How do I set up icloud on my new apple ID?

I had an old email address that used to be my apple ID that no longer exists... so when the cloud came up (and I now have a new apple ID) I was not able to set up the cloud... I have tried all the usual step by step password, email, apple ID reset stuff.. nothing is working.

In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • How do I set up iCloud with my new Apple ID?

    I have changed my Apple ID, but my old one keeps appearing as a prompt for iCloud. I can't remember the password to log out of the old one, and the email isn't valid anymore? How can I change ids so my new one is attached to iCloud?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • How do I set up iCloud on my New iPad without switching my iMac mobile me account to iCloud?

    When I attempt to set up iCloud on my new iPad it asks me to switch my mobile me account to iCloud, but I can't - my iMac is dead (one of the reasons I bought the iPad!!).

    If you also want seperate Contacts and some other things:
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • When my husband and I got these iPhones . We had the same Apple ID .(not good) that has changed . We have a iCloud acct. how or what do I need to do to change on my setting under iCloud it has his Apple ID  and also on r PC it has only his info none of mi

    To change the iCloud account on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  When you delete the account you will be given the option to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your phone.  This also, only deletes the account and the iCloud data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your husband's phone won't be effected by this.  Then, to create a separate account, sign back in with a different Apple ID (you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes).
    If you have any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account. 
    If you're sharing the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  To prevent this, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your new iCloud ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • I have multiple users & devices on my apple account. How do i set up icloud so we can have our own emails?

    I have multiple devices$ users on my apple account. How do I set up icloud so that we can have our own emails?

    iCloud isn't designed for multiple users. Everyone involved should have their own separate iCloud account, which means they need a separate Apple ID to create it: and each should be using a separate user account on the Mac to sign into their iCloud account.

  • I am trying to set up icloud on my new device. However it keeps showing hte message account not verified, check your email. I have tried looking for email there is nothing. How do I set this up?

    I am trying to set up icloud on my new device. However it keeps showing the message - account not verified, check your email. I have looked for email and there is nothing. How do I set this up?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • 10.7.5 on 2008 white Macbook, but there is no iCloud icon in System Preferences. how do i set up iCloud?

    my friend has a white 2008 Macbook running 10.7.5.  i'm trying to set up iCloud for her so she can sync Calendars etc. with her iPhone.  however, there is no icon for iCloud showing up in System Preferences; MobileMe shows up instead.  how can i set up iCloud on this machine?
    she does not want to install Mavericks etc. as this would slow her Macbook down to a crawl (if it even supports Mavericks...)
    many thanks!

    With Lion you  can boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system with little down time. OS X: About OS X Recovery

    Go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID to create the account.  Then turn on the data you wish to sync with iCloud.  See http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.

  • How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device

    How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.
