Can't sign in to my iCloud account on my iPad air

I recently bought an iPad air, obviously I had to create an Apple ID and iCloud account when I set it up, but I don't know how to access my iCloud from my iPad, when I try to sign in on iCloud.com I get asked to instal it on my device and when I click on it the page seems to reload to the same page, this might have a simple solution but have pity on someone who is quite new to using apple technology!

You have to go to icloud.com from your computer browser, not from your iPad.  When you do, you won't bet the prompt to install iCloud.

  • Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

    Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only have one primary account, you can add secondary accounts via settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
    Secondary accounts don't have all the features of primary accounts, such as Photostream.

  • How can I sign out of my iCloud account from a macbook I no longer have access to?

    I got a new macbook recently and neglected to sign out of my iCloud account on the old macbook before I erased and reset it.  Now eveytime I open a new Safari page on my iPhone, both macbooks show up with the Safari windows that are still "open".  I want to remove my old mac from my iCloud account and have removed it from Find My iPhone but the Safari link still shows up.  This is driving me bonkers.

    If you mean the iCloud tabs for your old Mac, these will normally be cleared after 14 days.  Give it a couple of weeks and see if they don't disappear on their own.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372:
    "If you no longer have access to the device that shared the tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 14 days, if the tab is not updated."
    Also, seeing the iCloud tab doesn't mean it's still signed into your account.  It just means that the tab hasn't been cleared yet.  If you completely erased it should no longer be signed into your account.

  • HT4436 I have a secretary who I would like to have access to my icloud calendar for filling empty appointments.  Can she sign up for an icloud account without owning any apple product?

    I have a question about wanting my secretary to have access to my Icloud calendar so she can see open times.  Can she subscribe to get icloud account without having an iphone, ipad, or mac?

    To create an iCloud account it must be set up with an Apple ID on a device with iOS5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.
    Each iOS device can create three iCloud accounts.

  • I can't sign into my different iCloud account to update iPhoto! it will only let me use my dads old one and asks for the password. help!?

    I am signed into my apple id account. When I go to update iPhoto, it asks to sign into my dad's old account in order to update. It will not let me change the apple id to mine, it only asks for the password which is impossible to get a hold of. Literally. Help?!

    That would be because the licensed copy of iPhoto on your Mac belongs to your father. Only he can update the app. Was this once his Mac?

  • How do I sign up a new icloud account on my ipad

    I have an ipad that was already signed with a icloud account. But now I want to put a new icloud account. How do I do it.

    Have you logged out of the existing iCloud account : Settings > iCloud > Delete Account ? If Find My iPad is enabled in iCloud on the existing account then you will need to type in that account's password to be able to remove the account from the iPad - if it's not your account that is logged in then you will need to contact the person whose account it is, only he or she can remove the iPad from their account.
    You shoud then be able to log in with your account

  • How to delete somebody else's iCloud Account from my iPad Air?

    Hi,
    Recently I have bought an iPad Air on a eBay-like site. There the seller said that the item was new but when I chacked the serial number, the device was  already  registered since January. Regardless ths I reset it, created an Apple ID for me and started registering the things under my name. When it came to iCloud, I have  found that all my data was been transferred to somebody else's iCloud account. I tried to delete this account to put mine, but for this it  requires the password of this other user.
    I have contacted the seller, who informed that in fact he didn't know about it because he only won it and decided to resell it, but promissed to investigate and try to resolve it, but in fact I guess I cant cound so much on it and I'm pretty dissapointed and  lost with this  situation. Do you  guys know what I could to remove this account?
    Thanks in advance!

    You will not be able to find the previous user in any Apple database. They wouldn't share that information with anyone as they would be violating privacy issues - unless of course they were directed to do so by a court order.
    There is just something that bothers me about this whole situation and I feel for you, but I would also hesitate to email somebody that I didn't know about asking him to erase his iCloud account. How the iPad could go from one owner to another owner and now to you, without being erased, just gives me a bad feeling, but that's just how I feel about it.
    I guess though at this point, you know worlds more about him than he knows about you if you have his name and email address.

  • 2 iCloud accounts on my iPad showing same emails?

    Why do I have 2 iCloud accounts listed in Mail on my iPad. Both showing same emails?

    You can set up a second ("secondary") icloud account on your iPad by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then singing into the other account.  However, secondary accounts such as this do have limitations.  Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iPad.  Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary acccount mail is fetch.
