This is so confusing... I'm not sure how this works... I just saved my music to the cloud and paid for itunes match but I don't understand how it can work if I can't access it or sign into it with out owning a mac/apple product. Please help.

You need an account to use iCloud or how would it know what data is yours? or who you are.

Can i still sign up for icloud if the phone was stolen

Can I still put I cloud on a phone that was stolen

No, you can't.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

Hi Bill!
If the decrypt went without any interruptions or anything that looked like an error then your computer is probably OK. The fact that none of your accounts can log in leads me to believe you may some corruption somehwere else.
Find your software installation CD or DVD that came with your Mac or that you purchased in a store and insert it into the drive. You can boot to it by holding down the "C" key at startup.
After you pass the initial screen for language you'll see the software installation page. Ignore this. Instead look under the menus for Disk Utility. Run Repair Permissions and Repair Disk. Restart and try to log in again.
If that doesn't work then restart from the disk again and look for the menu option to reset an administrator password. If you can get into just one admin account then you should be able to reset passwords for any others.
If resetting an admin password doesn't work then I suggest you look into using a third party tool such as DiskWarrior from Alsoft <http://www.alsoft.com>. It is an excellent tool for repairing disk problems. If you have Apple Care then you may have also receieved a CD for TechTool. You can run that as well.
Hope this helps!

Any one have any clues ????

Hi!
I encountered a problem a few weeks ago which is a bit like yours. In my case my Apple ID stopped working after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I finally found out it was because of the fact that my Apple ID has in fact been an alias within my much older MobileMe/iCloud account. And they weren't able to merge or reset the account at first. It took me a lot of mails and a few calls to get them to resetting the account and changing my Apple ID (for the Apple Store, iTunes, etc.) to a different, non-iCloud related email adress.
Anyway, maybe you can call the Apple Support and kindly ask them to reset the password for this ominous @me.com account so you can finally start using it.
Did you try logging into iCloud using your adress with the appendix @me.com because not everybody has got the @icloud.com ending yet. Technically it's no problem to create a new iCloud account. I can understand though that you'd like to get "your name" back .

HT204053 Can i sign up for iCloud on my Windows PC?

I have not signed up for iCloud yet and would like to but I am curently having trouble doing so. I do not have an iPod or anything right now because i sold mine a while back. I am planning on buying a new one and would like to get all the songs i previously bought onto my computer now. It is not showing me a Sign Up link anywhere for iCloud though. I would like to know if and how I can sign up for iCloud and get my purchased music on my PC.

No, you need an OSX or IOS device to sign up to iCloud, but ......

...... iCloud does not do that, you need iTunes Match, which does and works on a PC.

Why did my apps disappear when I signed up for iCloud?

I signed up for iCloud for my iPhone and when I finished setting it up, the look of the buttons on my phone changed and the apps for things like Twitter and Facebook were gone. Are they still on my phone? How do I find them? Do I have to re-download? Help!

I just figured it out. My 2 pages of apps turned into 3, even though page 2 only has 1 app on it. My missing apps are on page 3. Why? Don't care.

HT5622 Can't sign up for iCloud because ID is tied to old email

The Apple ID I've been using for the last six years is tied to an old email that I can't remember the password for anymore. This means that I've never been able to sign up for iCloud because I have no way of clicking the verification email. I've never cared until Yosemite came out and has all these awesome features that need iCloud to work. This is the ID i've go my iPhone using. Is there like a procedure to get and ID switched to a new email?

You can change the primary email account associated with your Apple ID to a new email account which you have access to as explained here: Change your Apple ID. Once you've done that, you can create your iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud, signing in with the ID, then checking the items you want to sync with iCloud. Once you have created the account on your Mac, go to Settings>iCloud on your iOS devices, sign in with the same ID, then turn on the items that you want to sync with iCloud. There are more details on setting up iCloud here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.
If you are sign into the old ID for other services, you'll need to sign out, then sign back in with the updated ID. For example, if you are signed into the old ID for iMessage on your phone, you would go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the updated ID.

ICloud tells me I need to sign up for iCloud, but where can I do that?

iCloud tells me I need to sign up for iCloud, but where can I do that? It is installed on my PC, and I have an Apple ID. The iCloud setup page does not explain simply how to sign up for iCloud. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Taken from the main screen of the iCloud.com website:
"To use iCloud, first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion."

Can i get my old mobile me email name if i sign up for iCloud now

can i get me old mobile me email name if i sign up for iCloud now

Try signing in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud with your MobileMe address. It's possible that you may be able to open an iCloud account using it, though as it's now several years since MobileMe closed this situation doesn't arise often and I don't know whether you will now be able to do this. When you enable Mail you should get both your @me.com address and also an @icloud.com address with the same prefix.

How can i sign up for icloud on pc

So i lost my phone but never made an icloud account, now i want to find it using "find my iphone" but I need an i cloud account. How can I sign up for icloud on pc?

It is too late to open an iCloud account and use that to find a lost iPhone. Ou had to have turned on Settings, iCloud, Find My Phone before it was lost and you must have had an iCloud account where it was registered before it was lost.
At this point there is no way to locate it.

I tried to sign in for icloud set up with my apple id, i received a message that your account limit has reached, how to get icloud access then?

i tried to sign in for icloud set up for the first time with my apple ID, But unable to get through as i receive a message saying your account limit is reached, then how to proceed.

I can't say why it should be doing this. If it persists then your only options are to set it up on another Mac or iOS device if you can (then you will be able to sign into it), or failing that to contact Support - though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

I used my husband's email for my apple ID. I just got him a new ipad but can't use the email to register. If I change my ID now, will that email be available for him on his ipad?

Hey LamFY,
Thanks for the question. The short answer is Yes. Once you change your Apple ID primary email address, the previous email address will be freed up for use with another account:

Be sure to follow all of the steps in this resource, most importantly the first step of signing out of all Apple features and services.
Thanks,

Signed up for iCloud, but now no contacts on my iPhone (3G)

My aging iPhone 3G has really gone bonkers since I signed up for iCloud.
The main problem is that my Address Book doesn't sync - in fact it's been completely deleted from the iPhone, though it's fully intact on the iMac.
After noting its erasure, I restored the iPhone to its factory settings, but to no avail.
It doesn't make any difference whether I click the Contacts checkbox under Advanced or not - still no details.
Another bizarre observation - which may provide a clue - is that when opening iPhoto with the iPhone plugged in, it shows both the old (pre-restore) name and the new (post-restore) name, as if two iPhones were connected. This does not happen in iTunes, which only shows the new name.
Given my hopeless memory for phone numbers now (due in no small part to total lack of use), this iPhone has now been rendered useless for its primary function as a phone, except to call home - the only number I can remember! (What a chump I feel!)
Anyone have the same/similar problems, and have you managed to resolve them? Any sane help appreciated.
Thanks... Tony

In the absence of any replies, I'd forgotten that I'd posted here, but I did manage to sort out the problem eventually.
I forget all the steps involved, and possibly some which may be pertinent, but in essence somewhere in the iCloud signup procedure I'd clicked something that told Address Book to upload to the Cloud, and otherwise remain invisible on the Mac. Tinkering with the Address Book preference settings eventually restored the Contacts list to my iPhone.

HT204053 Signing up for iCloud

When I try to sign up to iCloud, I get the error message "The Apple ID is valid but is not an ICloud account." I've tried endlessly to find a solution. Can anyone offer one? Thanks ...

You have to use a Mac or an iPhone/iPad to sign up for iCloud. Once you have you will be able to sign in from your PC.
