Could'nt sign to icloud. It shows error i.e. Maximum numbers of free accounts activated on this iphone
Could not sign into icloud shows maximum numbers of free accounts activated on this iphone
Each device can only create three free iCloud accounts. Once these are created, you cannot create another account on that device. You can only re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

I am not able to register my Apple ID for iCloud and the error is "the maximum no of free accounts have been activated on this phone" can any one help me why I need to do
Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.
You can learn more from --> Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support -
PLease help me.....i wanna sign in icloud with different account but it says max number of free acconts reached
Somehow your Apple ID/iCloud account has been used on multiple iOS devices and exceeded the maximum. We have no way of knowing which devices. We are users like you on this forum.

Can someone pls help me?
Each device can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts. Once those have been create and you try to create another you get this message. You cannot delete one of the previous accounts in order to create another one. All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher) and sign into the account on your phone.

can not sign in to Icloud it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation
Error Message: "Cannot sign in. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad/iphone"
I encountered the same problem when I purchased a used iPad for my elderly father and couldn't set it up for him. I called Apple Support...
Apple support could NOT help me. I was told there is no way to circumvent the 3 icloud setup limit on iOS devices at their end. I was told to use a different mac or iOS device that hadn't met the 3 x limit.
So, using MY iPad I tried to do that. At first I went to Settings/iCloud. But that is your PRIMARY iCloud account (and this was MY iPad and I didn't want to screw up my own settings!) which you don't want to trash.
After some online research (iMore to be exact) I discovered you can setup a secondary iCloud account using:
Settings/Mail,Contact,Calendars --> Add Acount... -->iCloud --> Get A Free AppleID --> Birthday Q then Security Question - then Name - then Get a free iCloud email address....
After you get to the new iCloud settings page at the end of the signup process - I deselected all the tabs which made the new account "inactive" on my iPad.
Next I went to the used iPad that had the initial problems, and tapped on Settings/iCloud. I signed in with the iCloud account that was newly created and was able to then get an iCloud account to work!
I left the new iCloud account showing on my own iPad (under Mail,Contacts,Calendars) as it is inactive. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it - it may stop working on my father's iPad then. -
Hii,, i will not open my iCloud.its showing me:the maximum numbers of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone,what should I do
Yes, you can do that. Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete (if it's currently logged into some other account). Then sign in using you ID. Somehow, what you were doing before ended up trying to create a new account/ID. That you can't do more than five times.

i am not able to get into icloud account my device flashs following message, maximum numbers of free account has been activated on this iphone pls help me to rectify
you are only able to use up to 3 icloud accounts on an ios device.
your only option is to use one of the accounts you already have. -
Anytime I try to login into my iCloud a message appears saying "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on the iPhone".what does that mean ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another iOS device or Mac computer. -
ICloud Error! The maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this iPod touch.
This is seriously annoying, I've been going around in circles trying to get my music onto my bloody iPod. I can't sync because it pauses @ Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied error for ios7 devices. So my only option is to use iTunes Match and pay 40 bucks for it, but I think for iTunes match, you also need an iCloud account. Well I can't! Because when I go to sign into my iCloud using my Apple ID, it pops up with this error: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPod touch.
I'm about to give up and kill every one of Apple's employees.
I'm ready and open to everyones strategy at getting this fixed, thanks in advance.So I go to make a new Apple ID, then go to my newly downloaded iCloud Control Panel for PC, and it says that this is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud ID. I figured the only way to make an iCloud ID is to make an account on my iPod... BACK TO THE START! I can't because it gives me an error after I have created my account saying: "This device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account"
WHAT IS GOING ON, fix your stuff Apple. -
I cannot sign in to my icloud. I have reached the maximum number of free accounts on my phone.
I am not sure what to do next.. i need to set up an icloud but i cant now.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one. -
Icloud: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.
HI, I just bought a used (second hand) iphone 3gs recently. I have activated my apple id it's working for app-store well, but when i try to use it for icloud it gives me the error that
"The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone"
What I must do to sign in to icloud please help me.
I suppose the previous owner has already activate an icloud account from this iphone and the IMEI number of the phone is registered to icloud. Is there a way to erase it, or just make a second account from this iphone?You need to sign in to your iCloud on another device before you can use iCloud on your iPhone 3GS.

Hy. please help me. what's the problem? when i accessing icloud or find my friend:The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.
Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone. If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts). To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account. Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device. Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

"Could't sign in because a server error" but all iCloud services in green
Hi!
I've just made a clean installation of Yosemite. When the assistant asks me for my iCloud account, the answer when I try to login is "Could't sign in because a server error". If I try to log in via icloud.com the answer is "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". If I try to sign in via System Preferences the answer is "You can't sign in at this time. Try sign in again"
but:
- iCloud services are all ok (https://www.apple.com/es/support/systemstatus/)
- I can go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and I can log in with my iCloud id.
Creating another user has no effect.
Can anyone help me, please.
Thanks a lot.
Images:Seems like the firewall was preventing iCloud to sign in correctly. I've tried from another network and the login was succesful.
I hope this could help anyone.
Thanks -
