HT4623 iPad is locked; problem with iCloud

my iPad is locked up, showing only the message iCloud Backup is unable to access my account. I can't shut it down or go to Settings. What to do?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

If you are unable to cancel or power down, try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

My iPad is locked up with iCloud message

iCloud message. Backup. Will not unlock iPad. Message says iPad has not been backed up for 3 weeks. Message stays on all the time and will not let me enter?

Try this now.
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.

Punctuation would make your post a little easier to read and understand.
What do you mean it won't hook up to iTunes? you mean iTunes does not recognize the device? If that's what you mean, one of these might be helpful.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

TS3274 iPad is locked up with an iCloud message saying this iPad has not been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi. Can't get around this message.

Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

Sync problems with iCloud + Exchange

Since 3-4 weeks the email/calendar synchronization with my iPhone's (3GS and 4S) and iPad 2 is nor working properly any more,
I have in parallel installed an iCloud account for private and an Exchange account for business use.
Only if I turn the iPhones/iPad off and on it syncs for one time. After that the email app always shows the turning wheel and "Receiving emails" and does nothing more at all.
As soon as I delete my iCloud account on the iPhone's/iPad the Exchange account works perfect again without any problems. As soon as I reinstall iCloud all email/calendar sync for Exchange and iCloud is dead again.
So there must be a problem with the iCloud sync which also affects the Exchange sync.
As long as I used my Exchange account together with Gmail I had no problems at all.
Hopefully Apple fixes this problem with iCloud within the next days otherwise I have to go to Google back again.
Any people out there with the same problem?

I have boiled the problem down to just the icloud contacts. If I leave them off everything is fine when I turn them on my exchange accounts will not update.

My ipad is locked up with the screen showing the usb port connecting to itunes. I had not synched by ipad to my computer in a long time so yesterday it was downloading software upgrades for 5 hours. then the screen was locked up.

My ipad is locked up with the screen showing a picture of the usb port with an arrow to itunes.

Then connect your iPad to your computer and use iTunes to restore.

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

TS3899 I HAVE IPAD AIR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH EMAIL DELETING AFTER A SHORT TIME WITHOUT COMMAND CAN YOU HELP

Q. I have an IPAD air having problems with my email deleting after a short while without command.

I've had issues like this before.
I ended up having to call my provide to reset the connection, which worked for a while, then quit. i then took it into my provider for a new sim card and had the connection re-established again. I haven't had issues since.
hopefully for you resetting the connection with your provider will do the trick and a new SIM card wont be nessesary.

Problems with iCloud Calendar OS 10.8

Problems with iCloud Calendar OS 10.8
I would like to warn users of a couple of problems I have encountered recently with Calendar. I have been in touch with Apple phone support about this and after 3-4 hours on the phone they have arranged to call back tomorrow. A colleague informed me yesterday he has experienced exactly the same problem as described in point 1. below. Looks like a software glitch – I hope it can be fixed quickly.
1. Deletion of single entry in a repeated event results in loss of display of all related events in iCloud Calendar but not on devices
Deletion of a single entry from a repeating event (after correctly selecting to delete only the single event and not to delete all future events) results in failure to display all of the related events in iCloud but with retention of the related events on devices such as iPhone and iCal on a computer.
There have been occasions, very briefly, that the events so affected display correctly on iCloud, only to disappear from the screen within about a second of opening the page in Calendar.
Deletion of the relevant account in iCal (on the computer) and its subsequent reinstallation results in correct display of the calendar in iCal, but persisting failure to display the calendar entries correctly in iCloud. This appears to ONLY effect repeated entries in which one of the repeated entries has been subsequently deleted after the creation of the repeating event. Single entries, or repeated entries that have not been modified, do not appear to be affected.
This problem is consistently occurring regardless of whether the repeated entry is set to end “never”, “after number of times” or “on date”.
My conclusion is, there is a problem with the display of the repeated events in iCloud (?an HTML coding issue) but that the events are being correctly saved in the calendar database.
2. Random dropout in “repeat” function for new events and/or “repeat” function in edit of existing event
In the course of investigating problem 1, I have discovered that the pop-up menu in iCloud Calendar that allows new events to be created or old events to be edited apparently randomly has the repeat event function missing in the pop up menu – making it impossible to create a repeating event from a new entry or to edit an existing event for the repeat function. All other functions appear to be preserved in the affected pop-up.
This problem is also apparent in iCal – i.e., it is not restricted to the web version of Calendar. I have not had the time or the energy to investigate this in detail. At first glance, it is a random error.
Solution: Apple needs to debug this software

Thank you paulfromstpeters !
I have the same problem!
I don't remember what I exactly did, but after some changes on a repeted event (I think I deleted some recurrens), it doesn't appear anymore on the iCloud and on the iPod (but correctly on the MacBook).
