It sounds like you haven't yet setup iCloud with that account and you need to do that on a Mac or iOS device.  Once setup, you can enable iCloud on a PC, but it needs to be setup first.
See Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
Which says in part:
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

  • I'm having trouble signing into the iCloud Control Panel.  None of the iCloud suggested fixes work.  I'm using Windows 7 on a PC.  Is there a simple fix out there?

    I'm probably doing this all wrong.  Just in case here it is again.

    The book that I'm using said it wasn't necessary for this because it's supposed to just make sure everything is working properly--which it's not.OK, if you want to ignore my advice, so be it, but please don't complain that it is not going to work without even trying it yourself.

    Now this is the part I don't get. The book tells me to go to http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 even though there are no files/folders that have the name Serv1.
    Do you understand what the <servlet-mapping> declaration in the web.xml means? It is roughly just saying the appserver that it should port all requests on /Serv1 to the mentioned servlet.
    a couple others like/ch1/WEB-INF/classes/Ch1Servlet.class and /ch1/WEB-INF/web.xml. The WEB-INF folder is not public accessible, so forget about that part.
    "Resource not found" simply means that either the URL is wrong (case counts!) or that the resource is actually not there. I.e. not compiled, not deployed, not loaded, etcetera. Reading the appserver's startup logs might also help.

  • TS4403 what does "you can not sign in because of server error" mean? I cannot sign in to icloud control panel. how do I fix this?

    Why do I keep getting a "you can not sign in because of server error" when I try to turn on my icloud control panel from my Windows 7 PC?
    I'm able to log in from my browser, why not from control panel?

    Hello, Sameh.tolba. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the two articles below when experiencing this issue.

  • I cannot sign in to iCloud control panel. The spinner keeps spinning

    I have tried everything I can find to resolve this. I open the control panel and I am asked to log in. I enter my Apple ID and Password but nothing happens except the spinner appears and keeps on spinning.
    I have deleted the MobileMe from my PC and cannot re-load it but others in the forum have found this not to be a reliable solution.
    I can log in to iCoud on iCloud.com but none of the applications etc. are synchronised.

    You'll get that message if your device has already been used to create 3 different iCloud accounts on the device itself. You have to create the new account on your computer, then set it up on your phone. There is no other way around this limitation.

  • TS3989 in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?

    in windows iCloud Control Panel 3.0, photos checkbox grey out! what should i do?

    Have had some success with multiple computers running Windows 7, Vista, and Windows Server 2008 doing the following with iCloud Control Panel 3.1 (combination of several different remedies posted in forum):
    Sign out of iCloud Control Panel
    Open Task Manager and End all Apple iCloud and Photostream processes
    Delete the files from the Directory C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Mediastream
    Open iCloud Control Panel and sign in with apple ID
    If Photo option is still greyed out, sign out and sign back in with iCloud email address and password.
    This has worked for seven users that I support across several different windows hardware platforms.  Good luck!

  • ICloud Control Panel will not open - Windows 7

    I have this exact problem, when I try to sign in to icloud control panel it just hangs. I read on one of the other forums that it is something to do with the user profile on the PC and using another user id sometimes works. Interesting thing is if I use the 'Guest' sign in facility on my PC it allows me to sign on to icloud control panel. Still trying to establish what is different in the 2 user profiles?

  • Photostream Greyed out in Icloud Control Panel v.3

    I was using without error Icloud Control panel v3. on my Windows 7 PC.
    Having upgraded to IOS 7 on the phone,  Itunes 11.1 on PC and Icloud Control Panel 3.0
    I now have Photos greyed out. This was working on the previous version.
    Having signed in / out this has not made any difference.

  • Solution to iCloud control panel 4 sign-in server error under windows 8.1x64

    Potential solution for icloud 3.1 and 4.0 installation and iTune store sign-in, all showing errors or sign-in errors due to server error.
    My setup is Iphone 4S upgraded to ios8, ipad Air still on 7.1.2, windows PC on Win8.1x64 and with icloud 3.1 working fine till I tried to
    upgrade/install/re-install 4.0 icloud control panel after upgrade to ios8. See end of message for other alternatives I had tried.
    This worked for me.
    There seem to be some programmes that is conflicting with Apple's, so download this free program autoruns suggested by Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Run the program and choose the the "Winsock Providers", any other programme that shows up here except Bonjour (which is used by Apple) may be conflicting with the sign-in.
    Uninstall those potentially conflicting programs
    Inside autoruns->Winsock Provider, right click on the conflicting programs and choose delete. This would stop the conflicting program to start up
    again. Reboot the computer
    Install icloud control panel, sign in
    If works, reinstall those conflicting programs again and all back to normal, with iCloud control panel working
    If doesn't work, my mojo not strong enough and you need to google for more help.
    Other activities I googled, tried and failed
    a) Adding Apple icloud program and services into the windows firewall
    b) Uninstall version 4.0, re-install 3.1 (about 10 times)
    c) create a new Apple ID to sign in
    d) Sign out of icloud from my devices (iphone and ipad)
    e) switch to Android devices

    You need to edit the MSI installer and change the Launch Condition to allow iCloud Control Panel 3.1 to be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2.
    First, download Orca, an MSI editor. You can get it from the Windows SDK. (Download and only check the box for "Development Tools" under Native components during installation, then go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin and install Orca.msi)
    Launch Orca and then find the iCloud(64).msi to edit.
    If using Apple Software Update, browse to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update and open iCloud(64).msi in Orca.
    Or download iCloudSetup.exe and use a zip program (7-zip) to extract the MSI from the exe and open it in Orca.
    In Orca, select the LaunchCondition table and look for the condition "(VersionNT >= 601) AND (MsiNTProductType = 1)". Change the number 1 to a number 3 so the condition should read "(VersionNT >= 601) AND (MsiNTProductType = 3)". Save and exit Orca.
    Then double click on the msi and it should install successfully now.

  • I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

    I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.
