HT204053 can i set up iCloud for my laptop from another device

I have had my laptop stolen and havent set up icloud on it. Is there a way of using another device to set up icloud on my laptop from another device so I can search for it.

No, unfortunately you cannot set up iCloud on a device from another device.

    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.

  • HT204053 Can I set up icloud services on multiple iphones under a single account? More specifically, can I use- find my iphone services -under one account?

    Can I use Find My iphone service with multiple iphones under one account? I have 4 iphones in my family and I want to monitor all phones by logging into one account!

    You can create and use different iCloud accounts on the same computer, whether they are single or multiple user.
    There is a limit of 3 accounts you can create from a device but I thought this was only iOS devices - maybe not.
    iCloud accounts can only be created using a valid email address, so I guess I'd start there to retrace what accounts you have.
    My Apple ID and iForgot.com may be useful sites for you.

  • HT204053 Can I set up iCloud on my iPhone 4s from my laptop without plugging it in?

    My iPhone 4S was just stolen and I was wondering if I can set up iCloud on it to make it easier to find.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's not possible to set up iCloud remotely on a iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. You need your device to set up iCloud on it.
    If it was stolen and you didn't turn on "Find my iPhone", unfortunately you can't track, lock or wipe it. The only thing you can do is report it to the police

  • If I set up icloud will my data from my device download onto other device on the same account via icloud?

    I Don't want my data from my phone to backup on my other devices on the same account via icloud. will this happen if I set up icloud?

    Then on the device you don't want the information uncheck the iCloud items in the list.

  • Can I set up icloud for one account on multiple PCs?

    Before I start using iCloud, I wanted to know if it would do what I really want it to do.  I have a person Windows 7 PC at home that I do most of my picture scanning and I have a work PC runing Windows XP, where I do most of my iTunes purchasing.  I also have an iPad that I use for everything I can including modifying documents using Pages. 
    I want to know the following:
    1. can I have the two different PCs set up to the same iCloud account so that they transfer things between them and to my iPad?
    2. can make changes to a document in Pages on my iPad and then instead of using iTunes as I do now, use iCloud to get it to one of my PCs so I can work on it more?
    Thanks

    No, you have to set up your account on your device.

  • How can I set up iCloud for my wife's computer and iPhone 4S when I previously set up an iCloud address for her and now can't use it in the iCloud set up?

    I set up an iCloud address for my wife, evidently before running the iCloud set up and now I can't connect her to
    an iCloud email address through the set up because it is already in use?

    I did not articulate the problem properly.  I have the sign in for Birgit on Apple BUT I am unable to set up the
    icloud.com email address for her because I had already established it before running the iCloud set up on her computer and now when I try to set up an iCloud email address for her through the iCloud application I can not do so because the email address is "already in use."  I have no idea how to meld the two.

  • HT204053 Can't set up iCloud

    I just downloaded iCloud and am attempting to sign in with my Apple ID and password but it isn't letting me- it says the "Apple ID and password is valid but is not an iCloud account." So what do I do?

    You're getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create the account on an iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or a Mac (running OS X Lion or higher).  After creating the account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

  • Can I set up iCloud for multiple devices

  • Is it possible to set up iCloud for my iPhone from my Mac?

    Basically I can't find my phone and JUST remembered that the find my phone app existed. I'm almost positive I have icloud set up on my phone, but is it possible to find it from my mac even though I technically didn't have the "find my phone" app downloaded on my phone? Or can I even just find it using the devices under my Apple ID account?

    You can track your phone if the Find my iPhone app was not installed. That app only allows you to track all your devices, but what really minds is that the Find my iPhone service was activated in Settings > iCloud. If so, you can track your device.
    To track your iPhone, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and choose Find my iPhone. You will be able to track your iPhone if Find my iPhone was activated. If not, you cannot enable Find my iPhone if you do not have the phone.

  • Can i use one icloud for back up of several devices?

    between 4 kids, wife and me, we got three ipads, 4 iphones for now and an iMac.
    previously, we used one icloud backup for my and wife's iphone.
    with family sharing, i cant find the way to have all devices seen in find my iphone AND back up to one icloud drive?
    am i missing something? Is it possible?
    if not, why the **** did apple do something as stupid as that? If I rent space, i have the right to use it as I iwish, dont I?

    No
    They all use different iCloud accounts and they will backup to their own iCloud accounts

  • Can I restore an icloud backup of photos to another device

    I had an iPhone 5 which was associated with one apple ID.  The last backup was the day before I purchased the iPhone 5s.  The new phone is associated with another Apple ID and backs up to the iCloud under the new Apple ID.  Can I retrieve the information from the old iPhone 5 by backing it up to a spare iPhone 4 so I can retrieve photos from it?  Or is there a way to get the photos from the iCloud backup to my Mac?

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to get the photos of your backup directly to your Mac, but it is a good idea to use your old iPhone 4 to retreive your photos from the backup by restoring your iPhone 4.

  • How do I turn off icloud on my iPhone from another device? My iPhone is broken and I need to do this to get a replacement apparently.

    Hi my iPhone 5 is broken and I need to switch off iCloud on it before the insurers will send me a replacement. How can I switch iCloud off on my iPhone from a computer or iPad? thank you

    Try either of these
    You can remove it using the Find My iPhone App from an iOS device
           Sign in with the same iCloud account
                   Wipe/erase the iPhone
                          remove it from the account
    Or
    From a PC or Mac
    iCloud.com
    Get signed in with you Apple ID/iCloud account and password
      Select the Find My iPhone
      Select the "All Devices"
      Select the device
      Wipe and remove it from the account
    Best of Luck

  • HT204053 can i set up a seperate icloud for my ipad? My daughter bought my ipad, its wifi, not through a phone co. however im on her icloud and need my own i cloud for work purposes. I have my own apple id. How do i get off her i cloud and on my own?

    My daughter bought my ipad 2. She manages all our apple devices on her computer. She purchased a i cloud package for her phones but it is showing on my ipad. I have my own apple ID now, and I download apps and songs from Itunes all the time on my own id. However her I cloud is on my ipad. I need my own I cloud for work purposes and when I try to change the apple ID in setting for her I cloud its grayed out... How can I have my own i cloud on my ipad. Originally when she bought the Ipad, she set it up on her ID, She used the ipad for awhile before she got a new one. I am using this one now. She can track my ipad if I loose it. It still shows as one of her devices. Can I get my own I cloud?

    Yes of course. Jsut go to "Settings > iCloud" delete her account from your device and then start creating a new one just for you.

    Dear Apple,
    Please help me to find my iPad Air 2 64 GB and iPhone 5C 8GB. They're in IOS 8.0 maybe...I lost all of them last night. I set up icloud for my devices but i can't find them because they were not connect to the Internet. Please guide me other ways to find my "best friends". They're very important to me. Many important files for my job in here and it has sentimental value to me. My boyfriend gave it for me so i don't want to lose them. And because i just lost my iPad Air last 3 month, and now i just bought iPad Air 2 two months ago. I'm so sad and lost. I want to catch the thief to the police so bad because they keep my bag and many other important things. I can not do anything without them. Please help me and contact me via my email or my phone. Thank you very much. Hope to receive your answer soon.
