iv tried setting icloud and it says maximum number of free accounts what do i need to do now to set up and icloud account

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 i reached the maximum number of free accounts for my phone. how will i log in now? it is an i phone 5 and was used for work before and now i want to use it for personal use

    I cannot sign in to my icloud. I have reached the maximum number of free accounts on my phone.
    I am not sure what to do next.. i need to set up an icloud but i cant now.

    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.

  • HT204053 What do you do when you get the message when trying to sign into iCloud.. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad.. ? Not allowing me to sign in.

    Can someone please tell me. When trying to sign into icloud. i get the message.. Cannot sign in . The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad. What do I do ? Hope someone can help.

    Use one of the previous accounts that you activated in this iPad or use another iOS device to activate the new one.

  • ICloud Error! The maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this iPod touch.

    This is seriously annoying, I've been going around in circles trying to get my music onto my bloody iPod. I can't sync because it pauses @ Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied error for ios7 devices. So my only option is to use iTunes Match and pay 40 bucks for it, but I think for iTunes match, you also need an iCloud account. Well I can't! Because when I go to sign into my iCloud using my Apple ID, it pops up with this error: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPod touch.
    I'm about to give up and kill every one of Apple's employees.
    I'm ready and open to everyones strategy at getting this fixed, thanks in advance.

    So I go to make a new Apple ID, then go to my newly downloaded iCloud Control Panel for PC, and it says that this is a valid Apple ID but not an iCloud ID. I figured the only way to make an iCloud ID is to make an account on my iPod... BACK TO THE START! I can't because it gives me an error after I have created my account saying: "This device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account"
    WHAT IS GOING ON, fix your stuff Apple.

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

    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 - 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.

  • The maximum number of free accounts on this device have been activated on this iphone error message

    i've been trying to find ways to get pass this icloud message but can't. i bought my iphone 5 a few months ago. it is a used iphone i bought off ebay. it let's me sign into itunes but not icloud. i recently took it to the apple store in my city and even they were new to this message. but they said it should work after basically restoring my iphone. it didn't work. they were talking about selling me a new one for 260. I paid 250 for the iphone 5 i have now and i don't want a new one.... can anyone help?

    Each device can create a maximum of 3 iCloud accounts.  After that you can only re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account on a different device, if you have one.

  • 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 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?

    You should only get that message when you are trying to create a new account.

    Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone.  If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts).  To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account.  Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device.  Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.
