  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

  • HT204053 What do you do when you get the message when trying to sign into iCloud.. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad.. ? Not allowing me to sign in.

    Can someone please tell me. When trying to sign into icloud. i get the message.. Cannot sign in . The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad. What do I do ? Hope someone can help.

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

  • I forgot the password on my ipad and i didnt sign into icloud or find my iphone and i connected my ipad to itunes but it doesnt let me restore my ipad as it does not connect to the apple software what should i do?

    I forgot my password to my iPad and it said to connect to iTunes so I did. I went on Apple support to try and find a way to restore my iPad. The options given were to either sign into iCloud of Find my iPhone and restore it, but it wouldn't work because I didn't download the Find my iPhone app and I wasn't signed into iCloud. My other option was to connect to iTunes and restore it so I tried many times but it keeps saying that the apple software cannot be connected. I used Apple support once again to see if i can sort out the problem but nothing seems to work. Is there anything else that I can do to restore it??   

    Try this:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • When signing into icloud on a second hand ipad2 i bought with my apple Id, it would let me and states the maximimum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad.

    Hey
    When signing into icloud with my apple Id on a second hand Ipad 2 i bought it won't let me and states 'The maxium number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad. How do i sign into icloud then? Help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Make sure you are using the sign in option and not trying to create a new one. If you need to create a new ID...
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your 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 iOS device or Mac computer.

    Where are you resetting the password? On your computer, I assume since you cannot use the iPad?
    Have you tried a reset to see if the popup will disappear?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

  • IPad stuck on "sign into iCloud" pop up

    Hey everybody,
    I have searched online for the past 2 hours trying to sort this, and before I launch my iPad across the room, I thought I would take a shot at enquiring in here to see if anyone can help me.
    I turned my iPad on today for the first time since moving house. Upon turning on I was greeted with  something along the lines of "iPad has not been backed up in 3 weeks, sign in to back up now". So, I enter my password and it says it's incorrect. There is an option to reset it, which I click, but I cannot get on the internet as I'm yet to connect to the wifi. I cancel the dialog box and am now being continually harassed by "sign into iCloud". By the time I cancel one, another appears!
    As I've just moved home I can't even connect to the wifi through these bloody pop ups. Nor do I longer have a laptop to plug it into and use to access iTunes; it has all be set up over wifi.
    I have tried the reset (holding down home and power button) to no avail, and obviously Apple advisors are not available at this hour.
    I am seriously losing patience and I'm really hoping someone here can help me :(.
    Many thanks in advance ! X

    Dear Sky,
    I did consider that before posting. My mom was having this exact same issue today. This post came up on my google search when I was searching for solutions. Coley1991 describes the issue very well. I noticed that no solution was ever posted and that 84 other people in the last 6months have had this issue. Therefore I decided to post a solution for the record... for the archives...for the future poor souls who fall into this aggravating iCloud/wifi/apple ID log in trap and are a hair away from smashing their device on a rock out of frustration. I hope it helps.

  • IPad won't let me do anything unless I sign into iCloud

    Generally I can get onto my iPad and play games, but now it won't let me do anything. A pop-up will come and say that I need to sign into iCloud. The password I have for it will not work though. I can't try to do anything unless I sign in. I will push "ok" on the pop-up and it'll come back a second later. How do I make it stop popping up?

    Put in the correct password.

  • I was given an old macbook, but when I tried signed into iCloud to get my calendar

    I was given an old macbook  which I've slowly been making my own, however, when I tried signed into iCloud to get my calendar and contacts onto said macbook, all of the previous owner's data merged with mine. I lost all my phone numbers, gained all of his on both macbook & ipad and now I'm not entirely sure what to do. if I sign out of iCloud all his data disappears, my email address remains, but all phone numbers are lost. If I sign into iCloud, he apperas on my Ipad gain. I am confused and need help. Anyone..? Thanks in advance

    You can see if they might still be on your Mac, but just not in view by opening Contacts (Address Book), go to View>Groups to display your groups on the left sidebar, then seeing if they might be under On My Mac.
    If they aren't, and they aren't in your iCloud account or any of your devices, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup (if you have one).  Doing this is a bit tricky as you have to pull the internet connection to interrupt the restore process after the contacts are restored, then turn off iCloud contact syncing on the device, then reconnect the internet and finish the restore, delete the existing contacts from iCloud then turn on contacts syncing on the device again.  Otherwise, when the restore process completes and your device reconnects to iCloud, the contacts in iCloud will overwrite the restored contacts on the device.  The process for doing this is outlined in this user tip if you want to try it: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.
    If they are still on your Mac under On My Mac, you can select the contacts and save them to a vCard file by going to File>Export>Export vCard.  Then email this file to yourself, open it on your iPad and tap the attachment to import them to iCloud.

  • I can't sign into iCloud. It says the maximum number of accounts allowed has been used. iPad is secondhand. How do I clear it of previously used accounts.

    I Can't sign into iCloud. I get a message saying that the maximum number of free accounts has been reached on my device. It is a secondhand device that had been wiped. The seller has no idea why this is happening.

    Thanks for reply. I can't get find my iPad. I've just looked in App Store to no avail. My daughter in law says I need to sign in to iCloud for that an that's not possible. My phone is an android an finding apple very difficult to use but she has phone an pad an she connected my pad to laptop to try an sort it with no luck. She also sent some docs to my kindle app through iTunes. I just tried to update Amazon an got asked for password for her email address instead of mine. This iPad is a nightmare. thanks anyway from Sally.

  • My Apple ID is verified, when I sign into iCloud on iPad it can not verify?

    My Apple ID shows "verified" on the manage my ID page on Apples website, when I sign into iCloud on iPad it can not verify?

    Try going 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 iPhone 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.

    I'm experiencing a log in issue on my MBA since installing ML this morning. However, I am able to sign into iCloud via my iPhone, iPad and on the web without issue. This only occurs when I attempt to go into iCloud setting in system pref's... I have attempted to change my password and also reloaded iCloud. Neither of these actions resolved the issue. When I open iCloud preferences in system preferences on my Mac, it prompts me to enter my appleID and password. Once entered, it just hangs...
    What exactly did you do (verified your apple ID/iCloud but in a very difficult way)?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the Finder use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears when you do this.
    Navigate to Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences
    You will notice that many of the items are Aliases (to the Originals in ~/Library/Preferences).
    But there are exceptions.
    Delete (Drag to Trash)  the com.apple.soagent.plist and com.apple.messageshelper.AccountInfoController.plist
    Restart the Mac (I have not worked out is SOAgent launches when the Mac does).
    Restart Messages.
    If this does not work navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
    In here find and Delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
    This will need a Restart of the app.
    You will be asked Again for your Apple ID

    Hi stanlaw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below should help you with this.
    Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
    How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
    When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
    3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • My iPad keeps asking me to sign into iCloud

    but when I go to sign out of the iCloud in settings it says my password is incorrect. How does that work? When it has allowed me to sign into iCloud on the same device using my actual password.
    ANd how do I stop my iPad continually asking me to sign into it anyway? It comes up all the time, checking email, reading on here, using the Internet etc.
    All i want to do is sign out of or delete my existing account on here and use another account, without habing to constantly sign into the iCloud
    regards

    Hi Sign out of itunes then Sign back in. That may help. Cheers Brian

  • I can't sign into iCloud from my iPad

    When I try to sign into iCloud on my iPad using the Settings app, I get the message "User name or password is incorrect".  I know that's not the case because I just signed into iCloud on my computer using exactly the same user name and password.
    Moreover, when this happens the Settings app locks up.  I can't dismiss the alert that says the user name or password was incorrect.  I have to force quit Settings app to do anything else with it.
    I've attached a screen shot of the Settings app and the alert message.

    I just figured it out.  I had to manually delete my Mobile Me account from my iPad before signing into iCloud. Problem fixed.
