I cannot sign in to iCloud control panel. The spinner keeps spinning
I have tried everything I can find to resolve this. I open the control panel and I am asked to log in. I enter my Apple ID and Password but nothing happens except the spinner appears and keeps on spinning.
I have deleted the MobileMe from my PC and cannot re-load it but others in the forum have found this not to be a reliable solution.
I can log in to iCoud on iCloud.com but none of the applications etc. are synchronised.
You'll get that message if your device has already been used to create 3 different iCloud accounts on the device itself. You have to create the new account on your computer, then set it up on your phone. There is no other way around this limitation.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the two articles below when experiencing this issue.

Sign in to iCloud control panel
i sign in to icloud control panel using my Apple ID but it says that,
cannot sign up
this apple ID is valid but is not an icloud account!
what can i do?
Message was edited by: XtiandimasacatIt sounds like you haven't yet setup iCloud with that account and you need to do that on a Mac or iOS device. Once setup, you can enable iCloud on a PC, but it needs to be setup first.
See Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
Which says in part:
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 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.

In iCloud control panel the mail, calender and contact fields are not selectable.
Hi,
I have a Windows7 pro 64bit with outlook 2010, latest version of iTunes and iCloud control panel.
My mobilMe account is working in Outlook, notes from my iPone and iPad are shared, but there 's no entry for contacs or agenda.
When I open iCloud control panel the checkbox for mail, contact and agenda are grayed out.
To be honnest I had the same problem with the mobileMe contol pannel, and never had it working. (I logged out mobilme contol panel)
What do I need to do to share my iCloud agenda in outlook and copy my outlook contacts in iCloud?
so... Help please!
MarioAppreciate the response. I am familiar with the server settings. I used them to manually make things work for a short amount of time. Then problem re-started.
My PW is correct. I can log into iCloud from the web and it works on my other Apple devices.
Not sure what else to try. SOme posts suggest others having a similar problem. -
Cannot login from Windows iCloud control panel, but that not all...
I set up my Apple Id and downloaded the Windows iCloud control panel, but when I try to sign in from my PCI get this message: "You can't sign in because of a server error." But when I check the status of icloud everything is operational. But if I go to the icloud page directly, I can sign in normally. The reason this is an issue is that I cannot setup icloud on my computer properly and with all of the options I want without signing in from the icloud control panel. This really bites, and any help would be appreciated immensly.
Thanks, ScottI am having the same problem. I really need a solution. My Admin is flying blind without being able to see my calendars.

I am trying to set p my photo stream on my desk top. It says I need to log into Icloud control panel! Everytime I try to do that I get an error message that says can not sign in cause of server message! HELP?
Next day the problem still continued. I did restart my computer a couple of times and then "it worked". Not sure why - if it really was a server problem or something on my side.

Cannot enable Calendars on iCloud control panel on 64-bit PC
I have a new 64-bit PC with Outlook 2010 installed. I want to view my iCloud calendar within Outlook. I successfully installed iCloud Control Panel, however, there is no checkbox available to enable Contacts, Calendar, or Reminders. Checkboxes are only available for Bookmarks and Photo Stream. It says that Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders are available at iCloud.com.
Hey RuiEVG,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:
Get help using iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
Check the system requirements
Make sure that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements.
iCloud Control Panel doesn't support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition.

Do you have an iCloud account? If so, did you sign into your account on the iCloud control panel and check Photos, then click Options to confirm that Photo Sharing is turned on?

ICloud Control Panel will not open - Windows 7
I bought an iPhone 4s today and just installed the iCloud on my Windows 7 machine. When I first installed iCloud the iCloud Control Panel opened fine, but since then I cannot open it. I can click on the control panel icon but nothing happens. Same for
I have this exact problem, when I try to sign in to icloud control panel it just hangs. I read on one of the other forums that it is something to do with the user profile on the PC and using another user id sometimes works. Interesting thing is if I use the 'Guest' sign in facility on my PC it allows me to sign on to icloud control panel. Still trying to establish what is different in the 2 user profiles?

in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?
Have had some success with multiple computers running Windows 7, Vista, and Windows Server 2008 doing the following with iCloud Control Panel 3.1 (combination of several different remedies posted in forum):
Sign out of iCloud Control Panel
Open Task Manager and End all Apple iCloud and Photostream processes
Delete the files from the Directory C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mediastream
Open iCloud Control Panel and sign in with apple ID
If Photo option is still greyed out, sign out and sign back in with iCloud email address and password.
This has worked for seven users that I support across several different windows hardware platforms. Good luck! -
