Have a laptop pc. having trouble setting up account for the cloud. can some one tell me how to set up a account and where?

Taken from the main screen of the iCloud.com website:
"To use iCloud, first set it up using your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion."
You cannot create an iCloud account from a PC.

  • Setting up boot WIM... but having trouble setting up the correct NIC driver

    I'm trying to setup a network boot with Windows Deployment Services. Pretty straightforward (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766320.aspx). Problem though is the OOTB Vista & Win2k8 boot.wim file don't include the necessary driver for the NIC card (Intel 82567LM Gigabit NIC). So I'm following these steps outlined here in the MSFT KB (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923834) but seems I'm not loading the correct driver. I looked in my w500 Vista x64 install that has a working NIC to get the working NIC INF file, but that didn't work. Anyone successfully done this? I'm sure some of the bigger organizations have... just having trouble creating a boot.wim (or modifying the one I've got) to add the correct NIC driver to continue with a PXE boot.

    Thanks... I got that far as the boot loader is x86... but I'm trying to figure out which specific INF rather than load all of them as its a manual process.

  • HT201318 i've paid for my icloud storage but now need a vat receipt, where can i get one?

    i've paid for my icloud storage but now need a vat receipt, where can i get one?

    Usually Apple sends an invoice to your mail 1-2 days after your purchase.
    You may even search the invoice yourself, but I'm not sure if you will find it before 1-2 days.

  • HT201328 i got an iphone 3gs as gift, but for unlocking the same the company is asking for a bill. Where do i get one?

    got an iphone 3gs as gift, but for unlocking the same the company is asking for a bill. Where do i get one?

    The company is asking for a bill to ensure the account has been payed off / qualifies for unlocking. The company will also need the information to log any requests.
    Solution:
    Get in contact with the origional owner of the phone and have them contact the previous carrier to get it unlocked.

  • HT1338 I am running 10.5.8.  I downloaded 10.7 but it will not install.  It seems I need 10.6.  Where do I get it?

    I am running 10.5.8.  I downloaded 10.7 but it will not install.  I seem to need 10.6.  Where do I get it?

    Doublechecking ... are you looking for an iTunes version 10.6.3.25?
    A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

  • My apple TV is having trouble setting date and time

    While fast forwarding a purchased movie, ATV froze.  Then it wouldn't play any movies.  Unplugged it, restarted it, tried to reset the settings, and it keeps getting hung up on date and time.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    It is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly, DNS should be on automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try Ethernet. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV and router

  • TS2755 My husband and I have a linked apple account and i cloud. Now he is receiving all of my text messages. How can I fix it to where he only receives his messages and not mine? Any help is appreciated!

    My husband and I both have iphones and both are linked to the app store and i cloud. Now my husband is receiving all of my text messages and has all my contacts. How can we get it to where he does not receive my messages anymore? Any help is appreciated!

    Best way is to get your own Apple ID, but until then have him go to Settings > Message > Receive at and remove your phone number.

  • Having trouble setting up the volume on my ipod...

    when i put on the sound check on on my pod it really knocks the volume way down, and i find if i boost the volume to my music tracks in my itunes settings {even with sound check off} that a certain percentage of my volume control {roughly the last ten percent} on the slider doesn't work... its as if itunes is trying to keep all my music at the same volume even with sound check switched off, even after i have manually boosted the volume on my music... is it me? is there a way round this? ideally i just want to boost the volume on my music and have it all play out at roughly the same volume, but it doesn't quite seem to work... any help would be much appreciated???

    if i boost the volume to my music tracks in my itunes settings {even with sound check off} that a certain percentage of my volume control {roughly the last ten percent} on the slider doesn't work..
    Correct, using that method all you do is make it so that the maximum volume on the iPod is reached before the volume bar is at full.
    For example, if you increase a track's volume in iTunes by +100% then when it's on the iPod you will find that that track hits it's maximum volume level at about half volume, and turning the iPod up to full volume will not increase the volume any higher after this point. A track which has not had it's volume altered in iTunes will reach exactly the same sound level, although of course you will need to turn the volume level of the iPod to full in this instance.
    All iPods manufactured for the European market have a volume cap applied to them. It's a European directive from those nice people in Brussels who make sure we can't damage our delicate little ears.
    If you have an older iPod you can use goPod to remove the cap on iPods that have this volume limitation. That should make your iPod maximum volume louder.
    The soundcheck option will lower the volume on your iPod somewhat in order to level out the volume of different songs. There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
    For Windows there is mp3/aacGain.

  • HT203783 Having trouble setting up the iCloud keychain access on new devices because I can't access the phone number that is associated with my account (for 2 factor verification)

    I also don't know the answers to my security questions. I spoke with iCloud support on the phone for about an hour, but we got locked out of my account and they eventually encouraged me to check if I could log into old devices (I now know I can't-they've either been sold or are not using iCloud keychain).
    Anybody think they can help? I don't want to have to set up a new iCloud account.

    Welcome to the Apple community Yao.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    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.

  • Why am i having trouble setting up the email when verizon is our provider?

    Why cant i set up my email.  Verizon is our wireless provider and use windows live on our laptop to receive emails

    Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

  • Lol, I am new to Mac, never called during 90. How/where can I learn basics. Nearest Apple store is 1 hr away. My wi fi keeps dropping. I guess thats why my email isn't loading??? Any help much appreciated.

    Everytime I get near this Mac I do something to it. Today I have managed to make my screen small and have no idea how to make it bigger.

    I suggest you buy David Pogue's "The Missing Manual for Lion" which is an excellent teaching resource.  You might also try Mac For Dummies (no slur intended) and read the manual for your model Mac.

  • I am having trouble setting up my tesco email account on my ipad3 - help?

    I use a tesco email account which I view through outlook on my PC but I am having trouble setting this up on my iPad

    You need to first set up a new account with the information provided by your university. They should supply you with an email address and you should be able to provide your own password. They should also provide you with the name of the incoming mail server to use as well as the name of the outgoing mail server. They should let you know whether to set up the account as an IMAP account or a POP account (with the servers to match).
    If you already have all this information at hand, setting up the email account should be fairly easy. What have you tried thus far?

  • Having trouble setting up network

    Hi guys,
    I just recently moved to a new house and am having trouble setting up the network with my airport extreme. There is a cable modem that is networked to the house so that every room has an outlet.
    I connected the airport to one of the outlets with my macbook and when I create network, I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly even though the macbook detects a network when I set it up with bridge mode. But hard wired through the router I can surf the web as I am doing right now.
    When I hit share an IP address, the internet does not work at all. It seems to work fine with my old netgear router, but would prefer using the airport.
    I've also reset the airport as well with still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Have you tried powering down the modem for 5 min and then turning on with the ethernet connected to the WAN port of airport extreme?

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.
