How do I setup an iCloud account if I have an Apple ID?

The Windows 7 instructions for "Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes" state to "Enter the same Apple ID in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud." The iCloud option does not appear, even after installing iCloud for PC. Please suggest corrective measures.

It needs to be done from a Mac or an iOS device.

How do I setup an icloud account?

Hello everyone:
I have followed all of the limited instructions to set up icloud on my Windows 7 Ultimate computer. I have downloaded the icloud control panel, but I do NOT see how to set up an icloud account. I have been trying for several hours now to figure this out.
Thanking you all for any and all assistance and suggestions that you can give me.
Sincerely,
LadyJanette

You have to first create the account on an iOS device (an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 5 or later) as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html. After the account is created, you then sign into the account on your computer in the iCloud control panel, as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.

How do I verify my iCloud account when the email address apple wants to send the instructions to no longer exists?

How do I verify my iCloud account when the email address Apple wants to send the instructions to doesn't exist? I know I need to change the email account associated with iCloud but there doesn't seem to be a way to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you create an entirely new ID or did you just change the Gmail address to a new email address on your existing ID?

How can I setup multiple iCloud accounts on my Mac?

I'm trying to setup additional icloud accounts. Is this possible and if so, how do you go about doing it?
Thanks!

Thanks... I appreciate the reply. Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)... I had it working before.
Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is... Pop or Imap? What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

How do i setup another icloud account under an apple id??

Wondering how to i can setup another icloud account under an active apple id?? Plz Help ... Thx

Would this work for my situation:
iTunes Account is under a pre-Dot Mac/MobleMe Apple ID and I want to also keep my @mac.com email address and Apple ID.
So if I go and convert my MobleMe account over to iCloud, could I then use your suggestion and create a second iCloud account so that I could then use iTunes Match?
This is because Apple can't seem to hire anyone knowledgeable enough to know how to merge two accounts into one (something done thousands of times a day by thousands of other companies) so they say I have to decide: lose all my iTunes Store purchases (music, apps, iBooks) or lose my email address.

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.
Thanks

Welcome 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

How do i setup multiple icloud accounts for find my iphone

Have kids i want them to have there own icloud account so they can back up to but i want them to all be on one find my iphone account so i can see all my family from one screen.

To be clear, with iOS6 I DID have this ability. Separate iCloud accounts, but every one of my devices was also hooked up to my iCloud account for finding purposes.
Not through iCloud you did not - that has never been possible. When using iCloud (either the find my iPhone app or online in a web browser) you can ONLY track the devices using the same iCloud account as the one you logged in with. And the new security features in iOS 7 related to iCloud are specifically linked to that iCloud accounts AppleID and password, so allowing sharing would ruin the security model.
You CAN use find my friends to track anyone who is willing to allow you to using their iCloud account name.

How do i delete an icloud account if i have no connection

I have upgraded to a new Iphone 5c and i am sending my phone back to 02 but i need to delete my icloud account but i can not do this as i have no connection due to the new phone now working, how can i delete the account from my old phone?

You can erase your phone and remove your Apple ID from it using any computer, by navigating to iCloud.com on the web browser.

How can I delete my iCloud account when I have changed my Apple ID and cannot now sign out as do not have the original Apple ID and password.

I am unable to delete my iCloud account from my device. This is because I recently changed my Apple ID email/ username which now means when I try to delete my iCloud account to log back in with my new Apple ID I am unable to as it requests my old Apple ID username and password which no longer exist. i am on IOS 8.1. Can someone help me find a solution to this?

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

How to I remove an iCloud account I dont have access to?

Long story short my dad had an apple ID permeating his iPad. Then one day he changed ISPs without first changing the email address in his Apple ID. When he subsequently called Apple Support, for whatever reason they couldn't simply change the email on that old account: they had him create a new account (and credited it with the $ balance he had sitting on the old one).
Trouble is....now he cant remove that old AppleID from the iCloud setting on the iPad since doing so requires a password he's long forgotten (and of course cant get a new one since he doesn't have access to that email address any more). There is nothing actually stored in that old iCloud, he just wants to switch he iPad to the new account.
I'm not sure if a backup/wipe/restore will kill that old iCloud account entry or not (and I'm reticent to try since I dont want to be the one to loose something of his in the process!).

He will have to call Apple again and speak to someone in account security.

How do I delete my icloud account when I have no internet service anymore

I've just changed from an iphone 4s to a 5C. I want to sell my phone but my iphone 4 account has been disabled and it's irreversable. I need to delete my icloud account but as I can't go online, I can't turn off 'Find my Iphone.' Everything else has been deleted but I believe that to sell the phone, I have to have de-activated the account, otherwise it's considered locked.
Can anyone advise please??
Thanks in advance

Thank you, I had already followed the stops as indicated as if I no longer have the iphone and it seems I have done everything I should have done but you have confirmed that I've done all I should have. I can't find this device on 'find my phone' it's gone from the device listing.
I really appreciate you taking the time to respond & explain, thank you.

How do I setup multiple iTunes account to view on my apple tv?

We are running apple tv 2nd gen my wife has a Mac book with all her itune library on kit and I have an iPad with my own tune library I.e. Oreo separate tune accounts. is it possible to view both on our apple tv?

I bought my ATV at the Apple store Zurich Switzerland. All the movies default to German. I hired a US movie and pressed and held the play/pause button once the movie had started but only the chapter menu displayed and there were no options to change the language (from the default German to English)
Are all movies flagged on Swiss accounts only available in German? Is there a way of pointing my ATV to a different server.

How do i remove an icloud account without signing out

I was wondering how to remove an old icloud account. I have an iphone 4s, (ios 8.1.3). a pop up keeps coming up saying to sign into your icloud account, but it is under an old email that has been deactivated for years. I have a new icloud account, but I dont know how to sign into it on my device, because when i open icloud on my device, it says "sign into ********* and everything is grey (unclickable), including the Sign Out button at the bottom. I have no idea what to do now. please help

There is no way if Find my iPhone is turned on. You must know the Apple ID and password. This is Activation Lock, an antitheft feature of iOS 7. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

HT5527 How do I cancel my iCloud account? Apple seems to be avoiding this question!

How do i CANCEL my iCloud account? I have searched for this information but Apple is not clear on this process.

You cannot actually cancel a free iCloud account from their servers; all you can do is sign out of it in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud and ignore it in future.
If you have purchased additional storage you can cancel it within 15 days of buying:
Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare. julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'.
