ICloud backup not working - option greyed out

My iPad air happily used to backup overnight via wifi when I would leave it charging.
However this stopped happening a couple of months ago, without any intervention from me...
Now the 'icloud backup' option in Settings/iCloud/Backup is set to off, but is greyed out i.e. I can't turn it back on again
I seemingly have plenty of space as have upgraded to 20Gb of storage, partially in the hope it would sort this problem out.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

OK.
So i guess there was no other way to solve this problem.
Anyway I have restored the device yesterday, its succeed

When OpenGL stopped working (option greyed out)

I discovered a weird bug in Photoshop 12.1 x64 with nVidia graphic cards and what´s causing it:
Problem (on all off my PCs): OpenGL support in prefs / performance is greyed out, no shadow below open documents visible ( == OpenGL not working). After deleting prefs.psp and restarting (as the www says), OpenGL support was working again, on next restart: no support - option greyed out again.
Solution: if deleting the prefs file or the whole prefs folder don´t work, check if you have a custom workspace with the brush floating panel open.
If so, close it and remvoe it from workspace, restart PS and.... OpenGL support is working again!
I could reproduce this bug on all of my PCs, no matter what type of GFXcard and driver version is installed.
Maybe that bug occurs only with Win7 x64, PS 12.1 x64 and nVidia cards, but removing the brush panel solved it on every machine!!
I´ve opened a support ticket and provided Adobe with screenshots of the working and not-working states... maybe they can fix this with an update!
This are my system specs for the tested machines:
workstation 1:
Intel i7 980X HexaCore (with SMT)
ASUSP6T7 WS Supercomputer
6 x 4GB DDR3 triple channel
nVidia Quadro CX
3x WD SATAII HDDs
dual monitor
Wacom Intuos4 XL
3Dconnexion SpaceExplorer
contour Shuttle Pro2
workstation 2:
Intel i7 975 Extreme Quadcore (with SMT)
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
6 x 2 GB DDR3 triple channel
nVidia GTX 580
2x WD SATA HDD
both systems running on:
Windows 7 x64
Mastercollection CS5.5
latest updates for OS, CS5.5 and GFX drivers...
Maybe this threat helps .... ;-)

I did heavy testing the last days including systems at my home and at a friends office.
In fact, I can´t tell, what´s causing this, but it seems to depent on a certain type of installation. But first the tested systems:
nVidia GTX480 SLI, Win 7 x64, CS5.5 - working
nVidia GTX580 Win7, CS5 - working
ATI HD4870x2, Win7 x64, CS5 - working
nVidia GTX580, Win 7 x64, CS5.5 (update from CS4 ->CS5 -> CS5.5) - not working
nVidia GT240M, Win7 x64, CS5.5 - working
ATI X1900XT - XP SP3 x64, CS5 - working
nVidia QuadroCX, Win 7 x64, CS5.5 (update from CS4 ->CS5 -> CS5.5) - not working
ATI HD4390, XP x64 SP3, CS5.5 (update from CS4 ->CS5 -> CS5.5) - not working
nVidia GTX480, Win 7 x64, CS5.5 - working
On each system I installed the latest driver & updates, rebooted it and followed the same procedure:
1 - removed (==renamed) prefs folder
2 - start PS
3 - open prefs / performace
4 - config OpenGL for "Advanced"
5 - closing prefs and restarting PS
6 - checking OpenGL when active: pt7
7 - Open menu "Window" and and select "Brush" (or press F5)
8 - docking Brush-panel from original position to the tools-panel on the left
9 - saving workspace as "BrushTest"
10 - restarting PS
11 checking OpenGL
Since you have all older Versions still installed when you update i.e from CS4 to CS5 I tried this with every installed version.
On my two office WS I have CS4, 5 and 5.5.
After trying this with the GTX580 with this results: CS4 working, CS5 working, CS5.5 not working - I today started PS 12.1 for working and saw that tiny shadow below the document - WITH the brush panel open!!
Checked it and now its working proper. I have no clue what has changed over night but it did it...
My primary WS with the Quadro card still refuses to actived OpenGL with the opend brush-panel, no matter what I try.... maybe I gonna deinstall that CS4 to 5.5 mess and get me another license for the full CS5.5 instead of the update from the update...

ICloud backup not working

I ran the backup last night...it still shows that the latest backup was in December 2012. I have enough storage left. Any ideas?

If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

Icloud backup not working..despite "plugged in with WiFi and screen locked...

iphone 4 with iOS7. Despite being plugged in and on WiFi and "locked" it's up to seven weeks now that I keep getting message that it hasn't been backed up. Is there some special "lock" that I don't get? Didn't the old lock switch on upper left change at some time. Do I have to use this?
Thanks

Maybe you don't have your settings set up correctly. For more information on the topic, I've provided a link that might help you out.

Sound not working all greyed out

Hi, recently the sound stopped working on the family Imac. when using volume toggles the speaker icon is all greyed out and there is a kindof cancel icom below the volume level bar. also there are no devices listed in the sound output tab. tried reloading mountain lion, to no avail and ive read some discusions on the apple forums. also check the headphone jack and there is NO red light.

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

HT4859 icloud backup not working

I just got a 4S and have backed up my iPhone 4 today prior to swapping the Sim.
When I go to restore via icloud on the 4S it initially only brought up a back up from January and now says it cannot find any backup's?
Any ideas?

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.

IPhone iCloud Backup not working anymore

Since April 9, 2012 my iPhone does not backup to iCloud anymore (not automatically nor manually). When I click "Backup Now", it just says "Backing Up... Estimating time remaining..." and it stays like that forever. The progress bar does not move at all. I have plenty of space left for backup, so that should not be the problem. Anybody having the same problem? Any solutions/suggestions you may have are welcome. Thanks!

After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

ICloud backup not working plus unable to delete old backup

I recently upgraded from an iphone 5 to the iphone 6. Before making the move I want to backup my iphone 5. It hasn't been backed up to the iCloud for several months (due to a lack of storage space) so I purchased more space. However, when trying to back it up, I'm met with the message "Backing up... Estimating time remaining" for a while and then this message disappears and it says that the backup was not completed. Might be worth noting that I haven't updated my iphone 5's system to iOs 8, could this be the issue?
I have tried to delete my previous backups to see if this helps but the message "cannot delete, backup in use" message appears. Extremely frustrating! It's been 2 days since I got my iphone 6 and I have not started using it. Any tips?

Nevermind, looks like I was able to delete it off of my phone instead

App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9 using a proxy server

App store, Safari, software updates, icloud, do not work in Mavericks 10.9. these problems are interrelated I am sure. Apple apps were working fine in 10.8.5 I could do software updates through a proxy server using password authentication. I reinstalled a new system 10.9 on another partition and it won't let me use Safari or update software using a proxy server. Firefox works fine (I am using it to post). I am very disappointed that this wasn not fully tested BEFORE releasing Mavericks. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I had this problem myself.
Checked the system log with Console, and I found the entry:-
Nov 11 11:16:41 teds-new-mac.ad.mycompany.co.uk ocspd[537]: Authentication challenge received for "10.203.39.212:8080", unable to obtain proxy server credential from System keychain.
For some unknown reason, Mavericks seems to be looking in the System keychain, when these credentials are actually held in the Login keychain.
So, I tried "Copy & Paste" - copying the https user name & password from the Login keychain and pasting into the System keychain, which worked but it's not quite as straightforward as I initially thought.
Pasting into the System Keychain was, I found a not-very-intuitive process:
Having opened your Login Keychain, click once on the item to be copied and when it's highlighted, select "Copy" from the Edit menu or, of course, cmd+c.
Select the System Keychain:- DO NOT CLICK THE PADLOCK IN THE TOP LEFT TO UNLOCK IT.
From the Edit menu, select "Paste" or cmd+v.
You will then get a dialogue box,, enter your administrator's password and select "Modify Keychain" or just hit return, as it's the default entry.
I found a restart was in order before it recognised everything and would accept https pages without alert boxes, but YMMV.
Funnily enough - and this is where it seems counter-intuitive, if you do click on the padlock and unlock the System Keychain, "Paste" is greyed out in the Edit menu and cmd+v has no effect.
Exactly the opposite to what I'd expect..

Backup not working for File Server

We have System Center 2012 Sp1 installed with Agent Version : 4.1.3453.0
We are protecting File Server which is member in DFS. We have Volume of More than 2TB and which is spanned accross multiple VHDs.
I am facing problem with Backup not working and DPMRA service is getting stopped unexpectedly. When i try to create recovery point manually i don't get option to syncrhonize the changes. 1st and 3rd option is geryed out.
I am getting Error on DPM as Affected area:   E:\
Description:   The replica of Volume E:\ on<ServerName> is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check. You can recover data
from existing recovery points, but new recovery points cannot be created until the replica is consistent.
For SharePoint farm, recovery points will continue getting created with the databases that are consistent. To backup inconsistent databases, run a consistency check on the farm. (ID 3106)
   DPM failed to communicate with the protection agent on <Server> because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)
   More information
Recommended action:   1) Check recent records from the DPMRA source in the Application Event Log on FUSE.win2k.internal to find out why the agent failed to respond.
2) Make sure that the DPM server is remotely accessible from <Server>
3) If a firewall is enabled on the DPM server, make sure that it is not blocking requests from <Server>
4) Restart the DPM Protection Agent service on <Server>. If the service fails to start, re-install the protection agent.
   Synchronize with consistency check.
   Run a synchronization job with consistency check...
Resolution:   To dismiss the alert, click below
   Inactivate
I have Re-installed Agent but it is not helping.
I have Other Volume labeled as F: and sized at 600 GB. Backup of that Volume is working fine for Same server.
Please Suggest how to troubleshoot.
Thanks in Advance.

HI Chris,
Sharing files using Bluetooth
To share files using Bluetooth, you first need to make sure Bluetooth is turned on, and then use Bluetooth File Exchange to send a file.
To turn on Bluetooth:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
Select the On checkbox. To allow other Bluetooth enabled devices to “discover” your computer and send files, also select the Discoverable checkbox.
Select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar” so you can quickly send files and perform other actions using the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
To send files using Bluetooth:
Choose Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
If the Bluetooth menu isn’t visible, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar.”
In the window that appears, select the file you want to send and click Send.
Select the device you want to send the file to and click Send.
If you don’t see the device you want to send the file to, make sure the device has Bluetooth turned on and is discoverable.
You do not need File Sharing turned on for Bluetooth technology.
Another way to share files between two Macs is How to use Firewire Target Disk Mode

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong v

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

Select option greyed out for fields of custom DataSource (rso2, rsa6)

Hi
Why are several fields, in my custom DataSource (created in rso2) not available for select?
I do not think this is a permission issue, since several fields are selectable, but not all fields.
It is not the data type, since I see other custom DataSources that have the same data type, and it is selectable as a select option.
This is not a DataSource that was provided by SAP, it is completely custom, and uses a custom data definition (defined as a structure via se11), and a custom function.
I have read the responses to similar questions, but have not found an answer that explains how to make the field selectable for select.
What determines which fields can be selected for selection, and which fields have this option greyed out (not selectable)?
I have come across multiple answers, for similar questions, that suggest an abap program to directly update table roosfield.
Is this safe?
IF I choose this route will I need to run the update program on production, or will the change it makes to my dataSource transport with my transport?
(I can test this).
What I most need to know is If this suggestion is safe, or if it has side effects?
Thank you

Hi Eileen,
In Least case to enable the selection for the fields with the below program:
Below code is for your reference which will use to unhide objects in RSO2 or RSA6 for Data source( in code for BELNR, KUNNR, VBELN, BUDAT fields are unhiding for 0fi_ar_4 data source selection option) . Still need any clarifications let me know.
SE38: Create a program for ref below code.
REPORT ZNP_SELE_DS.
tables: ROOSFIELD.
UPDATE ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'P'
WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_AR_4' AND OBJVERS = 'A' AND FIELD = 'BELNR'.
UPDATE ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'P'
WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_AR_4' AND OBJVERS = 'A' AND FIELD = 'KUNNR'.
UPDATE ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'P'
WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_AR_4' AND OBJVERS = 'A' AND FIELD = 'VBELN'.
UPDATE ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'P'
WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_AR_4' AND OBJVERS = 'A' AND FIELD = 'BUDAT'.
Thanks & Regards,

Icloud is not working on my mac

Hi, Im having problems with my icloud - my mac will not play the music I have uploaded. This is the first time it has happened, and I have used icloud for months (maybe a year now). Any help ?

Same here in the UK. I have no access to my music in iCloud from iMac, MacbookPro, iPhone5 and iPad(3).
All OS's are up to date. I can access iTunes and download new music from there.
iCloud Backup is working on the iPhone but much slower than usual.

Icloud is not working on my macbook pro

icloud is not working on my macbook pro and works on both my ipad and my iphone. Not sure why this is, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Yes it has been turned on in system preferences. I've even signed out & signed back in to trouble shoot & the problem still exists. The problem is — while browsing in Safari, I'll hit the iCloud tab on my MacBook Pro & it will be blank, showing nothing opened on the other devices. Then I'll check the other device sitting next to me & they have web pages opened & their iCloud works. Not sure what is wrong, prob need to call Apple...
