I can't open iCloud on my iPad

My calendars won't sync over iCloud and email comes with a message "can't retrieve messages from icloud." When I go to settings to open up iCloud, the iCloud image is there but I cant click on it. It isnt highlighted like th others either, just dim and non-accessible. if I open up calendars and messages from the settings, the iCloud options are there at the top but again I can't click or access them. Please help!

It sounds as though you have a restriction set up.
To check go to Settings>General>Restrictions and then under "allow changes" make sure "accounts" is set to allow. This should enable you to select iCloud from the settings menu.

  • Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

    For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
    Please help.

    It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

  • Can't open iCloud docs on iPad or iPhone

    Since installing IOS 7 I am unable to open Pages or Numbers docs on iPad or iPhone. Very frustrating. I understand others are having same problem and we may need to wait for Apple to put out a fix. Is this accurate?

    No problems here, nor have I seen anymore reports of failed syncs than usual.

    Yes, you need to install the iCloud control panel and enable Photo Stream on your PC.

    On your iPad go to Settings>iCloud and enable Photo Stream.

  • My Apple ID is valid but can't open icloud account how do i proceed?

    My "Apple ID is valid but can't open icloud account" is the message I receive when I try to sign in to icloud so how do i proceed?  I want to install to my ipad and iphone Apple's locator service in my systems, I have a PC for work reasons where I do my apple safari and Itunes and now installed icloud but I don't recall having an icloud account.  I guess I do have an accout but how do I not confuse it with my current Apple Id account as I retrieve or create a new icould account?  Thanks.

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing account on a PC.  You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

    OS X

    Looking for feedback, thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Open System Preferences > iCloud, and check if "Documents & Data" is turned on. If not, turn on that option. Also, open  > Software Update and install the most recent iWork version

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

  • Can not open app store in iPad 3

    why I can not open app store in iPad 3

    IF you get app update notifications, are you able to use the App Store from the Updates Tab? Try closing the App Store and reset your iPad. You will not lose any data.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. 
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad

    Can't open downloaded ibooks on iPad Brooks i was reading some days ago.

    You can't - ibooks from Apple can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple haven't so far made a Mac or PC reader for them
    If you don't have one of those iOS devices, then though all purchases are considered final, you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    iPad do not support flash natively.
    Look in the app store, some browsers do support flash with limited functionality.

  • I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

    I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

    You can't open it meaning it does not launch when you tap on the app icon? If that's what's happening try this and then see if Safari will launch.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Now close Safari. To close Safari, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail app to close it.
    Now reboot the iPad. 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.
    If Safari does launch and this isn't what you are experiencing - you need to explain in more detail what is going on.

  • Can't open Adobe documents on iPad 3

    Can't open Adobe documents on iPad 3 with Adobe app

    Here is web site where I had the problem.
    http://hosted.rightprospectus.com/IvyFunds/Fund.aspx?dt=AR&cu=8911&ss=IF
    Since then I received another such email with a pdf extension and it worked!
    I got this reply from Adobe on my problem with the above link.
    "Thanks John,
    I looked at your screenshots, and it appears that the issue you are seeing is that the website you are trying to get the documents from is not compatible with the iPad. Unfortunately, many websites have still not yet updated to work with the new mobile systems, but since tablet sales are increasing rapidly, and should overtake laptops in the next 3 years, that will change.
    The website seems to be using an HTML feature called “Object Embedding” which only works on desktop computers. The website seems to also be presenting a dialog to the user letting them know that to view the embedded PDF they need to install Adobe Reader, and forwards the user to our standard Adobe Reader download page.
    The net is that I don’t know how to make this work for you, unless you can find a way to make that website give you a link to just download the PDF directly.

  • In settings can't open iCloud or internet accounts. Get message that preference pane can be opened.

    Since upgrading to Maverick it can't open iCloud or internet accounts in settings. Get a message the the preference pane won't open.

    Same here.
    This was a big problem when switching from 10.7 to 10.8 and now it seems te be back, bigger than ever when going to 10.9.
    All icloud related programs are effected: ical, icloud, adressbook, mail.
    Systemprefereces goes easily to 100% cpu load and things like com.apple.icloud or com.apple.internetaccounts turn not responding.
    At this moment it does not crash on my imac 2012. It still crashes om the imac 2009 and macbook 2009.
    Someone mentioned to use keychain repair but that must be done in English mode!. It crashed in dutch mode.
    I have not found a overall solution yet.
    Will keep on looking or go back to good old 10.8.5.
