Can not login to iCloud Control Panel

Downloaded and installed iCloud control panel. When I try to login, it says my Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud Account. I can login to the iCloud website ok. What is the problem wit hthe control panel?
Thanks,

I am on 10.7.2, my iPhone iCloud account works fine, I can sign in at the iCloud website no problems, but have the same error message. I also get this when trying to create an account:
I've waited many moments, still no joy.
Has anyone got a response from an actual apple support person? Or is that a waste of time?

Can not login to icloud at this time...

Hi
So, I do not get this. I have tried to setup an icloud account for my dad on his MacBook Pro running 10.8.2, using his Apple id.
It just says that it can not login to icloud at this time, but I can login icloud.com using the same user/password via safari.
So, what is this ?? Anyone with a similar experience ?
Thanks.

Workaround - works
I backed up and deleted the children's accounts on the Mac, recreated them as normal accounts with no Parental Controls and setup all of the iCould mail and other apps.
I then locked down the browser for sites like google and youtube to use their explicit content blocking.
I then added parental controls to the accounts.
All is now working correctly although there is clearly an issue,
If you can be bothered to do this, you'll be fine.

I can sign into icloud online but not on the icloud control panel

Hi,
I am new to Apple. I decided to start with an Ipad, and love it. However, I cannot figure out an issue I am having. I have Windows 7. The icloud control panel worked without issue until a few weeks ago. I have an ipad 3. I have reset my password a few times, but it doesn't fix the issue. I have reinstalled the software, and still have the issue. Any suggestions?

in that case you need the help of Apple Support.- only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone umbers given or an email form:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Mail, Contacts, Calendar not available on iCloud Control Panel on my Win 7 PC for Outlook sync

I have loaded iCloud Control Panel 4.0 on my PC (Win 7 64)
The iCloud Drive, photos & Bookmarks is available to be switched on/off but Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc not available. Instead just a message on top that says you can access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders at iCloud.com.
How do I setup iCloud so that the Calendar & Contacts on my OUTLOOK 2010 are synced with my iPhone &iPad?

Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:

How can i set up icloud control panel on a microsoft surface 2 with windows rt 8.1

How can I setup icloud control panel on a microsoft surface 2 with windows rt 8.1.

I apologize for semi-hijacking the topic of this thread from "Multiple iCould IDs with single AppleID. Possible?"
Perhaps my reasoning for doing this was flawed, but here it is. That thread was started back in June when the real details of iCloud were somewhat conjecture. It is now about 14 pages long. There are some recent posts to the thread, but for the life of me I can't tease a solution to my question above out of them. I just may not be reading carefully enough. If so, I apologize.
What I am looking for is more of a STEP BY STEP guide to setting up iOS 5 and OS 10.7.2 for a family in my situation with my needs. I think I do represent a fair segment of users.
If the monitors of this forum think my thread should be tack on to the end of the above mentioned forum...by all means do so.
Honestly, If Steve were alive today I think he would not be happy with this situation faced by Apple customers. Steve always said his guiding mantra for his products was..."It just works." I honestly believe he meant that. But, with regard to this iCould business...for normal pedestrian users like myself, I would have to say, "It just doesn't work."

Photostream checkbox not available in iCloud control panel: Windows 7 PC, 64 bit

Photostream checkbox in iCloud control panel is not available to be checked. I've uninstalled & reinstalled maybe 4-5x now. Also tried switching from Chrome to Explorer 9 for downloading to see if that might help. Also have deleted everything Apple on my PC, & started from scratch. The very odd thing is, it used to work just fine. At some point within the last 2-3 months, there must have been an update that was installed, and I can no longer access the checkbox on photostream.Tech help could not figure out a solution either.

Why is Photostream grayed out, not available, in iCloud Control Panel?

I have uninstalled iCloud Control Panel, rebooted, reinstalled, several times. Always the same result.

I am beyond sick of this problem!!! Spent nearly a whole day last week uninstalling, reinstalling, settings, more settings, closing down, opening up yadiyadiya..........Thought Id sorted it - well for one day!! And here we go again!!!! As soon as I find an alternative method of posting photos I will discard icloud completely. Apple help is no help. I dont want to read any more notes, fixes, information which isnt effective or which Ive already tried. Its clearly a total sytem failure and I for one am sick of it!!!

How can I Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder

I apparently moved or deleted my iCloud folder and keep getting this message Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder. How do I do this?

I have/had the same problem, just started this morning. I tried a system restore to a known good date. I still had the problem so I rolled restored the system to the latest.
Thinking that it might have something to do with priviliges, I reviewed my user account and noticed it was set to "Administrator". On a whim, I switched my user account from administrator to "standard user" and I'll be... the issue dissapeared. I have no idea why. But I thought I'd pass it along.

Is the icloud control panel the only way to transfer pictures from your iphone to a pc?

i want to transfer my photos from my iphone to my pc but can not download the icloud control panel... is there any other way of transfering photos/ getting them off your phone??

Sure. You can import them using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

ICloud control panel works with 1 ID but not with another

I don't get what the issue is. I can't get the iCloud control panel to work with my itunes/iCloud ID. I am running Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. I logged in with my wife's iCloud account and it worked, logged out and tried to use mine and nothing. It just sits there and the little circle next to "sign in" just spins.
I downloaded the newest update for the control panel and tried it again. Hers works, mine doesn't. This has been going on for about a year and is really annoying.
It is just on the control panel, my iCloud credentials work fine everywhere else (iCloud website, here, iPhone, iPad), so I know that is not the problem.

Here's one way to simplify some of this code. I know that this has nothing to do w/ the original question, but nevetheless, it's an itch that I feel I have to scratch...
public class ssnBoard extends JFrame implements ActionListener,
    Runnable
    JPanel pane = new JPanel();
    JButton[] numberBtns = new JButton[10];
    Font bigFont;
    Color[] numberButtonColors =
        Color.MAGENTA, Color.red, Color.pink, Color.blue, Color.yellow,
        Color.green, Color.yellow, Color.blue, Color.pink, Color.red
    JButton clear = new JButton("CLEAR");
    JButton cancel = new JButton("CANCEL");
    JTextField RutgersIDField = new JTextField("", 6);and this
        for (int i = 1; i < numberBtns.length; i++)
            pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(i));
        pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(0));
        clear.setFont(smallFont);
        Color c10 = Color.white;
        clear.setBackground(c10);
        clear.setForeground(Color.black);
        clear.addActionListener(this); // register button
        pane.add(clear);
        clear.setFocusable(false);and of course this:
    private JButton setUpNumberBtns(int i)
        JButton myBtn = numberBtns;
myBtn.setFont(bigFont);
myBtn.setBackground(numberButtonColors[i]);
myBtn.setForeground(Color.black);
myBtn.addActionListener(this);
myBtn.setFocusable(false);
return myBtn;

Problems: iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 not allowing sync of contacts, calendar, remainders and notes

I just installed Outlook 2013 today. Initally it was showing contacts calendars from my iCloud. Then i got a message that I could not have two outlooks on the computer and I needed to remove one of them. I did take off outlook 2007. Now the control panel does not give me an option to sync with outlook at all. It just tells me that mail contacts calendars reminders and notes are avilable at icloud.com.
I hope to be able to get control panel and outlook to talk nicely again soon.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar issue. I installed Office 2013 yesterday. iCloud 2.1.1.3 I thought was working - I could see the Add-On in Outlook and my contacts were showing correctly under people but it showed in the iCloud control panel that my email for icloud was not connected. I tried removing my iCloud account from Outlook with the intent to reconnect it via the iCloud Control Panel. Bad idea apparently--anytime I try loading the iCloud Control Panel it crashes office. I have reintalled the control panel, tried the office repair, tried enabling / disabling the add-ons, tired a seperate test Outlook profile--nothing works- I am no longer able to integrate the icloud features into Outlook.
I am using Win 7 x64 SP1 with Office 2013 x32. iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1.3
Update: I tried rolling back to a restore point from yesterday to at least get my contacts functioning again. No Luck- the accounts are there again but they are not connected and can't be opened. iCloud Control Panel still crashes Office/Outlook as seen above anytime I try to open it

What do I do to get notes to synch to my Windows 7 outlook. Before I use ICloud and synched my IPod and IPhone by cable to my PC, it worked fine. On the ICloud control panel there is no mention of notes but on Notes on Outlook, the cloud is selected

What do I do to get Notes to synch to my Windows 7 Outlook. Before I began synching my IPod and IPhone to my PC with the ICloud and synched by cable, the synching was fine. There is no mention of notes on the ICloud control panel but the ICloud is selected on Outlook notes.

Make sure you don't have any notes that have no content or subject or this can prevent syncing with Outlook. If you do, delete them.
If you don't, try unchecking "Mail,Contacts,Calendars & Tasks with Outlook" on the iCloud control panel for Windows, choose Delete at the prompt (the data will still be in iCloud), restart your PC, then go back and check this setting again. (Your iCloud data will reappear in Outlook after a brief delay as it redownloads.)
Then create a new note on one of your iOS devices and see if it appears in the Notes folder in Outlook mail after a few minutes.

Do Photos delete from PC in Photo Stream when iCloud Control Panel is deleted

I loaded photos to a PC using the Icloud control panel accidentally. I remember seeing them on the computer, but when I deleted the iCloud control panel (app), they appear to be gone from the computer. Do photos delete when photo stream is not connected or iCloud control panel is removed?
Also...what extension (jpg, jpeg, tiff, etc.) are iphotos usually in so I could search better.

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:
