I want to set up an iCloud account. Please Help

I want to set up an iCloud account, and I am unable to do so, as iCloud says my apple ID is valid but not an iCloud Account and I get no option to create an account.
How do I accomplish this?
I am using a Windows Computer and I don't own an iPhone or other i series products nor do I own a Mac.

Here's what he would need to do:
Save his photo stream photos to his camera roll (unless they are already there) by opening the My Photo Stream album, tapping Edit, tapping the photos, tapping Share, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Delete from My iphone. This will temporarily remove the account and his iCloud data from his phone, but it will reappear on his phone when he signs back in later.
Sign in with your Apple ID to create your iCloud account, and do not choose Merge with iCloud when prompted (so he doesn't upload his data to your account).
In Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account again to remove your account from his phone.
Sign back in with his own iCloud ID. His iCloud data will reappear on his phone after a brief delay as it redownloads from iCloud.
You can then sign in with your ID on the iCloud control panel for Windows on your PC, as well as on icloud.com.

You can set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud. Secondary accounts do have limitations. Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device. Push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

I can't access my icloud account , please help

I can't access my icloud Account, please help .

How are you trying to access it? You can't access the iCloud website on Safari on an iPad, you have to sign in in Settings>iCloud and access the data through the relevant apps.
Have you successfully set up an iCloud account? Can you log in at http://icloud.com on a computer? What operating system are you running on your iPad?
Do you get an error message when you try to access it?
You really need to post more data with a question like this, just 'I can't access' doesn't really allow for any sort of answer.

Create a new Apple ID for the one you want to change.

HT204053 I want to set up an iCloud account to replace one on the iPad I just bought from my sister

Please help me figure out how to change the I Cloud account on the I Pad I bought from my sister.

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.

ICloud Account--Please Help

I am trying to set up my iCloud on my PC. Everytime I go to log in it tells me that my AppleID have been verified but is not an iCloud account. How do I set it up as an iCloud account?

You cannot create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create an iCloud account on an iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or a Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher).
After creating an iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac you can then use the account on your PC, but you can't create the account on your PC.

IPhone locked to a stranger's icloud account- please help I am not a thief

I had bought iPhone 5 from AT&T the day it was released. After using it for a year and half, I decided to gift it to my dad. I completely wiped the phone to it's factory settings and shipped it to my dad. After my dad received the phone, he took it to a local store to get a new screen protector and a case. After he returned back home, he tried to use the phone but surprisingly the phone was in a lost mode with a message showing it is currently linked to an Apple ID d…[email protected]. Initially he thought the apple id that was showing on the phone belonged to me and asked me to remove it from the device. However, the problem was the apple id didn’t belong to me. I tried to contact the the email address and the phone number that was showing on the screen but they turned out to be bogus. My dad went back to the store but the owner of the store denied doing anything like that. I did some research on Google and came across this discussion where a person is also having the exact same “locked to a stranger’s apple id” issue. At this point, I am not sure if it was the store owner who locked my device or it is a bug in the iCloud system of which Apple is not aware of? I called Apple Support but the rep was kind of rude and just dismissed the case. Then I went to the Apple store with the proof of purchase and the original box but was turned back to Apple Support. The second rep whom I spoke with was professional and sounded helpful but it has been a week and haven't heard back from him yet.
I guess Apple is finding difficulty trying to decide who the true owner of the phone is? Me who have the proof of purchase or the stranger who has provided bogus email address and phone number? Looks like Apple is not willing to help me at all. Is filing a case at small claim court the only option left for me?

I respect your opinion but I don’t agree with it. In the real world, you don't have to involve the police if you simply loose your keys or if it gets stolen. There is nothing a police can do because the car is never stolen and is just sitting at the mall's parking lot all the time. Remember, only the keys were stolen. In my phone's case, the phone was never stolen however I do agree that it was in a vulnerable position when I did the factory reset and removed my icloud account from it. If a device is in such a position then anybody who has the physical access to the device can lock the device with their icloud account. And this is exactly what happend to my phone and this is exactly what I have been trying to explain to Apple Support. I understand they cannot just trust me and unlock the phone for me, but I expect them to tell me what's the next step for me to take. What document or proof do they need from me to show that I am the true owner? I can try and get the police involved even though the device is never stolen, but I first need to know which city police should I get involved- is it the Dallas Police, my home town police or the stranger’s home town police? The email address and the phone number shown on the locked screen are totally bogus and they don’t exist at all. I don’t even know where this stranger lives. Apple Support is simply ignoring me presuming that I am the thief and not trying to resolve the issue at all.

I have an IPhone operating OS 4.21. I cannot back it up before update and I cannot set up an ICloud account as it needs to be on a version later on the device. Please help, I want to update but not lose everything!

That would tend to indicate a permissions issues on the computer.
Running an outdated version of iTunes is of absolutely no benefit.
All iDevices work with the current version of iTunes.

I was setting up an iCloud account. I set it up and the wanted to delete it. When I did that, I inadvertently deleted all my contacts off my iPhone. I don't think there was any backup. How do I get my contacts back?

Hi. I was setting up an iCloud account on my son's iPhone. We set up the account, but then decided to delete it. When we did, we accidentally deleted all the contacts from his iPhone. There was no backup done yet. I tried backing up his contacts in verizon backup, but that didn't work. Can anyone help p,was. He lost hundreds of contacts

If you deleted the account by going to Settings>icloud, scrolled to bottom of page and tapped Delete Account, then all you have to do is go to the same page an sign in using the same ID; be sure Contacts is turned on.

How do I set up different icloud accounts for each family member and make them able to access them on our common mac using their user name on the mac. I am doing this to make sure kids don't get access to our messages.

We have several apple products in the family. I would like to set up different icloud accounts for each memeber. I lately noticed having activated different devices with same icloud account that each device can access everyones messages by going in their settings and clicking which number or email they want to use to see messages. Let me make sure I am understood, on my sons ipod in his messages settings he can switch to my cell number and see all my messages. Re setting the devices isn't my great issue but can i set up each kids user account on my mac to their individual icloud accounts?
Thanks!

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

HT4528 How do I set up separate icloud accounts on two phones with one apple id?

My husband and I have two iPhone 5s and one Apple ID. I set up my iCloud account and we want to set up a separate one for him so we don't share each other's contacts, etc.

Read the section on setting up separate icloud account http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895

2 iphone 5's, 1 itunes account to share music; how do you set up 2 icloud accounts using one MacBookPro?

My wife and I each purchased the iphone 5 and we share an itunes account. How do I sync our iphones to our MacBookPro so we each have our own iCloud account (contacts, calendars, etc.)? We want to be able to share the itunes music on our computer.

If you are sycing your contacts and calendars with iCloud, don't sync them with your computer using iTunes. If you sync with both iCloud and iTunes this will cause duplicates. If you want to keep your contacts, calendar, etc. separated rather than merged, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on both phones using different Apple IDs. You can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing music, apps, etc.; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud, iMessage or other services.
In terms of syncing your music and other non-iCloud data with the same computer, this article will explain different options depending on how you want to set it up: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495.

How can I set up two iCloud accounts

I want to set up two different iCloud accounts for my wife and I. We both use the same account for buying apps but we want different iCloud accounts. How do I do that? Can I do that? Thanks for the help!

You can set up separate iCloud accounts for each of you and sign into your account on both your iPhone and iPad.
To change the account on her phone, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. (This only deletes the account from her phone; not from iCloud.) Then sign in with a different ID to create her new account (and use this ID for iMessage and FaceTime too). After setting up the account on her phone, she can then sign in with the same ID on her iPad to sync iCloud data between her devices.
You can then sign into you iCloud account using your ID on your devices, and both of you can continue to share the same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.
