HT5622 valid apple id but not icloud account. I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work. I have restarted my computer several times. I have changed my password several times. I have tried to access the icloud page.

repeating error message reads: "valid apple id but not icloud account." when trying to start my icloud account. I tried downloading on a different computer and logging in and it did not work. I have restarted my computer several times. I have changed my password several times. I have tried to access the icloud page. Nothing has worked. Now I have this stupid app and some of my music is still not being shared on both of my computers.

I have the same problem signing in...but, I finally got a screen saying you have to set up a account on a device..like an ipad to get a iCloud sign in ...my apple id is [email protected] and this screen reset to [email protected]
If you don't have an apple device you may be out of luck. I don't know. I'm still waiting for help just as you are...good luck to both of us though.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You must log in iCloud on an iPod touch, iPad, iPhone or Mac before logging on a PC > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

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

I log in with my itunes login - it tells me i have a valid apple id, but not a validi cloud account. Help please???

Hi, I have just downloaded icloud, its on my desktop fine. When I try to log-in with my usual itunes id, it tells me - I have a valid apple id but not an icloud account. Am I being dumb or should I be doing something else? - please help, its doing my head in....

You should have been assigned an @me.com email address, which is the login. If you moved from MobileMe "paid" then that will be the Apple ID to use.

TS3988 'Valid Apple ID but not an Icloud account

I have downloaded iCloud onto my PC and when I try to sign in the following message appears 'This is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud account.' What can I do? Thanks.

....some software developers are so smart that they become stupid in the process....I have a valid apple ID but iCloud complains, "your ID is a valid Apple ID but it's not an iCloud account." So, when I go to download the iCloud file to set up iCloud on my computer, the file is about 45MB. I finally get the file downloaded and installed exactly the way Apple said to do it and then the software STILL complains that my Apple ID is not an iCloud account--with no further instructions about how to GET an iCloud account....you're correct, Apple has a long way to go before it's integrity reaches up to the level of 'amateur' regarding their software instructions being user friendly...
In simple terms then, you can not create a new iCloud account on a PC and an Apple ID is NOT an iCloud account.
Use a Mac or an iPhone etc to open the account, then (and only then) can you sign into it on a PC.

HT4759 "this is a valid apple id but not an icloud account?"

I just updated my non unibody macbook pro to Mountain Lion and Icloud won't log in. It gives me this message "this is a valid apple id but not an icloud account" ***?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Macintosh HD > library > preferences > system configuration and drag the 'Networkinterfaces.plist' file to the trash and restart the mac. Now try again.

When I try to access the answer is that mine is a valid Apple ID but not valid for iCloud also if I've obtained confirmation by mail of my account

Stupid icloud sign in box says my id is a valid apple id but not an icloud id! after changing my password it still won't let me sign in, why?

I finally got tired of updating iTunes and saying no to iCloud. Stupid me apparently. Now I'm Faced with a sign in box for iCloud that says my id is a valid Apple id but NOT an iCloud id. Everything I look at says that the id should work for both. Well, it's not for me and I am regretting having installed iCloud. If I can't sign in, or find out how to, I am going to remove iCloud and will never have anything to do with it again as it will be an obviously unusable program. Anyone know how to fix the stupid thing?
OK. I finally got a new screen that says I have to use my apple id to set up iCloud on a device..I don't have any devices..only my PC, unless a Kindle counts. Can anyone help here, please?

Hi kjohns2001,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you do not have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you don't need iCloud.
It is a service that keeps these devices and your computer synchronized.
iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists.
So, you can uninstall it from the Control Panel in Windows.
Cheers,

My Iphone will not let me download apps because it says my apple id is disabled, I have changed my password four times and it still is saying the same thing. What do I do now?

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."
