Go to "Settings > iCloud", add your account, scroll down, click on "Storage & Backup", turn on iCloud backup and create a new backup.

    How does one open an Icloud Account?

    You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  You do this by going to Settings>iCloud (on an iOS device) or System Preferences>iCloud (on a Mac) and signing in with your Apple ID.
    Once you create your account you will then be able to sign into the account using the ID on your PC.

  • HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

    To change the ID for:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
    iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data. 

  • HT204053 How do you change the iCloud email address?

    Made a typo when adding to icloud and address is incorrect.  How do I change it?
    Thanks!

    You can't change an iCloud email address.  To create a new address you would have to create a new iCloud account.
    You can, however, create an email alias to use in your current iCloud account which will receive email in your current iCloud inbox.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a.

  • HT204053 how do I open my icloud on my iphone 4s?

    I have tons of pictures and I would like to free up space on my phone, so is icloud a safe place to do tha? and how do I do that? Thanks

    Think of iCloud as a syncing service, not a backup service (although it will back up your phone).  It will not permanently store your photos.  Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  And photos stored in your backup will be overwritten when you delete them off your phone and back up again.
    There are other cloud-based services you can use for this such as Dropbox, or an image hosting service such as Flikr, Picassa, Smugmug, etc.

    iCloud does not support Windows XP.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
    What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.

  • TS4425 when opening the iCloud settings I do not see an option for the iCloud T&Cs (OS 10.8 & iOS6)

    when opening the iCloud settings I do not see an option for the iCloud T&Cs (OS 10.8 & iOS6)

    which Apple says should appear automatically once the update is completed...
    I am perplexed where you read that. It isn't true. The iPad is synced to the data available to all devices using the iCloud account if you have authorized it in the settings; PhotoStream, Contacts, Mail, Calendars, etc. That is how the iCloud works.

  • How do I open up  Icloud?

    1) I'm trying to put my ITunes songs on ICloud by using ITunes Match.
    How do I open up ICloud to see what is in there? I want to see what is actually there - which of my songs from my ITunes library are there.
    I have an IMac. I just recently downloaded Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 before I did the iTunes Match and iCloud. (I previously had Snow Leopard OS).
    2) My playlists in ITunes now have  4 lines (a musical bar) and a musical note to the left of the name of each playlist. Does that mean the playlist  is in ICloud? If not, what does it mean?

    1) OK, but how do I know which of the songs I have in ITunes is also on the icloud?
    2)  I have another question.
    I have added a song to my ITunes Music. (On my IMac).  I then tried to add that song to one of my playlists on ITunes (again on my iMac).  But it would not do it. I received a message that says:
    "icloud playlists can only contain songs from your icloud music library. If you continue then
    (this particular playlist)
    will be removed from icloud and will only be available on this computer."
    How can I get this song on icloud so that I can then add it to my iTunes playlist?
    Will it then let me add that song to the Itunes playlist if it is on iCloud?

  • HT204053 how can i move an icloud email address from one ipod to another?

    Hi
    My kids have ipods and wanted icloud activated.  Foolishly I set up an icloud email account but used my son's name on my daughter's ipod.  How can I switch the icloud email account to my son's ipod?
    Thanks,

    I don't really understand iCloud, but I have an Apple ID since both my kids are underage (8 and 11).  They share my Apple ID, but have different Ipods.  Can/Should I have separate iCloud emails for them?  To recap, I have 1 Apple account, but have 2 kids, a boy and a girl.  How do I have separate id's for their individual ipods using icloud when I have one Apple ID?

  • How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

    As the title suggests...
    I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer.  (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding  only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time. 
    How do I do that on an AEBS?
    In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines? 
    TL,DR version:  How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.  

    You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.

  • How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's Imac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!

    How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!  I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one.  I tried his security questions to no avail.
    Thanks

    Since that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will  need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.
