Can I log in to iCloud without having any Apple devices?

I don't own any Apple devices. I am using Windows 8.1. I have iTunes 11.1.3.8 on my Windows HP laptop. I've subscribed to iMatch to store my iTunes songs on iCloud. When iTunes was automatically updated, iCloud 3.0 Control Panel was also installed on my Windows 8.1 computer. When I tried to sign in to iCloud I received this message:
"Cannot Sign Up. This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud Account."
I'm confused. I thought that I had an iCloud account throught my iMatch subscription.
Do I have to own an Apple device in order to log in to iCloud? How do I log in to iCloud? How do I set up an iCloud Account?
I tried to call Apple Support about this issue, but they asked for my Apple Serial Number, and I don't have one because I don't own an Apple device.
I hope someone can help me with this issue. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

You have to have an Apple device to create an iCloud account (not just subscribe to a service like iTiunes Match).  You 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 on your PC.

  • How can i log out from icloud without losing any document?

    I want to create a new icloud account, but first I need to delete the previous one without losing my documents.

    On your mac, use Pages or whichever app is needed for the specific document and save it locally instead of in icloud.  Then disconnect your iOS device from the account.  You can later sync the document via itunes.

  • HT4759 Can you set up an icloud account without having your apple device in your hand?

    I need to set up my iCloud so I can track my phone but I don't have it! Is there a way to set up my iCloud without my phone?

    If you mean you actually need to enable the "find my iPhone" setting under your iCloud Account's settings on your iPhone, then no, of course not.  You needed to have enabled that setting before it went missing in order to be able to remotely connect/communicate with it in the first place.
    In order to remotely track an iOS device, that device needs to have an active iCloud account already on it, and the "find" setting already turned on - all before it is no longer in your hands.

  • Can we delete songs in iCloud without having to subscribe or enable iTunes Match?

    I'm having issues with the hidden songs in iCloud. They always show up in my download queue when I update iTunes or redownload iTunes. Is there a way to delete the songs from iCloud without enabling iTunes Match?
    Thanks for the help! Or the ideas.

    You cannot delete anything from your purchase history in icloud at all. 

  • How can i find my lost ipod without having any tracking apps installed?

    i have just lost my ipod somewhere and i couldn't find it. is there any way that I could get it back? But as far as I remember I have not installed any tracking apps on my ipod. will the serial number on the box do any help?

    The serial number can be reported to the police, etc. but this is the only way it will help.
    If you had activated "Find my iPod" on your iPod there are some things that you could do (if it has not been restored, is on and is connected to a registered WiFi network).

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.

  • Can i lock my iphone without having the apple id?

    Can i lock my child iphone without having his apple id?

    If you mean you wish to lock it remotely, then you need whatever Apple ID and password that was used on the iPhone to set up Find My iPhone. If that was your child's ID, then yes, you'll need that ID and password.

  • How can I disable iCloud without having my documents deleted?

    Hello everyone.
    Before trying out iCloud, I had a number of documents on my ipad. I decided to try iCloud, but upon switching it back off, my documents were deleted off of pages. Upon restarting iCloud, they reappear.
    So my question is, how do I turn off iCloud without having my documents deleted?

    > Syncing documents with iCloud is not enabled by default.
    Then you shouldn't come on so strong. I have a 200 Gig Dropbox account and I have been wary from day 1 of using my 1 year MobileMe "free" storage that would eventually go away if I didn't pay Apple. I would not, and did not, set iCloud to save my documents.
    I'd like to get the real answer from Apple emloyees. If you can not delete from iCloud without deleting on the computer, it's a bad design. What I'm talking about is very easy with Dropbox.
    thanks

  • Hi ! I got an iPhone 5 from someone who I don't know the real owner. Then I wanna change iCloud on it, but I don't know the password of owner. How can I log out that iCloud account without password ? Please help me, thank you

    Thank you, please help me !

    How can I log out that iCloud account without password ?
    You can't.
    Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
    You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

  • Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud set up?

    Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud. The phone is already stolen.

    I'm sorry for your unfortunate situation. This question is asked time and time again - sadly no, you cannot set up "Find my Mac" after it's lost or stolen. The whole point is that you have to set it up before you lose contact with it.
    When you get a new Mac, this is one of the first screens you see - "Do you want to set up iCloud to Find My Mac?". I don't understand why anyone would answer "No".
    There are third-party location utilities, but again, you have to set them up when the computer is still in your possession. I use Undercover by Orbicule - allows you to locate the computer and take webcam snapshots and keylogs of the person using it. I also have iCloud set up, so I have two options for location should it get lost or stolen.

  • Can i factory reset an iphone thru itunes or icloud without having my iphone present

    can i factory reset an iphone thru itunes or icloud without having my iphone present

    If you set up Find My iPhone and the phone appears in iCloud.com, you can erase it, which is what I presume you are wanting to do. If you didn't set up Find My iPhone or it doesn't appear there, then there's no way to erase the phone without having it in hand.
    Regards.
