HT4759 set up iCloud on my hp laptop

I set up iCloud on my hp laptop. It tells me that I have a valid Apple ID, but not an iCloud account. What did I do wrong? (not a Mac user)

If you have your own iOS devices, the easiest thing to do is to create it on your device.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID to create your account.  After doing this, you can sign in with the ID on your PC.
If you have to create it on her Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (which sound scary, but the data will still be in iCloud).  Then sign back in with your ID to create your account, sign back out again, then sign back in with her ID and her iCloud data will download back to her Mac.  You can then use your ID to sign into your new iCloud account on your PC.
If you ren into any problems doing this, just reply back to this thread.

    This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account.

    You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC.  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 (10.7.2) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

    To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account.  If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

  • HT4759 I don't use other i-devices. How do I get past the "Set up iCloud on a device ..." redirect to set up iCloud?

    I don't use other i-devices. How do I get past the "Set up iCloud on a device ..." redirect to set up iCloud? I want to use icloud for a calendar, storage of my photos and ebooks plus the Calibre reader app with chrome browser. OS is windows 7, but I will change to windows 8 soon.

    You need to set up an iCloud account before you can back it up. And you back it up directly from the device - iCloud.com has nothing to do with it. Follow the instructions in the link below to set up your iCloud account and to set up Automatic Backups:

    This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
      If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

    I'm assuming you are trying to log in using Safari on your ipad - if this is the case, you can't do that on an iOS device.  You must use the Calendar app on the device.  If you are using someone else's device, then you have a problem doing this.  I just tried using Chrome on an iPad and that also doesn't work.  If there's on nearby, use a computer's browser, that works.
