I have been invited to join a photo stream by a friend who only lives in the apple ecosystem. I have a Windows 7 machine and no apple devices. I do have an Apple ID and have installed the WIndows iCloud application. However, when I try to log into iCloud or join the photo stream, I get an error message saying that the Apple ID is valid but not for iCloud.
Windows 7
Hello tw_mama,
I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
This section in particluar:
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
All the best,
Sterling
