Is there another way to get a free iCloud account with an iTunes account

We are an educational institution and we have a 1-to-1 program with our 7th and 8th graders. This was started last year but recently we started to run into issues where the devices (that are recycled at the end of the year to go to the incomming 7th graders) will not allow us to create iTunes and iCloud accounts. I've discovered that I can create an iTunes account for free via appleid.apple.com but it does not create an iCloud account.
This is far from ideal for us as we need all of our students to have iCloud accounts as well and we do not have the money to keep buying new devices just so that we can have iCloud accounts for each student.
Does anyone know of a way to create free iCloud accounts? There must be a way and there must be other school districts with this problem that have solved this issue. This could taint our entire 1-to-1 program if not resolved. iCloud backups are how we handle replacements when the students break the device accidentally.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if it's possible, but you might want to ask this question over in the iPad in Business and Education forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/ipad_in_business_and_education?view =discussions. They may know the answer.

You can set up an Apple ID without a credit card.

Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

I have an 11" MacBook Air. When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer. Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter? (It works with my MacBook Pro)

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

Is there another way of getting my icloud emails. Apple says there is an issue and I am desperate to get my mail, is there another way of getting my icloud emails. Apple says there is an issue and I am desperate to get my mail

Hi,
Is there another way of getting my icloud emails. Apple states on the service status page there is an issue and I am desperate to get my mail.
thank you
Dave

Seriously? Not really sure what else to say. Doesn't Apple have any user experience experts? Or are they all 22 year old programmers who never, ever, put down their company-supplied iPhones?

If I failed to accept the offer for free apps on my iPhone 5s, is there any way to get iPhoto free?

if...... you accidentally dismissed the popup the first time you launched the App Store on your new device, you can also view all of them in one place in the App Store by following these steps:
Launch the App Store app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
From the Featured tab, scroll down and tap on the New to the App Store? tile under Collections.
Once again, scroll down towards the bottom and tap on the tile for Apps made by Apple.
Here you can see a list of all the apps Apple makes. Tap any one of them to view more information on them or tap on the price to download them.

I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my apple id?

I was recently burglarized and lost a bunch of Apple products. Is there a way to get receipts for items purchased with my Apple ID?

Yes if you go to http://store.apple.com/ on the top right under the search it will say "Account" or your first name. You will click or tap that and you will click "check order status" sign in. After you do that in the middle by the order date and number it will say "print invoices" and as long as your item(s) have been ship you will be able to see and print your invoice receipts. you can view items purchased in the last 18 months.

Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

If you failed to maintain a backup copy, then you would have to import the disks again.

HT201269 I have an IPhone 4 that turns off.When I plug the phone into a outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. But my phone doesn't connect. I need to backup info to sync to a new iPhone. Is there another way to get the info from the old one?

I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes. I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?

Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

Is there a way to get music from my ipod to my itunes library

Hello. I have a problem with my music library. My computer hardrive crashed and i had lost all of my music and other information in iTunes. All i have left is the music on my iPod... But is there a way to get the music from off my iPod and back on my new music library? Plz help. Ty

Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
