I enter the correct apple ID and password but icloud says that "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account". What's the problem?
I am talking about the desktop...

Same problem here...any ideas..?
In my instance however, iCloud works on my iPhone 4 and Mac Pro, just not MBP (Late 2008).
Same issue here in France....on my Mac Pro (mid 2010)
I gone in Apple's page dedicated to Apple account and enteredin my account without any issue with my AppleID and password.
😕
Just add an idea as I remember that for Facetime I couldn't access to it until I add a specific DNS server IP (system preference then network), can't it be the same for iCloud ?
im having the same issue and cant find any help on the icloud help site its completely useless and im also trying to use it on the macbook pro mid 2010
Also recieving the "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account" message OSX. DNS didnt seem to help. Im on a macbook pro mid 2009.
Looks like I'm not alone.......... can we get a response from someone at Apple maybe!!! Same problem and not much informationn can be found on the Apple site to resolve the issue. My best guess at this time is that they are having some type of server or authentication issue on a server for iCloud! 😟
Folks, you have 2 IDs in AppleWorld. One is your iTunes ID that you use to purchase music and such with, and the other is your Apple ID that you use to configure your me.com/MobileMe/iCloud accounts with. Likely the system is requesting the latter.
I fumbled around with this all day today.
it wont let me make a new apple id either. it says my device is no longer eligble for creating an apple id.
But i am using the same ID that I used to log into the icloud website. And the ID that I used to set up my ipad with icloud. This is the same ID that I use for itunes but if thats not my icloud ID also then what is?
Bobby & Mike:
If you had a MobileMe account, you would have had the second Apple ID I think. Mike, the iTunes ID likely will not be the same ID as you iCloud ID. Bobby21, I suggest you enter that error message, 'my device is no longer eligible...' into Google and see what comes up. I somehow escaped that mess today. Good luck guys.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895 This says they can be the same. The icloud website is sucessfully syncing with my ipad. The OSX setup doesnt accept my ID.. It wont let me make a new one either.
Log into me.com and it will walk you through moving your account over to iCloud. Once that's done you will be able to log into iCloud using the same i.d. and password you used for MobileMe.
Similar problem here. Ive only ever had 1 Apple ID, i dont use mobileme or anything. So no chance of me reaching my limit and im getting this message
Account Limit Reached
This device is no longer eligible for creating an Apple ID..
Im not trying to create just sign in..
Yeah, I just read the link you sent.
All I can tell you is that when I was setting things up today, my iTunes login and password did not work but my MobileMe one did. Hence my answer at 6:05PM this evening. Sorry I cannot be of more help. I stumble through this stuff myself as a PC/Windows person using Apple devices.
Still cant log into icloud on OSX. Has anyone found a solution?
