My iCloud account wont sign in on my computer!

I restored my hard drive and for some reason it wont let me sign back into my iCloud account through system preferences.
I've tried resetting my password and a few other things, but it still wont let me.
It wont even let me sign out of my account!
Please help me out - my iCal is really important on my Macbook.

What happens when you try?

    You can't create an iCloud account on your PC.  You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher).  After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

    I do not have the option to do that as there is no icloud preference pane, there is only a mobile me preference pane.
    the ssystem is recent, 10.7.0 or a bit higher.
    the computer switched from my wifes address book to my address book becuase it was set up to my iclud account (it was my computer for a short time).
    she has a back up on icloud but i cannot switch the account from the computer anywhere.
    You need at least 10.7.2, check that you do have that, 10.7 is insufficient. Post back with your OSX version.

  • How do i remove an icloud account without signing out

    I was wondering how to remove an old icloud account. I have an iphone 4s, (ios 8.1.3). a pop up keeps coming up saying to sign into your icloud account, but it is under an old email that has been deactivated for years. I have a new icloud account, but I dont know how to sign into it on my device, because when i open icloud on my device, it says "sign into ********* and everything is grey (unclickable), including the Sign Out button at the bottom. I have no idea what to do now. please help

    There is no way if Find my iPhone is turned on. You must know the Apple ID and password. This is Activation Lock, an antitheft feature of iOS 7. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

  • HT204053 Can two different icloud accounts used for the same mac computer and same Itunes account still transfer photos and downloaded apps to all devices associated with that mac?

    I purchased my wife an Iphone and we currently use the same icloud account, but we just ran out of storage. I'm not sure if we need so much more space that I'm ready to upgrade to 15 total GB of storage. If my wife sets up her own icloud account for her iphone will she and I still be able to share our photos, downloaded apps and music with different icloud accounts?

    Apps and music aren't anything to do with your iCloud account, indeed you can use different ID's for each.
    If you create and use another ID for iCloud, you will not be able to share both photostreams to the same user account on the computer.
    This could be worked around with a second user account on the computer for the second user to do all their computing in. However you may find that photostreams shared albums will work around the problem for you. For example if you create a shared album and share it with your partner, any photos you add to that album will be available in your partners photostream on the computer.

  • My iCloud account is on my wife's computer. How do we change it to her iCloud account

    How do I remove my icloud account from our Mac and put my wife's on instead?

    You're welcome, and if your wife and yourself are going to share a Mac it would be a good idea to create 2 user accounts, one for each of you, each containing your own stuff.

  • Eprintcent​er and snapfish accounts wont sign in....

    I am trying to use the Savings Center but HP asks me to sign in first. When I do, I enter my HP sign-in information and then it takes me to another screen asking me to link my Snapfish and HP accounts together because they are the same email. When I enter my Snapfish password, I always get the notice that the password is 'invalid'. I have even tried to reset the password but still no luck. I am unable to log-in to my HP services because of this snapfish issue. Help!

    Hi  natecube;
    Are you still experiencing  this problem ? If you are I will do my best to help you.
    Try this;
    "Do you have another HP account in existence?  Normally when someone has this
    issue, they have an existing Snapfish HP account.
    1. Go to www.snapfish.com and click on ""log in"" at the top right.
    2. On the splash screen that comes up click on the ""forgot your password"" link and submit your email.
    3. You should receive an email with a link and a temporary password.
    4. Click on the link and log in with the temp password.
    5. Change your password to something that has at least 6 characters (at least 1 of those should be a number).
    6. Go back to www.eprintcenter.com and click on Sign In.
    7. On the next screen do not put your email or password, but click on the small Snapfish below.
    8. On the splash screen that comes up log in with your email and the password you just created at Snapfish. This will merge your HP accounts and you should be able to log in to www.eprintcenter.com normally after that."
    If you are not experiencing this issue any longer,  May you let me know, your time and courtesy,
    will be deeply appreciated.
    Hope this is helpful!

  • Trying to change my iCloud apple ID to match my iTunes. Unlike previous question, my iCloud account does not even exist anymore, so I'm not able to sign OUT of it on my phone. I'm stuck because I can't sign in or out of it.

    A while back I changed the login that I use for my account. For some reason when I got my new iPhone, iCloud decided to log me in using the older email account. Since it doesn't technically exist anymore, I can't use it to sign into my phone. But I keep getting popups on my phone every minute asking me to log in with my (now non-existant) iCloud account. I'd like to be able to sign out of that iCloud account and sign in with the same email address that I use for my iTunes account. However, I can't even log out of my iCloud account on my phone because signing out requires a password also! What to do?

    Hello florabb,
    You may be able to change or reset the password on this old iCloud/Apple ID account, even if you no longer have access to the email address associated with it. Once the password is changed/updated, you should be able to log your iPhone out of the old iCloud/Apple ID account and log in to the correct new account. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Hey there jackofromgriffith,
    I understand that you have an iPhone from your friend that is still associated with their iCloud account. You will need to disassociate the iPhone from your friend’s iCloud account in order to resolve your issues:

  • How do I avoid duplicates after signing back in to my current iCloud account on my iPad?

    I had to delete my newer iCloud account and sign in to the App store with my old AppleID to download missing apps on my first generation iPad. I did not delete Contacts or Calendar entries when I deleted the newer account so the data is still on my iPad. After I updated the apps I deleted the old account and signed on again with my newer account. I did not allow any data to merge when I signed in with either account. My question is: if I turn on Contacts and Calendar will the data duplicate? If so how can I avoid that happening? (I hope I explained this clearly enough)

    Having just changed my Apple ID to separate myself from my son who was sharing my ID I can tell you how to handle this in IOS7.  I went to the Apple web site and established my new ID.
    I followed the advice on this support page to change my Apple ID  Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    I then followed the advice on this page to update the ID on my device Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    IMPORTANT!!!! When you delete your iCloud for your old Apple ID off your phone you will lose all your documents that are in the cloud but not your contacts that are out in the cloud.  Also, before following the directions on the"Sign in with a Different Account" page to delete the iCloud Apple ID first turn off iCloud sync on each item individually.  When you turn off the sync it will ask you if you want to keep the data on your phone.  Yes you do want this.  After turning off sync individually Delete the iCloud account for the old Apple ID.  Then when you then sign into iCloud with your new Apple ID select the Merge option and it will upload all your contacts and data to the iCloud account for your new Apple ID.
    If you simply Delete your iCloud account it will delete all your contacts off your phone.  If you delete iCloud without first turning sync off Contacts and your contacts are then deleted off your phone, don't worry.  Simply log back into iCloud with your old account and your contacts will be restored.  Then you can turn off the sync on all items, Delete the old account from iCloud, sign in with the new apple Id, select Merge iPhone data.  So it puts your contacts and data from your phone into your new iCloud account.

  • I am having trouble trying to get my address book from my mac (just downloaded Lion for this purpose) to my 3G ipad. Set up an icloud account but still confused! Please help !

    I updated my mac with  os x Lion so that I could accomplish moving my address book from the mac to my new IPad 3G.

I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah

    The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
    You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
    On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
    Sign into your iCloud account.
    Tick everything.
    This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
    On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Create a new iCloud account.
    Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
    Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
    BAM!
    That is all you need to do.
    Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
    No need to use iTunes
