Cannot sign into my icloud account on my phone

Hello
I am in Mexico and I cannot signed into my account, plus I don't have any service...

Not sure what it is you did. If you have your contacts saved in iCloud (you can check them by signing into your Apple/iCloud account at iCloud.com - check the Contacts there), then changing your Apple ID will have no effect on your iCloud content. Also, when you Sign Out of the iCloud account on your device, you are given the option to keep the Contacts on that device. If you select "Keep", then when you sign back on with the updated Apple/iCloud ID, it will ask you if you want to merge the contacts on your device with your iCloud account. If you select "Merge", then it merges them.
Also, what the instructions above are having you do is change the Apple ID that the iCloud account is linked to. It is the same Apple account, you are just changing the ID itself. The iCloud account associated with that ID is not changing or being affected in any way. If you created a new Apple ID, then that is the problem. A new ID would be linked to a new/different iCloud account.
However, either way, if you keep your contacts and then merge them even if you set up a separate ID altogether (which is not what the instructions are telling you to do), your contacts would be intact.
Cheers,

TS3988 I cannot sign into my icloud account

I cannot sign into my iCloud account, it keeps saying this; This Apple ID is Valid but is not an iCloud account, so what is?

That message usually means that you have not set up iCloud using a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

HT204053 I cannot sign into my iCloud account. My MAC has my incorrect apple id but it is correct on all other devices (ISO). How can I get this corrected? Thanks!

i cannot sing into my iCloud account on my mac. IT has the wrong apple ID and my apple ID that has been verified does not work. My other devices have my correct apple id and I can sign in. This is very frustrating. Thanks

Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

I cannot sign into my iCloud account from my MAC. In the System Preferences I have two mail accounts iCloud

I cannot sign into iCloud Mail from my MAC. I have tried everything that I can think of to change in System Preferences, even deleted the mailbox and reinstalled it ..... nothing works. It is fine on my iPhone 4S!!! Please help ... about to go crazy! There seem to be two accounts one from MobileMe (mail) and iCloud (calendar and contacts find my phone). I have tried moving the mail to iCloud and unticking it on MobileMe but it will not allow me to submit it!

Im signed into an icloud account on my phone and i dont know the password so i did another email to it and it still wont get off my phone.

Im having a problem with my iCloud account. I had changed it to another account because i had forgotten its password and when i enter it it doesnt work. I tried to delete it off of my phone but it asks for the "Find My iPhone" and either Cancel Or Turn off and it asks for the password that i had forgotten. I had tried to get the password for te account reset but anything that i do it doesnt send me the iForgot recovery password.

Hello, JillWalker.
You will need to remove your device from the Find My iPhone Activation Lock section of iCloud.com. Once you have removed your device, process the restore again.

TS3989 New MacAir but photostream does not work. Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

New computer but Photostream does not work. I am signed into my account but get the following message: In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences. I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed. However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine. Any thoughts?

Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

All of a sudden I cannot log into my icloud account

All of a sudden I cannot log into my Icloud account. Not on my phone and not on a PC. I found a thread that said the first step was to try to sign in to the apple ID to make sure I had my credentials correct. I have done that, so I know I have the correct credentials. My phone has been connected continuously for some time now including this morning. But now I get a connection error. Both on my phone and on the PC.

Seems to be up and down at the moment. For the past hour or so I haven't been able to access via the web or from mail apps (phone, desktop, etc.). Some mail just came through on my phone but it now cannot connect again.
FWIW, system status is green across the board, but that's always laggy and inaccurate: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Hi,
Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:

HT201317 can i sign into my icloud account from a friends computer so i can get to my pictures

Can I sign into my icloud account from a friend's computer so i can get to my pictures?

What you need is a file named Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3). Copy it from your laptop to your other computer at home.
It's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Place it in the same folder on the other computer.
All the files for the site are contained in that file/package. After editing you will have to publish the changes to your hosting server.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
To open your domain file in Lion or later or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

How can i sign into my icloud account on my pc

How can i sign into my icloud account on my pc?

In the iCloud Control Panel, if you have an iCloud account just enter the ID and password and sign in.

Im trying to activate my old phone but it says we need to sign into a icloud account that is old so its been disabled and the email too. Is there anyway we can get it back?

Welcome to the Apple community Jack.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
