ICloud, tabs and login issues

Good morning. I have an iMac, iPad and iPhone. I have an iCloud account which is in use. However, in Mountain Lion on the iMac, when I go to System Preferences, iCloud, it tells me to sign in. When I try and do so, it says I'm already signed in. As far as I know, I only have one iCloud name and password. I therefore do not have an option to show if Safari is on and cannot use iCloud Tabs. My bookmarks also don't want to sync between devices. Where have I gone wrong? Any advice appreciated.

If you can't sign into iCloud.com either, follow the instructions > iCloud: If you can’t sign in to iCloud.com
When you are able to to sign on, on your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Make sure Safari is selected.
On your iPad and iPhone, tap Settings > ICloud
Make sure Safari is switched on.

ICloud password and email issue

On my iphone 4s it shows my old address on the cloud, but i do not know the password and i cannot figure out how to get it. I have a new email address that I use for my apple id. How do i change my icloud email?

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, 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.

Restart and login issue

My macbook is running Mac OS X 10.7.1 (LION).
Everytime I try to restart Mac OS and load until the login page, I try to enter the password. Once I key in the first few character, the system hang and the spinning ball will keep spinning non stop.
May I know what is the problem?

This sounds almost identical to the issue I've been ripping my hair out over for the last week (and so far you're the only other similar report I could find). Basically, ML frequently (but not always) fails to get to the login screen. The apple logo + spinnin cursor complete, but then I'm left with a blank, gray screen with a moveable (but useless) cursor.
I've tried reinstalling multiple times (clean, different partition / disk, updating previous 10.7 system, over virgin 10.7 system) to no avail. I've also tried the following with no luck:
- Disk Utility repair permissions & repair disk
- PRAM reset
- SMC reset
- Unplugging all USB & firewire devices except keyboard & mouse
- Replacing GTX-285 graphics card with stock GT-120
- Removing all other PCI cards
- Swapped monitor input from DVI-D to DVI-I, used different cable
I captured logs of a successful and failed boot, and the biggest difference I can spot is that while the Window Server seems to be adding + removing the monitor multiple times, on the failure the last entry is a disconnect:
7/31/12 9:16:06.058 AM WindowServer[117]: Received display connect changed for display 0x28d9b380
Whereas on login success, the last WindowServer log message is one that seems repeated multiple times previously:
7/31/12 9:44:10.924 AM WindowServer[102]: Display 0x28d9b380: MappedDisplay Unit 0; ColorProfile { 2, "LCD2490WUXi"}; TransferFormula (1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000)
I'm definitely thinking it's something to do with the display (which functions perfectly fine under Lion), but can't think what it would be. It's an NEC 2490WUXi, and I'm connecting via a single DVI output on the graphics card (either GTX-285 or GT-120).
What display / graphics card combo are you using?

ICloud tabs and Text displays

Originally I only had a question about the iCloud button on Safari, but when I was creating a username for this support site, I found another.
So first off, whenever I click the iCloud button, it doesn't bring up the tabs that I have open on either my iPad or iPhone. Is there something in particular I have to enable, or...?
Secondly, the text was overlaying itself a bit when I was trying to create a username. I couldn't see the availabilty status because it was covered up by other text.

In OS X, you mean?
The easiest way to do that is using encrypted disk images. It's fairly simple to do with Disk Utility (put documents you want to secure in a folder and then create a new encrypted disk image from that folder).
Or you could use a 3rd party product like Knox or DropDMG which provides a little easier UI for managing it:

ICloud / storage and backup issue

I currently have a 4S and have used 13.3 GB of storage on my iPhone. I am unable to backup to iCloud even though I have free space of 15 GB b/c it is indicating that I need another 8.7 GB of storage. I have no old backups taking up space on iCloud, so how do I resolve this issue so that I have enough space for OS 7.0?

In Storage and Backup page check these. How many available space you have in iCloud and tap on "Manage Storage" to see how many Storage it needs the next Backup.

IOS 8.3 iCloud password and backup issues

Since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to 8.3, I get a message every morning asking for my iCloud password, I sign in as requested. I have tried signing out of iCloud and signing back in and that didn't help. Today I noticed that my iCloud had not backed up since the upgrade. if you are getting a similar message I suggest you check when the last backup was done. It appears that as the phone tries to do a backup it seems to want the password but I don't see this until the morning when I unplug the phone and as the phone is now no longer being charged it fails to conduct the backup. My wife's 4s has a similar problem, but my iPad 2 doesn't have the same problem. I have plenty of iAny ideas? Is this a bug in 8.3?

Did you try doing a backup manually - Settings/iCloud/Backup/Back Up Now ? If it needs the password, it should ask you which you can supply. I don't seem to have this problem but will keep an eye out for it.

Verizon call assistant "server down" and login issue

i downloaded the software a month ago & keep getting the server is down message. i was told that the vca app is in the middle of an ungrade and therefore the app wasn't working. i'm still unable to login. am i doing something wrong? do i need to register a new user id and password for vca? i'm assuming the login in is the same as what i use to log into myverizon.com
thanks
Message Edited by ElizabethS on 07-21-2009 06:00 PM

Hi there. You mention that you downloaded the VCA software but are unable to login. My first question is basic - where did you download the software from? Did the link come to you in an email from our business office? The reason I ask is that if you did not receive an email with the link, you might not be correctly registered. If you are not correctly registered, the folks that would handle that are at 866-697-0853. If you are registered, than let me know and we will continue to work.
Thank you!

ICloud password and login problems

I have to verify my iCloud password every day through forgot.com using the memorable questions. I updated my phone to the latest IOS and I am using Mavericks on the Mac - other than that nothing has changed. This problem has only occurred in the past two weeks, I can't believe the account is being hacked EVERY day... Anyone having the same problem?

Hi LucHow,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To help remedy this certainly frustrating experience where you are needing to verify your iCloud password constantly, I'd like you to please contact Apple account security in your country for support.

IChat 4, Kerberos and login issue

When using Kerberos I can get a ticket for the connection, but after the ticket exchange I get prompted for another authentication request with ID and password.
In the iChat server log I get the entry:
Apr 14 16:47:59 <servername> jabberd/c2s[76194]: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (Wrong principal in request)
Anybody an idea?

Yes, it is. FQN.
I think a part of the issue is, that we use DNS Service entries.
The machine has "server<xyz>" as DNS name. The chatserver uses the DNS service entry "chat<xyz>" with its own ip. "chat<xyz>" is set in the server admin.app, I added a xmpp/chat<xyz> princial to kerberos and the ticket is issued when I try to connect with ichat.
Usernames used are <username>@chat<xyz>. These usernames work when kerberos is turned of (normal connection to 5223/ssl).
Now, if I turn kerberos on, and leave the ichat server setting in ical client to chat<xyz> and but switch the usernames to <username>@server<xyz> I can log in via Kerberos. (In the case that I add chat<xyz> and server<xyz> to the ichat server Host Domains in server admin.app.
Bit confusing.

ICloud match and Bluetooth issues

When I connect to the Bluetooth in my car, I can't see or play the songs that I obtained from cd's (which were on my computer). Why can't I play all the songs? I can play them if the ipad is not connected to Bluetooth??

Sorry, it's actually in Mavericks

I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.

All the data on my Ipad3 is wiped out. is it possible to delete all the data from my ipad if somebody knows icloud-ID and password

All the data on my Ipad3 is wiped out. is it possible to delete all the data from my ipad if somebody knows icloud-ID and password

It sounds like a remote erase was sent via 'Find My Mac', to check please go to www.icloud.com and login. Is there any data there?
If it was a remote erase only someone who had the ID and password could have done it. And in that case the data is gone, it is not recoverable I'm afraid.

How may I clear iCloud tabs on Safari

How may I clear iCloud tabs? Somehow a webpage from several days ago got stuck in iCloud tabs and it won't leave.

Good Morning, Diapason.
The information you're looking for is found in this article:
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting iCloud Tabs
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5372
Specifically this information:
Removing Tabs from the Tab list
To remove a tab from the list of iCloud Tabs, you must close that tab in Safari on the supported device that you used to browse that website. Quitting Safari, putting your Mac to sleep, or shutting it down will not remove the tab from the list. If you no longer have access to the device that that you used to browse that tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 7 days, if not updated.
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities.
-Pedro D.
