Are you trying to login to an account you already made (on an iPhone or similar) or create a new iCloud account?

  • Stupid icloud sign in box says my id is a valid apple id but not an icloud id!  after changing my password it still won't let me sign in, why?

    I finally got tired of updating iTunes and saying no to iCloud.  Stupid me apparently.  Now I'm Faced with a sign in box for iCloud that says my id is a valid Apple id but NOT an iCloud id.  Everything I look at says that the id should work for both.  Well, it's not for me and I am regretting having installed iCloud.  If I can't sign in, or find out how to, I am going to remove iCloud and will never have anything to do with it again as it will be an obviously unusable program.  Anyone know how to fix the stupid thing? 
    OK.  I finally got a new screen that says I have to use my apple id to set up iCloud on a device..I don't have any devices..only my PC, unless a Kindle counts.  Can anyone help here, please?

    Hi kjohns2001,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you do not have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you don't need iCloud.
    It is a service that keeps these devices and your computer synchronized.
    iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
    iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists.
    So, you can uninstall it from the Control Panel in Windows.
    Cheers,

  • HT4759 i downloaded the icloud to my pc it says to login with apple id and it says it is a valid apple id but not cloud but i cannot get the control panel for icloud to come up to set it up on my pc which runs windows 8

    An update.
    From iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
    "iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8"
    but you still need to set it up on a Mac or iOS device, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later."

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

    it recognizes the iPOD but I can't get any of the new songs to import to the iPOD
    are you getting an error message, Odessa? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if you're not getting an error message, describe what happens when you try to transfer songs to the ipod as best you can.

  • Hi guys !!  I have an iPhone 3GS and there is something wrong. I am trying to download the podcasts app and it says it requires iOS 7 or later. I'm really going mad and I can't download any kind of music or ringtone. Is there any easy solution.

    Hello guys !! I have an iPhone 3GS, it's on iOS 6.1.3 but I'm unable to download the podcasts app because it says it requires iOS 7 or later.because of this I cannot download any type of music or ringtone.apple has done very bad as they r now only dealing with the latest and forgot about the previous customers. Any easy solution??

    It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
    In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple.

  • I used to be able to get onto a site, but two days ago I no longer can. I have talked with the site Admin and he says the site is viewing me as non-legit.

    I used to frequent an RPing site until two days ago on Sunday, January 26th, 2014. After speaking with the Site admin I was told that the site no longer recognized me as a "legit person". I have gone through all the normal steps, updating, uninstall and re-install Firefox, delete cookies and history, removed proxy for connection (and all the other proxy options) and even restarting the computer. I have tried accessing the site on other browsers, IE and Chrome and it works just fine! I even have other friends who can still use the site on Firefox! I do not know how to fix the problem, and I hate Chrome/IE with a passion, so I am praying there is some way to fix this problem and let me use Firefox again for the site. As for the error I get whenever I try to get to the site it reads. "The requested URL "(Site Address)" cannot be found or is not available. Please check the spelling or try again later."

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
    <!-- VERY important to include-->
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

  • I sign in to iCloud with my iTunes login and it states that I have a valid iTunes login but not iCloud.  How do I set up an iCloud login?

    I am trying to sign into iCloud from my laptop Windows 7 computer!  I sign into iCloud using my iTunes ID and Password.  I get a message telling me, "This is a valid iTunes ID and password, but not for iCloud."  So how do you sign into iCloud?  I have no problem signing into iCloud from my Android device (Kindle).  How do I sign into iCloud on my laptop computer?
    Thank you in advance for your reply!

    Your iTunes your username and password can be the same as your Apple ID. I suspect you have more than one Apple ID. 
    You can't merge IDs. You have to Sign out of an ID then Sign in with the other ID if you have purchased under two different accounts.
    Confused? You aren't alone.

  • I can scroll sparatically. I downloaded the new version and it worked good for a week. It starts and stops.

    I use firefox on facebook.. Scrolling is sparatic. When I try and click on something it doesn't work. The screen will go blurry for about 30 seconds then it will clear and I can scroll or click for a second then it will do it again.

    i just fixed this on my machine running 10.6.8. the typical workaround is to add appropriate UUIDs, which get updated with each new os build, and break plugins (see here). Follow those instructions, but instead of adding the UUIDs they suggest for 10.6.7, add these (I found them on my machine running 10.6.8, and they work):
    064442B6-53C0-4A97-B71B-2F111AE4195B
    588FF7D1-4310-4175-9980-145B7E975C02
    for fixing on os x version 10.6.7, this may help (though letterbox 0.24b9 should work already).
    i emailed the author (aaron harnly, harnly.net) about this, but haven't heard back (a few days). to be sure, i am quite grateful, as i think we all are, for his excellent plugin, and this workaround is quite simple for dealing with updates.

  • HT2305 When I go to download the newest software, my computer says the old version can't be removed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    When I go to download the software update, my computer says the old version of the software can't be removed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Doublechecking before proceeding ... which particular program is it saying can't be removed? (Several different programs might be mentioned in this context: QuickTime, bonjour, Apple Software Update, etc.)

  • HT4901 I'm trying to set my settings for icloud but it says "This is a valid Apple ID but not an icloud account, what am I doing wrong."

    What am I doing wrong.

    You can't create a new iCloud acount using a PC. You must create it on an Apple device, a Mac or an iPad/iPhone. Then you can use it on your PC.
