ICloud does not work on iPhone

I have followed the instructions on how to set up iCloud on my iPhone a zillion times, but still cannot figure out how to start using it! Every time I go to icloud.com, the options I have in front of me are "Set up iCloud on this device," "Insteall Find my iPhone," and "Insteall Find My Friends." I cannot get it to just allow me to log in! I have connected my iPhone to my MacBook, made sure that my devices are running iOS 5, turned on iCloud on my iPhone, and cusomized my iPhone settings for iCloud. Yet I still seem to be missing something.. Help! I would really like to use iCloud on my iPhone!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You don't need to use iCloud.com from your phone (indeed you can't). You need to use the contacts, mail, calendar etc etc apps on the phone to access and use your shared data.

    Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
    That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
    Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps).  Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior.  The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere.  Specific syncs are not relevant.

  • Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work

    Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work.  I could click on buttons for Reminders, Notes, etc. and would take me into ICloud to share with other devices. No longer functions.

    Hi:
    I can't help you with why your PC won't upgrade to W8.1, but I can tell you that if you manage to get W8.1 to install, you won't be able to get the graphics to work anymore.
    There is no W8.1 driver for the graphics setup in your PC.
    So maybe it is a good thing that you can't get it to work. 

  • AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well

    AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well.
    WLAN is working, I can use Youtube on my AppleTV, but I can´t connect to my computer or use airplay on my iPhone or iPad.

    Something is not configured correctly that is creating issues with your AppleTV.  You can disconnect it from the TV and power, and then plug it into your computer with a micro-USB cable.  After launching iTunes on your computer, you will be able to restore it to default settings and upgrade the software.

  • Sync between my iPhone 4s and Mac Book Pro with OS X and iCloud does not work. Why?

    I just purchased an iPhone 4S and downloaded Mac OS X on my Mac Book Pro. Synchronization between my iPhone and my Mac Book does not work with iCloud. Why?

    You have set everything up - entered apple id, are connected to the Internet, Mac os x lion update installed enabling iCloud, etc?

  • Transfer from Mac to iCloud does not work

    Hello,
    I failed to transfer any data from my Mac (OS X 7.3) to the iCloud. I use Microsoft Outlook (Calendar, Mail and Contacts). The Calendar and the Contacts are mirrored to the local iCal and address book. However, nothong gets synchronized to iCloud. ICal and address book are empty (exept for the Apple and my address). I would need to transfer these data to an iPad and iPhone I'm planning to buy.
    I also cannot transfer any other data (including photos) to the iCloud. Only "Search my Mac" works.
    What am i doing wrong?
    MobileMe also does not work, I cannot log in with my vaild Apple ID. Since this will shut down sooon I'm not concerned but maybe these things are connected?
    Regards,
    Axel

    Microsoft Outlook is not compatible with iCloud as Microsoft have not yet added support for the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols that iCloud and other similar services uses.

  • Photostream does not work on iphone 5

    First excuse me for bad english, I am not English but Dutch
    I have an iphone 5 and IOS6 (beautiful phone!!)
    My photostream does not work properly, I use the Icloud program (latest version) on my windows 7 pc
    But whem i put a photo into the upload map, the photo does not appear in my photostream on my iphone.
    I have reset the photostream on icloud.com, On my Iphone I have set the photostream of and deleted the photo's
    But a new photo will not appear in my phoyostream when I do on my pc?
    Can you tell me what's wrong
    Thanks
    Philip

    Hi Philip, I had a similiar problem when I upgraded from 4S to iPhone 5, basically when i had the iPhone 4S i deleted the pictures off the camera roll but kept them in the photostream.
    When i upgraded to iPhone 5, the pictures in camera roll transfered over and only the last 30 days of photostream not all images. I phoned apple, I was told that you can save the picture to camera roll by selecting multiple images (click edit on photostream on you'r phone) in photostream then selecting "share" then select "save to camera roll" then you can take the pictures from there. But this did not work for me.
    So what i did instead was download box.com app and got an account. I used this app to upload multiple images from my photostream to the cloud. You get 5gb free with box so more than enough for images. I then download this images on my laptop from the cloud directly.
    Hope this helps Taher

  • Spotlight does not work on iphone 6 with ios 8.1.2

    Since a few weeks the spotlight search does not work anymore on my iphone. I tried removing all subjects in the setiings menu and adding them again.

    No, it should work with the iPad. It's not a matter of what version of iOS is on the device.
    The card reader has never been compatible with any iPhone. It is compatible with iPads.

  • Call log does not work. Iphone 4

    Hi, I'm an Iphone 4 user, software currently on IOS 6.1.3, updated a couple of weeks ago.
    Everything's fine and all, though one major problem that's been persisting - the call history is not working. Whenever an oncalling call (regardless if it's someone in my contact list or not) comes, the call log does not record the number and the entire log remains blank. I've tried resetting the settings as well as 'hard reset', but neither of these two have worked.
    It's become absolutely frustrating, especially when I sold items off at Trademe and can't even track the phone numbers of anyone that gives a call saying they want to buy something (for the moment, I've currently got all pages saying that anyone interested should text my number, but as always, someone ignores that and just calls anyway). Not to mention it makes it a particularly big headache for work purposes as well and it obviously can't go on like this forever.
    It'd be really appreciated if anyone can come up with a solution that can resolve this issue.
    Thanks.

    ..I just upgrade my E52 from 034.001 to 052.003 and noticed that 'call log' function does not work anymore. The symptom is that nothing happens when pressing:
    - "green" call button,
    - Log option from the main menu,
    - missed calls from the desktop.
    I had to switch the phone to active Standby Mode which I never used before - this is the only way to see missed calls - the small "pop up" on the desktop.
    Any suggestions how to fix it? Is it a known issue?...
    I don't know how widespread your experience is but it is not universal as all the functions you describe work correctly for me with an E52 and 052.003 firmware.
    Even if the upgrade reverted the log settings for Log Duration to "None" the "Green" key and the Log menu icon should bring the log up but with it empty, of course.

  • ICloud information does not work on iPhone 5

    My iCloud information works perfectly with my e-mail address on my computer, yet does not register as true information on my Apple iPhone 5.
    It was just reset, and recently updated with the new security features that came out last week. I do not understand the problem as it allows me access through not only the Apple website but the iTunes store and everything related to it.
    This won't let me set my e-mails, access my phone data in general or anything.

  • Syncing iphone contacts with iCloud does not work

    I navigate to my iPhone 4 Settings and from there chose the option which is named iCloud
    I turn OFF Contacts choosing to keep contacts on my iPhone and then turn it ON again.
    I get prompted with the option to Merge my iPhone contacts with the ones I have on the iCloud already. I  click "Merge".
    I wait until the iCloud service is turned on for my iPhone contacts.
    Finally, I go back to the Contacts app on my iPhone and click Groups, which is there I assume because I have multiple email accounts linked to my iPhone. I refresh my contact list by clicking on the circular arrow in the top left corner of the screen on the iPhone.
    Contacts I have recently added to my iPhone are NOT transferred to iCloud.
    Why is this not working?
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    Go on system preferences / iCloud and check if Calendar is turned on.
    Then take your iPhone 4 and go on Settings/iCloud and check if the Calendar is turned on.
    If both are on with the same Apple ID, it should all go fine.
    You can go on iCloud.com, logon with your Apple ID and click on the calendar to verify.

  • ICloud does not work with Thunderbird 7.0.1.  Any resolution?

    Migrated to iCloud from MobileMe and reset imap server and password on Thunderbird per Apple guidnace (article HT4864) for third party setup.  Does not accept password or reach server.  Webmail access to iCloud via browser works fine, so password is correct.  Any resolution or ideas?  Thunderbird worked fine with MobileMe.  Can I go back to MobileMe until Apple gets this figured out?  (windows 7 prof, TB 7.0.1)

    You see, that happens if one does not read the famous "minimum system requirements". They are not stated for joy and fun.
    In other words :
    on OSX Lion  you must use iCal/Adress Book/ Apple Mail
    on Windows Vista and Win7 you must use Outlook 2007 or 2010.
    "Thunderbird" is just some "other" clients. And it is nowhere written that it is supported. Just like nowhere is written that XP or some older OSX is supported. Nex time read the requirements better.

  • Ibg-star glucosemeter does not work with iphone 5s

    My iBG-star bloodglucose meter does not function with my iPhone 5s, together with the apple ligthning adapter and app
    It did work in december 2013, after january 12th of 2014 it failed. I already have deleted the app, and restored my iPhone.
    Strangely, on my iPad mini it works fine!!! Is there some setting incorrect on my iPhone???

    Try a restore of the iPhone .The last update may have corrupted the iOS installation
    Restore will install a full fresh copy of iOS 7.0.4
    ps do you find meter a worthwhile purchase ?
