ICloud won't setup properly on my iPhone 6, iPad Mini or iMac

Hi everyone,
I've had an iMac and iPad for a while now and wasn't keen on setting up iCloud but this changed with my first iPhone which I got a few days ago.
I opted to activate iCloud during the setup process thinking it'd be just as easy to do as everything else was.
FYI: right now all my devices have their latest iOS/OSX versions...
iPhone 6 - iOS 8.1.2 (12B440):
- Everything seemed fine until I looked at Settings > iCloud
- I'm continually asked to log in. Even after logging in successfully, the login prompt will show up again later (and repeatedly)
- iCloud Drive is "upgrading" and won't stop. It has been like this for at least 2 days now and Apple's servers have been fine when I've checked
- I'm unable to log out/remove/delete/change the iCloud account that's on my phone. The "Sign Out" button is greyed out and cannot be selected
- I've tried turning flight mode on/off (didn't work)
- Restarting the phone (nope)
- Multiple soft resets (nudda)
- A hard reset is a last resort if possible
iPad Mini - iOS 8.1.2 (12B440):
- I'm continually asked to log in like with my phone
- iCloud Drive isn't shown like it is on my phone
iMac (late 2009) - OSX Yosemite 10.10.1:
- Error: "You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again"
iCloud.com:
- Error: "Set up iCloud on a device to use iCloud.com. Your Apple ID must be used to set up iCloud on an iOS or OS X device before you can use iCloud.com"
My Apple ID works in iTunes, the App Store, and probably everything else except iCloud.
Also, it's not possible for me to visit an official Apple store or service centre as they're literally hundreds of miles away from where I live.
Anyway, I have no idea what to do and would really appreciate any help. Thanks

Thanks for replying. I think it's just one problem affecting everything else. To me, it seems like the setup and/or upgrade process for iCloud is stuck and I'm unable to activate it anywhere else (iPad, iMac, iCloud.com, etc.)
I know the Apple ID I used. I only have one and used that when setting up my iPhone...

So, signing out isn't possible from what I can tell.
So, I dunno

HT4864 I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

Forwarding email from comcast to icloud is different than icloud managing comcast email. One disadvantage of forwarding is that when you respond to an email originally sent to the comcast address and forwarded to icloud, your reply will have the icloud address as the source, not your comcast. That is a problem for many users.
If your comcast account is IMAP, then there's no reason to forward. Just define two accounts in your mail app, one for comcast and one for icloud. Once done, you don't have to worry about dealing with two services, it's all done in a unified way.
And.... you are not talking to Apple here, we're just users like you. Apple doesn't participate in these forums.

You need to get the newer version from the Mac App Store.

If you are concerned.
Log off all iCloud and Apple ID accounts on your devices.
Change you password for Apple ID and iCloud.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that you don't have more than one account in your contacts, such as 'iCloud' and 'On My Phone'.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv. I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream. You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

Why does iPhoto open when I connect my iPhone and iPad to my iMac?

Whenever I connect my iPhone or iPad to my iMac, iPhoto opens. This started within the last week or two. Any suggestions? Are there some Preferences I can change to stop this? Thank you.

Take a look at this article and note the section about disabling iPhoto for certain devices. Maybe that will help.

I trust that you have totally quit iPhoto and rebooted your Mac?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You don't really sync photos from the devices to the Mac, you import them to an app; iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture. During that process you are given an option to erase the photos from the device. Is this not the manner that you used?
