    How do i activate ICloud Texting in my Iphone? When i first downloaded update the blue box appeared in my outgoing texts and it was working. suddenly it switched back to green and regular texting before update. not sure what happened.

    Check you iMessaging settng by going into settings>messages then make sure iMessage is on.  If it is on then try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

  • HT204053 HOW TO ACTIVATE ICLOUD LOCK WITH CHANGED PASSWORD AFTER RECOVERY

    i have lost my iphone5 9 moths ago. recently i find my ihone5 but it is stucked in icloud lock mood. now a days i use that same icloud account for another iphone4s and i have changed the icloud password. i have changed the icloud password 2 month ago. i have also lost access in my hotmail account. in this case can i activate my iphone5 with current password or i have to get access to my email adddress. or what can i do now?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • TS3992 So how do I activate iCloud Backup if the "activate" slider is disabled?

    Yes. asked this question now for a few times and think must ask it over and over until someon from Apple reads this and tries to fix the problem.
    Is this allways the way Apple gives support?
    I wonder how apple could get that rich when everything works "so fine".
    Is is allways that horrible for people who are "experts" with other computers, working with computers for over 30 years and thinking in "bits and bytes" and semiconductors.
    And why are apple products "olute so easy" for people who are absolut noobs with computers, video recorders and technology at all?
    I think I am gonna to give this iPad thingy back and get a windows  or android tablet.

    Yeah, Apple support did answer. But they only linked me to their "Troubleshooting creating an iCloud Backup" site, that tells nothing about real problems.
    Well the point with the PROFILES was a very good point.
    I thought about that previously but never analyzed it.
    As I use the iPad private and for business there is a profile from my company whish has restrictions: "No icloud backup", even I have turned restrictions on. The profile gets active, as soon as I connect to my companies WLAN.
    This is to hold up- and downstream bandwiths low.
    So have to find out how I can create a "home" profile and activate that when I am outside.
    Thanx
    But: Where on ****, or in which Apple-documentation I would have found that?

  • How do i activate iCloud email

    I had a @mac.com email address. This account was configured as a MobileMe account on my iPad and iPhone. When I try to log into the iCloud settings option with that account the Settings app closes down (it still shows as running in the background). This happens on both my iPhone and iPad and happens whether I try to use my @mac or @me address. Similarly, if I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and try to go to the settings for that MobileMe account the Settings app closes down. So, I can't delete the account and try re-adding it. I tried just adding a new iCloud specific account, but it tells me that an account that account is already added to my device. I've tried restoring my devices and just starting fresh but I can't restore them now that they're updated to iOS 5. Just keep getting errors that everyone else seems to be getting.
    Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on a fix?
    One last thing I've noticed is that my email account is no longer accessible either. On my Mac it says Unable to connect. I've deleted and re-added the account and still get the same error. In System Preferences>iCloud on my Mac I have the Mail & Notes option selected. It sat at Starting... for 30 minutes or so before I closed System Prefs. When I re-opened System Prefs to check, it no longer said 'Starting...' and was still checked so I assumed it was working. If I uncheck and re-check it stays on 'Starting...' again.

    You have to respond to a verification email sent from Apple by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
