To enable iCloud on your Windows PC, first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows...

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.

I have an Apple ID and downloaded Icloud control panel for PC. EVERYTIME I try to sign in, I get message that says "Cannot Sign Up. This Apple ID is valid but is not an icloud account." Help!!!!

How the heck to I establish an ICloud account? I've downloaded the Control Panel twice and still cannot get past sign-in. I get a message that says that my Apple ID is valid but is not an ICloud account. I thought my Apple ID was supposed to get me into Icloud to share streamed photos... doesn't it? What do I do now?

To use iCloud, you must first set it up on an iOS device or a Mac.

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.

HT204053 I cannot sign in to icloud..the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad..what can I do ?

I cannot sign into icloud.. It says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad. What can I do ?

You'll have to use a different device to setup iCloud, and then sign in using that account.
Is it a second hand iPad, or have you created multiple accounts on it already for some reason?

I cannot sign into my iCloud account from my MAC. In the System Preferences I have two mail accounts iCloud

I cannot sign into iCloud Mail from my MAC. I have tried everything that I can think of to change in System Preferences, even deleted the mailbox and reinstalled it ..... nothing works. It is fine on my iPhone 4S!!! Please help ... about to go crazy! There seem to be two accounts one from MobileMe (mail) and iCloud (calendar and contacts find my phone). I have tried moving the mail to iCloud and unticking it on MobileMe but it will not allow me to submit it!

I have reached my maximum 3 accounts for icloud, i cannot sign in, even when i have a completely new apple id.

I have called up apple support and they have created a new apple id for me but i cannot make a new icloud account nor sign in. Is there anyway to make a new icloud account without affecting my other accounts?

I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch". How am I able to log that off?

I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud account. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch" due to not knowing the password. How am I able to shut that off and log into my own account?

You can't. This is a security feature to prevent the resale of stolen iOS devices. You need to contact the seller and have him/her remove it from their iCloud account. Or return and get your money back. See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

Hi I cannot sign up to my iCloud account I forgot the password I want to buy some additional GB to my iPad..please help me what to do

Please be aware that you cannot "buy some additional GB to [your] iPad"; the storage capacity of the iPad is fixed at the time of manufacture. You can buy additional iCloud storage, but that's not the same thing.

Copied from my initial post:
"Then you will have to use a computer to create another account, or re-use one of the accounts you have already created."

TS4002 i cannot sign in icloud account.

i cannot sign in icloud account.i already have a apple id and when i try to sign in with the same account it says"the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone" what should i do

All you can do is re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or later), if you have one.

I cannot sign in to my icloud account,nor itunes and neither can download any app, both from my Mac and iphone

I cannot sign in to my icloud account,nor itunes and neither can download any app, both from my Mac and iphone. I cannot even sign in to my icloud account. Someone help me out plzzz

It means you are already signed into the ID as a secondary account on your Mac. Go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts. If you see this iCloud listed on the left sidebar, click on it and confirm that it shows your iCloud ID. If so, click the "-" sign below the account list to delete it. Then you should be able to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID as your primary iCloud account without getting this error.

HT5621 So, Settings iTunes & Apple Store has the right Apple ID, but iCloud does not, and I cannot sign out of it or change it. Yes, every 5 seconds Apple wants me to sign into my iCloud account... Any tips?

Please help. Thanks.

Same here. I cannot change my Apple ID ONLY in iCloud on my phone. Everywhere else is fine. I cannot turn off Find My iPhone and/or delete the iCloud account off the phone. This all happened because my phone died, I purchased a new one, and for some reason when I plugged it up the phone did not have the latest backup I did from my other phone. It took me to a backup from November which had the old Apple ID. The new Apple ID works on the Apple Store, iTunes, and everywhere else it is needed except for iCloud.
PLEASE Someone HELP
If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
