Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have an Apple ID that is not yet an iCloud account. You can establish your Apple ID as an iCloud account on an iOS device with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion or later:
How do I sign up for iCloud?
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.
