How do I make another Icloud account when it says I've reached the maximum number of accounts?

I forgot my past accounts and can't make a new one. I didn't know you could only have 3 accounts. 1 was already on it from the person I bought the phone from, and the other two I forgot. How do I fix it to where I can make a new account? I really need to know because I happen to lose my phone often and the "Find My Phone" thing was really useful when I had my other accounts. Please help.

You can make an account on another iDevice or on a computer. Then you can
use that new account on your iPhone.

  • Says I've reached the maximum of free accounts for my device. It's a used iPhone 4s. Trying to activate find my iPhone. Please help!?

    We bought our son a used iPhone 4s almost 2 years ago. It was recently lost, but we were lucky enough to get it back. As a precaution in case it's lost or stolen again I'm trying to activate find my iPhone, but it tells me I have to have iCloud. But iCloud keeps telling me I have reached the maximum number of free accounts for this device. We have never had an iCloud account, so I'm assuming it was from the original owner. I have no way of contacting this person anymore because their eBay account is no longer active. The phone was factory reset when we bought it, and we reset it again today trying to see if that would fix it, but he lost all his stuff for nothing. We also updated the software. Is there anything we can do about this? Or at least maybe a different app that can track a phone that doesn't require iCloud? I don't know anything about Apple devices. Thanks so much!

    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've reached the maximum number of accounts on this device

    Has alcanzado el número máximo de cuentas en este dispositivo
    Qué puedo hacer?

    Create the account on a computer or other iOS device first. Then you
    will be able to use that newly created account on your iPhone.
    I believe each iPhone is limited to creating 3 accounts.

    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.

  • Hi, i have a second hand iphone 4s and i made a AppleID and everything was ok, but when I turn on the icloud, i write the appleID and the password but then appears a error message saying: "This iPhone has been activated the maximum number of accounts"

    Help me how can i put/activate my icloud account

    If you are getting that message you will not be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone because the maximum number of accounts has alread been created.  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.

  • "You have reached the maximum number of free accounts activated on this iPhone"

    I bought a used iphone 4s, and when i try to activate my icloud account, it shows mw thw followin message:
    "Unable to start session - You have reached the maximum number of free accounts activated on this iphone"
    Is there a solution?

    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.

  • What happens when you reach the maximum number of failed attempts on the lock screen password of iPod Touch?

    Do you get the screen that says, "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes", or do you get that screen when you reach the maximum number attempts on the restrictions password?

    Thank you. I am out of town traveling and my daughter sent me a picture saying the got the before mentioned message. She told me she forgot her lock screen password, and that just boggled my mind considering she locks and unlocks that thing 1000 times daily. I automatically assumed she was trying to guess the password I put on the restrictions page.

  • I can't sign into iCloud. It says the maximum number of accounts allowed has been used. iPad is secondhand. How do I clear it of previously used accounts.

    I Can't sign into iCloud. I get a message saying that the maximum number of free accounts has been reached on my device. It is a secondhand device that had been wiped. The seller has no idea why this is happening.

    Thanks for reply. I can't get find my iPad. I've just looked in App Store to no avail. My daughter in law says I need to sign in to iCloud for that an that's not possible. My phone is an android an finding apple very difficult to use but she has phone an pad an she connected my pad to laptop to try an sort it with no luck. She also sent some docs to my kindle app through iTunes. I just tried to update Amazon an got asked for password for her email address instead of mine. This iPad is a nightmare. thanks anyway from Sally.

    I can not sign in to my iphone because it has the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on my iphone, How can i fix my iphone account settings

    As Csound1 said, you cannot create a fourth new account on the same device, but this should not prevent you from signing onto an account you have created previously.

  • HT204053 I bought an iPhone  from some one and it says the maximum number of accounts has been entered for iCloud login how can I get iCloud now?

    Please help

    Restore it as new.  Why wouldn't you do that when purchasing a used device from another individual?

  • Maximum number of accounts

    Have been using macs for twenty years but this one is driving me nuts.
    I have NEVER ever accessed iCloud on ANY device, though I probably tried in the past.
    Anyway, the other day I wanted to give it a try and I systematically get the message "you have reached the maximum number of accounts". So I can't login to iCloud.
    What I find pretty stupid is:
    - I am currently using ONE account that I wanted to use on ONE device
    - I can't create another account
    - I can't even manage my account to unactivate, for instance, the iPhone I'm not using anymore.
    So what the heck is this maximum number and how can we reset that?? This is nonsense!!
    Thanks
    Olivier

    Thanks.
    But I'm still lost.
    I'm pretty sure I didn't create three accounts on any device (as I said, I never ACCESSED iCloud before) and even if I did accidentaly, I don't remember which accounts they were.
    Ok, let's say I will start from scratch :
    - if I try to create a new id I get the message "this computer cannot create any more free account"
    So... I kind of understand there is a limit of a mix of devices and computers. But is there NO way to at least know what account is linked to what machine? I mean, let's say I DID create these accounts... how can I get a hand on them again??
    Thanks

  • How can i use another icloud account in my iphone? can i pay one?? where?

    how can i use another icloud account in my iphone? can i pay one?? where?
    My phone has reached the maximum number of free accounts activated where can I buy one to use?

    You can't buy another one.  You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.
