HT4901 I'm trying to set my settings for icloud but it says "This is a valid Apple ID but not an icloud account, what am I doing wrong."

What am I doing wrong.

You can't create a new iCloud acount using a PC. You must create it on an Apple device, a Mac or an iPad/iPhone. Then you can use it on your PC.

    I already quoted the minimum requirements, look in the post before yours.
    You will have to upgrade your Mac to at least 10.7.5, upgrades are not free, you buy them from the App Store. Mountain Lion is the best but your Mac must be compatible.
    Here is a list of compatible machines.
    Also note that some older apps (Office 2004, Appleworks) will not run on Mountain Lion.

    You are logging in iCloud for the first time. In this case, first you need to log in iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
    If you have not got a device to set iCloud up, you cannot use it. You can only use iCloud on your PC if you have got an Apple device

    An update.
    From iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
    "iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8"
    but you still need to set it up on a Mac or iOS device, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later."

  • I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
    If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?

    Make sure that both the web browser you're using and its Flash plug-in are up to date. Google Chrome has its own Flash plug-in it updates on its own. Firefox, IE and other have separate plug-ins.

    Hi Kevin
    I found a YouTube clip explaining how to blur the background with free draw bezier tool and it also said to invert the mask, but it still does not track forward. I really hope there is a solution.

    I am getting account not verified when trying to set up icloud on my iphone. I check my email and there is nothing in my inbox or junk. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • Not able to change slide duration. It's set to 4.0; I change it to 3.0 and it changes to 6.5 or something. What am I doing wrong?

    I can't seem to change the slide duration in iMovie. It's set to 4.0 automatically. I change it to 3.0. The program resets it to 6.5 or something I never intended. What am I doing wrong?

  • I am not able to down load the updated version. I have tried several times, the filed is saved many times, but it seems not to update. What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to update Firefox, but am unable to. I have gone through all of the steps and it seems to not update. I have saved your files several time due to my many tires but the update seems not to go through. What am I doing wrong?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    I am trying to pull up an old email that I received and placed in the trash.  When I press "load more messages," no additional trash eMails pop up.  What am I doing wrong?

    You're not looking in your trash can.  And if you've emptied your trash can, the message is gone.
    To open your trash, you have inboxes on the top, and accounts below.  Tap the mail from the accounts.  That's where your trash can is.  Tap it.  If the mail is not permanently deleted it will be in the trash.

  • Set up XP through Boot camp, Airport not found... what am I doing wrong?!

    So I was doing some cleaning through old computer stuff and came across a copy of Windows XP that I had. I have been wanting to partition my HD to run MS OS for awhile but couldnt afford getting the OS so it worked out perfect. I went through all the step by step instructions to get it loaded onto my MacBook Pro (Late 2010) and got the OS up and running. I only partitioned about 30GB for the MS side of things, dont know if its relevant but just wanted to include it, and upon loading the windows side, I dont even have an option to use my airport. Are there any additional drivers I need to set up for the airport to work? Should they have been included with the support software that was downloaded during initial set up? Or am I just missing a step on the Windows side of things and not getting the end result? Thank you for taking a look, and the help!

    You need the Windows Support Software, which is on the OSX (10.6.8) installation disc if you are (as your profile says) using Snow Leopard. If you're actually using Lion or Mountain Lion you can download it using Boot Camp Assistant, but then it will not support XP, only Windows 7 or 8.

  • Cannot set up Mail with GoDaddy Account, what am I doing wrong?I

    I searched the correct way to do this through GoDaddy, my hosting service and got these directions, which I have tried, but didn't work.
    *To Set Up Apple Mail for SMTP Relay
    1. From the Mail menu, click Preferences.
    2. In the Preferences window, click Accounts.
    3. In the Account window, click Account Information.
    4. From the Account Type list, select POP.
    5. In the Description field, type a name for the account.
    6. In the Email Address field, type your email address.
    7. In the Your Name field, type your full name.
    8. In the Incoming Mail Server field, type pop.secureserver.net.
    9. In the User Name field, type your user name (your full email address).
    10. In the Password field, type the password to your email account.
    11. In the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) field, type smtpout.secureserver.net.
    12. In the SMTP Server Options window, in the Outgoing Mail Server field, type smtpout.secureserver.net.
    13. In the Authentication field, type your password.
    14. In the Server Port field, type 80 or 3535.
    15. In the User Name field, type your SMTP user name.
    16. In the Password field, type your SMTP password.
    17. Click OK.
    Obviously, I'm connected to the internet...
    I tried doing this through POP and IMAP, there is an error message saying unable to connect. What can be done to make this work?

    the 3535 is not gonna work...the 110 will work...I have been dealing w/ godaddy.com .mac and mac support for 5 months with compatibility. It is the worst.. mac says they never heard of godaddy and godaddy had me run a trace route so then I had to deal w/ my isp for no good reason since other browsers could reach godaddy so it is not my stream.. It is the worst. These are suposed to be the easiest and most seemless systems and they cannot sync. I use firefox to get to go daddy on my macbook and it is as if I am using dial up. I am ready to just cancel .mac which is really another headache to learn..and godaddy and just move everything over to a company that can handle everything. My web business has been on hold since January. It makes no sense. I got the mac so I would not have to deal w/ the windows registry error answer.. now godaddy tells me they are built for windows.
    There is no winning at this. I have spent countless hours on phone support after spending countless hours researching the answers only for all support lines to tell me i can "go to...website for more info..." it is as bad as using windows.
    Very dissatissfied,
