ICloud - when I try to login it says " maximum number of free accounts given for this iPhone ". What should I do now?

Can someone pls help me?

Each device can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts.  Once those have been create and you try to create another you get this message.  You cannot delete one of the previous accounts in order to create another one.  All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher) and sign into the account on your phone.

    PLease help me.....i wanna sign in icloud with different account but it says max number of free acconts reached

    Somehow your Apple ID/iCloud account has been used on multiple iOS devices and exceeded the maximum. We have no way of knowing which devices. We are users like you on this forum.

  • Could'nt sign to icloud. It shows error i.e. Maximum numbers of free accounts activated on this iphone

    Could not sign into icloud shows maximum numbers of free accounts activated on this iphone

    Each device can only create three free iCloud accounts.  Once these are created, you cannot create another account on that device.  You can only re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

    That means you won't be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone (and you can't delete an existing account to do so).  Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or Mountain Lion), if you have one.

    You have created too many accounts. There's no way to get around this.

  • I changed my AppleID/Password and now am locked out of iCloud. iCloud says maximum number of free accounts have been activated. tried Settings, Mail etc but iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete it and start again.

    Had to change Apple ID/Password recently now cannot access iCloud. In settings when tapping iC, log in screen appears with old ID and request for (old) password.
    In Settings  Mail, Contacts etc iCloud does not appear. I was going to delete account.
    Trying new ID/Password message appears "maximum no. of free accounts have been activated".
    Using old ID/Password message apperas "you can,t sign in because account was disabled for security reasons ......reset password at iforgot.apple.com which i did.
    Can anybody help please??

    Hi,
    I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
    I reset both my Apple ID and password.
    When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
    Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
    If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
    In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
    Any suggestions??

  • I cannot sign in to my icloud with my old account it is saying maximum number of free accounts

    i am not tring to recreate an icloud. my iphone had to be reset by ntelos and clear all my data off my phone. so now when i try to sign in to my icloud it will not let me sign in with my account that i used before my phone was reset. it is saying it has the maximum number of icloud accounts. but im not trying to make a new one . in am simply tring to sign in with the one i already have.

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • Icloud: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.

    HI, I just bought a used (second hand) iphone 3gs recently.  I have activated my apple id it's working for app-store well, but when i try to use it for icloud it gives me the error that
    "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone"
    What I must do to sign in to icloud please help me.
    I suppose the previous owner has already activate an icloud account from this iphone and the IMEI number of the phone is registered to icloud. Is there a way to erase it, or just make a second account from this iphone?

    You need to sign in to your iCloud on another device before you can use iCloud on your iPhone 3GS.

  • ICloud sign in problem! -maximum number of free accounts have been activated

    I want to sign in to iCloude account on my iPhone but it shows that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated in this iPhone. what should i do now? I am trying to sign in with the same id I tried previously!

    but how can we access iClous if always telling that the maximum number of free accounts on this iPhone is activated already..???
    It should only do that if you go down the "create a new account" path, not the "enter an eisting Apple ID and password path.
    i tried to restore my iphone also but still it always appearring the same thing when i want to sign in on iCloud.
    Each device only gets to create so many free accounts, Restoring it doesn't change that.
    For my suggestion only Apple should look for solution to it.
    Apple wants it that way. I'm sure they could "solve" it if they saw it as a problem.
    One of my apps also is not working properly
    You should start a separate thread for that issue. Please give more details.

  • I just changed my Apple ID and I verified it but when I try to login it says my Apple ID is not verified

    I just changed my Apple ID and I verified it but when I try to login it says my Apple ID is not verified. Now I can't access my iTunes account at all.  How can I fix this?

    You need to click the link in the e-mail you received to verify.
    Then you need to link the valid credit card info to your Apple ID if you want to download anything from Apple Store (iTunes, Apps and iBooks).

  • I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

    I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

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

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your 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 iOS device or Mac computer.
