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.

Charge it for 15 minutes with the mains charger, then disconnect and hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for 10-15 seconds until an Apple logo appears.

Icloud preferences grayed out after sign-in

Having upgraded to Yosemite, I am able to sign into icloud via icloud preferences, but all my existing checkbox selections for icloud is grayed out. I can't edit them. I can't check the icloud drive either.
I have a 2008 iMac.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm not using iCloud. Try signing out.

Icloud is grayed out shows an old AOL e-mail

My icloud is grayed out and it shows my old aol email. I went to the restriction setting it asking for a passcode and enter the correct code and now it says it is failed attempt.
HELP!

Keep trying to remember the passcode. If you can't remember it, the only way to remove it is to restore the phone as new without using your backup and start over (or restore a backup that was made prior to setting the restrictions passcode). The only other option would be try to extract the passcode from a backup on your computer (if you have one) using 3rd party software as explained here: http://www.simonblog.com/2011/03/16/how-to-recover-forgotten-iphone-restrictions -passcode/.

Having issues with my new iphone6 wants factory reset, but icloud is grayed out, Need help!

I am having problem with the imessage, facetime and icloud. Facetime and icloud and completely grayed out right from the setting. As to the under the "Messages" setting, iMessage is grayed out too. I tried to use the "reset all settings" function on the phone, but I forgot my restriction code. So I want to use factory restore on itune to restore my iphone, but it needs me to go to icloud setting to turn off the "find my iphone" before I can use the restore iphone. But I can't access the icloud with the phone, since it's been grayed out. Now I am stuck.. Please help!

On the discussion, there are instructions to go on iCloud.com and erase or factory reset your phone.

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.

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.

Music in iCloud is grayed out

I successfully logged into my music on iCloud from my work windows computer. THe second time I went to listen, all the tunes are grayed out. How to get them a second time?

I uncheched iTunes Match, then re-checked it, which solved the problem, at least for a session.

Why are the songs that I uploaded to the iCloud always graying out?

I've uploaded 14,000 songs to the Cloud. Now most are grayed out. Sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't. This happens on my MacBook as well as my iPhone 6. I'm signed in so that isn't the issue.
Also, why did the iCloud delete a whole bunch of my uploads? These were CDs like Tool and a few collector's songs that aren't in general release?

How did you do this?

"Edit SSL" grayed out, and Services automatically turning off

Hey, folks. I'm trying to get my Lion Server up and running, and I've hit two (related?) problems.
First, the various services won't turn on. I try to turn on iCal, for example, and it thinks about it for a minute, then it seems to be done. But it doesn't get the green light by the name, and as soon as I navigate to another service and come back, it switches to Off. Am I missing some massively simple step?
And second, when I try to set up an SSL certificate, I can't press the "Edit" button. Step #2 of the Help section article is "click Edit next to SSL certificate", but it's grayed out...
Any ideas on how to fix these two, seemingly simple problems?

I followed the steps here: https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/10.7/#apd163efc3a-1465-4a44-ad2d- c76094144512 and it seems to be working now.

TS1398 I have never had a problem with Apple. After the 7.02 update, my Wifi grayed out and would not turn on. Now my Wifi turns on but it will not connect. I even typed in the name and it still won't connect. I have tried all of apple's solutions.

I have tried all the solutions apple has offered online. I will not reset my phone to factory settings unless it is a last resort. What is Apple doing to fix this? I had my last Iphone last for more than 2 years and I hve had this one less than a year. My Wifi was greyed out and now it's on but won't connect or locate any networks (but if I keep switching it on and off it will freeze on me again). Does Apple have plans to fix this problem because I refuse to purchase a new phone?
Are there any other new solutions to try in fixing the Wifi that doesn't require freezing or heating up the phone or switching to airplane mode and resetting the network settings as well making sure it's up todate or changing the apostrophe in the phone's name? My phone has never been dropped or damaged. Everyone around the world seems to be having this problem and Apple does not seem to be making a move to fix it? I use this phone for everything and 4g will only last so long before I reach my monthly limit. Please help!!!!!!!!!

that makes no sense... it was only doing an update... if that's the case it should have promted me to back up first if this is even possible... there is a program that says it can recovery anything that hasn't been written over yet.. so would this not work? http://www.iphone-data-recovery.com/iphone-data-recovery.html or would the apple store be able to recover it??? i've done plenty of data recovery on computers... why wouldn't it be possible on an Iphone... does apple seriously not care about thier customers at all??? how about thier employees that are gonna get more than an earful tomorrow when I walk in there store??? No wonder samsung paid 2 million to apple in pennies when they got sued... (how does it feel to be screwed with apple?!)

What is grayed out?
If you mean iCloud is grayed out in settings, go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts (near the bottom) and set this to Allow Changes.

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.

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

Booting from the Snow Leopard DVD disc go into Disk Utility and select the top most entry, it should be the name of the drive and list its capacity. Then select the Partition tab and then click on the drop down for the Partition Layout drop down and select One Partition. From there name it Macintosh HD with a format of Mac Extended (Journaled) and then click the Options button and select GUID as the Partition Table. Close that options window and Click Apply. After that is done exit DU then start the Reinstall Mac OS X and you should now have a hard drive, IE Partition, to install to.
If any of the above is not available, IE the partitioning and the selection of the drive to install to, then your internal hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced.
