TS4006 Icloud
My iphone is an second-hand one. I have id apple but cant get an icloud account because of the number can sign in on an iphone problem. So how can i get an icloud account?
When you say:
"because of the number can sign in on an iphone problem."
Do you mean you get a message that the maximum number of free accounts have been used?
If so on the device go top Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings. Then setup the device again,
UPDATE: it is possible to remove an iCloud affiliation from a device when the maximum number of free accounts has been used. I used the "reset and erase" option from Settings | General | Reset | Erase All Content and Settings. When this was finished, the iPod was like new - not just "restored" as we can do within iTunes and I had done with this device - it was legitimately restored. I signed in with my son's newly created Apple ID and it was accepted and now the device works like a charm. It also still uses my Apple ID and password for the iTunes and App stores, however I have restrictions in place to prohibit him from downloading or buying any content. I hope this helps anyone else that has reported this question.

TS4006 icloud is not showing up in my system preferences.
I cant see iCloud in my computer and i have the latest updates. What do i do??
Your Mac is 3 versions of OS X out of date, current release is 10.9.1, minimum required for Lion is 10.7.4, you have 10.6.8.
Download 10.9.1 (Mavericks) from the App Store -
TS4006 icloud isn't in my system preferences, how can i get it?
icloud isn't in my system preferences. only mobile me, which when i click on brings me to the icloud webpage that tells me how to set up icloud. step 2 is to locate it in system preferences, which it is not there, only mobile me. and thus begins the cycle again.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - MobileMe closed In July 2012 and you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing account which you have set up on a compliant device (you cannot open an iCloud account on Pre-Lion Macs), and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work.
This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To make proper use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Leopard or Snow Leopard, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). -

TS4006 ICloud Back up message frozen on screen
My Ipad has a blue window open on the screen that reads,"
iCloud Backup
This iPad hasn't been backed up in
2 weeks. Backups happen when
this iPad is Plugged in, locked and
connected to WI-FI.
With Okay under this message. We plugged it and connected to WI-FI. I'm assuming its looked, because when I try to press Okay nothing happens. This message is just frozen on the screen.
How to I fix this problem.Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it. -
My iPad froze when a message popped up saying "verify iCloud password." for some reason when I touch the ok button it won't work and my iPad is still frozen. I can't even turn off the iPad because the message is still stuck their. I've tried everything andit hasn't work can someone please help me? If you had this problem before and know how to fix it please tell me because currently I cannot even use my iPad.
And yes I realize now that I should've backed it up to my computer in itunes, however I didn't know that the iCloud had so many issues.

ICloud notified me my iPhone was offline. I cannot see a map, or send a tone. Should I be able to do these even though the device is offline?
Thanks for any help?If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

TS4006 icloud backup notice is frozen on my screen.
The screen states:
iCloud Backup
This iPad has not been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. There is an OK button, but it will not work. It is just frozen and I can't use any part of the ipad. Ideas to clear the notice and proceed with a backup and/or use the ipad?
Thanks!Had this same problem. Apple service contract (conveniently) ran out just a couple of days before. I've only had the device just over 3 months. Tech support tried desperately to sell me a $199 service contract. When I told the tech I would find an answer on line, he told me my time should be worth more than my money. Was very rude and insistent. I finally hung up on him and found my answer and fixed the problem in a couple of minutes (less time than when I was on hold!) Thanks, randers 4. No thanks, Apple -- you should be ashamed!!

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get in touch with iCloud support directly? All iCloud support roads lead to CPU tech support. My stolen MBP finally came online and gave a location but I didn't check my email for a couple days, was sick, and iCloud only displays location map for 24 hours. Desperatly trying to regain the location info. I live in a small town so location info might actually lead to the recovery of my baby.Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
Thank you in advance for your help.OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

i need help. i am currently in mexico city. i was staying at my cousins house and yesterday when we got back for going to museums we saw that the apt had been broken into and everything taken including my ipad. i have it set up with icloud so i tried to find it but it told me that the service was unavailable at the moment. since i have a lot of personal information on my ipad i chose to remote wipe it. i havent receivec a confirmation email so i believe it hasnt been done yet. but now when i go on icloud.com it says i dont have any devices set up. is there anyway to cancel the remote wipe and find the ipad? i have it password protected so im afraid that whoever stole it might have tried to figure out the password and ereased everything. i would really apretiate any information that might help me recover my ipad.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, instructions to remotely wipe cannot be cancelled.
