Access to iCloud goes out daily for the evening - but I still have all other internet functioning

For the last 4 days, @ about 5 pm Norwegian time, I have no access to my Mail, Cal, or iCloud even in Safari.  Gmail functions. Skype functions, all other internet use functions.  The same happens on my other devices and also to other iCloud users in the house. (we are not on family sharing)  This happens only on our home wifi network.  We are on a satellite wifi.  Any ideas?
It is very frustrating -
The service seems to resume around 4 am in the morning.
Thanks!

I still want to keep my Droid, it makes a handy WiFi-ready "micro-tablet" (as I call it), plus I can still play all my NES/SNES/Genesis games on it, I love the QWERTY keyboard for that kind of stuff.
However, I dropped the phone on a hardwood floor from about 3 feet up, and **BOOM**, screen completely goes out.  The "soft keys" light up, keyboard still lights up.  I can see the two small LED light sources coming from the very bottom of the screen.  When I drag my finger across the screen, I still get the haptic feedback of my phone being "Unlocked".
I've done battery pull, let it discharge fully, charge it back up, no good.
So even though this isn't technically my "active phone" anymore, would VZW still be able to do anything to try & get it fixed?  It's obsolete & outdated now (sorry, Droid 1 owners), but this is actually a replacement phone that I've had for less than a year, so wouldn't it still be covered under warranty? 
If the phone is not currently activated on your line, there is no warranty. Warranty does not cover damage anyhow, you would need insurance for this. You can take it to one of those cell phone repair companies and have them fix it for you, but those are quite pricey.
Also, I'm pretty sure you can't use WiFi on a phone that is not activated.

    You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).
    In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system/tool to link the two togther and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

  • If I bought a game on my iPod that is also sold for the macbook do I still have to pay for it on the Mac?

    Yes. Because iOS and Mac OS X are two entirely different operating systems.

    Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily  be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo  Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well.  Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
    Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically".  Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better.

  • EE says time has run out for my data but I still have 500mb PAYG top-up ?

    Hi. I received 10 gb data when I bought my phone 3 months ago.  EE says the time for this data has run out which is correct- however I still have 500mb of the monthly PAYG topup remaining (this is shown on the data, call, text remaining allowance screen. However away fromWifi I cannot access the internet..  It says I have no data - 'Time Run Out'. Any help appreciated  

    Hi Leanne, I tried contacting Customer Services via phone but just ended up going round in circles with the various options and not being able to speak to a person and basically getting nowhere.  So I went into the local EE shop and a very helpful and patient young lady listened to my story and phoned Customer Services who put her onto the Tech area - then back and forth between the two for over an hour till eventually they reset my account and credited me with a new PAYG monthly pack.  Now I can use the data allowance to access the internet as normal.  The only thing that I believe needs to be checked is that on my next purchase of PAYG I was due to get a 250mb Boost so I need to check I receive this as the text msgs I received from EE stated I was on my first PAYG purchase. Thanks Brendan

    I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  Can someone help?  I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

    Is the "open at login" checked?

  • I downloaded an album from itunes.  Keeps playing the first song.  Still plays all other previous tracks.  How do I get it to jump to the other songs on the album.

    How do I get my Shuffle to stop playing the first song over and over again, from an album I just purchased?
    Will not play any other songs from the album.

    Jim, wanted to let you know it worked.  I deleted the entire album since it was an album only (26 minutes long) song, then I went to the home icon of iTunes store, clicked on purchased and saw previous purchases and bam, I downloaded the album again and it now works!!!  Thanks..

  • Hey, so I logged onto my computer after a mandatory restart and my music and playlists were deleted from itunes, but I still have all of the music files that go into itunes if I open them individually. Any way I can get them back into itunes altogether??

    really just want my songs back in itunes, trying to find a way to do it all at once instead of clicking on individual song files since i have so many.

    copy them and then paste them into music/itunes/itunes media/music/ automatically add to itunes. that should automatically add them back in.

  • Change Apple ID. I changed my Apple ID email to a new one but iCloud continues to prompt me for a password with my old email address. How do I change that? It won't let me even delete or access iCloud without a password for the old Apple ID.

    When I got the iPhone about 4 weeks ago, I used an email for the apple ID and set it all up. Then I changed my Apple ID but now iCloud constantly prompts me with my old apple ID. How do I change this? I cannot make any changes to all the things I downloaded with the old Apple ID. I just updated my software to iOS7. I'm not sure if that changes anything (I am very new to the iPhone)

    I had this problem for a while but i finally found a way that worked for me.
    My old icloud account asked me for the password that i didnt have. And my old email was not registered as a valid appleid.
    So i created a new apple id with my old email and a new password. Signed in no problems and then i could finally delete the old icloud account and sign in with my real one.
    Hope this works for you

  • Random crash leaves me without a phone for the evening and more...

    I've had no major problems (just minor annoyances) with the iPhone, since buying it the day it was released, until last night. I went out to the bar and was showing off the phone to some friends (surfing the web and YouTube videos) when, with just my luck, the phone resets (not the typical crash to the home screen I’ve seen). After the phone reset and began to power back on the screen said "Please Connect to iTunes." I thought this was strange as I had a fully charged battery before going out and figured that I could probably just reset the phone again to get past this. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case. At this point there was nothing I could do to get my phone working again as I'd lost ALL functionality of my device (except stylish paper weight). I thought this is just plain ridiculous as now I’m going to be stuck without a phone for the rest of the night hoping no emergency comes up where I’m going to need it (thankfully the rest of the night was to the most part uneventful). I’ve never had something like this happen, that is where I can’t use the device, to any of the previous half-dozen or so phones I’ve owned. But that was that and there was nothing I could do until I got home several hours later.
    After finally arriving home I quickly connected the phone to iTunes which of course began the restore process. For the most part the process went fairly smooth but did take some time (about 10 minutes with all the verifying/restoring). During the process iTunes recognized my last backup, applied that to my phone, and reactivated the phone with AT&T. Everything was quite painless until finding out that iTunes doesn't quite back up everything which I've now found out and included a list of everything lost:
    ... Photos from my Camera Roll (this is the worst, lesson learned)
    ... Wi-Fi known networks and their passwords
    ... Mail account passwords
    ... Mail account messages (all messages had to be downloaded again)
    ... Calendar events that were recurring now appear twice
    ... All music/videos/photos had to be resynchronized
    I'm still a little shocked that the phone can crash to this degree, at anytime, where you'll lose complete functionality of the device until you connect to iTunes. I mean come on what is not functioning properly that won’t allow me to restart/reset the phone? Good thing I wasn’t on Vacation or else I would’ve been totally screwed for the trip. Also, this was a lesson learned for me to backup my Camera Roll photos as I just never really thought about it before. Everything else lost was just an inconvenience in having to manually add passwords back, read/delete mail messages again, and delete duplicate recurring calendar events.
    I just wanted to share my bad experience and hopefully Apple will continue to improve this device whereas it doesn't become completely useless for the evening. I still love my phone and this is by far the most trouble I’ve had with it.

    Yeah, it would be nice if the backup contained a little more well backup. The Camera Roll photos should be synced or at least have an option to do so. Mail messages and passwords can't take up that much space and could easily be encrypted (again have an option to not back up if so desired). As for the duplicate calendar events I think it's just flaky with using Outlook to begin with.

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.
