My iCloud account doesn't exist on my mac mini.

Hello,
In the beginning I only had the home mac mini to use. Since I was tech savvy I got control of the computer. I created an apple ID and an iCloud account. Then I got my macbook pro and I logged into my iCloud account on there, but didn't set up keychain. I then changed my iCloud account setting on my macbook but it didn't change it on my mac mini. Now I'm trying to log into my iCloud account on the mac mini but I "forgot my password" and when I request to reset it, I never receive the email. It's because I don't exist. I can't get anyone on the phone, and when I try looking up my apple ID it says it doesn't exist. I can't make a new one with the old ID  either, because it does exist.
I'm trying to delete this ID/iCloud account but I can't access it.
Any solutions?
Thanks

First - I can't access my iCloud on my computer, no one's helped
I helped, but you never came back.

  • I have a paid mobile me account, idisk was working but now am getting an error message saying that the account doesn't exist.  Can I reset the account on idisk?

    I have a paid mobile me account and did have idisk working.  Now when I click on it I am being told that the account doesn't exist or is currently unavailable.  Any ideas?  Thanks

    Solution: No. Idea: Yes. A lot of "funny" things are supposed to happen while Apple moves MobileMe accounts to the new data center which will run iCloud. Maybe that's related....

  • If I try to log in to my Hotmail account in Firefox, Hotmail says my Hotmail account doesn't exist, while I can problemlessly log in in other browsers

    When I open Hotmail in Firefox and try to log in, Hotmail says my account doesn't exist. But I can problemlessly log in in other browsers, so I'm sure there's no problem with my account. Further, I'm absolutely sure I didn't misspell anything. Before this problem occured, I've always been able to log in to my Hotmail account in Firefox. I've already tried clearing my cookies and history, but it still doesn't work.

    Do you have stored any form fill data or passwords for live.login.com?

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

  • My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud?

    My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address for the police to go and claim it. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud? I've tried to get the IP address through Gmail and Dropbox but no success. Is there any software that updates automatically that I could find the IP address through?

    Shouldn't the IP address be on the box you bought the machine in? If you have the box, take it to the police as evidence that it's your machine. If I were you, I would set the firmware password when you get it back, but make sure you have the password written down in a safe place. If you forget it, there's only two ways to reset it. Either pay $400+ for the tool that can do it, or pay almost nothing for Apple to do it, I think it depends on where you live. The firmware password is this encrypted password and it can't be hacked either. The password prevents anyone from booting the machine into recovery mode, thus preventing them from restoring the computer to factory settings or performing any other functions. It's not stored in the hard drive so replacing that will be of no use either.
    I hope you get your Mac back and I hope this was helpful!

  • HT204053 I cannot see primary iCloud account templates or documents on my  Mac Air and/or iPad devices

    I cannot see primary iCloud account templates or documents on my  Mac Air and/or iPad devices

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What do you mean by primary iCloud templates and documents.
    Additionally, is your profile correct, because OS X 10.6.8 cannot use iCloud.

  • My husbands icloud account is set up on my mac but i want my icloud set up so i can view my photo stream

    My husband"s icloud account is set up on my mac but I want to set up mine to view my photo stream from my ipad

    In order to use Photo Stream with your own iCloud account it must be the 'primary account', signed into in System Preferences>iCloud. Presumably that's where your husband's account is signed in, so you will need to sign out, and then sign in your own account.
    You can then sign your husband's account in in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that his data appears alongside yours in Contacts, Calendars and so on. You won't be able to receive his photo stream unless he creates 'shared Photo Streams'.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I've forgot my password for icloud but the account doesn't exist anymore

    I've just bought an iphone 6 and i made a new apple id because i forgot the password to my old account but the email doesn't exist anymore for the icloud account so i cant even reset the password, ive used the back up from my iphone 5 on my iphone 6 which had find my iphone turned on so i can't restore my iphone 6 untill i turn it off which i cant because i have forgot the password and the account no longer exist what can i do ?

    Ok.  In that case you'll have to contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance changing the password for the old ID: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  You'll have to prove your identity to them before they will change it.  If your country isn't listed, contact iTunes store support for help with this by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • Trouble in creating a new iCloud account from the existing one

    my dad gave me his iPad which he bought(iPad 2) it's troubling me with the iCloud account, the iPad has my dad's existing iCloud account and I want to delete it but I don't have the password so does my dad he doesn't have the password for the account.so my question is could you assist me on how to create a new iCloud account without having the password of the old one.it uses iOS 7.1.2.

    You won't be able to delete the existing account in order to set up a new one without the password for the old account.  If your father doesn't remember the password, he can reset it as explained here: iCloud: Change your iCloud password.

  • How to delete iCloud account, with non-existing email as ID, on iPad?

    Cannot delete iCloud account (which happens to have a non-existing ID) on iPad in order to have same account as on iPhone - keep trying using current Apple ID and PW but to no avail - iCloud settings continue to insist that Apple ID/PW is wrong but they are the ones I have in "manage my ID"???

    If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • ICloud account doesn't work with iMessage and Facetime

    Very simply my iCould account (Appleid) will not work with iMessage or Facetime.  This is affecting my iPad 2, iPhone 4 and Macbook which are all running the most up to date OS version available.  I always get the error message "This email address cannot be used for iMessage." when I try to add that address to the "Receive at" list.
    I have wasted weeks investigating this and think it may be an issue with the setup of my Appleid.  My partner's account will work in all the scenario's I have a problem with and after comparing the accounts using https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ the difference seems to be that my partners Apple ID and Primary Email Address is also listed as a Verified Alternate Email Address...
    While for my appleid only my Gmail address is listed as an alternative...
    Apple will not allow me to add my Primary Email Address as an Alternate Email Address.
    Has anybody else had this problem and if so how on earth did you fix it.  Apple support have not been particularly useful and I would really like to make full use of iMessage and Facetime on my iPhone, iPpad and Macbook.
    Thanks
    Robyn

    I don't think there is much wrong with your set up as I see it. Using the same alternate address as your primary address is not a good idea, if there is something wrong with your iCloud account and Apple need to contact you they can't. I believe (but may be wrong), that for this reason Apple will no longer let you do this and why you get the error message you do. Your partner may have set hers up before Apple made this a requirement.
    Are you able to receive email on your phone via your me address, do you have your me address listed alongside your card in contacts, do you have the email address entered as your ID or alternate address in settings > Facetime.

  • How can I see which and how many iCloud accounts have been created on my Mac?

    I have reached the limit of iCloud accounts that can be created on my Mac (bit of a shock, I was blissfully unaware that there is a limit). In the past I had an iCloud account for each user but have since consolidated the users, now I am wondering if there is some way of seeing which accounts are attached to my Mac ID.
    Additionally if I delete some of those iCloud accounts, does the available limit reset? (From posts it seems not, but no real clarity on the issue).
    Thanx

    AFAIK this information is not available, but in any case there is nothing you can do once the limit has been reached. Of course you can check which accounts are signed in, but not accounts which may have been created but signed out from. Deleting accounts won't reset the limit, it's tied to the hardware (not the user account).
    If you want another account the only way is to create it on another device: then you can sign into it on your Mac.

  • Contacts & iCloud: can you have more than one iCloud account syncing with Contacts on the Mac?

    I want to set up a shared iCloud account for multiple users in a (very) small office environment, where several new iOS devices and, for the moment, two Macs (2012 13" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Mini) will be able to read/write to a shared Contacts account – and at the same time maintain a second, personal iCloud account linked to the same Contacts app on one machine, which account's contacts data will remain private and inaccessible to the other Macs/devices which are likewise using the shared account.
    Can this be done? (I.e., can Contacts app on a Mac include separate iCloud accounts?)
    If so, how to set it up?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your answer. There's no problem with others accessing that Mac – it's used by one person only – my question is can you add a second iCloud account to Contacts. Over the past two days I had tried to add the shared iCloud account to Contacts and kept getting failures. But maybe the server was down or the ISP was weird: your response assumes it can be done and so, to my embarrassment, I tried again just now and violá, it's done. Thanks again.
    P.S. Finding a simple presentation that makes clear you can have more than one iCloud accounts syncing to Contacts at the same time was very hard to find, either from Apple or others on the web. Maybe I don't know how to search, but they could do with a clear explanation of this for the uninitiated.
