My MacBook Pro crashed and I am currently using an old laptop on windows xp. When I go to enter online in Icloud.com my emails it does not allow me to see my emails unless I install icloud on my laptop. The problem is that when I follw the directions and the relevant link it sais that icloud is compatible only with windows 7 or 8. Does that practically means that I will not check my emails until my mac is back in life?
You can go to icloud.com using your computer browser. You can't view it from an iOS device, if that's what you're trying to do.
Thank you for the answer 🙂
I am trying to access my emails using my browser but when I enter my ID and password a message appears saying that I need to set up icloud first in my current device before I can make use (enter) icloud.com
Then I pressed more info to find out how I can do that in a windows pc and I found out the following:
''To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first step set up your iCloud account on your other devices or Mac, then install iCloud for Windows''
Any suggestion?
Do you have an iCloud account and an iCloud email address? If so, you should be able to sign in on iCloud.com with your iCloud ID, then click Mail to see your iCloud email. Note: this will not include email from other providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc. The minimum requirements for icloud.com are the following browsers or newer:
If you don't have an iCloud account, you will have to create on using a Mac or iOS device, then create your iCloud email account first.
I am not sure if I have an iCloud account but I certainly have an iCloud email address. iCloud.com asks only for my apple id and my password to enter. I enter both but still I get a msg saying that I need to set up iCloud first in my current device etc...
I use the latest google chrome version.
iCloud.com needs you to sign in with an iCloud ID, not just a normal Apple ID. An Apple ID becomes an iCloud ID when you use it to create an iCloud account. You create an iCloud account by going to Settings>iCloud on an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch or going to System Preferences>iCloud on a Mac and signing in with your Apple ID. (You can't create and iCloud account on a PC.)
Do you have an Apple iOS device or a Mac? If so, go to Settings>iCloud or System Preferences>iCloud and see what ID you are signed in with.
How can I check my icloud emails using windows xp?
