Not able to sign in for iCloud

Hi All,
I am now using my first iPhone (not new one though !!!) but I am not able to sign in to iCloud . The below error screen pops up every time.
This phone was used before by my friend (he had created an iCloud account from this device), from whom I have borrowed. So guys can you plz help me sort out this problem ? What to do, whom to approach etc.

If you didn't create an iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac, you don't have one.  You can't create an account on a PC.  If you were charged for an iCloud storage upgrade without having an account, contact the Apple online store at the bottom of this page for a refund.

  • Not able to sign up for iTunes Match with iTunes Gift Card

    Last night I purchased $30.00 worth of iTunes Gift cards , redeemed the cards against my iTunes account and attempted to sign up for the iTunes Match ($24.99 per year) only to find out that I must provide a credit card on file before they will allow me to sign up.  I never imaged that Apple would require a credit card on file. One of the reasons that I chose Apple products was the ability to purchase with iTunes Gift cards to reduce my risk of fraud when the account become compromised . 
    Also I have Apple IDs for each of my children and they receive  iTunes Gift cards as presents that they purchase Apps, Music etc that they want.  That way when they grow up and leave home they have their own Apple accounts to take with them.  Apple should want life long Apple customers!!   Just to let you know 14 year olds don’t normally have credit cards and I would never put my Credit Card info attached to their account. So if they own a Laptop, iPhone and iPad they are discriminated from using your iTunes Match because they don’t have a credit card?  Really????
    Apple to just let you know that I have a Microsoft XBOX Live membership that I purchase a Live gift card once a year to renew my subscription.  I can’t believe that Microsoft can figure out how to provide customers a better user experience that Apple.    
    Please fix this quickly as I would like to use your iTunes Match and other iCloud services that you plan on releasing later this year however I will not be using my credit card so I may have to look for other device options.   If you need any help figuring out how to meet your business requirements please let me know as I would be glad to provide suggestions.
    Thank you,
    The Next Steve Jobs
    PS  If any one over there knows a way around this please let me know. 

    I've been through the same ordeal. I wanted to renew my iTunes Match service, had over $100 credit in the iTunes Store, but wasn't able to use that credit to pay for the renewal. Apple requires you have a valid, working credit card on file to renew for some reason. But once you put in a credit card, the charge is actually taken from your store credit, not the credit card. So, it's very odd and doesn't make any sense to me, either. But there's no way around it without a credit card, that's what Apple Support told me when I contacted them about this same issue.

  • HT5622 Can't sign up for iCloud because ID is tied to old email

    The Apple ID I've been using for the last six years is tied to an old email that I can't remember the password for anymore. This means that I've never been able to sign up for iCloud because I have no way of clicking the verification email. I've never cared until Yosemite came out and has all these awesome features that need iCloud to work. This is the ID i've go my iPhone using. Is there like a procedure to get and ID switched to a new email?

    You can change the primary email account associated with your Apple ID to a new email account which you have access to as explained here: Change your Apple ID.  Once you've done that, you can create your iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud, signing in with the ID, then checking the items you want to sync with iCloud.  Once you have created the account on your Mac, go to Settings>iCloud on your iOS devices, sign in with the same ID, then turn on the items that you want to sync with iCloud.  There are more details on setting up iCloud here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.
    If you are sign into the old ID for other services, you'll need to sign out, then sign back in with the updated ID.  For example, if you are signed into the old ID for iMessage on your phone, you would go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the updated ID.

  • I have changed my e-mail address on the apple ID website and have been able to change it for ICloud.  My e-mail address (ID) has not changed for I-tunes and therefore, I can't install updates. ??

    If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

  • HT204053 I am trying to sign up for icloud using windows 7. When I enter my apple id it says "this is a valid apple id but is not an icloud account". Where do I create an icloud account?

    I already quoted the minimum requirements, look in the post before yours.
    You will have to upgrade your Mac to at least 10.7.5, upgrades are not free, you buy them from the App Store. Mountain Lion is the best but your Mac must be compatible.
    Here is a list of compatible machines.
    Also note that some older apps (Office 2004, Appleworks) will not run on Mountain Lion.

    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Because your account has been disabled, you will need to contact Apple ID account security to straighten this out.

    Hello Leanna,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing.  You can sign into iTunes with your Apple ID using these steps:
    Use your Apple ID with the iTunes Store
    Open the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.
    Click Review when asked to review your information.
    Enter your billing information.
    Click Continue after you enter your credit card and billing information. You can remove or edit your credit card information at any time. Learn more about updating your iTunes Store account information.

    You will also need to authorize your computer to play purchases with this Apple ID:
    Open iTunes
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

    With the latest version of iTunes on Windows, the menu bars are hidden, so you may need to enable them to get to the Store menu.  You can follow these steps to enable the menu bars:
    To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.

  • SINCE SIGNING UP FOR ICLOUD MAIL I HAVE LOST ACCESS TO MY AOL ACCOUNTS. HOW DO I GET OFF ICLOUD MAIL? IT DOES NOT WORK.

    I SIGNED UP FOR ICLOUD MAIL LAST NIGHT. TODAY I CANNOT OPEN AOL MAIL ON EITHER MY IMAC 20" OR MY MACBOOK PRO. CLEARLY ICLOUD IS A LOSER. HOW DO I DELETE ICLOUD MAIL?

    iCloud should have no affect on any other mail accounts on your computer, especially 2 different computers. Are you sure AOL isn't down?
    But if you believe it is affecting your AOL accounts, open Accounts tab in System Preferences and select the iCloud account uncheck mail and any other features you are using with iCloud. If you are using no iCloud features, sign out of iCloud completely. It will remove any iCloud email account from Mail.

  • I have created an apple id but it will not work on my pc for icloud.How do I sign into icloud?

    I have an apple id but that id will not work on my pc for icloud..How do I get an icloud id?

  • I tried to sign in for icloud set up with my apple id, i received a message that your account limit has reached, how to get icloud access then?

    i tried to sign in for icloud set up for the first time with my apple ID, But unable to get through as i receive a message saying your account limit is reached, then how to proceed.

    I can't say why it should be doing this. If it persists then your only options are to set it up on another Mac or iOS device if you can (then you will be able to sign into it), or failing that to contact Support - though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.
