HT204053 iCloud setup

I used my gmail address (for some reason) when I downloaded iCloud and when I went to settings to set up iCloud it showed that it is not verified. I eventually managed to add my gmail address to my Apple account, but it still won't let me get past the notification that I should check my email. I've done this 10 times, and my gmail account has been verified. I even downloaded the paid version of iCloud using my primary email but it still shows my gmail account on setup and I can't get iCloud set up. Can somebody please assist?

HT204053 iCloud setup using old deleted email account

HT204053 In iCloud setup my apple I'd is not accepting. Getting error message it should be an email I'd, but my my apple Id is just in user I'd form? Please support.

In iCloud setup my apple I'd is not accepting. Getting error message it should be an email I'd, but my my apple Id is just in user I'd form? Please support.

I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
Thank you for any help you can give.

HT204053 I skipped icloud setup when ipad was new.So I did it on my PC. How do I log into it now from my ipad?

I got my ipad2 a year ago. They either didn't have the cloud or it was new so I skipped setup. When it became
More common or understood, I got it on my PC because my mind was stuck back in iPod world where you
Had to have a home computer as your sync tool. So I setup icloud on my PC. I can see icloud in my ipad
Settings but I don't know how to login to it. When I type icloud.com the screen says install icloud... I click it and it
Just takes me to the apple site where it tells about setup, but there's no actual setup button just more reading.
I think I need to login to the icloud so that I can invite my family members to share my calendar.
I hope someone can help me. Thank you

Are you sure you set up an iCloud account on your PC? You can only do that on a Mac or an iOS device such as your iPad.
If you do already have an iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and enter the ID you used to set up the iCloud account. If you don't have one, enter your Apple ID to create one. Then turn on your data syncing in Settings>iCloud and when prompted be sure to tap Merge to upload the data from your iPad to your iCloud account. This article gives an overview of this process: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.
Also, you can't go to icloud.com on your iPad. You have to do that from your computer. There you can sign into your iCloud account and see your data.

HT4137 iCloud setup with one Apple ID and multiple devices

iCloud setup with one Apple ID and multiple devices

What, exactly, are you trying to do? You can use the same iCloud account on as many devices as you want, as long as you don't turn on iTunes Match. Once you turn on Match, you're limited to 10 devices total.
Is this what you want to do...same iCloud account, but different iTunes/App store accounts on each device? If so, you can do that also.

I changed laptops and went from Vista to Windows 8. It requires icloud. I did icloud setup but it will not allow me access and wants to give me a new password. That is OK but it will not send me the promised password

This has been posted for almost 2 weeks and not one reply. Thanks a bunch! As a newbie to OOo and Mozilla, I am not impressed with responsiveness to support needs with either. So, the future of my new experiment with going non-Microsoft remains an open question.
Oddly enough, the problem mysteriously went away. I have followed the same routine and changed no settings. Suddenly all of the downloaded spreadsheets were no longer read-only. So I consider the matter resolved.

ICloud Setup on Mac post Mavericks upgrade results in endless do loop

iCloud Problems
So you open Internet Accounts - and delete from internet accounts [email protected] (can’t logout)
The dreaded account is gone……..
So now back to System preferences and into the iCloud icon to set User [kaiserja] as default iCloud account and cure the ills of the world.
You go back to internet accounts and get —
Ahhhh grasshopper, we have endless do loop here. Has wasted phenomenal amounts of time. Fortunately, gmail works so I can send and get mail, as do my iPhone, iPad and Exchange accounts. Think I’m going to need to switch personal mail to gmail after investing nearly 12 hours in attempting to set up an apple mail client in OSX Mavericks.
Is there a fix for this or is this just another open bug unresolved?

Rebuilding in this system, so when trying to sign in to iCloud to set up
Proper data entered and the window goes away but nothing happens
Conclude issue is with iCloud setup, so to system preferences and iCloud we go
From there we get sent to internet accounts, after clicking internet accounts, we see the screen below and delete the inactive [email protected]
(BTW have no idea what inactive means. account functions on iPhone, iPad and iCloud over safari)
After deleting the offending user account, we see
All gone so all should be golden, no? So returning to iCloud set up, we get
and opening Internet accounts and entering our apple id leads us back to here....
an obvious and not very helpful statement as I use this account on multiple devices, but just deleted it from here.
Ahhhh grasshopper, we have endless do loop here. Assuming it is keychain related, so I reset my login keychain. Lather, rinse, repeat just like shampoo instructions same errors over an over again.

I followed all of the steps to iCloud setup on PC and Photo Stream does not work

I have a Windows 7 PC, and an iphone 4. I upgraded to IOS 5 and did the iCloud setup with the download Control Panel app and set it up. However, when i take a photo with my iphone, the photo goes to my camera roll and does not go to my photo stream and there fore not to my PC photo stream folder on my PC.
So far Photo Stream does nothing. Also, Are we supposed to be able to see our photo stream if we login to iCloud? When logged in to iCloud, I see my contacts and mail and other stuff bu no Photo Stream.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jay Abbott

I figured out the answer to my question. Photo Stream will not sync unless your iphone is connected via Wi-Fi. Now I have to go find a Wi-Fi network to see if I am correct. I read the maunal, wow, what a concept.
I hope this helps others who don't read the manual but complain on the forums!

ICloud setup

Hi.
I recently had to change the email address associated with iCloud. All is well on apple website, but when I open up my iCloud window, 'account details' is shsowing the wrong email address and won't let me change anywhere but in iCloud setup, which is already changed. I want to add something to my iCloud account but I cannot because it's not recognizing my old email address. Help!

I understand that. The problem is that my iCloud preference window reflects the old email address with no option to change it to the old one. In iCloud Sys Preferences: The apple ID that the window pulls up is my old email. When I click on "Manage Apple ID" it takes me to apple site, where my apple ID is correct as melissaweir1 [at] gmail [dot] com. See window below: Thanks.

HT204053 iCloud on iPad2

ICloud is working on my MacBook Pro, but asks to be set up on both my iPhone and iPad. Set up indicated on both items, but can't get past "welcome" screen. What do I need to do?

How are you trying to set it up? Are you going to Settings>iCloud and entering your Apple ID? This guide describes how to set up iCloud on your iOS devices: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.

During iCloud setup, I was notified that an email was sent to my mail account for activation. I cannot find the e-mail.

Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.

Calendars do not merge on iCloud setup

I had to logout iCloud on my macbook pro to un lock my Apple Id password. When I logged back in and checked Calendars on iCloud setup on my macbook Pro to merge with iCloud it would not do so. Everything else, contacts, reminders, etc was ok. How can I merge my calendars with iCloud? It always merged in the past.

I suspect you mean sync rather than merge.
Please try the following...
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

I get MANY duplicate iCal events on my iOS6 iPhone when I sync with iTunes--no iCloud setup!

I get MANY duplicate iCal events on my iOS6 iPhone when I sync with iTunes. I do not have iCloud setup to sync at all. I do not have iCloud Calendars in iCal on my Mac (10.6.8), just On My Mac. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Try resetting your Sync Services. See here to reset your sync services.
Let us know how it goes.
Best wishes

Icloud setup in a pc

I downloaded the icloud setup panel for a pc but even though it appears in the networking folder I cannot open it to access the settings.
Any clue as to why?

I'm having the same problem. There's another thread where this is being addressed, but no resolution yet.
