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.

  • How can I open another iCloud account for each devices with the same apple id

    my family has 2 iPhones 1 iPad 1 Macbook and 1 iMac. I had all the devices set up with one iCloud under 1 Apple ID. Now things are getting so mixed up with pictures, videos, calendar, notes and reminders etc. 1 iPhone is also unable to sync due to not having enough storage for all our devices. Someone from Genius Bar said we can have iCloud for each device under 1 Apple ID. I backed up all pics. videos notes important docs to my iMac and MacBook then I turned off all iCloud in all of the devices now I need help to create a new iCloud account at least for my 3 mobile devices to end all the confusion. every time I try to click the button "set up iCloud on this device" I always go back to apple site with step by step by step instruction but I keep going around in a loop. Please help

    I'm not sure what they told your at the Apple store, but each Apple ID can only create a single iCloud account.  If you want separate accounts for all these devices, they will have to be created using separate IDs.  Note: you can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as your iTunes store account.  The iCloud ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services.
    To create an account, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID.  If you want to migrate a copy of the current iCloud data to the different accounts, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the devices keeping the current account will not be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?

    How do i delete my iCloud account from my iPad with an updated Apple ID?
    It requires i log into FindMyiPad to delete the iCloud account however the Apple ID has changed therefore the username/password no longer exists.
    This is just sending me in circles to log into to a non-existant apple id with no password to delete my iCloud so i can log in with my updated apple ID.

    Settings/iTunes and App Store log out then log in with new ID.  you might want to change ID in iMessage, FaceTime and Siri and delete the cloud account and create one with new ID.  remember apps are forever linked to the ID used to download them and can only be updated with that ID

    I've tried my best to troubleshoot. . . opening in safe mode nothing seems to work.
    In the problem report, this is the error that stood out:

    Hi there navicin79,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the articles below helpful. The first thing I would try is reinstalling iTunes as outlined in the first article.

    How does one go about creating an icloud account from itunes ID?  I don't seem to get past the reset password options for mi itunes ID.

    You can't create an iCloud account on a PC. You must create the account on a Mac running Lion or newer, or an IOS device.

  • HT204053 How can I delete an icloud account on a particular device?

    I had bought an Ipda and signed in with my apple id/icloud id. I have recently given that ipad to my mom and got another one for myself. I want her to keep that apple id and iclould account and i want to create a new icloud id for myself on my new device. The problem is on the new device i had already signed in with my icloud id and apple id. Is there a way to delete the icloud id account on the new device and sign in with another one without deleting all of the content in the cloud so my mom doesn't lose anything on her ipad? i dont mind if things get deleted from the new ipad i am using.
    thank you!

    Sure, on your device, just go the the iCloud account in settings, select it, then choose delete at the bottom.  That removes it form your device, but does nothing to the iCloud account itself.  Other than mail, nothing will change on your device, and absolutely nothing will change on your Mom's device.
    Now log back in with your new AppleID and it will create a new iCloud account for your device.
    If you had a backup of your device in the old iCloud account, your Mom can go into her storage settings on her iCloud account on her device and delete your backup file (or you could delete it from your device before you delete that iCloud account).

  • HT204053 How can I delete my iCloud account which I do not remember anything about the information that I entered about 4 years ago. It always asks my birth date but it seems I did not enter my correct date how can I bypass this question???

    You cannot delete the account from the server (partly to prevent the username from becoming available again and some-one else using it to pretend to be you).. Having disengaged your devices from it, go to http://icloud.com and delete any data in there such as contacts and calendars. Then just ignore it.

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

  • HT204053 How do I access multiple iCloud accounts

    How do I access multiple iCloud accounts with a single IPAD?

    You can set up an additional "secondary" iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar>Add Account>iCloud and entering the ID and password.  There are some restrictions on secondary accounts. 
    Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice.  Also, Push Mail only works for the Primary Account; Secondary Account Mail is Fetch.

    I have an iPhone 3G and a Windows7 laptop.  I use iTunes for all my music.  How do I create an iCloud account??
    I currently can't afford to upgrade my phone.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1, and iCloud requires iOS 5 or later, so you can't use iCloud with the iPhone 3G

  • HT204053 how do i delete an icould account if i have two phones

  • HT204053 How do I change my iCloud account to my new apple ID?

    I previously used my moms apple ID and had iCloud set up under her apple ID. I just got a new Mac and am setting up everything under my own apple ID. My iPhone and iPad are linked under the previous ID and I don't knwo how to change the account under iCloud. When it says DELETE ACCOUNT, does it just delete it from my device or does it deleteit for good?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Deleting the account only deletes if from the device, not from iCloud.  Any other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.
    Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone [iPad}.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
