My iphone is getting a message of "this device is no longer eligible for an Icloud account"
Hello, I am resetting my iPhone 5 and I am getting a message that says " this device is not eligible for a an icloud email" . I don't know which email I used to set it up. How can I delete it from the device.

From what I read recently on the Forum a iPad can only have 3 free accounts. If you want a free iCloud account you need to recycle one of the old accounts.
You can't 'recycle' (nor delete) an iCloud account. As said above, you can create an account elsewhere and then sign into it on the iPad in question.

when i am creating a free iCloud a/c the message is being displayed as"This device is no longer eligible for free iCloud a/c", when i am creating a free iCloud a/c the message is being displayed as"This device is no longer eligible for free iCloud a/c"
There is a limit to how many free accounts that can be created on an iOS device. You will either need to use one that you've already created on it, or create another one on a different device or computer.

"This device is no longer eligible for creating an Apple ID" What does that mean?
I use my Apple ID to log into iCloud and get this message saying "This device is no longer eligible for creating an Apple ID." Thing is I am not trying to create an account. I am just trying to log in to setup iCloud. Does this mean my computer not able to run and use iCloud? I had once created a MobileMe account a few years ago, but deleted it when I couldn't afford it. I wonder if that could be causing a problem. NOt really sure. I got my MacBook Pro in 2007. It is up to date with new operating system and updated programs. I would call Apple about this, but don't want to be charge for the phone call. Not sure what I am suppose to do. I am going to see if wil let me do it with my iPhone....but I will see no point in using iCloud if I can't move items between my phone and computer. I am hoping tomorrow or so things should be working.. but it is still annoying that things are not working.
So I some how got it all to work now. Once I began to get it to work on my iPhone I was informed that I had not verified my e-mail. Once I did iCloud worked on both my computer and my iPhone. So I am happily on my way to using the new technologies. This is why I never give up on a problem. XD

Can anyone from Apple answer this question? I want to sell my ipod touch but it shows up as "This device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account". What do I do? Can I go to the Apple store and request that they delet all accounts associated with the ipod? Is that possible? Help!!! Really frustrated at Apple right now.

"this device is no longer eligible for creating a free icloud account" what that mean and how to resolve this problem
Guess we're stucked and live with it. I hate this policy of limiting accounts to use on a device but the good thing is I just logged in using my account and asked my daughter what are the apps and music she wanted to download on the device. After we load everything she needs, I just deleted my account in the device and disassociated it from my iCloud account. It's still works as intended but the only caveat is she cannot use the find my ipad application.

i cant create apple ID, its showing "this device is no longer eligible for creating a free icloud account
Hello Kalpesh,
I had the same issue on my iPod touch 4th Gen, I noticed the issue after updating the device to 6.1.5. I dont know what device or IOS your running but if it is similar then I think this ma be the cause. My solution to you is to create a free apple ID on their website, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId. Hope this helped and good luck! -

I am not able to create a new i cloud apple id apple phone showing this error (can't create apple id this device is no longer eligible FOR CREATING A FREE ICLOUD ACCOUNT). So i requested please help us.
Thanks
Sudhir SainiAny one device can create only three iCloud accounts; if your phone has already created three then it can never create any more - this is tied to the hardware, not the user account. You can create an iCloud account on another iOS device or a Mac and then you will be able to sign into that on your phone.

Any one device or Mac can create only three iCloud accounts - because they are free it's to prevent people being greedy and creating unreasonable numbers of accounts. If you have already created three iCloud accounts on your device then you can't create any more - there is no workaround for this, and it's tied to the hardware, not the account.
You can create an account on another device or Mac which hasn't reached its limit, then you will be able to sign into it on the device in question.
You can create three additional email addresses (not accounts) within each iCloud account in the form of 'email aliases' - these deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

This device is no longer eligible for creating a free icloud account
After using it for a while an iPad 2 that was given to me by my Boss, I restored this iPad and gave it to my daughter. She encountered the error above during her set-up while creating her own iCloud account to the iPad. What shall we do?

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?
This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.
