I have the iCloud backup screen up and it won't let me do anything. It's stuck and I can't shut the ipad down or use the screen at all.
The iCloud back up screen it on my ipad. It won't let me do anything, turn it down or use any of the screen. I have even tried to force shut it down but it won't let me use the screen at all. I plugged it into my main computer to do a backup and it's still stuck.

It's rude not to share your solution and then mark your answer as correct so that it may help others. So in case anybody else reads this ....
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
That will get you out of that backup screen. There is a reason that screens shows up. You haven't backed up your iPad! Make sure you backup regularly!

Click here and search the article for '2 out of 3' without the quotes; this generally involves either a message being sent to your rescue email address or contacting the iTunes Store staff directly.

How do I get albums and songs I have purchased back on my devices? They show up in my purchased list but when I click on them a little circle shows up with an x in it and it won't let me do anything with it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.
See Grouping tracks into albums for tips on getting iTunes organized.

My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers. How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether? I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

The screen keeps refreshing and It won't let me do anything
Started last night, was working fine before then. Only had the laptop 9 months. It wasn't hot and the only programs I have upload recently was updating my norton virus protector 2 days ago.
Hello @Hammoon,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that the screen on your notebook computer keeps refreshing and it will not let you do anything. Are you able to boot your computer into Safe Mode without your computer freezing? If so, does the screen stop refreshing itself? I would be happy to help you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. Below is a is an HP Support document that will demonstrate how to find your computer's product number.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please re-post with the necessary information, this way I will be able to research this further for you. I look forward to your reply!
Cheers!

hi,
So, basically... I had to owe Apple money when I had no money on my card but now I've got money on my card and it won't allow me to pay off what I need to and I'm still unable to even download apps, songs or anything and it's worrying me.
Can someone help please?If you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended. Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.
You won't be able to get text messages back. -
message showed up dont have enough icloud storage cant back up and it wont let me do anything cant close go to settings or shut down ipad. not sure what to do
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

is the icloud setting greyed out? - do you have restrictions tunned on - if so do you have your mail ids set to not llow changes? - if so enable them to allow changes and the icloud icon will get ungreyed out - after you set up icloud you can set your mail ids to not allow changes again (until you want to make any changes to your icloud settings)

I have forgetten my security q answers and itunes won't let me download anything! HELP!
Hi, this is the first time I've tried to download something off iTunes, my account defiantly has money on it and all is okay. Then, I go to type my password and the security questions pop up, I've forgotten both my answers and am now stuck! Does anyone know what I should do? I've tried the link but it won't let me change the questions as I need to know the answers.
When you log into your account via
www.appleid.apple.com
and click on Password & Security there should be a link in blue saying
"Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to...."
Have you tried this?
