Why can't I create a free icloud account

Why won't it let me create an icloud account?

You can create an account on another device or computer, and then use it
on your iPhone.
You cannot unlink the iPhone from its previous account. The owner of the iCloud
account to which the iPhone is linked must remove the account before you can
use your iCloud account on that iPhone.

  • Why can't I create a free iCloud e-mail-adress?

    I have / want to create an iClod-E-Mail-Adress.
    When I try some names, I can see if the name isn't free.
    Now I choose a name like [email protected] (name changed)
    I dont get an info that the name isn't free.
    But when I click on "weiter" (next), nothing happens (OS X)
    With iOS I get a massage: "es ist ein Problem aufgetreten, Versuchen Sie es später noch einmal" (theres a problem, try again later)
    I tried it since weeks, nothing changes.
    (a testmail to that adress couldn't be delivered)
    (sory fpr my bad english)

    Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts; if your phone has already created three then it can never create any more - this is tied to the hardware, not the user account. You can create an iCloud account on another iOS device or a Mac and then you will be able to sign into that on your phone.

  • I got this iPad as an open box deal on bestbuy, it says the device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account. How do I fix this?

      I got this iPad as an open box deal on bestbuy, it says the device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account. How do I fix this?

    You cannot fix it. Nobody can. There is a limit to how many free iCloud accounts that can be created on one iOS device and the limit is three. Obviously, this device reached that limit which means that this open box iPad was most likely owned by someone else or customers that used theiPad in the store got cute and created iCloud accounts on it and then deleted them.
    So that's why deggie is recommending that you return the iPad to Best Buy and get your money back. You bought a device that should have never been sold to you.

    I had the same issue on my iPod touch 4th Gen, I noticed the issue after updating the device to 6.1.5. I dont know what device or IOS your running but if it is similar then I think this ma be the cause. My solution to you is to create a free apple ID on their website, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId. Hope this helped and good luck!

    "this device is no longer eligible for creating a free icloud account" what that mean and how to resolve this problem

    Guess we're stucked and live with it. I hate this policy of limiting accounts to use on a device but the good thing is I just logged in using my account and asked my daughter what are the apps and music she wanted to download on the device. After we load everything she needs, I just deleted my account in the device and disassociated it from my iCloud account. It's still works as intended but the only caveat is she cannot use the find my ipad application.

  • This device is no longer eligible for creating a free icloud account

    After using it for a while an iPad 2 that was given to me by my Boss, I restored this iPad and gave it to my daughter. She encountered the error above during her set-up while creating her own iCloud account to the iPad. What shall we do?

  • Why if I have created a seperate icloud account for my daughter and I, do I still end up with all her contacts?  Also, numbers i have edited or changed?deleted pop up when searching by name to create a new message, WHY?

    Help!  I have created seperate icloud accounts for my kids devices and mine.  My daughters contacts and mine keep merging anyways.  If I turn contacts off and then back on on my phone in icloud, I get duplicates.  Now I have triplicates!!  I've double chcked that we are both logged in to our own accounts.  How do I stop this, its gonna be a lot of editing out duplicate/triplicate contacts in my list.  NOT HAPPY!!  Another problem....When I go to create a new message and search by name, all numbers, including those I have changed because the person got a new number, will show up.  Why is that happenning if I have deleted or changed them?  I end up not knowing what number to use.  It's extremely frustrating!!

    When you turn contacts to off in Settings>iCloud, you should be choosing Delete from My iPhone when prompted, as they will be synced back to your phone when your turn contacts back to on.  If you are choosing Keep on My iPhone, turning contacts back to on in Settings>iCloud, then choosing Merge when prompted, you are merging a second (or third) copy of your contacts with your account each time you do.
    The autocomplete suggestions you get when you create a new message, compose a text message, or perform a spotlight search, are stored in cache memory.  Once in cache memory, it remains on the device even if the corresponding contact is later deleted.  Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to flush this cashe is to restore your device as a new iPhone without using your backup.  Perhaps this will change in a future iOS release.

  • Why can't i sign in on icloud acct/ it keeps on telling me that the maximum free accounts have been activated on my iPhon

    whenever i try to log in to my icloud on my iphone is always says that the maximum free acct had been reached to this phone, i already have my apple id and it was validated eer since had my phone. even using it to download some apps but everytime i try to log in to icloud i keep on getting that error, already updated the phone as well but nothing seems to change with that error. pls help thanks!

    Signing in with a new ID creates a new iCloud account.  However, each device is limited in the number of iCloud accounts that it is allowed to create.  Once you reach that limit, you cannot create another account.  All you can do is re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • How can I get a free icloud account. so my device are not allow me to create a free icloud accoun so far , THEY DONT LET ME TO DO SO. HELP ME PLEASE THANK U

    So far I'm not using ipad cos I really confused about it, my ipad is not eligible to create free icloud account I been reached the maximum limit of account could somebody help this matter pls

    You need to use an Apple device to make an iCloud account - iOS device or Apple computer.  Once you make it though, you could delete it from that device and login to that new account on your other device.  The account is tied to the AppleID used when you create it, not to any particular device.
    The limit on new accounts on devices is to keep people from endlessly making iCloud accounts (since that is often done by people looking for many free accounts to use for sending SPAM mail and all sorts of other undesirable uses of Apple's free service)

    Hi, i am not able to get a Free icloud ID. Error is my device is not eligible for creating new free icloud ID. What do i do to create new one

    Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.

  • Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad? It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad. It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).
