Logging into iCloud

Hi.  We just recently purchased a family iPad and I am trying to login to my iCloud Account which is connected to my phone.  I only want to login to my account from my iPad, I do not want to connect my iPad to that iCloud account or any iCloud account at this time.  Normally from my PC, I type in iCloud.com and the login screen appears allowing me to log into my iCloud account.   But when I type in iCloud.com from my iPad, it directs me to set iCloud up on the iPad. I do not want to do that I simply just want to login to my already existing account. Please help! How can I do this?

Hello,
iCloud.com is not a mobile site. You can log into iCloud in Settings>iCloud on your iPhone or iPad. How you do what you are looking to do will depend on what you want to do :-)

  • After recent OS update (10.8.2) I can no longer log into icloud.

    After recent OS update (10.8.2) I can no longer log into icloud.  I've reset password, but when I try to login on the icloud preferences panel it gives a little "bonk" sound and then spins forever.  Open to suggestion.  Thanks!

    Signing out and signing back in seemed to do the trick as suggested here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19827058#19827058

  • I can not log into iCloud

    Please help - I've upgraded to ML 10.8 (and also 10.8.1) and i can not log into icloud.
    I get an error saying "You can not log in at this time".  I have no hair left on my head because I've pulled it all out!
    Now, there are many published fixes for this, but NONE work. I've tried everything I can find:
    Yes, I have an AU and US apple ID, and both dont work
    I installed ML from a fresh disk wipe + install.  No baggage from previous OS's.
    Everything is standard, no tricky fixes or apps
    No Little snitch installed
    Have deleted the ~/Library/App Support/iCloud folder
    Have deleted any preference files
    Have opened up the permissions on the ~/Library/Caches/iCloud folder
    Have reset keychain
    Have deleted all references of any @me or @apple accounts
    Have re-installed the ML OS from a DIFFERENT bootable USB stick
    No proxies, SOCKS, or mods to network
    Plain old home WIFI network, never had a problem
    Have icloud successfully set up at work (QC 2.8GHZ Mac Pro 2010), on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro - Zero issues
    The mac having problems is a 2008 iMac, Core2Duo 2.8ghz Intel w 4gb 1067mhz ram) - Runs well, use for design.
    Is it a problem with the iCloudHelper process not having sufficient permission to write to the iCloud user DB? or the Accounts folder?
    Have looked into console, and when I try and log into iCloud, I get these three errors.  Same every time, no matter which apple ID account you use:
    1: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) AOSKC ([email protected]): Failed to store key, couldn't add kc item, error 100013 (service=iCloud, dsid=146089737)
    2: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) AOSKC ([email protected]): Failed to store account info key (dsid=146089737).
    3: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) Failed to store account info for appleID=[email protected]
    Please help!  Is this an incompatibiloty with the iMac problem, or a ML problem? 
    Much appreciated
    Rick

    Where EXACTLY are you trying to log in to it?
    Through your web browser at iCloud.com?
    Or through the iCloud system preferences pane on your Mac?

  • I used my daughter's itunes account to log into icloud but want to now put in my account information.  How do I change it without deleting her account?

    I used my daughter's itunes id to log into icloud as I forgot my information.  Now I have established my account information and want to remove hers to add mine.  I am afraid to "delete account" as I fear it will delete her information.  How do I change the icloud account?

    Go to iTunes menu, STORE and sign out.  Then you can sign in from there or create a new account which should match the account you have on your iPad and iPhone.

  • HT201263 Bought second hand iPhone not realising logged into iCloud, Please help me remedy this problem?

    Hi there good people, I recently purchased an iPhone 4 from a sales site on Facebook, I checked to see that the phone was not signed in to App Store/iTunes but didn't occur to me that it could still be logged into iCloud (Which it is) as I thought you could only use 1 Apple ID per handset at any given time.  3 months have passed and all was fine, until today when I dropped the phone and now a box pops up wanting iCloud password every 5 Seconds after I've cancelled the last one.  I got in contact with the guy I bought it from but as three months have passed he says he can't remember the password he used and was not able to log out of iCloud because of this. (plus he's switched to Android)  I took the phone to my local phone repair shop and they told me there is nothing can be done without the account password, my question is:  Will the "Recovery Mode" trick work with this problem?  I'm sorry but I simply refuse to believe that there is no solution or way round this... I know Apple are very tight on security but what would I have done if this was a brand new iPhone 6 instead, would I simply accept that I was the proud owner of an extremely expensive house brick?  I welcome any advice that might help me to reset the damned phone... Thanking you in advance for your time and effort.  Daniel Grant.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance
    from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to
    unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through
    iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • HT204053 How do I log into iCloud to see what I have stored on it and how do I change my password if I forgot it?

    When I first got my iPad mini for Christmas I didn't think that I set up an iCloud account. When I go to iCloud in my settings it says that I have stuff in an iCloud account. How do I find out if I have an iCloud account and how would I get a new password or reset the password. Also, how do log into log into iCloud to see what I have in storage. Thanks.... if you need to contact me about this matter. I have an iPad mini.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You aren't addressing Apple here.  This is a user forum and you shouldn't post personal information here such as your email address.  I've asked the host to remove it.
    As for your question, go to Settings>iCloud and write down the email address shown next to "Account".  That's your iCloud ID.  Then, if you can't remember the password for the ID, go here to reset it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36.  Once you have the new password, you can go to icloud.com from your computer and sign into to see some of the data you are syncing with iCloud.  If you are syncing your iPad with iCloud, this data is on your iPad too.  You are syncing the data that you have set to On in Settings>iCloud.

  • HT5625 I reset my password, but it still won't let me log into iCloud.  I have not ever been able to sign up for it, I don't have the original email to do so.  Please help.

    I have not been able to log into icloud, nor set it up.  It keeps telling me to check my email to set up.  There is nothing from apple/icloud there.  How do I get another email so I can set it up?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Please check your inbox again and also the spam/junk folder.

  • I'm trying to verify my apple id but when i log into icloud to get the email it says 'the apple id has not been verifed.' So how do i verify my account if it wont let me log into to icloud mail?

    I'm trying to verify my apple id but when i log into icloud to get the email it says 'the apple id has not been verifed.' So how do i verify my account if it wont let me log into to icloud mail? stressing me out please help me

    You have to respond to the verification email that Apple should have sent to you by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  This would not normally be an @icloud.com email address.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • My iPad was logging me out so I have reset it - I cannot log into iCloud now and also my login for app updates defaults to an incorrect email address can anyone suggest how to re configure

    My iPad was logging me out so I have reset it - it retained all apps but I cannot now log into iCloud and when downloading apps it defaults to the wrong email details so the iPad doesn't recognise it to update - can anyone suggest how to resolve this

    Have you attempted to access your Apple ID through iforgot.apple.com ?
    If you have access to the internet, you should be able to go through the process of resetting your Apple ID password via security questions or email.
    Assuming that you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes/App Stores, resetting your password may help you log back into iCloud and the iTunes/App Stores.

  • I try and log into icloud but the get the message valid apple id but not an icloud account. help anyone

    I try and log into icloud but it wont let me. It saya my appleid is valid but I dont have an icloud account. how do I get one?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to log in iCloud on an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac first before being able to use iCloud on your PC. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
    If you haven't got an iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac, you can't use iCloud

  • I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work

    I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work. i really dont want to lose these photos but i am very unsure of what to do to resolve. can anyone please help?
    thank you

    If you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
    Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
    Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
    Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup.

  • HT5624 How can I track the MACbook Pro that just used my apple ID to log into iCloud?  (I just got an email stating that someone just used it?)

    Here is the email:
    Your Apple ID ([email protected]) was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13".  I had a MacBook Pro stolen in January and I'm wondering if someone was using that stolen computer to login??
    Anyway to track the computer trying to log in using my other Apple ID?

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in System preferences>icloud), then you can try to track it.  Using another computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the mac is listed as "offline", then you can't track it.

  • HT204053 Can I log into iCloud with an alias email?

    Noob here, did a search and couldn't seem to find an answer. (or I didnt look hard enough. ) So aplogies if these have already been asked before.
    I want to change my iCloud email address, but I've searched around here and read that you can't change it once you create it and link it to your apple ID. So, I created an alias and was wondering if you could log into iCloud with an alias email?
    For example if my iCloud address is [email protected] and my alias was [email protected], could I go to icloud.com and login using [email protected]?
    Also, what are the proper steps to get the alias email to behave like the icloud primary email;I stupidly chose a dumb icloud email address and regret it, and if I set the alias to be the only email to be able to send mail in my iphone and macbook, can I basically ignore the primary icloud email and use the alias the whole time to send and compose mail?
    Also, I don't necessarily need to know/use the primary icloud email, since I use my apple ID to log into icloud.com?
    From what I understand, the primary icloud that is linked to your apple ID is mail server, right? I'm not really sure, to be honest.
    Thanks!

    In the Mail application on your Mac, add the aliases, separated by commas, to the 'Email address' field in Preferences>Accounts>General. They will then appear in the drop-down menu for the 'From' address in the New message pane.
    They already appear in the equivalent place in the new message pane at icloud.com.

  • I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

    I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud.  In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it.  Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

    If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
    In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.
