Cannot get into settings to backup

I cannot get into mt settings area.  I need to backup.  It just flashes to blank screen then goes right back to home screen.

Double tap your home button to bring up the recently used apps.  You'll see an app icon below and a page view above.  Swipe the page view upwards with your finger to close your apps fully.  Then tap the home button once and you'll be back to your home screen.  Try to open settings now.

  • Cannot get into settings on ipad

    I currently have an iphone 6 and an ipad 2 both running ios 8.0.2.  I am having trouble with my ipad, i cannot get into the settings for icloud, messages, facetime, email, and a few other things. I have tried turning handoff off on my iphone. I do have a family icloud account set up.  I have not had time to read up on the new settings of ios 8 so i am wondering if this is just how icloud is now? I let my kids play with the ipad a lot and i would rather them not be able to read/write to my contacts with my text, answer my calls etc.

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

    i have forgotten my passcode but cannot restore factory settings as it says that I need to disable find my iphone but cannot do this as i cannot get into my itouch to disable it

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • When I changed my Apple ID the ID did not change on my iCloud account. there appears to be no way to change the ID because I cannot get into account settings for iCloud

    When I changed my Apple ID the ID did not change on my iCloud account. there appears to be no way to change the ID because I cannot get into account settings for iCloud

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    I cannot get into my ipad because icloud has me locked out because of no backup for 2 weeks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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.

  • TS3991 I have restored my mini i pad after it would not let me get in and I cannot get to the settings or general settings at all I cannot get into my i pad at all what do I need to do?

  • TS1702 my messages on my iphone 4 receive but i cannot get into the application to read or reply to them

    my messages on my iphone 4 receive but i cannot get into the application to read or reply to them

    If the messaging app is crashing at launch, and it is not fixed by a reboot, you will have to restore the device to factory settings, and then choose the set up as new option. Restoring to factory, and then restoring from a backup will return the issue to your iPhone.
    If it is all saved to iCloud or your computer(outside of iTunes) then go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings. This will erase all info from your iPhone! So be sure you have your stuff saved, erase & in the start menu up choose "Set Up As New," sign in with iCloud/Apple ID, get back to texting like a boss.

  • One of my apps has recently updated. Now I cannot get into it . How do I get my data back?

    One of my apps has recently updated. Now I cannot get into it. I am afraid if I delete it , it will lose its data. Help.

    First check to see if it's on the multitasking list and if so, force close it: double-tap the home button, locate the app in question, swipe up on the image above the app icon then tap the home button again.
    If not, try restoring your most recent backup.  It should include the app data.  This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud.

  • HT204053 I recently changed ny Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on.

    I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go 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 iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad 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.

  • HT1414 Can't get into settings because of an icloud message

    I have a message on my ipad from icloud backup stating This ipad hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. I have had it plugged in for a few days, all the support states to go into settings to restore but I can't get into settings, it will not let me power off the ipad or anything.

    Question has been answered, read some other posts with the same problem and figured it out.
    Thank you.
