HT204053 i frequently have a very hard time logging into Icloud.  is this normal?

i frequently have a hard time logging into Icloud. ID and password have not changed but getting past log on screen is a challange. Any suggestions?

Issues when accessing iCloud.com from a Windows PC and logging in (sporadic problem), using Contacts, Calendar, Notes, etc., or sending error reports when errors occur seems to be a common problem.
My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64 bit and the 64-bit version can't be the default browser in IE9. Norton Internet Security’s “Browser Protection” is what caused my iCloud.com issues when using IE9 32-bit.
Also, I just updated to IE10 on my Windows 7 Pro computer. Unlike IE9, IE10 seems to work well with iCloud.com, but IE10 does have a few issues in general. So, as mentioned, I’d use Safari as my dedicated interface to iCloud until all Windows and Internet Explorer issues are resolved.

  • Having a hard time logging into Lion at my office

    Hi folks,
    I need some help here...
    When I used to use Snow Leopard at work, I used to have a hard time logging into my iMac as a network user. If I logged in as an admin, the problem would go away. Knowing this, I made gave my network account admin privledges and all log-in issues for my account were solved.
    Now I use Lion...
    My user account still has me as admin, but , once again, am having issues logging into the iMac. A small flag is displayed next to where I would enter my user name, saying that network is unavailable. I cannot enter my name or password. I can move my mouse, but I cannot type. I thought the error was with the wireless keyboard, so I tethered one and still had the same issue.
    Powering down, unplugging, replugging, and prayer (haha) seem to be the fix, but I have to repeat this process three or four times in order to log in.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is? Is anyone else having this issue at their place of business? I don't have these issues at home on my Lion installed Mac.

    Thanks for responding!
    The firewall is off, under my security settings.
    As for built in security from my office network, I do not know.

  • My iPad was logging me out so I have reset it - I cannot log into iCloud now and also my login for app updates defaults to an incorrect email address can anyone suggest how to re configure

    My iPad was logging me out so I have reset it - it retained all apps but I cannot now log into iCloud and when downloading apps it defaults to the wrong email details so the iPad doesn't recognise it to update - can anyone suggest how to resolve this

    Have you attempted to access your Apple ID through iforgot.apple.com ?
    If you have access to the internet, you should be able to go through the process of resetting your Apple ID password via security questions or email.
    Assuming that you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and the iTunes/App Stores, resetting your password may help you log back into iCloud and the iTunes/App Stores.

  • Anyone else having a hard time logging into synch accts?

    Okay so for a few weeks now, im unable to use mobile to log into walmart and amazon accts. it always says the network connection is lost, even though no other pages have that problem, wifi or 3g is strong. Happens on both. And when i go through desktop, it always says:
    We're Sorry.
    Our system is having technical difficulty retrieving your information. Please try again later.
    I have to do it like 3-4 times before it finally works. Annoying to say the least. I figured it was technical difficulties and would be fine in a week or two, but its still happening.

    It happens =/  Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling will fix it. I didnt have it happen with my synch cards but it happen with my Chase and Discover, one fixed with a reinstall, the other fixed with the next update. (After a few weeks)

  • HT5625 I reset my password, but it still won't let me log into iCloud.  I have not ever been able to sign up for it, I don't have the original email to do so.  Please help.

    I have not been able to log into icloud, nor set it up.  It keeps telling me to check my email to set up.  There is nothing from apple/icloud there.  How do I get another email so I can set it up?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Please check your inbox again and also the spam/junk folder.

  • Why do I have such a hard time when I connect to facebook games it doesn't want to start the game it sending me a message about apps...what does that mean?

    why do I have such a hard time when I connect to facebook games... firefox doesn't want to open the game the message is sending that their something with the apps..what does that mean?....what is plugin...what do I do for that?

    The usual explanation is that it is a licensing issue. It's not Apple refusing to support an MS product (they support loads of others, like QuickLook for Office docs). MS won't let Apple have it. (The Linux-based solutions are third-party reverse engineered.)
    That having been said, I've never had a problem plugging an NTFS drive and reading files from it. Why does it take you an hour?
    I've never had a problem with a Mac-formatted USB thumb drive not writing either. It's possible that the hardware/software that Apple uses is more sensitive to cheaper thumb drives, but I'm guessing here.

  • HT204053 How do I log into iCloud to see what I have stored on it and how do I change my password if I forgot it?

    When I first got my iPad mini for Christmas I didn't think that I set up an iCloud account. When I go to iCloud in my settings it says that I have stuff in an iCloud account. How do I find out if I have an iCloud account and how would I get a new password or reset the password. Also, how do log into log into iCloud to see what I have in storage. Thanks.... if you need to contact me about this matter. I have an iPad mini.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You aren't addressing Apple here.  This is a user forum and you shouldn't post personal information here such as your email address.  I've asked the host to remove it.
    As for your question, go to Settings>iCloud and write down the email address shown next to "Account".  That's your iCloud ID.  Then, if you can't remember the password for the ID, go here to reset it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36.  Once you have the new password, you can go to icloud.com from your computer and sign into to see some of the data you are syncing with iCloud.  If you are syncing your iPad with iCloud, this data is on your iPad too.  You are syncing the data that you have set to On in Settings>iCloud.

  • HT204053 Can I log into iCloud with an alias email?

    Noob here, did a search and couldn't seem to find an answer. (or I didnt look hard enough. ) So aplogies if these have already been asked before.
    I want to change my iCloud email address, but I've searched around here and read that you can't change it once you create it and link it to your apple ID. So, I created an alias and was wondering if you could log into iCloud with an alias email?
    For example if my iCloud address is [email protected] and my alias was [email protected], could I go to icloud.com and login using [email protected]?
    Also, what are the proper steps to get the alias email to behave like the icloud primary email;I stupidly chose a dumb icloud email address and regret it, and if I set the alias to be the only email to be able to send mail in my iphone and macbook, can I basically ignore the primary icloud email and use the alias the whole time to send and compose mail?
    Also, I don't necessarily need to know/use the primary icloud email, since I use my apple ID to log into icloud.com?
    From what I understand, the primary icloud that is linked to your apple ID is mail server, right? I'm not really sure, to be honest.
    Thanks!

    In the Mail application on your Mac, add the aliases, separated by commas, to the 'Email address' field in Preferences>Accounts>General. They will then appear in the drop-down menu for the 'From' address in the New message pane.
    They already appear in the equivalent place in the new message pane at icloud.com.
