ICloud Account limits you to 3 account setups per device.

It appears that Apple has set a limit to all devices to only allow three iCloud creations. That means if you hve a family of four you can not create all the iCloud's using the same computer. Better yet if you have a company or an organization and want to take advantage of iCoud services you need to do this from each computer you have. Lets not let you be efficient and have an IT person or HR peson set up the account to ensure uniformity. Because after the third account you get "Account limit Reached" you have reached the limit of free accounts for this device !
Also, if you sell your Apple device, guess what the next person inherits your limit cap. This is tracked by serial number. This is a extremly narrow thinking for an inovated company such as Apple. Trying to position itself to expand in small and mid size companies, this seems short sited. I hope that Apple will address this issue quickly. Maybe have an avenue for a company to submit their e-mails for iCloud accounts to ensure that fraudulant accounts are not being created.
If anyone has found a work around or fix for this issue please respond. Also, any other people that are having the same issue please let Apple know. Especialy Small to Medium businesses need to offer feedback to Apple on how they can be assisted and encouraged to use Apple products to best serve their company's needs.

If an iPhone is locked with somebodys Gmail account can you remove the account?

If you have an iPhone 4 and it's locked with somebodys Gmail account is there a way to remove the old account?

Only if you're able to reach the person who set the lock, or if you're the device's original owner(if so, contact Apple).

HT4847 If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free? So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?

If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free? So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?
If this multi purchase if devices is not rewarded with a larger cloud storage being available, would it then be best to have several separate cloud accounts?
Would you lose the ability to mesh data between devices??? Of could you choose to share a smaller part of the data and yet save the rest of the device data to their own cloud? So in other words, split a devices stored data between 2 different icloud accounts? One community iCloud account for partial data and individual account for data that does not need to be shared with the other devices, however it needs to be backed up. The simpler solutions would be If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, an amount of storage made available per device (ie: 5 units of storage free per device)
~ So that you are rewarded for the additional Apple devices by giving 5 more units of storage or backup space per device

Nobody here is an Apple employee, and my Christmas Season has been great, thanks very much. Neither am I jealous, I just abhor the fact that so many people these days expect more and more for free, in addition to what they already get for free. First world problems...
Obviously Apple do consider people with multiple devices, since the whole purpose of the service is to keep data in sync across multiple devices. Clearly, after consideration, Apple decided to give 5GB of storage for free and provide customers with the option to buy more storage if they want/need more, in line with competing services.
Everyone has their own set of unique circumstances but does that mean everyone should be rewarded with extras for free? At what point should it be considered acceptable to actually pay for additional extras you want?
And by the way, somebody expressing a different opinion, and discussing people's expectations is not being rude. Aren't you from the country that supposedly takes 'freedom of speech' rather seriously?

How do you change your icloud account when you change email address

How do you change your Icloud account details from your old email address to your new email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Help. Just got the latest and greatest ipod touch. When trying to setup icloud, my email address is verified but when I touch settings, icloud, account tries unsuccessfully to verify account.

Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

My original apple id is not an email address . I bought iCloud memory via that same account no problem. When setting up iCloud on iPad you cannot have a primary iCloud account unless it has an email address . Made new account but can you change originalI'

Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How many iCloud accounts can you create on Mac?

I use different emails for different purposes (subscriptions, shopping, forums, iTunes, etc.). With that in mind, I created 3 iCloud email accounts on my iPad and upon trying to register a 4th one I was told that this device is no longer eligible to create an iCloud account. Anyways, does the same rule apply to Macs (3 IDs per device)?

Why not create aliases to your primary iCloud mail account for those other email needs. That way you can access all emails from each of your devices with the same email client, Mail. On your Mac Just create a Rule to put emails to each alias in its own specific folder.

Part 2
Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid. Glad it worked for you too.
A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either. If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again. Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box. I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further.
I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it. This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.

The seller needs to follow this procedure:

If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

Do you need to own an apple device to get an iCloud account?

do you need to own an apple device to get an iCloud account? I want to share a calendar "ical" with my other apple and non apple budies and want to share. Is this possible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, he has a couple of ways of doing this.
iCloud photo stream will sync photo stream photos automatically. AirPlay will show anything on his phone on the Apple TV.

HT201342 I'd like to know why they keep making MORE ACCOUNTS!? They wanted you to make a 'Mobile Me' account, then they were suppose to combine the me account with a new me account; now an icloud account.

What a mess. My original iTunes account was set up using my ISP address, then Apple wanted me to make a 'Mobile Me' account to place stuff in a 'Cloud'; then they did away with 'Mobile Me', and made another cloud and wanted me to use another address. My understanding was that the orignal 'Mobile Me' address was going to be consolidated with the newer 'Me' address, then all my addresses were duplicated more than once. Now I have my orignal ISP address, the mobileme.com address, two or maybe three 'Me.com' addresses, and now a 'iC

Switching to the @icloud.com email address will not affect the AppleID you use for the AppStore in any way whatsoever.
The new @icloud.com address is part of the iCloud account which you currently have the same @me.com email address for.
Nothing at all to do with the AppleID(s) you use for iTunes/AppStore (unless you have the one and only AppleID you use for both).
At most you should have only two AppleIDs. One for iCloud (which iCloud syncing, and your @me.com/@icloud.com email addresses are attached to) and one for the iTunes/AppStore (which your app, music, movie etc purchases are tied to).
There has never been a reason for you to have multiple AppleIDs for purchases from the AppStore/iTunes Store.

When I try to delete my account from my iPod it says "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" Will I lose my pictures on my iPod?

I changed my email on my computer for my itunes and icloud. It made me manually change it on my ipod even after I synced. It won't change my email for my icloud and I have to delete it manually. "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" comes up. Will I lose all my data stored on my iPod?

You will only lose your iCloud data, That includes iCloud backup, iCloud Contacts and Calendar, Reminders, Notes, everything listed in Settings>iCloud

hello, im unable to make an icloud account on my iphone, because whenever i make an account, a messege appears that this device has enough accounts so you can not make a new one, so the problem is that i dont konw about the perevious accounts, what should i do to delete pervious accounts and create a new one?

The problem is that there is a limit for creating new iCloud accounts from a device and if the previous owner already created three accounts with this iPhone you bought from him, then you would have to use another device in order to create a new one.

ICloud Account limits you to 3 account setups per device.
