please need help of iphone experts..
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

HT204053 the maXIMUM NUMBER OF FREE accts have been activated on this iphone
what does it mean when it says the max nbr of free accts have been activated in this iphone when trying to log into icloud
Any one device can create only 3 separate iCloud accounts. This is tied to the device itself, not any user accounts. Once you have reached this limit you can only create another account by using another device - once that is done you can sign into the new account on the original device.
Why have you been creating these accounts - is it deliberate? I just wondered whether you were doing this by accident when trying to sign in.
If you sign in with an ID which has already been used to create an iCloud account you will be signed into that account. If you try to sign in with an ID which has not been used to create an iCloud account then a new one will be created (up to the limit of three). -
I receive a " the maximum number of free account have been activated on this iPhone " when I want to sign in iCloud with my Apple ID on my iphone..please someone help me..
Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts: this is tied to the hardware, not the user account, and there is no way round this.
You will have to create an iCloud account on another iOS device or Mac, then you can sign into it on your iPhone. -
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.

can not sign in to Icloud it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation
Error Message: "Cannot sign in. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad/iphone"
I encountered the same problem when I purchased a used iPad for my elderly father and couldn't set it up for him. I called Apple Support...
Apple support could NOT help me. I was told there is no way to circumvent the 3 icloud setup limit on iOS devices at their end. I was told to use a different mac or iOS device that hadn't met the 3 x limit.
So, using MY iPad I tried to do that. At first I went to Settings/iCloud. But that is your PRIMARY iCloud account (and this was MY iPad and I didn't want to screw up my own settings!) which you don't want to trash.
After some online research (iMore to be exact) I discovered you can setup a secondary iCloud account using:
Settings/Mail,Contact,Calendars --> Add Acount... -->iCloud --> Get A Free AppleID --> Birthday Q then Security Question - then Name - then Get a free iCloud email address....
After you get to the new iCloud settings page at the end of the signup process - I deselected all the tabs which made the new account "inactive" on my iPad.
Next I went to the used iPad that had the initial problems, and tapped on Settings/iCloud. I signed in with the iCloud account that was newly created and was able to then get an iCloud account to work!
I left the new iCloud account showing on my own iPad (under Mail,Contacts,Calendars) as it is inactive. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it - it may stop working on my father's iPad then. -
I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?
See this previous discussion.

ICloud Error! The maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this iPod touch.
This is seriously annoying, I've been going around in circles trying to get my music onto my bloody iPod. I can't sync because it pauses @ Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied error for ios7 devices. So my only option is to use iTunes Match and pay 40 bucks for it, but I think for iTunes match, you also need an iCloud account. Well I can't! Because when I go to sign into my iCloud using my Apple ID, it pops up with this error: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPod touch.
I'm about to give up and kill every one of Apple's employees.
I'm ready and open to everyones strategy at getting this fixed, thanks in advance.So I go to make a new Apple ID, then go to my newly downloaded iCloud Control Panel for PC, and it says that this is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud ID. I figured the only way to make an iCloud ID is to make an account on my iPod... BACK TO THE START! I can't because it gives me an error after I have created my account saying: "This device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account"
WHAT IS GOING ON, fix your stuff Apple. -
Hy. please help me. what's the problem? when i accessing icloud or find my friend:The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.
Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone. If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts). To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account. Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device. Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

How can we delete the icloud accounts from main website.Iam trying to log in to my account and it says that MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FREE ACCOUNTS ARE ACTIVATED?What can i do guys plz tell me?
You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it. If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device. Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

I tried to set up icloud on my iphone 4 and I get this message that "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone". My iphone was used by someone else before I got it. How do I deactivate these accounts or overcome this problem?
You were trying to create a new Apple ID for icloud. But once the device reaches is max allowed to create IDs then you can't create more. That's your situation now. To create a new account you must use another device or computer.
You can't deactivate or turn back the clock. -
how can i access to iCloud to my iphone because it appear to the screen of my iPhone when i try to access my iCloud that the maximum number of free account have been use already please help me
Welcome to the Apple community.
Once three iCloud accounts have been created on any iOS device, it can you no longer be used to create any more accounts, regardless of what you do to it. You will need to use a computer or another iOS device to create your account and then use the details to log into your account on your phone. -
How can I get on iCloud when it say the maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this IPad?
A maximum of three new iCloud accounts can be created on a single iOS device. If you have already created three iCloud accounts (why?) then log in using one of those to start using it.
Otherwise, you'll have to find another device to create an iCloud account on. -
I cannot sign into icloud.. It says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad. What can I do ?
You'll have to use a different device to setup iCloud, and then sign in using that account.
Is it a second hand iPad, or have you created multiple accounts on it already for some reason?
