How can i get an icloud account?
need icloud account
By signing in with your Apple ID in Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or in System Preferences>iCloud on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. You can't create an iCloud account on a PC.

Hi
I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and 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 and some other circumstances.
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. It may take a short while to remove the account.
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.

My family shares the same itunes account on all three iphones and my ipad. I am trying to back up my iphone data without having it merge with my husband and daughters iphone. How do I do this? I just tried to back up my device in itunes with a protected password and it will not back up. Can I create an icloud account for my phone and different icloud accounts for my husband and daughter and still keep our itunes account?
Thanks
DeniseYes, you can do that. Just create a new iCloud account for you:
1. "Settings > iCloud" (log out from your husbands account, if you are signed in and delete this account from your iPhone)
2. Create a new iCloud account on your iPhone with a free me.com email address:
"Setting > iCloud"
or
"Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud"
3. After that you will have the opportunity to sync and backup your personal mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes etc. completely separated from your husbands account.
4. But make sure to keep your husbands account for iTunes and app purchases:
"Settings > iTunes & App Stores"
I hope that answers your question and will help you. -
HT4436 How can I get an Icloud account when I have an iphone3?
I have an iPhone 3G and a Windows7 laptop. I use iTunes for all my music. How do I create an iCloud account??
I currently can't afford to upgrade my phone.
ThanksWelcome to the Apple Support Communities
The iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1, and iCloud requires iOS 5 or later, so you can't use iCloud with the iPhone 3G -
My grandson couldnt get a icloud account I had to put him on mine , it stated that you this phone is no longer able to ge a free id. so I gave him mine we now share but when i brought something my credite card went on his phone. I was able to take it off but when he downloads game it comes on my phone is there a way i can get him a account or is there a way i can change mine and it doesnt effect anything i have down with this account
He can continue using your icloud, but he can still create his itunes account. As long as he is over 13 that is. On his phone - sign out of your Apple id in settings- itunes and app store. then follow instructions below and create his account. You will still share icloud (contacts, calendars and more) but itunes music, apps, credit card of yours will not be for him anymore, unless he decided to buy more icloud storage.

in the future I recommend you to get him off your icloud account as well, you don't realize it, but he can wipe your phone within seconds. -

When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?
You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?
If problem contact iTunes by:

How can I get on iCloud when it say the maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this IPad?
A maximum of three new iCloud accounts can be created on a single iOS device. If you have already created three iCloud accounts (why?) then log in using one of those to start using it.
Otherwise, you'll have to find another device to create an iCloud account on. -
How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac? I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works! I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one. I tried his security questions to no avail.
ThanksSince that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

How can I delete an icloud account from a phone that I bought from a friend that never deleted it and am not in touch with him so that's not an option
You can't, your friend can. So get in touch. If you can't then the phone is useless.

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.

When I go to log onto iCloud using my Windows 7 and it asks for my login information, I get the error saying my Apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account?
I don't have any apple products personally, this is for work to use Photo Stream so when Superintendents & Project Managers take pictures of their construction site, I am able to have those images immediately.
Thank youYou can not create an iCloud account using a PC, you will need an Apple product. Once the account exists you can logon to it from a PC.
