ICloud shows 'no devices' even though my iPhone has the FindMyPhone app installed and is logged into the iCloud account. How can I get the phone to show up?
My phone signs in OK with iCloud, and iCloud syncs the calendar etc. OK, but FindMyPhone app does not work. It is iinstalled and logs in to iCloud OK, but iCloud shows 'no devices'. I've uninstalled/reinstalled several times with no change. The phone is connected to the internet, FindMyPhone is turned on, and location services is turned on. What else can I do to get iCloud to find this phone???
Your phone should automatically re-appear in "Find my iPhone" when it next connects to the internet. There's nothing you can do to force it.
So, from that support document you've confirmed that none of the following are true:
The date on your device is incorrect. This can be set in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Your iOS device is currently off or not connected to a data network (Edge, 3G or Wi-Fi). Wait a few minutes and try again.
Your iPad (Wi-Fi only), iPod Touch, or Mac is currently off or not connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Location Services is not enabled on your device in Settings.
You are located in a country where Apple does not offer this feature. This feature may not be available in all countries due to technical limitations or local law.
Have you tried the age old troubleshooting tip of turning the phone off and then on again?

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall windows 7, how can I get the playlist on my iphone onto itunes?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchass from the ipod. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases -
I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?
Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them. Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them. However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so. If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. -
Hi, The emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28. How can I get the correct date received?
That's very scary. They might do it, but I personally have never had Apple contact me re id's except on their site when signing in. I suggest you DO NOT respond until you have a phone conversation with Apple security. They can verify if they sent you the e-mail and why.
While it's very possible it's true,again, I suggest you not respond until you speak to someone at Apple. I've often read here that when people sign in they are not allowed to because "someone else has used the id" type of statement.
Also, you should be able to go to the app store and see what apps you have downloaded.
Though it could have been a free app, have you checked to see if any were bought with your id account?
I've gotten these types of e-mails from places like USPS and FedEx which look amazingly authentic and were from their website. I also received an odd e-mail from my cousin in Ireland last year that clearly was not from him. It was also sent to others in his family in Ireland. I e-mailed him that I only opened it because it had a .ie, but suggested he change... Days later I received mail from 'him' - same name, but at yahoo.com.
Again, I would call Apple. You can also report it at [email protected], but I would not settle for that given your situation. If nothing else, call Apple sales (sales depts. anywhere answer fast) and ask them to transfer you to security. Apple will not want anybody accessing their name, and while it's unlikely, it's not impossible that it is someone phishing.
Hope this helps and can you let the support community know your results by posting on this thread when you're done? Thank you.
Hope this helps. -
After changing my Apple ID I do not seem to be able to recognize it as my proper ID. It does work properly for an iTunes login and password, but, it is not displayed that way on my device when I look at my iCloud settings and other "system level" settings.
How do I correct this to be confident that I can use a feature, such as "Find My iPhone" and know that the functions and contact info is correct?To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

How can I get my phone to show me my passwords for Facebook and Twitter after they are imputed?
I forgot my twitter account password. I need to log in from my Macbook Safari Browser, but I cannot remember the password. Does anyone know how I can access my passwords and view them?
What do you mean by icons? Website favicons for the tabs you have pinned? Your bookmarks? Something else?
Please provide a screenshot.

When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?
The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.
To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC. Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos? All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals. Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!
It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). -

just replaced my iphone 4 with new 4. restore from icloud is hung on an app I no longer use (password probably expired) how can i get the restore to move on to the next app
Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud
How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?
You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually. -
