Block the iCloud port?

I have a home network and a slower "cabin" network in a different location. At home, no problem, upload everything. The cabin upload is slower and shared so all the iCloud uploads are slowing it down way too much and I'd like iCloud to upload only at home. Turning off iCloud on my iphone/iPads won't solve the problem either because we're talking 10 different people. It's not realistic for them to turn it off when they get there.
Is there a port I can block for iCloud uploads? Either on an airport or my dd-wrt router? I can't have these uploads killing the network. Any advice?

Hi - normally the people who respond to questions are supposed to have experience with the topic - however I saw that no one has responded and although I haven't dealt with this issue, I can refer you to a previous post that may help you figure this out - I hope it helps - please see https://discussions.apple.com/message/16807566#16807566

Wiki for home user connecting with ISP who blocks the port 80

I setup a Standalone Wiki at home with a connection to an internet router but the ISP blocks the default port 80. I'm not experienced in Advanced Server mode and wants to get it done in server preference instead of Server Admin.
I did a risky procedure by run the Admin server to tweak the Web service - change the port from 80 to 16080. And managed the users sometimes in workgroup Manager and sometimes in Server preference ->groups. It runs well in the first days but then I restart the server I found, "Not Found
404: No group with that name (mac) hosted on this server" error.
the folders were still there but the server reports this error. I attempt to delete and add in Server preference for another group but in vain. the user blog is prefect. you can try http://khszeto.dyndns.org:16080/users/
username: mac1 password: mac1
What I want is getting my old wiki group back and I can create new group.

It's likely Server Admin being referenced.
You can change the port using the Apache configuration (text) files and setting up a virtual host on an alternate port, or you can use Server Admin to set this up for you. The Apache files are pretty clear around how to do this, and SA is itself pretty easy.
I'd probably not use a direct connection into the Apache port (16000 + the "real" Apache port) for web access (when the performance cache is enabled) as the base reply here has used, I'd tend to stick to the designated port. I'd tend to use one of the "traditional" alternate ports for the web server. These can be 81, 8080 or 8000. There's no tweak for 16080, as that port is part of how Apache works when the performance cache is enabled on port 80.
The other aspect here is usually dynamic DNS, as most folks that are seeking this lack static IP address, and the lack of a static IP makes dynamic DNS a requirement for in-bound access. The IP addresses on some ISPs can shift fairly frequently. This was mentioned earlier.
And FWIW, Mac OS X Server generally wants a static IP address.
I'll leave you to deal with the terms and conditions and requirements for your ISP. Some will explicitly disallow server access. Many will monitor network traffic. Most want you to purchase static IP and related.

I want to be able to totally block the FaceTime functionality in my home network. I would like to do this at the router level. Does anyone know the hostname or IP address that the FaceTime application uses? Or which port it connects to?

I want to be able to totally block the FaceTime functionality in my home network so my 4 kids aren't using the Facetime feature- It was easy for Skype just had to enter the work Skype on my Router Security list- and it denies access. I would like to do this at the router level for FaceTime? Only site I find in init.ess.apple.com - is this the startup site for Facetime? Does anyone know a site I can block, hostname or IP address that the FaceTime application uses? Or which port it connects to?

I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open. Good luck!

How can I block someone in my family from seeing my email since it's in the Icloud but we share the same Apple account?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

how can i verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223?

Talk to someone who knows something about networking and/or firewalls on an appropriate forum.
Configuring your network and/or firewall is beyond the scope of this forum, which is devoted to issues using the iPhone.

Do you mean that the iPad is on the activation screen ? If it is then does it not show the first letter of your email address and the provider e.g. similar to :
If that is what you are seeing then you don't remember any email account that you had starting with that letter with that provider ? If not then do you know if you have any of the account's downloads in your computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ?
Or see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
If you cant remember or find your id then you won't be able to use your iPad

TS3992 the iCloud backup window blocks access to my mini iPad, what to do?

The iCloud backup window blocks access to my mini iPad, what to do?

Previous posters on different threads to same issue stated that resetting iPad by simultaneously holding down Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds will initiate a hardware reset (ignore the slider to shutdown) and clear the issue.
Prior to upgrading my iPad to 6.1.2, it went into the same iPad bricking modal dialog. Apple has an OS issue that needs to be resolved. User's shouldn't have to restart their iPad because of an iCloud backup timer. I couldn't use my iPad for a week on vacation because of this error and I didn't know the reset trick.

TS3991 iCloud Backup message box blocked the iPad to open

iCloud Backup box blocked the iPad to be opened. It has this message: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". I have it connected to Wi-Fi and to PC, but it still blocks the iPad. Please help to troubleshoot.

For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.

After upgrade to 10.10, can't send email (SMTP cert. error). On previous version running on another machine, can still send find. This new version is missing the "Usual Ports" checkbox option. Can someone please help?

I just upgraded to 10.10. On the mail program, one of my accounts is having an issue sending email. I am getting the following error message:
The certificate for this server is invalid.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
But on another machine running Mavericks, I can still continue to send email. The same is try from my iPhone 5S.
On that machine running Mavericks the SMTP is configured as SSL and for "Usual Ports" (25, 465, 587) but THIS OPTION IS MISSING ON THE NEW VERSION. On the new version I have tried configuring the port to 25 and then 465 and 587 with no success. I have used the Network Utility to see if my provider is blocking me -- it is not. I have no third-party software on this machine (anti virus). I can receive email fine. On the new Yosemitie Mail there are new checkbox options of Automatically check my settings and Allow unsecure connections. I tried to uncheck SSL for SMTP but then it says it cannot send securely my passowrd and i need to check the option "Allow to send unsecurely". I did that but the same error message keeps appearing. So I have tried nearly everything I have been able to, all to no avail. Please can somebody help?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, it is a POP account. Incoming mail is fine. My port for incoming is also 110. But the outgoing port should be 587 (or 24, 465 and 587 as on Mavericks' "Usual Ports" option). I am using the same configuration across three different devices and only the machine running Yosemite is having issues. I notice in the new version of Mail there is no longer the "Usual Ports" option. I am not sure this is the culprit or not. But the fact is no matter how I configure it, it will not send mail for these particular servers. I have multiple clients and only one is affected, meaning I can send email from other email addresses (different hosting contracts) on Yosemite but on this one particular one I cannot.

What you have experienced, though annoying, doesn't necessarily mean someone has hacked your account, though if you were finding that you were blocked because the sending limit had been reached that might indicate that you had been hacked.
What can happen is that when people receive emails which appear to come from their own address but they haven't sent they naturally tend to be concerned: however it's most unlikely that anyone has hacked their account, they've just been targeted by one of two common spammers' techniques: both arise because it's all too easy to forge the 'from' address on messages to be something other than the real one.
There are two methods. One is that the sender has forged the 'from' address to be the same as the 'to' address (so other people will see it coming from themselves, not you), presumably in the hope of confusing spam filters. It's harmless, if extremely annoying. Delete it (never ever answer spam or try to unsubscribe from it), and you don't need to be worried about it.
The other problem is that a spammer is forging your address as the 'from' address on a whole batch of messages. The first thing you hear about this is when you start getting bounce messages because the spam has been sent to non-existent addresses and is being bounced to you. There's no point at all in responding to it. It's infuriating but normally stops after a bit as they move on to another forged address.
There isn't really anything you can do about it: closing the account isn't really worth the hassle unless you are totally swamped, because you will have to tell everyone your new address. Apple can't really do any more than they already are about spam. However changing your password on general principles is a good idea.
