ICloud grayed out?

My I icloud app on my iPhone 4 is all grayed out. Anyone familiar with this problem? Is there a way to reinstall?

@debbiefrompenryn
This maybe because Restrictions have been enabled on the device.
Go to:
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add/amend your email account as per norm.
Hope this helps.

ICloud grayed out, restrictions won't allow reset?

My son set restrictions (and a password) on my iPhone, causing iCloud to gray out. The answer would be to reset the iPhone to factory settings, but I cannot do so until I can get into iCloud to turn off "find my iPhone." My son is special needs, and cannot tell me what password he set. How can I reset the phone?

See if this helps

if not, it is a hardware failure. Contact Genius bar/AT&T for evaluation and possible replacement.

HT4759 icloud grayed out on ipad2

my icloud if grayed out on my ipad cant figure out why?

You need to restore from a backup made before the code was set. If no such backup exists, restore to factory settings.

Under Settings Facetime and iCloud grayed out

On my iPhone5 under settings, both the iCloud and Facetime are grayed out? I cannot make Facetime calls? Anyone got an idea?
Thanks,

Check to see if iMessage is activated too. They work together and if iMessage is not activated, then Facetime will error as well. See if making this change helps.

ICloud grayed out on iPhone 4 running IOS 5

On my iPhone 4 running IOS 5, in settings, I can not tap iCloud or Twitter because they are gray. I just installed IOS5 last night and it did not ask me to set up iCloud. Is iCloud only avaialble on the 4S? Why would they be gray? How do I fix it?

I had this question too, but after hours of searching on here I found it!! You likely have your "restrictions" on to have things disabled. Turn them off (or enabled).

Twitter and iCloud grayed out; what happened?

All I know is durring setup I said yes to using iCloud but no to syncing my iPad to it because it wouldn't for some reason now it won't let me see the iClud or Twitter portion of Settings.
Also (not as important) is there a way to turn wifi syncing off? I'm pretty much already by my laptop if I need to sync my iPad so it seems rather useless to me...

I just reset all settings in (settings<general<reset<"reset all settings") and set up as new device thru icloud and all is well...it doesnt delete your apps or info or anything
works perfect now

Some songs are grayed out in Itunes with ICloud/Download symbol, why and how do I fix it?

A random variety of my songs are grayed out so they won't play and it shows the ICloud download symbol next to them. In the top left hand corner, it shows the cloud symbol with horizontal lines moving, as if it's in the process of downloading, but it has been on all day and there is no movement to shift the grayed out songs to functioning songs as if they have been downloaded.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks!!

Delete the incomplete tracks from your library, sending them to recycle bin, then download them again from your purchased history. If the problem persists use the "report a problem" links from your account history to contact the iTunes store support staff.
Are the incomplete tracks ones that you had previewed before purchasing the album? If so there may be a bug that needs reporting. See this recent post which explains why I ask the question...

HT4759 How do I change the Apple ID in iCloud? I changed my Apple ID but when I am in settings in iCloud it is grayed out and still has the old Apple ID and I don't know how to change to the new id

How do I change my Apple ID in iCloud. I changed my Apple ID but when I go to settings iCloud the old id is grayed out and won't let me change it now because my password is for the new id but I can out the new id in the Apple ID spot

Does it show a Delete Account option at the bottom of Settings > iCloud? What happens if you hit that?

HT1349 The photo option in ICloud on my computer will not activate (it is grayed out as an option). Any assistance in getting my photos from my incloud on my iphone and ipad to my computer

The photo option in ICloud on my computer will not activate (it is grayed out) after I load the Icloud download. My Ipad and iphone are sharing my photo stream photos but cannot get to my computer. I read all the instructions and reloaded Cloud 2 x but again will not activate the photo sharing piece.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

How do I delete my old iCloud ID when it is "grayed" out

My iCloud ID is for my old email address that is no longer used as my Apple ID and has been deleted from the account due to it being my old work email.
When I started with my brandnew iPhone 5 yesterday it automatically linked my old iCloud ID and will no longer work until I type in the passowrd
As it is not linked to my apple ID there is no passowrd, but I cannot delete the ID from my phone and use cloud until it is typed in.
where the iCloud ID is in my phone is "grayed" out so I cannot delete it.
Any Ideas?

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.

After installing iCloud on PC, appointments are grayed out in my Outlook iCloud calendar; don't show up on iPad calendar but do show up on iPhone calendar

I have been working on this issue for DAYS and have searched the web and this support community but can find no answers. I have a PC, iPad, and iPhone. I installed iCloud on my PC so that I could sync calendars, contacts, and maybe tasks. Nothing I have tried has worked.
The iCloud calendar that appeared alongside my Outlook calendar on my PC has all of my Outlook appointments - but they are all grayed out.
The appointments that were on both my iPhone and my Outlook calendar are now grayed out on my Outlook calendar - but if I close my iCloud calendar in Outlook, these appointments are no longer grayed out. These appointments now appear twice on my iPhone.
The appointments in my Outlook calendar appear in my iPhone calendar but do not show up in iCloud in my web browser nor on my iPad (not even grayed out).
My contacts appear to have synced from Outlook to iPhone - but have not synced with iCloud online nor my iPad.
This is beyond frustrating.
Some basics:
Windows 7 Enterprise, 32 bit
Outlook 10
iCloud is enabled on the iPhone and iPad
phone and pad operating systems are up to date
I turned off and then restarted my iPad - didn't work
I turned off and then restarted my PC - didn't work
I uninstalled and then reinstalled iCloud on my PC - didn't work

I'm having the identical events...Outlook calendar entries grayed out on my PC installed iCloud and absent on my iPhone. iPhone entries do show up in Outlook.

Wifi grayed out after update. Restored phone as new. How do I get data from iCloud without wifi?

My wifi was grayed out and my battery drains drastically after updating to 6.1.3.
I have tried all possible solutions to get my wifi back. However, nothing seems to work. I am now trying to (at least) get my battery back to normal. I read in other posts that restoring the iPhone as a new phone > drain battery > full charge might help.
I did the restore as new phone and do not want to restore from back up. I just like to manually back up some (not all) data I've lost and keep my phone like this, like new. How do i back up my messages and photos from iCloud if my phone wont connect to wifi?
Any ideas?
Is there another way to get my photos and messages back aside from doing an iCloud backup?

You can't view or extract backed up data at iCloud.com. AFAIK, without a WiFi connection, there is no way to retrieve your data. You'd need another iPhone to restore your iCloud backup to in order to retrieve it. Of couse this would require either doing an out of warranty replacement for your existing phone, ot borrowing a phone from someone, erasing it, then setting it up using your Apple ID.
You could make an appointment at an Apple store to see what the genius bar can offer you.

ICloud items grayed out on MBP

Hi all-
Last night I had to change my password for iCloud as it was entered incorrectly too many times (think I was typing it wrong). I've successfully done that and able to login both online as well as iTunes store, etc.
However, today when I booted my MBP, I was first greeted with a bunch of keychain warnings. I was able to cancel out of all of those then enter the new iCloud password and those warnings are no longer popping up at boot.
My problem now is that, when I got to both "iCloud" and "Internet Accounts" in system preferences, everything is grayed out (the items I should be able to check). At the top of both of those screens there's a "enter password" button, which I hit. I then enter my new password. It accepts it, in both, yet the screen it takes me to...with Photos, Mail, Contacts, Calendars..." etc are all still grayed. I cannot adjust, tick any of the radio buttons, etc. Also, under my user icon on the left both "Account Details" and "Set Up Family" are also grayed, unavailable to click.
Can anyone help? There is an option to "sign out" which I'm tempted to do and try signing back in, but then, when looking into that option I've read that items in iCloud stored on the mac will be removed. I don't want to risk losing data from this mac. Or will it all just be brought back into the MBP from iCloud once I log back in? OS X Yosemite: If you sign out of iCloud
Is there anything else I should be doing? Or is the play here to Sign Out and sign back in? Thanks.
Cory

Now I have another issue, potentially. When trying to sign out, I use my Apple ID to log into my computer. So now, before I can log out, it's telling me that I'll need to set up a new password and that I won't be able to use my Apple ID password to sign into this computer. This is quite annoying. If I do this step, re-log back into iCloud, will I then be able to revert back, setting my MBP login screen to my iCloud password? That's how I wanted it...it was seamless, allowing the same login online as I use when logging into this machine.

How do I change the grayed out name underneath the iCloud sign?

There is a grayed out name underneath the iCloud sign i iCloud preferences.
It it not correct. Where does this name come from, and how do I change it.
Loba49

If you mean in Settings>iCloud>Account - and the name there is incorrect - the whose name/ID is it? If it is not yours, how did it get in the iPad in the iCloud settings?

My iCloud Backup button is grayed out and i cant turn it on. All my devices are on Wifi. Help!

my iCloud Backup button is grayed out and i cant turn it on. All my devices are on Wifi. Help! Both my ipad and iPhone

A number of employers will push a security profile to your phone when you add their exchange account that prevents you from backing it up to iCloud. They do this because they don't want confidential company information on another companies servers. If this is the case, you will find a setting called "Profile" in Settings>General near the bottom.
You would have to contact the company's IT department to confirm that they are preventing you from backing up to iCloud but that's normally what causes the iCloud backup setting to be grayed our or missing from an iOS device.
