Unsupported Apple ID, this apple ID cannot be used to sign in to iCloud.Create a new Apple ID or sign in with a different one.

There is no issue to use my apple ID to login istore, but unable to use same apple ID to login icloud? Please Help....

Razmee209,
That response is so unhelpful as to be annoying.
Why is an apple ID that works for all other apple products not appropriate for iCloud? I have the same issue as the OP. Poiningt people to how to change the ID is not helpful, when the concern is why does the original id not work.
What is needed in order to select an ID that might work? Also, do we then have to use two different logins? One for iCloud and one for iTunes? That seems unlikely, as apple recommends using the same login for both.
Does anyone have any "helpful" thoughts as to what this issue is and how to fix it?

    For whatever reasons, the "None" option is not always available to all users and I think it may be related to what country you live in. Short of contacting Apple to get it straightened out, if you haven't done anything with your new ID ye - you can create an Apple ID without a credit card and simply abandon the one that you just created.
    This explains how you can creaet an ID without a credit card.

    The two big things that you have to remember for this to work are ... you have to sign out of your existing Apple ID .... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Then you have to try to download a free app to bring up the window that asks you to sign in or create an ID. Read the information on the website that I referenced above.
    If you have not used the original Apple ID for anything yet, you can simply ignore it and use the new one - or like I said earlier - contact iTunes support and ask them to help you sort it out.
    Here is a link to iTunes support. You can change the country in the bottom right corner of the screen.

  • Unsupported Apple ID - This Apple ID cannot be used to sing in to iCloud

    Okay, so I foolishly updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 the moment it was released into the wild on April 9, 2015. This is the rude welcome I get when I try to sign into iCloud in System Preferences > iCloud:
    Unsupported Apple ID
    This Apple ID cannot be used to sing in to iCloud.

    I have done absolutely no changes to my user settings.
    Please help!

    Sounds like you need to create a new Apple ID.

    Just login the https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/  and change your Apple Id's Password, and if you receive any such Emails in future do not provide your Personal Details and report the same to Apple Immediately.

    I have this error when I tried to connect to iCloud.

    Anyone can help me with this ?
    Thanks

    Hey everyone. I'm in the same boat. My Apple ID (used for apps in the App Store, purchases in iTunes, etc), is an '@gmail.com' email. My Apple ID gmail account has also been verified, and I can log onto iCloud.com with it, but I can not register iCloud on my iOS 5 device (my iPhone 4) with the same Apple ID. This is very frustrating. I do not want to have an iCloud ID and an Apple ID. Very annoying.

    I cannot view youtube on my apple tv.  It worked a couple of weeks ago but now does not.  I tried to log into youtube on apple tv and get the message that "this youtube account cannot be used with apple TV.  Anyone know the problem?

    Establish a Google+ channel. Then be sure your ATV has the latest update. This worked for me last week.

    uninstall and reinstall
    there is a complicated way to work with just the mobile device support but its simpler just to uninstall itunes and related components and then reinstall itunes
    ur music will be fine, u will just lose the playlists. but ur mobile device support will be working again.

  • This apple ID cannot be used for MobileMe Sign in with a different Apple ID

    When I try and use my Apple ID to setup the free find my account on MobileMe I get this error after I hit the OK on the pop that reads Terms of service have changed.
    "This apple id cannot be used for MobileMe. Sign in with a differant Apple ID"

    Any Suggestions
    Thanks
    Dennis

    I'm having the same issue with my iPad. I also used to have MobileMe, but cancelled. I seem to have two Apple ID's with the same email address. One Apple ID is not an email, the other Apple ID is my email address. They have different passwords and I can manage both. My iTunes Store one is the one without the email address. I had to use the email address Apple ID for Game Room.
    I am in Live Chat Support with Apple right now.

    If you're the device's original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
    If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • I cannot update my apps because it's telling me to sign in with a different apple id

    Help! The new iTunes agreement told me to sign in with a different Apple ID. What!? I don't have a different Apple ID. And my MacBook no longer has Apple Care. What can I do? I can't call Apple Care as I used to do, so whom do I call? This is really frustrating. It makes me want to buy a new
    Android that wouldn't have this problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If you purchased those apps under a different ID, the only way to get rid of the popup is to delete them. You'll have to re-purchase/download them under your current ID.

    Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
    Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
    Was it online prior to this incident happening?
