Please advice what to do ....how to cancel signing out....turn off my mac...or re instal icloud...
Thank you

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

  • When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
    In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
    If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
    Hide
    Set up automatic iCloud uploading
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
    Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
    Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
    Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
    In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
    Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
    To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

  • HT1766 I've just purchased an Iphone 5c. I have chosen the restore from iCloud and the phone has now restarted to complete the restore. It has been 3 hours and the progress bar has not moved.

    I have chosen the restore from iCloud and the phone has now restarted to complete the restore. It has been 3 hours and the progress bar has not moved. I have now tried to reload again by holding the sleep etc, to no avail

    If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone.  If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes.  The process would look like this:
    Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
    Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
    Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup.  Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
    When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
    Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
    Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

  • Cannot unlock phone swipe to unlock wont work can only swipe up for control pannel and camera but no buttons will work cant even turn off and on as it wont work

    iPhone 4S. Swipe to unlock wont work can only swipe up for control pannel and camera but no buttons will work cant even turn off and on as it wont work. cannot restore iphone either as it wont let me.

    Hey Angus97,
    These are the recommended troubleshooting steps to take when you are unable to Slide to Unlock:
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    from: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

  • Trying to restore Whatssapp from iCloud and it's frozen

    I am borrowing an iPhone 4s as mine isn't working anymore, before transferring my sim I backed up all my chat history on Whatssapp.
    Now my sim is in a new iPhone 4s and has frozen whilst trying to back up.
    i Have tried putting the phone om and off and also deleting the app but it isn't working and the reboot isn't showing how much percent it has left etc (which it normally does)
    i can't lose the data on Whatssapp as it has important information so please help!
    Thanks in advance

    Where do you have 100GB of space?  The largest phone is 64GB; the largest iCloud account is 55GB.
    You need sufficient space on your phone, not in your iCloud account, if that's what you mean.  Check Settings>General>Usage to see the available space on your phone.  If you don't have enough, you'll have to delete or sync some of the date off of your phone to make more room.

  • My ipad will not workit trying to back up from icloud and wil not let into settings

    help my ipad will not work keeps trying to up date icloud and will not let me log in

    I think I understand what you mean so try this and see if it lets you get back into your settings.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I need to have firefox to accept mac os system preferences networkpane?

    I need to change firefox config file to work with the wildblue optimizer as follows: set network.http pipelining to "true".
    set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true.
    set http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy to 30
    set http.max-persistent-connections-per-server to 16
    Will this screw things up?

    So that is what is listed as the OS X version your Mac is now running?
    If so then you have Lion. Again why do you think you need to upgrade? What did the store tell you that makes you think you need to upgrade? Are you having some type of incompatibility with some other Apple device?
    You can upgrade to Mt Lion for $20 or Mavericks for free if your Mac meant the system requirements for those other versions of OS X.
    But the real question is still why do you need to do this upgrade. There has to be an underlying reason for it.

    Help

    Check first to see if your iMac meet specs.
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    512MB of memory
    DVD drive for installation
    9GB of available disk space
    If it does, backup your data first
    Purchase Leopard DVD and install
    These DVD are no longer being sold be Apple so you will have to find it else where.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
    As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

    Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

    Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
    I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!
