Can't interact with  iCloud preferences in system preferences!

Since installing Maverick on my Imac 2 weeks ago I have had issues with the Icloud preferences in system preferences. I click on the icon, nothing happens, same with the internet account button.
I have been through the process of deleting the icloud folder from the application support folder and restarting, I can access icloud preferences on the restart and log in but it works for an hour or so, some times longer but have to go through the process again.
Other symptoms are mail not recieving new mail or being able to send, and having to force quit safari when I shut down imac. these are tempoarily resolved when I go through the above process.
This is the first recurring problem I have had in a lifetime of Mac use.
Any clues on how to fix?
Cheers
Rob

I figured out how to solve the problem. I guess the JavaScript engine in Safari is more robust. IWeb wraps HTML snippets in more JavaScript. I updated the webpage to include the original JavaScript from PollDaddy and the poll now works. Here's the URL:
http://somerville-cya.dyndns.org/Activities.html
Notice 1) I modified the original iWeb code to include my own javascipt effect. 2). The PollDaddy code is shown directly in the page while other snippets are in their original iWeb form.

  • Can't interact with any open windows, can't interact with flash content

    I've already tried reinstalling, resetting and deleting my profile, nothing's changed.
    I can't close any Firefox window by pressing "x", or by pressing Alt+F4, I can only close it through the task manager or task bar. Minimising or going into windowed mode is also impossible.
    If a new window opens itself (e.g. A download) I can't interact with it at all - It's visible on top of the main window, but nothing I do affects it.
    I also can't interact with flash content (like pausing a youtube video)
    There is absolutely no feedback when I try. The icon doesn't change.
    I recently reset firefox, there are no add-ons, themes etc. installed, the problem persists.
    I am running Windows 7 64bit, everything else (including other browsers) appears to be working fine and a virus scan (Avast! free version) turned up nothing.
    I'd really appreciate any help!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • TS3988 I can't access my iCloud preferences in settings on my iPhone. It stays greyed out

    I can't access my iCloud preferences in settings. The icon stays greyed out and I simply can't tap on it, any ideas what I am doing wrong?

    Go to Restrictions and turn that off.  When on, you are not able to get into most settings.

  • Can't modify Mavericks iCloud settings from System Preferences or connect Mail to iCloud

    I tried Keychain for the first time the other day, went away for the weekend and forgot my master password #*#@$!
    In the process of trying a few different fixes I've changed my Apple ID password.  Most things are working well.
    I can log in to iCloud via a browser using my Apple ID & new password.  I can also log in to itunes using the new password.
    When I select iCloud from System Preferences and purposefully enter a wrong password, it tells me 'Incorrect password' in red font.  But when I enter the correct password, it is not rejected but the 'Enter Password' option remains on display and all the iCloud options/checkboxes remain greyed out.  
    In Mail, there is an error symbol against the iCloud inbox.  When I click on the error/circle symbol I am told 'Mail can't connect to the iCloud account "iCloud" ' and am requested to enter the password, which I do but with no effect. 
    Contacts has a similar problem and displays an error circle next to the iCloud account list, as does Calendar.
    Any ideas out there?  Please help me!!  
    Is there any way to use Time Machine to revert to earlier settings?

    If you are running Mt. Lion download and apply the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.2 (Combo).  It includes the iCloud preference pane for the System preferences. 
    If you're running Lion then download and apply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo) as it also includes the iCloud preference pane.

  • I can't sign into icloud from my system preference!!

    We have two desk top mac's OS X 10.9.3.  We switched the house computer to our office and visa versa.  After unplugging it and setting it back up the one now in the house will not let me sign into my iCloud from the System Preference area. (the other works fine) I have tried everything.  I know I am using the right ID and password because I can sign in online but nothing will let me sign in under the icloud system preference and get my icloud to connect to the cloud information.  HELP it's making me crazy  I have spent the whole day trying everything.

    I can sign on with two different id's (that are email addresses) and both use the same password.  And I can sign on to icloud.com via Chrome and have no problem.  But when I try to sign on to icloud via system preferences it tells me invalid password with one of the email addresses and that I can't sign in at this time - etc. with the other email address.
    I think I give up and am going to haul it into our computer store tomorrow.  I just want to scream at this point.
    None of it makes any sense.
    Thanks for trying to help me.  I do appreciate it!!

  • HT204053 my icloud id is not registered and having trouble deleting it from my ipad to replace with my original id. how can i delete my icloud if the system doesnt reconize it.

    trouble deleting icloud account from IPad. The ID is not reconized and trouble resetting it.

    Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    The only way to purchase from the iTunes Store is via iTunes, on a computer or iOS device, and it will automatically download your purchase immediately. You have a couple of options: you can go ahead and purchase on another computer that has iTunes and then just copy the purchases to your Vista system (via any normal means of file transfer), or if you're in the US, the new iTunes in the Cloud feature, currently in beta and so not completely reliable, would allow you to download the purchases again at some future time when you get your iTunes problems sorted out. I'd recommend the first option as the best solution for now (and the only solution if you're not in the US).

  • Why can't I open iCloud preferences?

    When I open Mail, I immediately get a message that says "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "[email protected]". It then tells me to open iCloud preferences to fix the problem. However, when I click the button "iCloud preferences" or the "Later" button, the message briefly goes away and then reappears over and over and over. I can't find anything in iCloud preferences that seems to need changing. The only way to quit Mail is to Force Quit, but the message pane is still there.

    If you mean that you are trying to go to iCloud.com in a browser on your iPad, you can't - unless you use a browser that can identify as a desktop browser like iCab Mobile or Mercury. All of the information that is in iCloud is already on your iPad...Notes, documents, contacts Photo Stream, email. There is no need to go to iCloud.com.

  • Can i interact with an optimos camera

    Hi
    I wish to use an Optimos camera from Qimaging with Labview. there doesn't seem to be any Vi's available. The only thing that seems to interact with it is micromanager. Is there a way to use micromanager drivers in Labview?

  • How can I interact with a Database?

    I've got a project I'm working on in my Java class, and I can't find out how to make the program interact with a database. I was wondering if anybody here could help me out at all? My partners and I have already gotten most of the program figured out (but not programmed), and this is giving us a little bit of trouble. Our books don't have this information, and our teacher told us to check here, so here I am. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You need to get a jdbc driver for your database. Your vendor should provide you with one. If not then you can try looking for free implementations of that particular database.
    This jdbc driver is used by your program to execute sql statements in the database itself, removing the need for you to handle all the nitty gritty stuff. Kind of like ODBC.
    Like the earlier post pointed out, the tutorials is a good place to look at code samples

  • Can Director Interact With Other Applications?

    Hello,
    I am a CBT/E-Learning Developer looking for a way to author
    Guided Help. I am thinking of how to develop interactive tutorials
    that, instead of using screenshots of an application, interact with
    the application itself.
    For instance, let's imagine that a person is working in MS
    Word and doesn't know how to save a file. He can click the icon for
    the "Saving A File" lesson, and a caption displays on top of MS
    Word that reads something like "Click FILE", along with some type
    of indicator of the FILE button, such as an outline, highlight,
    arrow, etc. The user clicks FILE, the File Menu drops down in MS
    Word, and the next step of instructions is displayed. In this way,
    the usre is guided through the steps of saving a file as he
    actually performs the task in the software.
    Can Director create this type of thing?
    Thanks a lot,
    Mike

    Hi Chunick,
    Thanks for replying. I used MS Word as just an example; the
    type of software I'm wanting to use this for is police records
    management software. I've been doing the interactive simulation
    tutorials for them since 1999, using multimedia authoring tools
    Demoshield and Opus Pro, and demo authoring tools RoboDemo and Demo
    Builder. However, I wanted to get away from interactive tutorials
    for 3 reasons:
    (1) My client's software is frequently updated, and keeping
    up with taking new screenshots is a hassle.
    (2) I'm of the opinion that "at the moment of need", process
    embedded "guided help" in the actual application is a much more
    useful form of training than working through a simulation.
    (3) It will greatly help my client's support staff and
    training staff
    I've been researching process embedded e-learning and guided
    help for almost a year now. I've looked at everything from
    multimedia authoring to macro software. I even found two programs
    that do exactly what I want, but they are very very expensive, much
    more expensive than Director.
    Thanks for the tip on Hook Xtra; I'll check that out. Last
    night I found an xtra called MasterApp, which may also do what I
    need. I appreciate the concern about the difficulty of programming,
    and I'm not a programmer (except HTML, and we all know how easy
    that is). But I'm in this for the long haul, and would be using it
    for potential new clients, not just my current client. I love
    learning new software, and I have a membership to the IEEE Computer
    Society, which gives me over 1300 online e-learning courses I can
    take, including Director.
    Thanks again for the lead!
    Mike

  • Can VC interact with Portal session

    Hi Experts,
         Currently, I　need to get portal user id from the http session, so how does VC interact with session object? 
        Thanks!

    HI,
    it could be better , if you explain the kind of application you want to do.
    even if you developing the simple application, you can access the user id .
    by the following steps
    1) Place the user data on the view
    2) Place the Text View UI control on the form
    3) set the text view UI control default value = USER@UNIQUEID
    and run the application

  • How to create a modal dialog, which I can still interact with document when the dialog is show.

    HI,
        Now, I am developing an automation plugin, and want to create a modal dialog, which I still can interact with document when the dialog is show.
        I find photoshop has some modal dialog have this function, such as the dialog of Customize Proof Condition and the dialog of Color Settings. Are these dialogs not modal dialog?
         Thanks!

    The whole point of a modal dialog is that you cannot interact with other things while it is active.
    And Photoshop does not support plugins accessing the rest of Photoshop while any plugin UI is active.
