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

Still can not set up icloud on my iphone 5. tells me account is not verified. I just went through changing my user name and password. now what?
Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. 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.

TS3988 can i set up icloud on my iphone 3gs ios 4.1??
can i set up icloud on my iphone 3gs ios 4.1??
No, not without updating to iOS 6. (iCloud requires iOS 5 or higher, but at this point you would have to update to iOS 6 as iOS 5 is no longer available.) Follow this guide to update from iOS 4: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972.

I cannot set up icloud on my iphone 4s. When I go to settings it always says check your email but when I check my email there is none sent to me.
Check your spam folder to be sure it isn't there. If not, try going to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and Manage your account. There should be a link there to resend the verification email.

HT4759 Can I set up iCloud on my iPhone remotely, without my iPhone.
I have misplaced my phone and want to see if I can set up iCloud on it and hopefully locate my phone. Can I set it up from my PC?
No. It needs to be done on the device with it in your posession before you lose it.

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. -
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.

HT204053 Despite setting up iCloud on my iPhone and iPad can't access all Contacts
Why am I unable to access contacts in my iPad from my iPhone despite setting up iCloud?
Yes. Access via a browser, without the app, can only be done from a Mac or a PC, not an iOS device.

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite
I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.I found another way to correct this...
1) Select Message, then go to Preferences,
2) a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name. This may likely be your Apple ID ****@me.com
5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages. -
I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?
To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID. If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account. If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

when i want to set up icloud on my iphone, it tells "can not sign in maximum number of free acounts have been activated on this iphone" what can i do now?!
You won't be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone as the maximum number of accouts have already been created. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.
