HT204053 i cant open an icloud account

trying to open an icloud account. downloaded the control panel on pc windows 7 , go to open icloud and it asks me for login info.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

    i cant verify the icloud account on my phone anyone have any ideas

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account .
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.

  • HT204053 How does one open an ICloud account? I do have a valid an Apple ID. Please Help

    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.

  • Can you open an iCloud account without creating a new or using an old AppleID?

    Got a new iPhone and had to skip the part of establishing an icloud account till later, cause I was having internet trouble, so it asked me to continue and go back later, then I saw that as I went into icloud in settings later that it is asking for me to creat another Apple ID if I want to set up an icloud account or use one I have for me? Very confusing and not very user friendly.  What options do I have?  Must I have an a new Apple ID to open an icloud account. I already have an iTunes account that is associated with my iphone and my mac and my AppleID.
    My daughter is the one I want to set up an icloud account for so she can back up to it and to use the other features, but I dont want her items to be backed up on my icloud account. The issue is that I don't want her to be able to have her own iTunes account to make purchases, as she is too young, I will need to monitor them for a couple of years yet. I am not sure what to make up of the set up process. The set up instructions are telling me that for that phone to get a new icloud account, I must create a new Apple ID for it or use an existing one. The problem with creating a new one, is she will then be able to set up her own iTunes and appstore accounts and make her own unsupervised purchase I believe?
    Presently as its setup now using her old iPod touch and now new iPhone, I create her a playlist in my iTunes account and we then sync her ipod touch or phone to it and she can then get those features and apps, photos that we assign to just her phone.
    What is my best option for this situation or do I even have any? I didn't understand the supports page steps in getting an iCloud account and using it in my scenario. it states:
    Using the same Apple ID for Store purchases and iCloud is recommended for most users. To use the same Apple ID, follow these steps:  iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:   When you first set up your device running iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you use for iTunes in the setup screens. It will be used for Store purchases and iCloud.  If you skipped the setup process, enter your Apple ID in Settings > iCloud and Settings > iTunes and App Stores.iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:   or  You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:  iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
  When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud. In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.  So must I now create a new Apple ID or can I just set up an iCloud account without any AppleID associated with her phone. And if I need a new AppleID, do I need to link it to a credit card?

    go to the store and get an iTunes gift card.
    you can create an account using that instead of a credit card.

  • HT4859 I need help! I know longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with and I can't remember my password. I have tried asking Apple for help and no one has been able to! Any advice

    I need help! I no longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with many years ago and I can't remember my password anyway! However it continues to backup all my stuff. But I have no access to go in and delete items or manage my account. The pop-ups now tell me that my account is full and it will no longer be able to backup items. I would like to go in and delete items that I do not need to make room, but I can't! I have personally gone into the Apple genius store and presented the problem as well as called Apple support and talked with a live person. And no one has been able to help me. I cannot believe that I have basically lost my iCloud accessibility? I have a lot of money vested in music and priceless pictures! Please can someone help me?

    I don't know what you mean by "closed" - icloud accounts stay in existence even if you disconnect all devices from the account.  You can't delete them.
    If you don't recall the ID or the password, and if the link above doesn't provide another way to get to the account, then you are out of luck.

  • Can anyone tell me how to open an icloud account?

    Just purchased my 1st itunes video.  Thought it would sync automatically to my ipod but no, was told it is in the icould and I must download it from there.  Downloaded icloud to my pc but cannot find a single article on how to open an icloud account!

    Your iCloud account details (user name and password) are exactly the same as your iTunes account, just sign in with those at https://www.icloud.com/#.
    If you don't have an iTunes account then you can sign up in the iTunes store.
    Edit: lol, if you bought the video from iTunes then obviously you have an account already!

    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers

  • 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.

  • TS1389 i cant open my itunes account it keeps giving me an error

    I keep getting an error message stating reinstall or something is missing and cant open it up????

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
