If you see a 'Could Not Create Apple ID' or 'Could Not Set Up iCloud' message, read this article --> If you see a Could Not Create Apple ID or Could Not Set Up iCloud message - Apple Support


A "not at this time" message could have many causes. It could really mean you have to try later but it could also mean that you will have to wait until you deal with some unspecified issue. If you try again later and still have a problem, contact Apple.


Refer to this document for ways to contact Apple ➞ Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support

Select your country (also look for "other" regions), then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
