You have an Apple ID which you use to sign in here; you can use that to create an iCloud account.


Go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID. Check 'Mail', 'Contacts', 'Calendars' etc as required to sync your data. When you check Mail you will be asked to create a new @icloud.com address and your Mail application will be set up with the account.

Thank you Roger! All set up. :-)


Another question: I have approx. 253 "purchased" songs in my iTunes account.


I want to remove approx. 25 songs that are in the "Purchased" file ON my iPhone 6. I don't want to delete the songs forever, I just want to remove them from the "Purchased" file on the phone and leave them in the itunes folder on the computer.


Thanks again for any assistance with this.
