How do I disable the welcome screen in iCloud

This may seem like a simple question but every time I attempt to access my iCloud account, I get the Welcome screen asking me if I want to activate Find Your device (whatever device I'm using) and if I want to activate Find my Friends (NO) etc.  Half the time I don't even know what the correct address is for iPad and get all kinds of other websites and I just give up.  Now I'm in a CRITICAL SITUATION in which I've gotten a Time Machine message that my WD Drive is no longer backing up and must be reformatted immediatly  - YIKES!  As you all can see I am very frustrated - I am still in the process of restoring data I lost from a hard drive failure in JUNE 2011 LOL How do I disable the Welcome screen in iCloud?  What exactly is the correct web address?  Sounds like a question for Watson.  I know others have had a similar problem with WD external drives; can I recover enough data to get me back up and running?  All my Time Machine back ups are on that drive. Awhile ago I bought Carbon Copy; it is apparently not functioning as it should (again back up on that drive) because I did the upgrade prior to getting the data off the WD drive, it installed a Trial Carbon Copy and is now asking me to reinstall what is sees as new software thus the last disc image is "lost.  HELP PLEASE

Where are you trying to access your iCloud account, and from what device?
If you are trying to access your iCloud account at http://www.icloud.com/ from an iOS device, you can't. The iCloud.com website is not designed to be accessed from iOS devices - access it on your Mac.
Your Time Machine and WD external backups and Carbon Copy backups are nothing to do with iCloud, so I don't know what you think accessing iCloud will achieve in your situation anyay.

  • How can I disable the splash screen in Photoshop CC?

    Normally there's a welcome screen where I can disable the splash screen, however since there's no such screen in CC I wonder how I can disable the splash screen?
    Anyone can help me out?

    I think you may need to make some registry changes if you want to get rid if it.  For  applications like Lightroom and bridge and droplets are not going to use your shortcuts to start Photoshop up they will use what in the windows registry for key Photoshop.exe for command open and edit as will file associations when you double click on an image file type associated with Photoshop

    Is it possible to disable the Welcome screen?

    For Captivate?
    Assuming the answer is yes, the next question is for what version?
    Assuming the answer is 8, there doesn't appear to be a way.
    Assuming the answer is 7 or earlier, sure!

  • How do you disable the split screen / multi-window feature.

    I have had my phone for 2 days, and I can not figure out how to turn off the split screen/multi-window feature. It pops up automatically at the worst times and it is getting very frustrating. I have read many things on how to use it, but have yet to find any thing that explains of to disable it.

    Well, it doesn't seem that there is a way. But I solved my
    problem because my minimal player was Flash 7,0,29,0 and reset the
    minimal player to 7,0,0,0.

  • Please allow us to disable the Welcome Screen in Acrobat X for Windows!

    When another program launches a .pdf and it calls Acrobat X Pro to load, the welcome screen hangs everything up.  If it's an option for Mac OS, it should be for Windows too.  If there is a registry key or the likes that I can modify, by all means, please tell me!

  • How do I disable the welcome to firefox 15 page

    I just upgraded to FF 15 and every time I open my browser it goes thru this search function and then opens a welcome to ff 15 page & wants me to get the mobile browser. I don't want it and I don't want this page to load every time.

  • How do you disable the touch screen (Broken and handicapping normal mouse use)

    Hi, I have an ideacentre B540. My two year old daughter did something to my computer when I wasn't in the room and ended up busting it right on the top left corner. There is only one hairline crack that was visable in the upper left corner. I've found a replacement LCD screen, but cannot afford it right now, so... Meanwhile, I would like to just disable the touch portion of my computer, because often, it will think it is active (probably damaged the sensor in the fall :-P and take the power away from my  mouse, open random windows, and generally... Make an otherwise normal PC unuseable. Is there ANYTHING that I can do to disable the touch pad? Even a list of the touch specific processes that I can immediately delete upon startup would be great, because it seems to give me a few minutes before it decides to start acting up. Thanks!

  • How can I disable the split screen in Safari in iOS 8?

    As a mature user, I need the entire screen so I can enlarge textwhile reading.  This split screen uses too much space for me.

    Thank you so much! I was unable to figure this out on my own, had gotten so frustrated with Safari as a result that I actually downloaded the Chrome app!
    Now if I can just get the same thing to work in the mail app I will be happy.
    ...and, it turns out it's even easier in mail, it's just the regular "expand" icon rather than the slightly less intuitive book icon. So: HAPPINESS!

  • How to temporarily disable the touch screen in Windows 8? Touchsmart 320-1122la

    Meanwhile, read this document to see if it offers any solutions:HP TouchSmart PCs - Troubleshooting Touch Screen Issues in Windows 8

    Sorry that document didn't help. As for how to find your product and numbers, on my HP TouchSmart 320-1030, for example, I found both numbers on a sticker on the back of my PC, near the bottom, just under the inputs (USB, power, etc.). I also found that information in roughly the same area on my friend's HP ENVY TouchSmart 23-d034. A really easy way to find out is to press the CTRL, ALT, and S keys. The HP Support Information box will open, showing your model number, product number, serial number, and other important information. I used Snipping Tool to take a screen capture of this information on my screen, and then I printed it and emailed it to myself. It's good information to have on hand if you're getting support, making warranty inquiries, or for your insurance files, if your PC were, say, damaged in a fire, tornado, etc. Once you obtain that information, go to the Drivers and Download page. Click the Support and Drivers button, and enter your product number.  Check for new drivers for your product. You can also get support and warranty information at the above link.

  • How can I speed up the Welcome Screen on Illustrator CC 2014?

    I have updated to Illustrator CC 2014.
    I find that the welcome screen takes a long time to load. It is far from convenient.
    Is there anything I can do to speed up the welcome screen?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    System info:
    OS: Windows 7
    CPU: Xeon 3.2GHZ
    RAM:16GB
    System : 64bit

    Hi ImmerTech,
    You can disable the welcome screen permanently by following below steps if you are on mac machine other wise scroll down to bottom
    and check the option  "Don't Show Welcome Screen Again".
    Go to Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2014/Adobe Illustrator.app
    When you get to "Adobe Illustrator.app" you have to hold down the Control key
    The Control key reveals, among other options, "Show Package Contents" Select that, and then the "Contents>MacOS>CEP>extensions" folder and removed "com.illustrator..welcome" folder.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
