Maximum number of iCloud accounts on iPad 1 with iOS 5.
I recently sold my old iPad 1 online, however, I was informed by the person who purchased the iPad that he was no longer able to create iCloud accounts on the iPad because it said that the maximum number of iCloud accounts for that device had been exceeded. Is there any way to use iCloud on iPad 1 in such a situation? Will a factory reset help?
Any device, iOS or OS X, has a lifetime limit of how many new iCloud accounts can be actived using it, which is 3. Once that number of iCloud accounts has been actived from that device, that device cannot be used any longer to make any new iCloud accounts. There is no way around that restriction.
You can use that device with whatever existing iCloud account you wish to set up on it, but you cannot use it to create any new iCloud accounts.
The person who bought your iPad will have to initially create their iCloud account from another Apple device. Once created, they can use their iCloud account on your old iPad.

i bought a used iphone4s and it says that the maximum number of icloud accounts have already been registered on it and i cannot now access to it. what to do?
That message it means that you will not be able to create another iCloud account on your device as the maximum number have already been created. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create your new account using on a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

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.

My device says, "Maximum number of iCloud coounts have been logged on". What should I do now?
My device says, "Maximum number of iCloud accounts have been logged on"
Someone help m, what should I do now to start using iCloud on my same device?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.

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

I cannot sign into icloud.. It says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad. What can I do ?
You'll have to use a different device to setup iCloud, and then sign in using that account.
Is it a second hand iPad, or have you created multiple accounts on it already for some reason? -
When I try to sign in with my Apple ID (that I use with AppStore) to iCloud on my iPad2,
I see this message:
''The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPad''.
So what shall I do?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. -
can not sign in to Icloud it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation
Error Message: "Cannot sign in. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad/iphone"
I encountered the same problem when I purchased a used iPad for my elderly father and couldn't set it up for him. I called Apple Support...
Apple support could NOT help me. I was told there is no way to circumvent the 3 icloud setup limit on iOS devices at their end. I was told to use a different mac or iOS device that hadn't met the 3 x limit.
So, using MY iPad I tried to do that. At first I went to Settings/iCloud. But that is your PRIMARY iCloud account (and this was MY iPad and I didn't want to screw up my own settings!) which you don't want to trash.
After some online research (iMore to be exact) I discovered you can setup a secondary iCloud account using:
Settings/Mail,Contact,Calendars --> Add Acount... -->iCloud --> Get A Free AppleID --> Birthday Q then Security Question - then Name - then Get a free iCloud email address....
After you get to the new iCloud settings page at the end of the signup process - I deselected all the tabs which made the new account "inactive" on my iPad.
Next I went to the used iPad that had the initial problems, and tapped on Settings/iCloud. I signed in with the iCloud account that was newly created and was able to then get an iCloud account to work!
I left the new iCloud account showing on my own iPad (under Mail,Contacts,Calendars) as it is inactive. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it - it may stop working on my father's iPad then. -
Why am i having this problem on icloud "the maximum number of free account have been activated on this ipad"
Judging from other posts it looks like there is a maximum of 3 accounts that can be created on a device - you could either re-use one of the accounts that you've already created or create a new one on a different device or computer

How can I get on iCloud when it say the maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this IPad?
A maximum of three new iCloud accounts can be created on a single iOS device. If you have already created three iCloud accounts (why?) then log in using one of those to start using it.
Otherwise, you'll have to find another device to create an iCloud account on. -
When I try to sign into my iCloud.i get a massage saying that The maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this I pad. Please can you tell me how to get round this problem ?
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.

The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPad
We're using a number of iPad Minis in a lab environment to train students and volunteers.
We're receiving the message "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPad" after three accounts have been created on an iPad. Since we have a new group of students every 4 to 8 weeks, we need to find a way to allow free accounts, and we don't want to require students to provide credit cards.
We've looked at the work around to go to iTunes, Quick Links and Redeem, but that's a little messy for hundreds of students a month.
Is there a way to remove the association between the free accounts and the iPad serial number?
A couple of notes:
1. We can set them up under AppleID.apple.com, but as soon as we try to load a Free app (all the apps we use are free), it prompts for a credit card number and won't let them continue.
2. There is not a "None" option on the credit cards, as least for the apps we're using. Is this option app specific, or is this a feature that comes and goes, based on Apple's changing policies?
3. The iPads are in DEP and are managed via Maas 360Why do the students need an account? Are they downloading apps?
You should be downloading apps by Mass 360. That means apps will be owned by mass 360 not individual student ids.
You may be in a bit of trouble. You need to get the students to go into there apple id and detach the ipads. Oh, well. Contact apple.
Somehow you are not on the golden path. Not sure how to advise you to get on it. I'm not sure how you get rid of the current apple ids.
Enterprise support:
Call enterprise support (866) 752-7753
I suspect you will have to go through this process to get rid of the ids

TS3988 The maximum number of free accounts have already been created on this iPad
My iCloud error message when I try to sign in, the maximum number of free accounts have already been activated on this iPad. Someone please tell me what I can do to solve this problem, I would really like to back up my iPad in case anything was to happen. If a solution is not available, does anyone know of an app I can download/purchase to back up everything?

HT204053 The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPad - what to do??
In trying to sign in to my iCloud account on a new (to me) iPad, I get the message that "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPad".
Anyone know the resolution to this issue? The iPad previously belonged to two other staff members and now won't let me use iCloud.
Thanks!Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, once all your ICloud accounts have been used up on your device, you cannot create any more, no matter what you do. You will need to either reuse one of the accounts you have already created or use another device to create your account. -
