Having problems doing an iCloud backup it keeps showing the estimated time thing but the blue load bar hasn't budged in over a half hour is there a way to correct this

You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

The default daily calendar settings in iCal is half hourly; is there any way to have this appear as 10 minutes instead?

iCal appears as half hourly setting in the daily view. Can I change this to 10 minute intervals, so I can book 6 appointment in 1 hour if I so wished?

HT4759 My icloud Backup text keeps showing and blocking my screen. I can't use my Ipad now

My icloud Backup text keeps showing and blocking my screen. I can't use my Ipad. I touch on either "Ignore" or "Setting" but it doesn't go away.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. (If you see an off slider first, ignore it.)

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

TS1424 I rented a movie and accidentally started it. It says I have 23 hours to watch. Is there any way to correct this and just keep it in my library and have the month to watch it.

I rented a movie and downloaded it to my Ipad2. I accidentally hit the start. I soon found out that have 23 hours to watch it rather than store it for the month. Is there a way to correct this?

My ipad2 no longer lists songs alphabetically, is there a way to correct this?

My ipad2 no longer lists songs alphabetically. If I know the name of a song, but not the artist...I can't find it, is this a problem for others? Is there a way to correct this? If I look for a song that begins with an A....Adele pops up...Help?

On the bottom of the screen, there are tabs, when you click on them, they order the music in Alphabetical order based on what is selected...If you click on Playlist and have playlists on your iPad, then they are going to be in the order that the music was added on the playlist when it was created and the music was added. You want them in alphabetical order based on the name of the song...Click the "Songs" tab which has a musical note above it and the app will then sort the music in aplhabetical order...I have no issues with the music app in my iOS 7 and am able to get it to sort the music however needed by managing these tabs.

My music library seems corrupted. Nearly every song (431 albums) displays "the song ... could not be used because the original file cannot be found". Is there any way to correct this? Please help, thanks, Kelly

Almost my entire itunes music library seems corrupted. Nearly every song (431 albums) displys "the song ... cannot be used because the original file cannot be found". Is there any way to correct this? Please help!

Select one of the songs in question and right click, then select "Get Info". On the main dialog page you should see where iTunes thinks the file resides. Then use Windows Explorer to see if the file is actually there. If not, find out where your music is stored.If there is not a correlation between iTunes and reality, go into iTunes and delete all of the files which are not found. Then, in iTunes, select File->Add Folder to Library and select where the music is stored. iTunes will re-add all of the music into your library.

I live in Somerset, UK, but having returned from a trip to Germany, my Wifi iPad thinks its location is in Germany. Is there any way to correct this? I am new to apple conventions, but thought this was an automatic update.

I live in Somerset, UK, but having recently come back from a trip to Germany, my iPad thinks it is still in Germany. Is there any way to correct this? I am new to apple conventions, but thought this was an automatic update when the iPad locks on to a local Wifi hotspot. Any thoughts out there?

Thank you all for responding - much appreciated, but none of the advice has shifted my location from Germany. Time Zone is shown as Lonon, Region Format is shown as UK, and Reset Network Settings seemed only to switch off the Wifi connection.
I'll leave it at that I think, and make do with the iPad thinking it's in Germany.
Best wishes,

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but I can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?
Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor. The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz. If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer. Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue. Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log. I don't know if they're related. How 'bout you?
If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

HT1212 My IPod Touch is locked & I cannot enter password or even slide to unlock. Is there a way to correct this. It also says I can try again after 23 million or so minutes.

My granddaughter had not used her Ipod Touch for a few weeks & when she attempted to turn it on it was locked w/ a message indicating the Ipod touch was disabled & to try again in 23 million + minutes. I cannot even attempt to unlock it as the slid function does not work. Are there any ideas as to how to reset or correct this problem?

Does anyone know how to locate an iPhone 4s which hasn't been setup for iCloud? I have the Number of the phone,but it belongs to a family member who didn't set it up.Is there a way of negating this?

Help me! Please
Just been on holiday and one of our party lost his iPhone 4s.He didn't set it up on iCloud.He has it set to vibrate and it goes straight into voice mail. Does anyone know if there is a way of locating it without iCloud/MobileMe?
We do know his number which is a bonus I suppose
Cheers for any help
Boz1070

Sorry, unless Find My Phone was turned on & activated on that phone, there is no way to locate it other than physically looking for it.
