Cannot view iCloud Account in Settings

I posted this question a month ago, no replies, but my problem persists so I thought I'd try again.
On both my iMac and Air, when I go to the iCloud section of Settings and navigate from Manage to View Account (then enter my password), I get an "unknown error". Something's not right, does anyone have a suggestion.
Thanks

Read these Apple documents:
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Sharing and Shared Photo Streams
iCloud: Add photos or videos to a shared stream
iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
What you will need to do is to crreate a shared Photo Stream(s) for your photos as that will keep them on the server indefinitely.

" Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"! i can't sign out my icloud account

I want to sign out my icloud account but I can't. When I try sign out, I received notification " Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"

Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!
Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry
Recovery restore challenges
- computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
rebooted computer then recovery restore worked
- recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!
Restore from backup challenges
* Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!
- have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
- each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
- when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
- I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
- finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
Missing apps from restore from backup
- Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
- I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
Conclusion
This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

Cannot delete iCloud account on iPad as it requests password to my previous Apple id

HI
i have changed my Apple ID however the iCloud settings are still fixed to the previous Id. I appreciate that I need to delete the current iCloud account and sign in with the new I'd but I am unable to do this as it requests the password to my old Id account which has an email address that no longer exists.
please help, turning in circles.
regards

Hi Stevenisa
If I am understanding very well, you have changed the Apple ID, and the iCloud settings are still related to the old one. However, you want to sign out from the old one, it's demanding you to put the password.
Your old email address (which is an apple ID) is no longer exist? did you tried to reset the password from the old one?
is the Find My iPhone feature is ON?

I have wrong email entered so cannot verify icloud account

HI All
i just upgraded from an ipad two to an iPad Air. I decided to give my old ipad to my friend who has been in hospital with a broken back for 6 months to help her have some contact with the outside world.
i backed up everything on my old ipad to icloud and then transferred it over to my new machine. However, in the process somewhere my friend's email address became the verifying address for my icloud account. As I cannot log in to my friend's email acc not having her password and so on, my icloud account remains unverified and the box asking me to sign in to icloud keeps popping up not only on my ipad but iphone, asking for acc verification. It's also an old itunes ID that's coMing up. If I delete the acc apparently I lose everything I stored on icloud.
can anyone suggest how I can change the verifying email address to mine and update to my new ID? Thanks guys and ladies!!
Shirley

The verification address should be the primary email address associated with your ID (and it is also normally the same as the name of your ID). This explains how to change the primary email address for your ID: Change your Apple ID. After changing it to the correct address, click the Verify Now link next to the address and the verification email should then be sent to the correct address.

Ipad - cannot access icloud account

Daughter setup icloud account at initial setup and cannot remember password, not 100% certain of username either - cannot retrieve password as goes to that icloud account when resetting. I have a primary apple id we use for all devices so this should be a secondary one - cannot log in under primary id either...
Can I do a reset? It just sits at activate ipad screen

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, unless you know the Apple ID, there is absolutely nothing that can be done, you cannot use your mobile device. You may be able to find your Apple ID at Look up your old and forgotten Apple ID

Cannot view email accounts or list-only the most recent email

Hi,
For some reason, I cannot view the email IDs configured on my phone, or the emails in those IDs. All i can see is the last email sent to me, with the From and to fields and text of the email. There are no back, reply, delete etc button, and I cant just swipe it away either. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Cannot delete iCloud Account or reset Password

Hi,
I'm trying to Delete my old iCloud account off my iPhone so that I can set up my new account.
However, to do so, it is asking me to enter my password (which I have forgot). I've tried resetting my Password using iForgot, but I never receive an Email from Apple (I have checked spam and spam filters). I have also tried the security question but it says my answer is incorrect. Lastly, I have tried the "I have forgotten my Apple ID" route, but I get a message saying that my old account doesn't exist. Therefore, I'm in limbo!
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a way around it?
Many thanks.

Hello!

Cannot add icloud account to Contacts so all my icloud contacts are stuck on the cloud and I can't actually get them on my desktop imac

So all my devices have my contacts on them from my icloud account. However on my desktop imac when I go to the Contact application there are none in there. When I go to the preferences for contacts and try to add the icloud account I get through the login process of user account and password but then nothing else happens, no contacts get added to the imac. Hmmm. Now what?

Yes that is all correct. Now, I think I know why it isn't working, I just don't know how to fix it. Several years ago before icloud really was up and going I used dropbox to sync my contacts between my computers. I suspect that is the problem. WHen I open Contacts in Maverick on my imac it knows there are vcards somewhere and asks if I want to add them. I click yes but then it sits there and does nothing. There is no "Library" file that I can find in Maverick to move that old address book file back to the application support file. That's what I have to figure out.

From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your Mac, launch iTunes. See if you can access your account.

I cannot find iCloud in preferance / settings menu? Any ideas?

I am trying to set iCloud on my iMac and cannot find the link for it under preferences / settings? Any ideas?

are you running OS X 10.7.2 on your iMac? If not, that's why. Also, please put the correct OS X in your profile. It says you are running iOS 5.0.1, which can not be run on a mac. That is only for iDevices. This will prevent further confusion.

Cannot view all of the settings and options of some programs

Is there a way to reduce the size of a program's window to the screen 800 x 600 resolution limit. Many of the settings are below the bottom of the screen and cannot scroll to the bottom of the viewing window. It would be nice if I can increase the screen's resoution-the maximum limit is 800 x 600. Is there a setting in OS X to resize the viewing window?

mike_gyver, Welcome to the discussion area!
Yea, that 800 x 600 limitation finally drove me to get a new iBook.
When I encounter an application with a screen like that, I fire off a request to the support area of the manufacturer of the application. Usually I get a nice reply saying that they will look into it.
