HT4436 can I sign up for an icloud account if I only have a PC

I am trying to set up iCloud on my PC.  I have created an applie ID, but when I try to sign into iCloud, it tells me that it is not an iCloud account id. All the faqs tell me I have to sign up for iCloud from an apple device...is there a way to create an iCloud account from a PC???

No, you must have an Apple device, (Mac or iDevice)

  • HT4436 I have a secretary who I would like to have access to my icloud calendar for filling empty appointments.  Can she sign up for an icloud account without owning any apple product?

    I have a question about wanting my secretary to have access to my Icloud calendar so she can see open times.  Can she subscribe to get icloud account without having an iphone, ipad, or mac?

    To create an iCloud account it must be set up with an Apple ID on a device with iOS5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.
    Each iOS device can create three iCloud accounts.

  • HT4436 Can I sign up for iCloud using a different iPhone

    I lost my iPhone just now. I haven't turn in the iCloud feature from my phone. Now, when I try to log in to find my iPhone app with my apple ID it's saying that apple ID is valud but no iCloud account. How do I sign up for an iCloud account using a different iPhone or computer?

    Mac: System Preferences > iCloud or System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > + to add an account... > iCloud

  • I bought a MacBook Pro I can not sign up for the updates, because I do not have credit card. Only own debit card, but the system does not accept. What can I do?

    You do not need to "sign up" for downloading updates. Just run Software Update and let it access them directly thru the App Store.

  • You have signed in to an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this documents

    Hi,
    All my Pages and Numbers documents on iCloud.com have suddenly become impossible to open. On iCloud.com (from IE10 or Google Chrome 40/Win 8) their file names appear scrambled (encrypted?) and if I try to open them I get this error message: "You have signed in to an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this documents". I can still open the files with Pages (2.5.2) and Numbers (2.5.2) on my iPad 2 (iOS 8.2). I haven't tried to access from my Macs.
    I have tried to disconnect Pages on my iPad from iCloud, delete all files from Pages on iCloud.com, and reactivate the iCloud sync on my iPad. The files are uploaded but I still have the same problem.
    I should say that I also cannot access my iCloud Drive ("Can't load iCloud Drive. There was a problem loading the application") or Photos (same error message).
    The problem seems to be fairly recent as I have worked on my documents on iCloud.com for weeks without any problem (last successful access two days ago).
    Since my last successful access I have updated my iPad to iOS 8.2 and modified a few Pages files from it.
    Does anyone now what the problem might be?

    Goto settings, iCloud, click on your user account at the top, login with your password, if you can successfully login, you will see your files are no longer encrypted. I had this issue when I upgraded to 8.2 on my iPad, for some reason I had access to iCloud drive, but the files were encrypted, it never prompted that something was wrong with my token.
    Cheers

  • HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer?  I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac.  I do not have a mac but an older PC

    Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer?  I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac.  I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
    Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

  • How can I sign out of my iCloud account from a macbook I no longer have access to?

    I got a new macbook recently and neglected to sign out of my iCloud account on the old macbook before I erased and reset it.  Now eveytime I open a new Safari page on my iPhone, both macbooks show up with the Safari windows that are still "open".  I want to remove my old mac from my iCloud account and have removed it from Find My iPhone but the Safari link still shows up.  This is driving me bonkers.

    If you mean the iCloud tabs for your old Mac, these will normally be cleared after 14 days.  Give it a couple of weeks and see if they don't disappear on their own.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372:
    "If you no longer have access to the device that shared the tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 14 days, if the tab is not updated."
    Also, seeing the iCloud tab doesn't mean it's still signed into your account.  It just means that the tab hasn't been cleared yet.  If you completely erased it should no longer be signed into your account.

  • I cannot turn on my notes in icloud without signing up for a new account.  I already have a functioning account, but just want to turn on another function.  What do I do?

    I already have a functioning icloud account that syncs my information from my iphone to my PC.  I don't want to start a new account, but it seems that Apple is forcing me to open a new account to merely turn on a new function, which is my notes.  Any way to turn this on without having to sign up for a new account?  I have too many accounts already to keep up with. I don't need Apple forcing me into another one.  Any help is appreciated.

    I have the same problem. My apple account uses my yahoo address,which works fine. But when I try to turn on notes in my iPad's iCloud settings, iPad tells me I need a me.com email address, giving me only two c hoices: create or cancel .... Then when I try to create a me.com email address, iPad tells me it has already been created ... What to do?

  • Can't sign up for a new account

    I'm not sure why, but I can't make a new Skype account. I fill in all the details properly (triple-checked everything). No errors. But when I click the "I accept" button at the bottom, nothing happens. I refreshed and tried multiple times. Same thing. Also noticed that clicking other links on the same page (even the Skype logo home button) don't do anything either.
    What's the deal?

    I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did.
    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • I can't sign into my different iCloud account to update iPhoto! it will only let me use my dads old one and asks for the password. help!?

    I am signed into my apple id account. When I go to update iPhoto, it asks to sign into my dad's old account in order to update. It will not let me change the apple id to mine, it only asks for the password which is impossible to get a hold of. Literally. Help?!

    That would be because the licensed copy of iPhoto on your Mac belongs to your father. Only he can update the app. Was this once his Mac?

  • Can't sign in to my iCloud account on my iPad air

    I recently bought an iPad air, obviously I had to create an Apple ID and iCloud account when I set it up, but I don't know how to access my iCloud from my iPad, when I try to sign in on iCloud.com I get asked to instal it on my device and when I click on it the page seems to reload to the same page, this might have a simple solution but have pity on someone who is quite new to using apple technology!

    You have to go to icloud.com from your computer browser, not from your iPad.  When you do, you won't bet the prompt to install iCloud.

  • Can I sign up for an @me email if I already have an @icloud email? Is it the same thing? Also, can I

    receive all my icloud emails through my gmail account? As in, if I give someone my @icloud email..will I receive it in my gmail inbox? Thanks for the help!!

    No. There no longer is @me.com email accounts, only @icloud.com accounts. Mail addressed to your iCloud.com address do not get delivered to your GMail account unless you set up a Mail Forward to the GMail account.
