Maximum Number of Simultaneous Accounts?

Is there a maximum number of accounts I can have running at the same time? I have fast user switching turned on and would like to run up to 10 accounts at a time.

Daniel,
I don't see why not, but then I also don't see what possible reason you would have for doing this. Keep in mind that your MBP may become very sluggish with this many accounts active at one time, especially if you do not have your RAM maxed out.

I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup. The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks

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.

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

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.

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.

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 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?

See this previous discussion.
icloud: The maximum number of free...: Apple Support Communities

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

Which is the maximum number of simultaneous IP sessions on 7600 with/out SAMI?

Please I need help from someone who has ever wondered and get to know the maximum number of simultaneous IP sessions on 7600.
On the documentation, this is the applicable information that we find regarding the number of sessions:
http://www9.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/isg/configuration/guide/isg_acess_sub_sessns_ps6922_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html
Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE, the Cisco 7600 router supports IP subscriber sessions only on the SIP400 and ES+ line cards
The Cisco 7600 router enforces limits on the number of IP subscriber sessions per line card and router chassis. If the number of active sessions exceeds the following limits, an error message displays:
- Cisco 7600 chassis—32,000 subscriber sessions (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE1 and later releases)
- ES+ line card—4000 subscriber sessions per port group; 16,000 sessions per line card (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRE and later releases)
- SIP400 line card—8000 subscriber sessions (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRD4 and later releases)
Let us suppose that we use the SIP400 line card, since ES+ is far from our networking requirements.
Please confirm/answer the following:
No special license is required to use ISG with SIP400.
Is the 8000 session limitation per SIP400 module or per SPA attached to it?
I read in the documentation, that the SAMI card enhances the maximum number of ISG sessions:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/isg/configuration/guide/isg_sup_sami_blade.html
The ISG Support for SAMI Blade feature combines the subscriber management features and functions of the Cisco Intelligent Services Gateway (ISG) with the processing power of the Cisco Service Application Module for IP (SAMI). The Cisco SAMI blade has six PowerPC (PPC) processors and occupies just one slot in the Cisco 7600 series router. This means that you can support many ISG features for up to 600,000 subscribers on a single router.
We then assume that the SAMI blade overcomes the limitations noted above: 32,000 session/chassis and 8,000 sessions/SIP400. Correct?
No extra license is required to use ISG with SAMI.

How I can load a license in a home agent (modulo SAMI), which is installed in a 7606-S router?.

I cant open an iclude account. they wrote the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone.

i bought my iphone from someone, then i created apple id, i forgot the password...and created a new one
now i want to creat iCLOUD with my last apple id and it wrote the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone.
what can i do ?! someone can help me?

Tell your brother to do the following. He will need your Apple ID and password to create your account.
Open his "my photo stream" album on his phone and save any photos he wants to keep to his camera roll by tapping Edit, taping all the photos, taping Share, then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
When finished, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. This will only delete his account and the data he is syncing with iCloud from his phone, but not from iCloud. His data will be synced back to his phone when he signs back in at step 5.
In Settings>iCloud, sign back in with your Apple ID and password to create your new account. Do not turn on any iCloud data syncing (i.e., keep everything turned to Off in Settings>iCloud).
In Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account. If prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone.
In Settings>iCloud, sign back in with his original iCloud ID and password and turn his iCloud data syncing back to On. This will sync his iCloud data back to his phone.
His phone should now be back to where he started, except that it's likely that not all his photo stream photos will be in his my photo stream album (which is why he saved them to his camera roll at the beginning).
You can now go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and sign in with your Apple ID to use the new account he created for you on his phone.

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.

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 360

Why 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

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.

HT5622 "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone" message is received when I try to set up iCloud. How can I overcome this problem please?

I tried to set up icloud on my iphone 4 and I get this message that "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone". My iphone was used by someone else before I got it. How do I deactivate these accounts or overcome this problem?

You were trying to create a new Apple ID for icloud. But once the device reaches is max allowed to create IDs then you can't create more. That's your situation now. To create a new account you must use another device or computer.
You can't deactivate or turn back the clock.

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!

Keith Kizer wrote:
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.
