RE: activate icloud?

Do I have to activate icloud on my iphone? Won't this use my data?  I do not have any other Apple products.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iCloud is a sync service, if you don't have any other Apple products, there may be little reason to activate iCloud.
However, you can still use iCloud.com to access your calendars, mail, contacts etc on any mac/PC or locate your phone or lock it if lost or stolen, you can also use Photostream to sync photos to your own PC.
Whether these services are of any use to you, only you can answer.

  • If I activate iCloud on MBAir do I lose contacts/phone numbers on my iMac running Snow Leopard?

    I have a new iPhone and wanted to activate iCloud from my MB Air, but am afraid I'll lose all my contacts/phone numbers on my iMac which is running Snow Leopard.  I don't want to put  Lion on the iMac, but I'd like to use iCloud between my new iPhone, my iPad, and my MacBook Air.  Can I do that?  Is so, how?
    Thanks

    Your iMac contacts/phone numbers won't be effected since it's running Snow Leopard.

  • When trying to activate iCloud on iPhone and iPad I get "account not verified... check your email." Can't verify account on wither device

    when trying to activate iCloud on iPhone and iPad I get "account not verified... check your email." Can't verify account on either device.
    Can't verify device on website either.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • When I try to activate iCloud it tells me to check my email to verify the account. Unfortunately there is never any message in my inbox (I also checked my Spam) any ideas?

    When I try to activate iCloud on my new iPad it keeps telling me to check my email in order to verify my account. I never get an email though!
    What do I do from there?

    I eventually found the email in Trash! Is this because my email account is gmail?

  • HT204053 Activating iCloud on OS X 10.6.8 - iCloud does not show in System Preferences, and upgrading to more recent OS will slow computer. Can I activate iCloud on this device? It's the 2008 MacBook aluminum model.

    I was told that upgrading the OS would slow down my machine significantly. I don't plan on using iCloud for anything other than setting up Find My iPhone. Any suggestions on how to activate iCloud with my current OS?

    You would need to upgrade OS X to 10.7.5 (Lion) or later to sync your Mac with iCloud.  If you have 2GB of memory and 8GB of available hard drive space, you could upgrade to OS X Mavericks for free from the Mac App Store.  After upgrading, you can sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud.
    However, you don't need to do anything if you only need to use Find My iPhone.  To use Find My iPhone to track your iOS devices from a computer you go to icloud.com from your browser, sign into the iCloud account the device you want to track is using and click Find My iPhone.

  • Hi, I accidentally delete my notes on iPad mini.  is there any way to recover?  unfortunate, I didnot activate iCloud

    Hi, I accidentally delete my notes on iPad mini.  is there any way to recover?  unfortunate, I didnot activate iCloud.  there are several third party app claiming that they can be used to recover my notes.  are those true?

    Unless you synced them with an email account or backed them up somewhere, it's doubtful. You may end up paying money for an app that cannot guarantee anything. Sorry.

    You may have set up iCloud on your iOS device or Mac when you first used it. To make sure it’s set up correctly, or to set up your iCloud account on another iOS device, computer, or Apple TV, go to the set up iCloud website listed below.
    Important:   Be sure to use the same Apple ID when you set up iCloud on each device.
    Set up iCloud on your iOS devices and computers
    Go to the set up iCloud website.
    You can turn iCloud features on or off after setting up iCloud.
    After you set up your devices, iCloud begins to push information to each device. You can also now sign in to iCloud.com and start using the iCloud web apps.
