Can you create a icloud account on a device.

Hi all,
I have a family mobileme account which I'm primary on it, and each of the family members have either iphone's or ipad's associated with it, and have either macs (snow lepard or lion) or windows (xp, or win 7) computers. And since MM is going away in Feb, I'm curious can each family member create a icloud acccount there iphone's or ipad's without using there computers or not. And what happpens to the info that is stored on the devices after feb deadline if we don't create accounts for them does it  all go away?

Yes, iCloud can only be used with Lion in the mac environment, I don't know much about windows but I thought it worked with XP too but could be wrong. Yes there are no family packs with iCloud, each member of a family pack will need their own iCloud account.

  • Can you have 2 iCloud accounts on one device, i would like to share photo stream with my wife but not calendar, contacts

    How do you setup 2 icloud accounts on one phone.  I would like to do that to separate contacts/calendars from photo stream.  I have a shared photo library that i would like to be able to access from each phone.  How do you do it?
    Thanks.

    I don't think there is a method cause when you have 2 iCloud account you double the memory given by them (5gb) and if you want more memory you have to pay so I don't think apple might have a loop in that :p bu if you want to share pics then you can always use luthoot enabled apps

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

    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.

    i have an apple id and am trying to create an icloud account however my phone is not allowing me and saying that the number of free attempts have been exceeded even though this is my first attempt. how can i create an icloud account?

    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?.

    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.

  • HT204053 Can you have 2 iCloud accounts

    Can you have 2 iCloud accounts??  If yes how??

    I assume these are on the same device.
    Using 2 iCloud accounts will mean that only one of them can use photo stream or document and data syncing, you need to decide which one this is (perhaps you only want mail, contacts, reminders, calendars and notes for business). I refer to the one with photo stream and document syncing as the primary account.
    Each device can have only one primary account but multiple secondary accounts. You can choose to use only the services you wish to with each type of account.
    Secondary accounts are added at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. If you don't already have one, you can create a second Apple ID there.

  • Can I create an icloud account from another user's iphone?

    I lost my iphone and I didn't create an icloud account. Can I create my icloud account from someone else's iphone?

    Too late now, if your intent was to locate your phone. There is no way to locate your phone if you didn't set this stuff up before you lost your phone.

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    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!
