On the iPhone has already been activated the maximum number of free accounts.
After updating to iOS 5.1 to 6.0.1 I can not log in to iCloud.
The whole thing looks like that I am, one of the turn, and now holds the iPhone when you try to log on I get this message: "This iPhone has been activated the maximum number of free accounts."
Since I could not login I decided to create a free Apple ID. The whole process ran successfully until finally came the message: "You can not create a free iCloud account on your device."
You won't be able to create any more free accounts on your phone - you will either need to use one of the accounts that's already been created on it, or use a different device to create another account.

I bought iPhone 4s device from the owner and the previous owner is not present and the device has already been erased, how can I use this device using my Apple ID and iCloud
Hello adilx
The only way to get passed that and to use that iPhone is to ask the previous owner to remove it from icloud.com in the Find my iPhone section.
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
If the previous owner is not present
Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.

Icloud: The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.
HI, I just bought a used (second hand) iphone 3gs recently. I have activated my apple id it's working for app-store well, but when i try to use it for icloud it gives me the error that
"The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone"
What I must do to sign in to icloud please help me.
I suppose the previous owner has already activate an icloud account from this iphone and the IMEI number of the phone is registered to icloud. Is there a way to erase it, or just make a second account from this iphone?You need to sign in to your iCloud on another device before you can use iCloud on your iPhone 3GS.

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile 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 device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one. -
Hi , I have recently bought an second hand iPhone 4 , Now most of the thing on the iPhone you need iCloud ,i try logging on to it but when i do it say The maximum number of free account have been activated on this iPhone, i don't know what to do. Help
When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway. -
HT204053 The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone
I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup.
The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.
I have downloaded the Where is my iPhone App to help us locate it in the event I lose it.
My Wife has an iPad3 and has the where is my iPad app.
We have a friend that someone stole her iPad 2 and this is why are chose to use iCloud.
Please let me know the fix.Each device can only set up a limited number of iCloud accounts. Once this maximum number is reached all you can do is re-use one of the accounts previously set up or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac. If you wife has an iPad 3, it may be possible to create another iCloud account on her iPad to use on your phone.
To do this, on her iPad go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account, choose iCloud from the list, then enter the Apple ID and password you want to use for your iCloud account and sign in. Do not turn on any data syncing or her data will be uploade to the new account. After setting up the new account, you go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap the name of the new account then tap Delete Account to delete it from her iPad (it will remain in iCloud). You can then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and enter the ID and password to sign into the new account on your phone. Then turn iCloud data syncing for Contacts, Calendars, etc., to On, and when prompted choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. -

Create the account on your computer or other Apple device. Once the account
has been created elsewhere, you will be able to use it on your iPhone. -

i got this massege on my iphone the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone can any one help?
This restriction has no relation to creating free accounts, it means you may not sign in to another free account, on that iDevice because the serial number of the device (on apple's server) has their limit of free accounts associated to it. the only way around this is to use one of the three free accounts on the device which the server has associated, OR have apple reset the account/remove the restriction for that serial number...This has been posted in dozens of discussions, but they continue to ingnore the problem, what's worse is the telephone support is RUDE about it if you inquire.

How can I get on iCloud when it say the maximum number of free accounts has been activated on this IPad?
A maximum of three new iCloud accounts can be created on a single iOS device. If you have already created three iCloud accounts (why?) then log in using one of those to start using it.
Otherwise, you'll have to find another device to create an iCloud account on. -

SN : DN******D2
Please Help me Support
< personal Information Edited By Host>It's a really bad idea to post your iPhone's serial number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts. As you have apparently already created three accounts (or if it's a used phone the previous owner did) you cannot create any more one it. This is tied to the hardware, not the account, and there is no way round it.
You can create a new iCloud account on another iOS device or on a Mac, and then you will be able to sign into that on your iPhone. -

I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup. The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks
Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone. If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts). To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account. Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device. Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?
Just to make sure, open Mac App Store and click Purchases. Can you pause the download and restart it?
