HT4759 Can you set up an icloud account without having your apple device in your hand?
I need to set up my iCloud so I can track my phone but I don't have it! Is there a way to set up my iCloud without my phone?

If you mean you actually need to enable the "find my iPhone" setting under your iCloud Account's settings on your iPhone, then no, of course not. You needed to have enabled that setting before it went missing in order to be able to remotely connect/communicate with it in the first place.
In order to remotely track an iOS device, that device needs to have an active iCloud account already on it, and the "find" setting already turned on - all before it is no longer in your hands.

Can you set up seperate Icloud accounts up under One apple ID?
Can I backup different devices to different Icloud under one apple account?
For example my computer and phone to one and my son's phone and ipad to another without creating separate apple ids.
ThanksYou don't sync devices through devices. You sync through iCloud or iTunes. If he has his own Apple/iCloud ID then he would be syncing through iCloud with that ID. On iTunes, he can use the same iTunes library as long as his ID has been authorized on the computer iTunes is running on.
Can you explain a little more about what information you are looking for?
Cheers,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iCloud requires OS X 10.7.2 or later, and the latest Mac OS X version a PowerPC Mac can run is 10.5.8, so you can't use all iCloud features. However, if you have already an iCloud account, you can use some of iCloud services like mail in your computer > http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html (This article applies to Snow Leopard, so it might not work correctly in your computer) -
I would like to know if I can set up an iCloud account without owning a Mac, iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. I own a laptop that runs Windows 7 and I would like to be able to access my past purchases for all the computers in my family.
There is no way to setup iCloud on a PC, it must be setup first on a compatible Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

TS4006 can you set up an icloud account on a phone remotely
My daughter has lost her phone and I just found out that she never set up an icloud account. So I cannot use the "find my iphone" app. Is there anyway to set-up the icloud account for her phone with out having her phone?
Unfortunately, no. It can only be enabled on the device itself, not remotely.

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. -
Can I set up two iCloud accounts on my IPAD3 at the same time? If not how do you sign out of one to sign in to another?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream. -

HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?
can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?
You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone. -

Hey Harlowmaginty,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines the various options for creating a free @icloud.com account:

You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
Thanks,

Can you set up multiple user accounts on one laptop?
can you set up multiple user accounts on one laptop?
Of course.
And instructions can depend on which OS X is installed.
For v10.7 Lion > OS X Lion: Create a new user account
For v10.8 Mountain Lion > OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.

How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?
How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?
As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?
Can you set up 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?
I had two accounts on one computer until recently. You need to use two user accounts on the computer. Note, I say I did it until recently, therefore I'm not able to confirm this still works, but assume it does.

How can I log out that iCloud account without password ?
You can't.
Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.
