I would appreciate if anyone could give me some help about icloud.

"Can't connect "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this phone"

Can someone help teach me how to deal with it?

Many thanks,

That's a shame I can't use it anymore because this device has been given to me and i don't know the accounts names or even passwords to delete the iclouds previously accounts.

Thanks anyway!

That means you can't create a new iCloud account on that device. Each device can only create a certain number of iCloud accounts. Once that maximum is reached, all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or later), if you have one. (You also can't delete one of the previous accounts to create a new one.)

You're welcome. Your only other option would be to ask a friend if your could create the account on their device.
