppleID and Password.  I typed in my AppleID and Password and received a message that my AppleID is valid, but it is not an iCloud Account.  I need to create an iCloud Account.  I tried that, but it won't let me because I don't have an Apple device.  But the iCloud is supposed to work on a PC.  But I can't use it unless I have an Apple device.  So I am going around and around in a loop, trying to get a simple ID so that I can view some photographs.
I've always been told how far superior Apple products are to PC products.  SkyDrive practially installed itself.  iCloud has me running in this endless loop of installing the software and not being able to sign up for the service.  Doesn't sound too superior to me.
My question is two-part:
It is possible to set up an iCloud Account with a Windows 7 PC?
No.  Thank you very much.
Yes.  Please provide instructions.

Bummer!  Do you suppose I can go to an Apple store and use one of their devices to create the account?  Given all the good things I've been told about Apple, I would think they wouldn't have this Apple-Device-Only restriction on a product which can be used on a PC.
Thank you Csound1 for your answer. I appreciate it.

    There is nothing stopping you doing so, but you won't be able to sync anything between them.

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for responding and answering my question. If we decided to use my wife's icloud account as our primary, is there a way to "not sync" the incoming email with her iphone and ipad? That would simplify things greatly because she doesn't read any of her email on her iphone or ipad.
    If you don't want to sync the iCloud email account on her devices, all you would need to do is go to Settings>iCloud on her devices and turn Mail off.  This would remove the email account from her devices but would leave any other iCloud syncing services that you want to use with the account in place.

    How can I create a il=cloud account if i don"t have and IOS device. How does that actually work???

    You can only create an iCloud account on a device with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion.
    The whole point of iCloud is to sync your iOS devices with your computer...

    Are you sure the message isn't saying that the maximum number of accounts have already been created?  When you get this message you will not be able to create another account on that device.  Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

  • How can I create my icloud account

    How can I create my icloud account?.

    Hey there!
    It sounds like you are wanting to create an iCloud account. Take a look at this info from the following article:
    How do I sign up for iCloud?
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
    You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.

  • I have only 1 ipad device, can I create 2 icloud accounts for the same ipad?

    I have only 1 ipad device, can I create 2 icloud accounts for the same ipad?

    Of course.
    To create the first iCloud account, open Settings > iCloud, type your Apple ID and follow the steps to set up iCloud.
    Then, to add a second iCloud account, open Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars > Add Account > iCloud, type the second Apple ID and set up iCloud for this Apple ID.
    Note that one iCloud account will work as the primary account and the other one as the secondary account. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020

  • I can't create an icloud account from my occasion iphone 5. I don't know why...

    I bought before some days an occasion iphone 5, but always when I like to create an icloud account, in final of the process, it appears a message like that "This device (iphone) is not allowed to create a free icloud". what I must do?

    Yes.  This is what you friend would need to do.  He (she) would need to start by saving any photo stream photos on his phone to his camera roll unless they are already there.  To do this, he should go to his my photo stream album, tap Select (Edit in iOS 6), tap the photos, tap the share icon--box with upward pointing arrow (Share in iOS 6), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then he should go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  (If he is running iOS 7 he will be prompted to also enter his iCloud password to turn off Find My iPhone.)  This will only delete his iCloud data from his phone, not from his iCloud account.  His data will sync back to his phone when he signs back in.
    Then you can go to Settings>iCloud on his phone and sign in with your Apple ID to create your new account.  Leave all other settings off and do not choose Merge with iCloud if you are prompted (since you do not want his data in your new account).  Then tap Delete Account to delete your new account from his phone (and provide your password if prompted to turn off Find My iPhone).
    Then your friend can go to Settings>iCloud on his phone, sign back in with his iCloud ID and his data will sync back to his phone as it was before.
    Then you can go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and sign in with your Apple ID.  Since you are signing into an existing iCloud account this time you will not receive the prompt that your phone is not allowed to create.  Then you shoudl be good to go.
