I try to install iCould on my Computer and downloaded the program as shown on the webas soon I try to enter the icould it asks for a user name and password, not a big deal if I would know how to get one.
I tells me that the Apple ID is valid but it isn't an iCoud-Account...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's most likely the same account, you can use either address.

I cant sign in to iCloud with my Apple ID, it says "this Apple ID is valid, but is not an iCloud account, what do I need to do to sign in to iCloud?
Hello, kitkatshaw.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you are attempting to create an iCloud account with your Apple ID through iCloud.com. In order to create an iCloud account, you must sign up via one of the options below.
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later.

icloud needs an Apple ID to sign in..BUT.it says: "This Apple ID is valid but is not an icloud account" What can i do? i do have apple id???
I have the same problem and unfortunately the only way to get an iCloud ID is to set one up on an Apple device that uses the Apple OS opperating system. If you don't own one, or can't qfford one, then you are simply shut out of using the iCloud. Does it suck? Yes. Is there any solution other than buying an Apple device? No.

I got iphone 5s but i cant use it because he need the old icloud account what should i do?
i got iphone 5s already reset i open it then he need the old icloud account what should i do?
can anyone help me to my problem?If the previous owner's Apple ID and password are on the phone and Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone is turned on, you must get the previous owner's Apple ID and password, get the previous owner to remove the iPhone from his iCloud > Find My Phone devices list, or get your money back. You never be able to use that iPhone as that is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

You can't create a new iCloud acount using a PC. You must create it on an Apple device, a Mac or an iPad/iPhone. Then you can use it on your PC.

I am not receiving email on my iCloud mail account what should I do?
II am not receiving email on my iCloud mail account what should I do?
iTunes gift cards are only valid on accounts based in the country in which the card was issued - so if you have a US account then you can only use US gift cards. Do you know anybody in the country where you bought it from that you could sell or give it to ? Or you could try selling it on a site such as eBay.

To to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud ID. A new password will be sent to the associated email address.
It this doesn't work, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. -

What to do when trying to log into my iCloud and it says "this apple iD is valid, but it's not an iCloud account"?
If you have not already created an iCloud account elsewhere you cannot do so on PC, and that is the error message you will get. You can create an iCloud account on a Mac or an iOS device and then you should be able to sign into it in the iCloud Control Panel in Windows.

To repeat my question, Apple offered to install iCloud, and I allowed it. Yet when I try to sign in to iCloud using my Apple ID email and pswrd--an ID that I've been using for YEARS--I'm given the message, "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." What is going on?
Everywhere I search on Apple's Support site says to sign in to iCloud using your "Apple ID," which I did. I've had my iTunes account for years (even migrated from the old AOL account system). It's the standard email+password that everyone is supposed to use.
My main question is how can I have a valid Apple ID and not an iCloud account--if the two are supposed to be linked?
Thank you for any help you can give me!
tljI've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0

What do I do when I get the message: This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account?
You must open an iCloud account on an Apple device, a Mac (10.7.5 or higher) or an iPhone/iPad (IOS5 or higher)
Once you have opened an iCloud account you can sign into and use it on your PC.
