HT4436 iCloud problem

I could not get my email to work On My Mac (I can send mail there out and I can get on iCloud.com and use my email).
I can not get on my System Preferences iCloud account.
There is a yellow delta exclamation point sign on "Back To My Mac" and it says Couldn't start BAck to My Mac.
I have disabled this function as per instruction and restarted etc.
BUT I still can not get into System Preferences iCloud account.
This is a problem I wish to fix ASAP.
I use an iPad and AppleTV and I do not have any problems with them except I can not use Photo Stream now.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If the Apple ID isn't yours you should delete everything since it doesn't belong to you. However you will need the previous owners details to do this.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices. However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.

I have an iphone 5 and ipad 3 - I went to the Apple store and tech unable to sync them. Suggested it was an icloud problem and needed to go online to get it solved, but first to back up phone. I have done this now. Help please.

I have an iphone 5 and and ipad3 which I wish to sync.
I went to Apple store and tech unable to do this - wasn't happening and said there was an icloud problem and to go on line to find out, as they didn't do icloud issues in the store.
I've backed up my phone in the meantime.
I want to be able to read my kindle books and access contacts between these items.
Another question, I brought more icloud storage, but iphone is not saving to icloud as well.phone will not back up as says not enough storage - keh?
Appreciate any assistance on these two things.
I have another appointment with Apple store end of this week.
Last time they also said I may need to have my iphone replaced - this would then be my thrid iphone in 4 months! First iphone the camera didn't work (lucky I found out on second day and automaticallly replaced).
This iphone is doing black screens, will not ring (despite techy trying to get phone to ring - YET the alarm works fine to wake me up). Phone vibrates but won't ring, even though set to ring.
Appreciate any help with icloud issue mainly.
I think I'm feeling a bit fatalistic I will end up with yet another replacement phone.
I am very disappointed as this is m first introduction to the iphone - not going well so far.
ipad 3 is great. Love it.

Icloud problem. It is associated with icloud on my old email address. How can I access this?

Icloud problem. The icloud address is my previous email and I can't access this and it won't recognise my date of birth so can't sign in.

Is apple covering up iCloud problems 4/4/12?

Is apple covering up iCloud problems with mail and passwords?

It's been a mess for me since Tuesday, late morning. And, as the initial posted question suggests, YES, I DO think Apple is staying quiet on this. I think it's far more serious than any of us think. Otherwise, why wouldn't Apple be more communicative? And, they're saying it's affecting less than 1% of users. That's not MY reaction to the furer happening under the surface. I'm just so frustrated that none of the Apple news site are addressing it. I mean, could they NOT know?! Hard to believe. MacWorld. MacRumor... none of 'em are saying a thing.

HT4436 icloud sign in problem

when I try to sign in to icloud through Preferences, i keep getting a message that says, "You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again." Besides being contradictory and making no sense, I know I am using the correct id and password. Anyone know what to do? txs

Hello siltaram,
Thank you for the question. You can establish your Apple ID as an iCloud account on an iOS device with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion or later:
How do I sign up for iCloud?
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.

HT4436 icloud setup problems

help. am trying to setup icloud. my husband's email address and password are on our home desktop mac and itunes. i want to sync my iphone, our home mac desktop and mac air to my icloud. i don't have an itunes account. I use my husband's itunes account for my music. how can i set up my own cloud to include a shared home desktop mac without using husband's email address?

Then just create an iCloud account for you (iOS: Settings > iCloud, Mac System Preferences > iCloud) and set it up on the different devices. You could still use your husband's Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases (e.g. set it up on your iOS device in Settings > iTunes & App Stores)

ICloud Problems after updating to 10.10.2

Hi,
I updated to 10.10.2 yesterday on my Macbook Pro Mid 2010.
Since I updated my icloud and related Programs are not working any more.
Pages and Numbers hang up on start.
If i open the preferences and go to icloud and try to disable icloud drive. the preference pane freezes.
does any one have similiar problems or a solution for this problem in mind?
best regards,
Max
P.s. why is apple producing more and more problems with there software nowadays?!?
I remember a time back than when my mac simple worked.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

How to set up Icloud, problem with email address

Hi
I have had my Iphone 4S for a few months but never used Icloud. I'm trying to set it up but can't figure out how to change the Apple ID - my apple ID is my yahoo email address. Don't I need to use the icloud address to back up? If so, how do I change it. When I click on Icloud it says "account" and there is my [email protected] address. I set up a new Icloud mail account but it's still not showing as the default.
I admit I'm a new Apple user and the whole Icloud thing confuses me. I would like to keep my phone backed up somewhere and it seems like the Icloud would do it. Can anyone explain in baby steps exactly what I need to do?
Thank you!
Laurianne

Hey mexigrl64,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, and great question!
The @icloud.com email address is only required if you want to use iCloud Mail & Notes. You can still use your Apple ID (in your case, the @yahoo.com address) for iCloud Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Find my iPhone, Backup, etc. In short, you can use all of these functions without creating the @icloud.com address.
From the information you provided, and if backups are your only concern, then it sounds like you are good to go! There is no need to configure your iCloud settings to reflect the @icloud.com address, as this is just another email account that others can reach you at.
For more information on the @icloud.com address:

Icloud problem

Hello,
How can i reset my icloud account or bypass activation if i forgot my password and from 3 secret questions i remember only 1 answer. Also i've purchase iphone from the country which is not listed in official support page on Apple, but i've all the bills and guarantee paper from the non-official shop. Also, during the registration of icloud account i've used my wife e-mail and she forget to verify account, so now i'm in situation which i can call circuit. when i press resset though the email address Apple is sending this reset e-mail to the icloud account which i can't access, i've called several times to support and waited for several weeks to get the answer, and the final answer was " we can't help you with your problem". So, may be someone can help me with his issue ? Because i can't use my phone, and i bought SIM-FREE phone for 800 USD which i can't use, that's pity and sad, and making me mad as a apple user. Because i also tried to explain to Apple that it's their bug, if guy didn't verify the e-mail address than he should not be allowed to use icloud service.
Does anyone has any suggestions ? |
Thanks in advance.

Backing up iPad to iCloud problem

I can't back up my iPad to the iCloud. Plenty of capacity. It just stops after a few second. What could be wrong?

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your phone that is preventing the backup. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
It may also be caused by network connectivity to the iCloud server. Solutions to that include power-cycling your wireless router (unplugging it for 15 seconds, then plugging it back in), resetting network settings on your phone (in Settings>General>Reset), updating the firmware on your router, and changing the router's DNS settings to use Google's public DNS (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).

IOS 6 Icloud problem

Since uploading IOS 6 I have not been able to access icloud or itunes match on my iphone4...any help much appreciated!

Hallo Shadowrap411,
ich habe das gleiche Problem. Habe Bilder über die iCloud Systemsteuerung auf meinem Windows7 Notebook hochgeladen, allerdings bekomme ich Sie nicht auf mein iPhone 4S unter iOS 6.
Um zu überprüfen ob der Upload überhaupt funktioniert hat habe ich versucht den Fotostream über mein Apple TV (2. Gen, iOS 5.1) zu synchronisieren - und da funktioniert es einwandfrei. Es scheint also ein Bug in iOS 6 zu sein würde ich behaupten.
Ich habe hierfür leider noch keine Lösung gefunden, sobald sich was ergeben sollte werde ich es direkt hier posten :-(
Viele Grüße,
Aleks
PS: das in anderen Threads beschriebene Deaktivieren/Aktivieren des Fotostreams habe ich schon unzählige Male probiert, schafft aber auch keine Abhilfe.

ICloud problem since IOS 6

Hi has anybody else had problems trying to back up to iCloud since updating to IOS6? Every time I turn on my phone from standby it keeps asking for my password details which I then input. This happens about 4 times then stops. I still cannot backup so I tried to log out and in but now cannot log into iCloud. iTunes Store and apps are working no problem so this is baffling? Any ideas?

thank you !
