ICloud Country Settings do not propagate toiPad Air 2.

I recently moved from the US to Costa Rica. In the iCloud settings on my desktop PC, I changed my country settings accordingly.. I also changed the setting in Contacts. I selected the option to format the phone numbers automatically to reflect the way they display in Costa Rica.
The phone numbers show correctly XXXX-XXXX on the computer, and the iPhone, but on the iPad, they show (XXX)-XXX-XX
Any ideas or suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.

My iphone is backing up to icloud but not my macbook air nor my iMac. Any ideas?

My iphone is backing up to icloud but not my macbook air nor my iMac. Any ideas?

I use Time Machine with an external HD. That seems to do what I need. Others also recommend an second EHD with a bootable clone of your boot drive and use a 3rd party app like Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, Synk Pro, etc. to keep the clone up to date.
In addition to Time Machine I have a hard drive that I keep key files backed up with Synk Pro which does incremental backups, i.e. copying only those new or modified files. For other candidates for the cloning and backup apps to go MacUpdate.com and search for "file backup" and "clone".

No, nothing you can do to track it if you did not take any measures before the loss.

Does anyone know how to turn of the pop-up iCloud log-in window on iPhone. I have no desire to use iCloud. I have turned off iCloud in settings but the pesky little critter is not deterred.

Does anyone know how to turn off the pop-up iCloud log-in window on iPhone 5c. I have no desire to use iCloud. I have turned off iCloud in settings but that does not seem to deter the pesky little pop-up from continually asking me to log-in
Thanks

Pop up usually meant that icloud activation lock is still on on Apple servers. In order to deactivate you need to turn icloud back on by signing in and then sign out properly. For your sake I hope that you know the password.

ICloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

ICloud symbol in settings does not appear, instead there is the one for MobileMe, what do I have to do or didn't do well?

If your Mac is one year old it did not come with Lion, so you must have purchased and installed it yourself, or it is not installed.
Do this
Go to Apple Menu>About This Mac:
It should look like this:
If your version is anything other than 10.7.xx you do not have Lion (10.6 is Snow Leopard)

Not a happy Apps Store customer - changing country settings

I got the following problem and raised it a few times with NO reply from Apple which is very dissapointing and reflection of surprisingly poor customer service from Apple (with the exception of the customer service here in HK who came back to me quickly. But they could not sort it out for me).
This year I moved from Australia to Hong Kong and changed without being aware of the consequences the store settings in itunes/apps Store.
Unfortuntately I got a few apple devices: 2 MBAs, ipad2, ipad, iphone which where purchased in Australia and in Hong Kong. One consequence of switching the country settings is that on all my devices the apps are not in sync and that I lost all my Australian apps. Its a complete chaos with my apps on different devices and I really regret that I spent money on the app store and now got an issue on how to sort out this mess.
I read the T&G's and I'm aware of the country specific licences agreement but somehow apple should be able to help their customers in sorting out these constraints due to different laws in different countries. I don't believe one should be a lawyer to buy an app on the app store and to understand the legal implications when buying an app. It's not really the problem of the end consumer who buys legally the licence for an app and then moves country and suddenly doesn't have access to the purchased app anymore. The end-consumer already paid the licence for the app.
But Apple makes this a big problem for the end consumer of and I'm worried what to do with my apple devices and my apps. The problem is that we currently got ipad for work so I need to get some apps from the store for my work.
And I'm really ****** off because its now my problem and of the mess on my devices which all got different versions of the apps. My idea was to have all my devices synced so if I loose one device I could easily get a new one and sync it with itunes/app store/cloud as the single source of the truth.
As a conclusion of above I'm now a very critical user of Mac/Apple Products and I make people, friends and business partner aware of this limitation and problem with the app store. I'm also for the first time looking forward to get my hands on samsung device as it doesn't really seem to matter anymore if my apps/data are automatically in sync as apples promise of a cloud based 'play and have it anywhere" is an empty promise.
A very disillusioned customer (happy to switch to the competition)

Thank you both for your very instructive and helpful reply. I can see that open discussions are strongly encouraged in this forum.
@HACKINT0SH: if I remember one of your replies to another user with a similar problem of switching country setting you recommended to download all apps before switching but with the "side effect" that one will loose the ability to receive updates of the purchased apps once the country setting is switched.
What exactly is the lesson learned?
An app or a program is useless if you can't download updates as the app will be unsupported or won't work in future OS releases.
Hence your suggestion to download all apps before switching is only a short sighted work around solution which doesn't solve the issue of how to receive updates for the apps you bought in your previous country.
@Dah veed: I hope that above reply explains the problem of users switching apple store due to personal circumstances and not being able to continue using their purchased apps anymore. I didn't screw my country settings as I only moved from one country to the other without being able to move my apps with me. That's all and I would like to make people aware of this problem.
I only replied to both of you because I found your replies very entertaining and also proves to me that apple is not monitoring their "technical" support forum.
As a customer who is trying to help finding answers to problems I will nevertheless raise a formal complaint to apple instead of responding to both of you via this post. Perhaps this forum is indeed not the right forum to help solve this problem.

Smartform date formats not following SU3 setting or country settings.

Hi,
We have a smartform that has date fields that are to follow the format given in the country settings.
But i cannot seem to make the fields be printed out by the country settings. Ís the variable field to be of a special type?
I would rather not hard code these settings in the smartform.
Hope someone can help. We are running 46C.
Best regards

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
