ICloud won't open on my PC

Everything is up to date. I followed the instructions from Apple on how to setup iCloud.
I got into Network and Internet (running Windows 7 home premium ASUS PC LAPTOP) and i click and i click and i click and it doesnt open. Except everything else will including MobileMe.... someone help please

I've never used mobile me. I'm having the same problem on a Dell Latitude 13 Windows 7 laptop. I install icloud and setup what I want synced, everything looks like it syncs successfully. When I close icloud, and click on the iCloud icon in the system tray or in the control panel, there is a short flicker of the cursor to the hour glass and then nothing happens.

Numbers updated in iCloud won't open on mac

I can't open numbers files I have worked on in iCloud without upgrading. If I ugrade, will the upgrade go to all 3 of my devices?

I'm still having problems. Numbers spreadsheets that I work on in iCloud won't open on my macs. I get "You need a newer version of numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I try to buy the new version I get "mac osX version 10.9 or later required". I am on 10.75.
iCloud automatically upgraded me to the beta version, and now I can't work on my spreadsheets in iCloud without buying apps and updates I do not want or need. If I open a spreadsheet in iCloud it is no longer useable for me.
Trying to muddle through this mess so I can get back to work!

Apple id messed up and now icloud won't open

Hi, I changed my apple id a while ago and had no problems but when I upgraded to maverick my apple id reverted to an old id. I fixed it on my phone but can't figure out how to fix on my mac. HELP!

Hi, I did sign out of icloud and when I tried to sign back in with the correct ID - it just keeps trying to can't open. Should I try restarting computer and try again?

My iCloud won't open

My iCloud is off and when I go to turn it back on in my settings, it freezes and doesn't let me open it. This is causing me not to be able to download anything in the App Store as well. How do I get back to turning it on?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

My numbers documents in iCloud won't open and only message is "cannot open spreadsheet". Apparently these documents are lost. is there a fix?

I have lost several documents over the past year in numbers. they are saved in icloud and occassionally the icon will turn green or black. when i try to open them, i get a message "spreadsheet will not open." tried opening them in my macbook pro, iphone, and ipad. none worked. i have now lost 4-5 documents.

yes, i could use timecapsule or just back up on a usb drive, but that defeats the purpose of icloud. i use icloud because i need to open the documents on multiple devices throughout the week. when i open documents on my iphone away from home, i cant back them up using timecapsule or a usb. even if i could that would be doing double the work.
i question / problem is that there is a glich/flaw with icloud and numbers because every few weeks or months, one of my documents becomes corrupted and wont open and i loose everything on that spread sheet. the purpose of icloud is to automatically backup as I alter the documents on my multiple devices.
just wondering if apple has figured out how to correct this flaw. i have read about the same problem with other people. FYI this never happens with notes.

I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both. I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough - or maybe it's me?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Pages won't open documents from iCloud

I have a bunch of documents in icloud. I can open them on my iPad, but I cannot open them on my MBP. I get an error message simply saying Pages cannot open the document. This is a brand new MBP running Mountain Lion.

I've encountered this issue a couple of times with Pages 5.1. You try to open a document you've been previously working on that's saved in iCloud, and almost instantly Pages says it can't open the document.
I logged into iCloud and confirmed the document was there are editable with iCloud Pages beta.
You'll find you can create a new document, save it to iCloud, but be unable to open it. Likewise, you can rename and duplicate documents in iCloud using Pages, but still it won't open anything.
Before you get too carried away signing out of iCloud, or deleting folders and what not as I've seen suggested, restart your computer to see if that fixes the problem.
In my case this worked, and effectively, your computer is signing out of iCloud, then signing back in when you restart.
There could be many reasons aside from the obvious bug in Pages as to why this might occur. Are you signed in on two different user accounts using the same iCloud account, as is frequently the situation with me, as I have a work user and home user on my MBP.
Is your wireless connection a little unreliable. You might be able to browse, but the signal strength might be too low to interact with iCloud reliably.
In any event, the good old "turn it off, then turn it on again" fixed the problem for me. Try that first as it's the least destructive.

Apps and movies won't open under my old itunes msn id, but the newer iCloud id presents no problem. i've reset the phone a number of times. is there away to get all my previous purchases from my old account transfered to the newer iCloud account?

i now have three Apple Store accounts. The first was when I signed up for mobileMe ending in "me." The second ending in "msn" And now the third ending in,"icloud"
The first two seemed to be linked and i would get notifications to update even when i wasn't signed into that account. All the apps downloaded worked just fine on my Iphone4 whether they were downloaded using my iphone or whether they were downloaded from my macbook pro no matter which account they were downloaded from. Now since i started using icloud and after a number of restores my Apple id under "msn" downloads on the apps and my movies all purchased from itunes won't open up. All the other id's apps open up just fine. I've reinstalled itunes, deleted all the apps under the msn account and tried to redownload on both my iphone and my laptop but, no sucess.
I think the only way to get the apps that i've paid for previously is the see if itunes could move my previous purchases from one account, "msn", to my "icloud" account. has anyone else had a problem like this and how can I makethis happen?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates.

Pages 5.1 won't open previous files in iCloud.

Updated Pages today to 5.1. Now, when I open Pages and choose a file to open that is in iCould, the file won't open. Pages seems to open files on my Mac.
Pages '09 won't open then files stored on iCould either. Pages 5.1 gives me an error message saying the file cannot be opened. Pages '09 gives no message; it just won't open the file.
If I drag the file from the iCloud window in Pages to my desktop, the file will open. Looks like a bug to me.

I'm having a similar problem.
Running Pages 5.1 on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
I can't open any Pages document on iCloud from my iMac, regardless of where that document was originally created (iMac, MBP, or iPad). I have tried File -> Open File... from within Pages, as well as by double-clicking the file within the iCloud folder in Finder. However, I can copy the file to my desktop via Finder, and then open it from my desktop. I can create a file in Pages on my iMac and save it to iCloud, but then I can't open it later.
However, I can open any Pages document on iCloud from my MacBook Pro without any problem - including the ones that won't open on the iMac.

Outlook 2010 won't open after installing icloud for windows

Hi,
Installed icloud for windows at work this morning after moving my MM account to icloud at home on my MBP.
Installed ok but after ticking the mail, contacts, calendar and bookmark boxes on icloud for windows Outlook 2010 starts but won't open and stays on the "Processing..." for a long time before I close it.
Also the icloud for windows control panel won't reopen except the time it opens after installation. I have tried removing it and rebooting but after it's installed, if you close the control panel it won't reopen although it's still running in Task Manager. Closing it in Task Manager and restarting doesn't make a difference.
Currently I removed, rebooted and reinstalled and only have the bookmarks ticked and outlook works ok but the control panel still won't reopen.
I am on a exchange server so don't know if this is part of the problem. Not real worried about mail but would like calendars working again.
Very thankful for any help you can offer.

I had the same problem after successfully moving from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday on my PC, ipad and iphone.
Today I couldn't open Outlook 2010. An Outlook dialogue box for my MobileMe email account kept asking for the email password, and although I put the password in, it kept re-appearing.
I turned off Norton spam temporarily, because I noticed Outlook was stuck processing the Norton plug ins at opening, and managed to open Outlook but the programme crashed every time I tried to access my email account settings (I thought I would try to delete the MobileMe email account).
I then opened the Control Panel for iCloud and unchecked the Mail with Outlook box, which has enabled Outlook to work again. The @me.com email account was gone when I checked the email accounts. I never needed to use the @me.com email account anyway.
How frustrating and such a waste of my time.
Does anyone know what difference it makes if the MobileMe/iCloud email is not connected to Outlook? Does it really make any difference when you have your email accounts in the iPad and iPhone anyway?

ICloud contacts won't open on mac

I can't seem to get my iCloud contacts to open on my mac via the contacts app. The app opens and only shows my gmail account. When I go back and check my iCloud preferences, the contacts tab is checked. If I try to add an account in the app, it lets me go through all of the steps and acts like it is working, but won't actually add the account. I have restarted the program multiple times and I am just stumped! Any suggestions are appreciated.

CANCEL. A restart did the trick. Should have tried that first. Duh.

Files on one of my icloud email mailboxes won't open. No files in the mailbox will open

Files in one of my icloud mailboxes won't open. No files in this mailbox open, but other icloud mailboxes do. Any ideas?

Thank you. I tried the soft reboot again, and the home button has been working fine this whole time. I have tried deleting the email acct from the settings and the mail app still opens only empty frames. I have a screen shot of it, but don't know how to post it here to be able to show what exactly is happening.
The mail app will open. I can see the area that usually shows the messages themselves. I can also see the area that usually displays all the accts. Both these areas are completely blank. The search bar is showing on the left hand side, and up on the top right, the download button, reply, delete and compose buttons are showing. At the very bottom left the refresh button is showing. The app sits like that for about 20 seconds and then automatically closes. None of the buttons are responsive. I cannot see any of the email accounts I have in the app (3, usually but 2 at the moment since deleting the acct that seemed to have caused this problem).
I have force-stopped the app, shut down and restarted the iPad, and rebooted the iPad. None of these have helped.

HT4942 pages document won't open on ipad or icloud

I have created a document in pages on my ipad.
All of a sudden after switching to another document and then trying to switch back, on my ipad which wasn't connected to the internet at the time, I could no longer open my document in Pages.
I message popped up saying document won't open. I tried making a copy of it and the copy had the same error message when I tried to open it. I tried emailling and exporting it in the ipad Pages app but it froze up when trying to do it and didn't work.
I logged onto icloud and I see the document there but it won't open. I get a message that says "Document Can't be downloaded, please try again"
Is there any way to recover this document? It is so frustrating because I can see what I wrote is still there in the thumbnail - but I just can't get the actual document.

It isn't complicated if you don't use it. Like Apple.
