HT201318 I did not renew my iCloud account, and it's gone, how do I renew

Ok, I have to admit, I got the emails, but never really read them..... so I don't have an iCloud account anymore..... help - how do I get it back?

Are you talking about iCloud or MobileMe? MobileMe closed almost a year ago and you should have migrated to iCloud befire 1 August. If you did, then your emails, calendars and contacts (though not the contents of your iDisk) would have been transferred to an iCloud account - as said, this is free and continuing without your needing to renew it.
If you did not migrate a MobileMe then its entire contents are now deleted and not recoverable by any means. You can sign into System Preferences (or settings)>iCloud (10.7.2 or iOS5/6 required) with your ex-MobileMe address to open a new iCloud account but obviously it won't contain any data previously held on MobileMe.

    If you bought the machine new yourself, and did not enter a password when configuring it, leave the field blank.
    If you bought it used, then you need to reset the password, as described here:

  • I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared.  How do I find them?

    I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared.  How do I find them?

    Hello reallilybart,
    Thank you for the question. You can export the calendar events from your previous iCloud account and then import them into your new iCloud account.
    First, use these steps to export your events from your original account and make note of where you save the file to:
    Export a calendar’s events
    In Calendar, click the calendar’s name.If you don’t see your calendars, click Calendars.
    Choose File > Export > Export.
    Choose a location for the file, and then click Export. The events are exported in an iCalendar (.ics) file.
    Next, quit the Calendar application, and log out of your original iCloud account in System Preferences > iCloud.  Then log in with your new iCloud account and open Calendar.  The final step is to import the file into the calendar for your new iCloud account
    Use these steps to import the calendar events:
    Import events into a calendar
    If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
    Choose File > Import > Import.
    Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
    Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
    You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.

    If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
    If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device. 
    Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase.  If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them.  You'll have to purchase them again.

  • Hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone. how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?

    hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
    how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
    the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
    like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
    before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
    first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
    Many thanks

  • I bought an used iPhone 4s, previous owner did not delete their icloud account. Everything is linked to their icloud, how do I delete it without their password?

    I have my own icloud account, but I can't add it because I can't delete the previous owner's without their password. How do I get rid of it?!? They aren't responding to my message and obviously they probably don't want to give their icloud account password to some stranger. All their contacts and emails are hooked onto their icloud..

    tell them to go to icloud.com sign in and select find my iphone.select corresponding device then

  • How do I delete the iCloud assigned to my iPhone that is not my main iCloud account and shares the same email address!? No Password.

    I have my main iCloud account for iTunes and Mail etc.
    On my iPhone I seem to have initiated a secondary iCloud account with a different AppleID, yet receive emails to the other/same email account as the primary iCloud account on my Mac.
    I have gone through every password ever used and simply cannot access the account. Also I have requested the password reset verification via email, that gets sent, but never arrives.
    I can access both email accounts without a problem.
    If anyone has an idea what to do it would be magnificent.
    ...security questions cannot be answered since I took an alternative birthdate for security and have forgotten it. #seemedlikeagoodideaatthetime

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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(or Apple ID Support), 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.

  • HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
    If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
    If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
    If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
    Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

  • I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

  • HT4910 I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I'm not familiar with the PC end of things, but in a recent post I read about someone using notes.exe to access notes (I'm assuming they knew what they were talking about) - would your installation of icloud app(s) include a notes program?  At least do this, log into icloud.com with a computer browser and look in mail.  There should be a notes "folder" listed along with the others you may have defined.  Are you notes there?  If not, that's the problem.  Be sure notes is turned on in Settings>icloud on your device.  if they are there, then it looks like the PC end is the problem - but I can't provide help concerning that.

  • HT204053 I changed my AppleID when I bought my iPad. It did not change on my iCloud account on my phone. How do I get my new ID on my phone iCloud?

    I need assistance. I changed my AppleID when I bought my iPad but it did not change in iCloud on my iPhone4 so I keep getting error messages. How do I get iCloud to change to my new apple ID.

    Save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  This deletes the account and any synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.  If you are changing accounts, choose Keep on My iPhone when you delete Account, then choose Merge when you sign into the other account to upload the data to the new account.

  • How can I use my old MobileMe email address if I did not migrate to icloud by the deadline?

    I had a mobile me account that I did not migrate to icloud.  Now when I try and set up an icloud account using the old mobileme email address, it says that address is already in use. I then try and access it but the password doesn't work and it says mobileme is closed. When I try and reset the password, it says an email has been sent to the email on file...which is an old mobileme address that I cannot access.
    How can I get this email address set up in icloud? 

    Nice idea - I tried it but it doesn't seem to work (at least not for me).
    So here are the details in case, you can spot something more I could do....
    When MobileMe was live
    MobileMe ID was [email protected]
    AppleID (to make iTunes purchases) was [email protected]
    When iCloud went live (and MM was still alive)
    iCloud account was created based upon AppleID - [email protected]
    iCloud would not create [email protected] as was already in use (by me)
    iCloud would not merge [email protected] as iCloud does not merge
    MobileMe migration to iCloud option was not taken
    Deleted all data out of MobileMe account (mail, calendar, contacts, gallery)
    Deleted MobileMe mail account off of all devices
    When MM died
    I received notification that I had not migrated my MM account
    iCloud was happily working as Contacts/Calendar sharer using my AppleID of [email protected]
    Weeks later on Mac running 10.8
    System Preference - iCloud, already logged in with AppleID of [email protected]
    Then ticked the untick Mail box
    Long wait with small grey whirling cog box, stating "Loading". Eventually a BLANK message box with OK which then disappeared on a timeout.
    System Preference - Mail...  Re-added [email protected] (now picked up as iCloud account)
    Mail - Accounts.... Re-added [email protected] BUT got message "Mail can'y connect to the account..."
    So tried logging into www.icloud.com (using AppleID of [email protected] where my contacts/calendar now reside).  Clicked on Mail icon and received "@me.com Address Needed" message

  • HT5622 I did not choose "use icloud" option for my initial setup.  so, it is creating for not enough space in my ipad.  How do I go back and set up icloud to store data?

    I did not choose "use icloud" option for storing during my initial setup.  How can I reset icloud account, so it can be used for storing.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you are planning on using iCloud to store files, forget about iCloud and use a cloud storage service like SkyDrive or Dropbox. iCloud is focused on information sync between the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and PC instead of storing files like MobileMe. It's not worth using iCloud for this.
    If you still want to set up iCloud, open Settings > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID and follow its steps

  • I have "find my iphone" installed on my iphone 4, which I lost last weekend. I opened the app once, but do not have an icloud account. Is it possible to find my phone? If so, how?

    (I don't think I can set up an iCloud account on my computer because my macbook is too old to update to an operating system that supports iCloud, but could set it up on my brother's computer or something if it would be helpful.) This is just really frustrating because I know my phone is somewhere in either Ridgefield or Danbury, Connecticut, and like I said I do have "find my iphone" installed - just not sure if it's useful at all without already having the iCloud account - but I have no idea where/how to start looking.

    The Find My iPhone app does not have to be installed on the device. The app only helps you locate other iOS devices from your device. What has to have happened is for you to have setup iCloud on the device and turn on Find My iPhone there. If that is on, you do not have to worry about installing iCloud on the computer, just open your browser and go to www.icloud.com. From there, log in to your iClooud account and you should be able to locate your device.
    If you did not set up iCloud on the iPhone, there is no way for you to track the device. Make sure you change all of your passwords for all accounts you have on the phone, report it to the police and your carrier.
