Why I cant use the apple ID to log in Icloud?

I have a valid apple ID, but when I try to log in icloud ,they told me it is only apple ID. How do I log into icloud?

You will need an active email address associated with your Apple ID to set up iCloud.
Thanks for that info. But isn't an Apple ID associated with an Email address? Wouldn't that be the same? Or do you need a Apple Email address.
As usual I am confused.

  • HT5624 How can I track the MACbook Pro that just used my apple ID to log into iCloud?  (I just got an email stating that someone just used it?)

    Here is the email:
    Your Apple ID ([email protected]) was used to sign in to iCloud on a MacBook Pro 13".  I had a MacBook Pro stolen in January and I'm wondering if someone was using that stolen computer to login??
    Anyway to track the computer trying to log in using my other Apple ID?

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in System preferences>icloud), then you can try to track it.  Using another computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the mac is listed as "offline", then you can't track it.

  • TS1702 why i cant use the PAges, Numbers, Keynote, Garageband that i bought on my ipad2 on my new MackBook Pro?

    Happy New Year 2013 to you all lucky Mac users ;-)
    I have a iPad2 since last year and bought these apps "Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Gargaeband" on it. Now i have a new MackBook Pro 17" quadcore i7 OS 10.7.5 and trying to sync my apps and use them on my Macbook Pro but for some reason i can not...
    Would you please help me out how to do it and where to start?
    I know that once you bought an app you can sync and use them on all your devices, but how? The price on above apps for iphone and ipad are much cheaper than for macs. Is this the reason i cant use them on my macbook pro?
    Thanks for your help.
    OMG That's It

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can't use apps purchased on the iPad on the Mac. They use different App Stores and iPad apps aren't compatible with Macs, so you have to purchase them in the Mac App Store

  • Why I cant use the MSN messenger in my mac?

    I just downloaded the newest version about MSN messenger 5.0. But I cant sign in my msn messenger. I try many times,but it always popup one window says:"Sign in to Microsoft Messenger failed because the service is not available or you ma not be connected to he internet."My internet connection is no problem i think, because I use one windows system, the MSN messenger works. How to solve this problem, I need you help. cheers.

    I take it you mean the latest Microsoft Messenger, which is version 5 and a step up from the previous MSN Messenger 4.
    Are you signing in with a Hotmail.com address, or do you have an alternate company address (ie: Mac.com, etc)? If so, you need to register this address with the Microsoft Net Passport system to allow your "third party" email address to access the MSN system. Hotmail addresses are allowed access by default.

  • I wonder why i cant use the service of iMessage for mac

    I downloaded ios mountain lion, but i cannot send any messages by using iMessage for Mac, i don't know why.

    iMessage or Messages? iMessage was the beta-test version. Messages is the production version for Mountain Lion.
    "cannot send any messages" is a bit vague. What did you try, and what happened?

  • Why can't I use my Apple ID to log into icloud?

    It keeps telling me that It's not a valid icloud account even though I downloaded the icloud software. I looked for a specific link to sign up to icloud with, but it keeps me moving in in a circle, back to the home page. Am I missing something?

    Where do I find that..I've never set one up? Now in trying to login at the site its says I must set up icloud on a iOS or OS X device before I can use icloud...those devices I don't have...can I download anyone to my Windows 7 system?

  • I can't connect to my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro using the Apple Remote app on my iPhone 4S. Why?

    Hi all,
    I've been looking through the forums for help with this problem. There are a couple of threads with similar problems, but no solved threads and the discussion doesn't seem to go anywhere... As far as I can tell, it's been causing a lot of annoyance for many users, including myself, but it looks like the community's in the dark about why it's happening!
    I'm trying to connect to my iTunes library using the Apple Remote app on my new iPhone 4S. As you may know, there are two ways to do this:
    Connect via Home Sharing by setting up Home Sharing on both iTunes and the iPhone, or
    Connecting directly to iTunes using a four digit passcode.
    I've tried both methods, and neither work!
    Here's what happens for each method:
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap the "Turn on Home Sharing" button. I enter my Apple ID details (which are definitely correct), and get a confirmation message on my phone saying "Home Sharing is on using [my email address]. To control iTunes: Choose Turn On Home Sharing from the Advanced menu in iTunes on your computer." I then go to iTunes, turn on Home Sharing, enter my Apple ID again and get a confirmation message saying "Home Sharing is now on", etc. However, there's no connection formed between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro - the Remote app just shows a message saying "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [my email address].
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap "Add an iTunes Library", and the four digit passcode is shown on my phone. I select the new "Quintin's iPhone" item that appears in the iTunes sidebar under "Devices", and enter the passcode on the screen that appears. Once I've entered it, I get a confirmation message saying "Your Remote is now able to control iTunes" with an "Okay" button. Clicking the "Okay" button makes the screen and the sidebar item disappear completely. On my phone, a message that says "Looking for ..." is shown on the screen with a spinning loading wheel, but nothing happens. After a minute or two, it stops and simply says "Could not find".
    After trying both methods, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1741 . Absolutely no effect.
    I should mention that I was experiencing similar problems on my old iPhone 3Gs with an older version of iTunes. I thought it might have been some kind of hardware fault and expected it to clear up once I got the new phone, but the problem is still there. It's a new phone, a new computer, a newer version an iTunes... even a different network I'm trying to connect to it on. Bizarre!
    I've even tried using the Mobile Air Mouse remote application instead. However again, the Mobile Air Mouse app on my phone can't pick up the Mobile Air Mouse server on my Mac.
    I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Anyone?

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did. 

  • I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?

How can I get the iMac and apple tv to sync the itunes ? i have a internet connection between them , I have signed in to the itunes store on the apple tv and it shows that the apple tv is sharing my library from the IMac , but it wont sync and the apple tv has no content !

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV (with the exception of the Apple TV 1) does not sync, it streams everything from your library on your computer or from the internet.
