I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but os not an iCloud account. How do I get to use iCloud?

I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but is not valid for iCloud. How do I get to use iCloud?

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID. You can only sign into an existing account on a PC. You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

How can I sync and use iCloud right (when I've been doing it wrong)

First off I have to burnish my pride a bit by saying that I've been using Macs since 1988 and I'm a developer and UI designer and know all the geeky stuff and all the gadgets and blah blah.
Now that that's out of the way, I only got into using iTunes with another device when I got my iPad back in 2010. I never had an iPod before. I used to buy songs through iTunes, stored my ripped music from CDs (and even a few songs through P2P networks I admit) all in iTunes. I always treated the music like other data and just backed it up on drives and never really made a concerted effort to sync anything to anything. I occasionally used 3rd party s-ware like Xilisoft to manage copying files back to my hard drive. I'm also a big fan of TidyUp (www.hyperbolicsoftware.com) to remove duplicate files and all that. My backup procedure is, sorry to say, just buy another drive and keep swapping data. I'm sorry...I suck.
Then I got an iPhone early this year and started another combination of apps and media that never quite synced up with my hard drive. When iCloud came along, I updated my iPhone and learned that it took all my apps and media off b/c I never synced that up properly. I eventually got the media and apps back onto my iPhone through iCloud. I see how the syncing thing can be a really wonderful method...when done correctly, esp. w/iCloud.
But now the desktop has only the apps & music from my iPhone (i think). I'm about to update my iPad to iOS 5 and have a bunch of questions:
When it says "There are purchased items on the iPad “_____” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?" I cancel. But if I go to Purchased from the iPad and drag them to the Library, when I go back to update, it gives me the same message.
Is there a way, I guess 3rd party, to get apps from the iPad to the desktop?
I see books on my ipad, but not the same books that I purchases through Kindle or Google books, just some (not all) of the books in my iBooks.
Is there any way to designate through iTunes what songs were purchased and what were imported from previous CDs? Yeah, I can count on iCloud and my other drives to locate all the music, but it would be great to see this displayed in advance.

went to the apple store and got a little more detail. he said to first backup the iPad (right-click on it in iTunes). then 'restore' the iPad. THEN update. I downloaded the update software, so now my option is "restore & update" which i'm doing now.
I still don't get how you can look in iTunes at a device's apps in the Library view and see apps from my iPhone, but it doesn't show me the apps for the iPad. What I see there are the apps from my iPhone. I only see iPad's apps when I look at that device in iTunes>Summary. The rep had no idea why there was not the complete listing of books on iTunes as there was on the iPad.
Thanks....

I have the ICloud icon. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?

I have the ICloud icon on my PC - Windows 7 - and the program. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?

You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files. It happens sometimes. To recovery:
- Import the old music into the current iTunes library
- Make sure all the apps are also in the library
- If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
- After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes.
- Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

Hello pmarrone,
You may only sign up for an iCloud account via one of the following systems or devices.
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

I changed my Apple ID, now I can't login to iCloud because it still has my old Apple ID and the password no longer works to log me in. How can I get back into iCloud so that I can switch off Find my iPhone so I can make these changes? Thank you.

I upgraded to IOS 7 and now I can't get my Hotmail account on my phone. When I type in all the information, I get "Unable to Verify Account Information". How do I get to use my Hotmail account using this software????

I have had the same problem as yours on my Ipad after upgraded Procreate 2.01. My iOS is 7.04. I tried to find solution from internet for weeks. Fortunately, the problem was resolved a few minutes ago. It is very simple,
1. Lunch outlook.com to confirm you can access hotmail mailbox. It means your account is Ok.
2. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.Delete your hotmail account from your device.(my device is Ipad)
3. Turn off your device, then turn on again.
4. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and create your hotmail account by tap outlook.com. Be sure the incoming mail server is pop3.live.com.
5. Waiting for validation.
That's all. Hope my experience is helpful. Good luck!

I have just bought a new Imac and it will not load my copy of FCE 3.5 as it says "PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So how do I get to use the version of FCE I am used to and have paid for ?

I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the 27" screen from your iMac to view and work FCE in the Mac Mini environment);
2. Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCE and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly. There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

I've bought more gb for iphone 4, how do I get to use it. It says its in icloud

II've bought more gb to download a film but it says it in iCloud. How do I get to use it??

Correct you can't buy more KB for the iphone, what you bought was for icloud backup.
If you want to download the film, you will have to delete some apps, pics, videos off your phone.
You bought more memory for icloud not the phone itself.

Have you carefully read iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud & iCloud on a Mac?, What do I need? If you are trying to run on Windows 7 on your iMac and ignoring OS X well you're pretty much on your own. You would need to look for supports on Windows forums. If you happen to use BootCamp there is a Bootcamp forum that you can post on for BootCamp and Windows assistance.

HT1937 How can I get to use my phone? Much of it appears to be set up but when I try and make a call it tells me I have not been given access to this service

How can I get to use my phone? When I try and dial out it says: 'You have not been given access to this service'

Have you chacked with your carrier. The message you are getting seems to relate to a carrier issue and not something to do with the phone itself

Cannot get mail using iCloud. Says no password provided for iCloud, to go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password, even though I've already done this. Very odd.

I doubt you are doing anything wrong. First day glitches
Reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Make sure you have Mail selected here > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
