How to upgrade a non-icloud apple id

I have an iTunes apple id. I successfully downloaded and installed the iCloud client. However, when trying to log into iCloud I get the following error message, "Apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account".
How do I upgrade my iTunes apple id to an iCloud apple id?
In case it is of help I do not have any Apple devices, but would like to make use of the iCloud to hold my photos and music, and use the family share option that comes with OS8.1, so my family can see my photos using their Apple devices.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

R4: I have iCloud acct and tried something diff: to save vcard from Mail ("iCloud/All iCloud) on Mac 10.10.1 and when point to folder to save get error:
"You might not have permission to write in the selected location or the volume could be full. Contacts could not write the exported vCard"
There are 140 contact items in list. I DO have permissions as seen in GET INFO (read and write privileges in folder trying to move to); and on this iMac I have currently used 111 GB of 1TB drive. What else does that mean?

Will iBooks sync between iPhone and iPad with non-iCloud Apple ID?

I have two Apple IDs. One is an email address that I've used for all my iTunes purchases. The other is a .Mac account that I've had for I think ten years. The .Mac account has, of course, been converted to an iCloud account. I got an iPad recently and have bought some books from the iBooks store using my non-iCloud Apple ID. I have books on both my iPad and iPhone and have Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections enabled on both devices. Both devices are connected to my iCloud account. But the two devices don't sync. Is this because my purchases were made with my non-iCloud account? Is there any way to get them to sync?

I don't think you are missing anything...
On the iOS devices tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Photo Stream off then back on then reset the devices.
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.
See if your photos sync now between the PC, iPad, and iPhone.

After I've set-up my iOS device with an Apple ID for iCloud, how can I change the iCloud Apple ID?

   After updating my iPad 2 & iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I set-up each one for iCloud, but inadvertently used 2 different Apple ID's (one me.com and one that I typically use for Apple purchases). I realize this will prevent the two devices from syncing. When I try to change the iCloud Apple ID, it is grayed out, and I can't find any way to re-set it on my iPad. Does anyone know how to re-set this ID so both devices are operating on the same ID?
I have a second question (though not as pressing as the first). I'd like to use my me.com ID to sync calendars, contacts, etc., but another ID to sync my Apple purchases (apps, etc.). This way my wife and I could share apps, but each sync our iPhones and iPads to our own content. Does anyone know if this type of dual-ID set-up is possible on one device?
   I know there's a lot of confusion out there, but I'm trying to keep in mind that this is a huge upgrade and transition for Apple, so it will all work out, and should be fantastic when it does. It'll just take a little time to sort out. Thanks for any suggestions! -Bob-

Hi Jeremy,
    That is my understanding. Clicking "Delete Account" is similar to logging out of iCloud with that account.
   But your situation is different from mine, as I had been using my @me.com account for "Find My iPhone" only. I ended up using my @me.com account for iCloud and another account for my Apple iTunes Store purchases.
   That's correct--it will not delete your purchases. You can still back-up to your Mac with iTunes using the same account you used to purchase your Apple stuff. -Bob-

How to use my non-iCloud email with iCloud calendar events

Is there a way to use my regular email address (non iCloud) to receive iCloud invites?
My contacts don't know my iCloud account, they only know my regular email address so they will send messages, calendar invites, etc to my regular email which is not my iCloud account.
Although I can accept invites to any account, there isn't the same level of integration with iOS and OS X apps that you get when the invite is sent to an iCloud account. (i.e. they don't appear in Calendar, you have to accept them from an email and it sends you off to iCloud.com) or you have to download the .ics file to add it, etc.
Is there a way to link that regular email address to my iCloud account so that invites and messages to that email are treated as though they were sent to my regular iCloud account and I can accept, reject directly from the calendar applications on either my iOS or OS X device?
Thanks!

You can sign in with your @me.com address in System Preferences>iCloud and check Mail in the checklist there - this will reactivate the address, though you will not be able to retrieve any data previously stored on MobileMe.

How can I change the iCloud apple id that is currently in my iPhone?

My sisters and I currently share one iTunes account so that we can share all of the apps and songs that we purchase between our respective ipods/iphones. However, as a result of iCloud, several problems have arisen from this setup: namesly that my younger sister's iPod recieves all of the photos from my photo stream and all of the iMessages from my iPhone. I have been told that it is possible to set up a seperate iTunes account to use only with iCloud, while maintaining another shared iTunes account for the iTunes store. However, when i attempt to change the account currently entered as my iCloud account, my phone will not let me. Does anyone know how I could accomplish that? Or have any other suggestions about how to correct the overall problem? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple community.
iCloud is a separate account to iTunes, you can change your iCloud account and still keep the iTunes account you are using now. To change your iCloud account, you need to delete it from settings> iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete account button at the bottom.
You can now create a new account in the iCloud settings.

How to upgrade mpb memery from apple shop? just carry in?

I have mbp which bought in 2009, have duo core and 4g ram. Now want to upgrade to 8G, how to do it? Carry in to apple store? How can I know the cost?

A full-service Vendor like Apple will probably charge more than the prices you see on the Web from reputable Mac-centric Vendors.
Whether the Apple store's convenient service and "All Apple" is worth that premium, only you can decide.
Many Mac Owners try to save money and install memory themselves.
Some Mac Owners prefer the peace of mind they get from having the Apple Store do it.

How to upgrade e50 firmware via apple mac?

I own an E50 (RM-170) which is currently running v 06.41.3.0.
How do I tell what the most up-to-date firmware is?
And how do I upgrade the firmware into the phone using an Apple Mac? (I saw the updater software for Windows but couldn't see a Mac version).
Thanks
Peter Crow, New Zealand

Check on the Nokia software update site for your specific model. Be aware that they release firmware for different regions at different times.
As for upgrading via a Mac, that isn't available as yet.
Don't bother trying through Parallels. I have and it doesn't work.

HT204053 I created a different Apple ID for Icloud on my new IPhone and having problems with getting Itunes,etc. How do I change my Icloud Apple ID to be the same ID and password?

I created a different Apple ID for my Icloud on my new IPhone (said a free email was available or something similar) rather than the other choice offered of using my same existing Apple ID. Now I keep having issues accessing my account and my password isn't working to access Icloud to download Itunes. Can I undo this new account I created and just use my one existing Apple ID? This is my first IPhone and confused with this part of the setup! Thanks.

If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36). If you don't, you may be out of luck.
