ICloud won't stay enabled

I have a laptop running Windows 7 and the latest iCloud Panel installed. This laptop does not keep iCloud enabled after it has been turned off. Other computers/laptops on same network are working correctly.
Looking for an answer and or soultion.

I have the same issue on my iPhone. iCloud works fine on all devices, Macs and idevices, except on my iPhone, where the "use iCloud" button greys itself out immediately after I try to access Numbers or Pages.

ICloud won't stay signed out and other fun stuff

Okay so I am on a MacBook Pro using Yosemite and my machine has several problems. The first is that my iCloud will not correctly sign in. When going to Preferences>iCloud the screen is greyed out and I can not change any settings. As prompted at the top of the screen I enter my password to verify my id. I do this and press enter and nothing happens. I have then tried logging out, which seems successful at first, but if i try to log back in it says 'Can not log back in at this time'. If I then leave system preference and reopen it and go back to iCloud settings, I find that some how i am now logged in and the problem restarts with the greyed out screen.
The next problem is that when ever I restart my computer certain applications, when opened, return to where they were a couple of months ago. If I open safari several tabs reopen, and if I open lock lizard (a pdf viewer) certain documents open. Applications that i have removed from my dock even reappear in the dock. It is as if my hole computer jumps back to a certain point several months ago every time I restart my computer.
So these are the problems I am having, and so far the great google has not helped me. I hope I have not be vague.

This should fix the issue:
Special thanks to Roger Wilmut for providing the detailed instructions below.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/Roger%20Wilmut1
1. Shut down Mail. Next, deselect "iCloud Mail" in the iCloud preferences pane in System Preferences FIRST. If not, it will automatically pre-populate the wrong p9X.mail.me.com server names again overwriting all your work.
2. Now restart Mail and go to preferences. If "iCloud" mail is still showing, select it and click on the "-" at the bottom to remove it.
3. Now follow the instructions here:http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html (disregard that this is for Snow Leopard, it DOES work on Lion) paying attention to the use of the "option" key when needed to avoid Mail automatically "creating" the account and closing out the preferences window.
4. Ensure the correct server names of "imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com" are still there and close Mail preferences and now select "get mail". It may prompt one last time for your iCloud password, enter it and you are done.
Good Luck.

"Use iCloud" setting won't stay on for Pages

I am experiencing the same problem on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s. I am attempting to utilize Pages with iCloud. iCloud is functioning fine; calendar events are syncing across all events, backups are being made, etc.
However, I can turn "Use iCloud" on within Settings > Pages on BOTH devices. The option stays on, until I open Pages on that device. Then, it automatically reverts to off, whether I create or edit a document within Pages or not. I've tried every combination imaginable of killing both apps, enabling "Use iCloud," restarting device before launching Pages, etc. But the problem persists on both devices. Needless to say, nothing is syncing. I have "Documents & Data" on within iCloud settings.
Has anyone else seen this issue, or can anyone shed some light on it?
Thanks for reading.

Solution found. I apologize for creating this trhead. Didn't see this solution until "More like this" displayed while re-reading my question.

IPod Nano won't stay mounted

Hi this is my first post and hope someone can help. My problem is that when I attach my nano to my computer it will mount on the desktop, open iTunes check and see that it is update, which it is and then it umounts from the desktop within a few seconds. It remains in the iTunes window so I can access the nano preferences but then when I hit apply it searches for the nano and since it is not on the desktop says it can not find it. The iPod is not in the finder window but shows up in the system profiler as being attached to the USB. I am up to date on iTunes and the nano updater says it is up to date running 2006-06-28. I have tried everything such as restarting, using different USB ports, etc... to no avail. When I run the updater it stays mounted on the desktop but I can not acces the preferences. I really need to change my nano preferences as it will not update my new playlists because prefs, are set to update only the checked ones and I can not changes this and apply it if the nano won't stay mounted. Can anyone help? Much thanks

This happened to me when using iTunes 6. Is that the version you are using? I was never able to find a complete answer to the "Preferences not saved" error or any knowledge base articles with an official explanation. I did however find a workaround in a previous discussion. Connect your iPod and in the short time that it is still visible on the desktop just as iTunes is opening, go to Preferences>iPod and tick "enable disk use". You have to be quick but it can be done. Once it is enabled you will be able to go back and update the preferences such as manual update etc. and and you'll not get the error.
If you are using iTunes 7 try the same technique only tick "enable disk use" in the Summary tab before your iPod unmounts.

Outlook and iCloud won't sync since Windows 8.1 upgrade

So I've finally figured out my problem, but have no solution. The problem is that ever since I upgraded to Windows 8.1, Outlook "forgets" that the iCloud add-in is enabled. Every time I start Outlook, I have to manually go into options and re-enable the add-in. After that, syncing calendars and contacts to iCloud and my iPhone works just fine. In order to fix this, I figured out that I can set Outlook to run as an administrator. Works perfectly, as in now having the add-in enabled automatically. I thought this was the end of my troubles, but now Outlook no longer syncs with iCloud. Tried everything, and it just won't.I read on another thread that Outlook won't sync when you run it as an administrator. And sure enough, switching back to NOT running it as an administrator fixed the problem, in that it now syncs again. However, I'm stuck with re-enabling the add-in every time I start Outlook. Is there no other way to do this?

I don't use playlists. Maybe as a workaround you could try music software other than Windows Media Player, like Media Monkey
http://www.mediamonkey.com/
And see if you have better luck.
The free version of Mediamonkey should do playlists for you; what you get with the Gold (paid) version, mostly, is an mp3 ripper, but you can also install an mp3 ripper without buying it.

When I boot up my Mac, Messages opens automatically. I quit the app, but it just re-opens itself. It won't stay off!!! I can't figure out what's wrong with it!

For the past few months, my Mac has been acting weird. EVERY time I boot up the computer, Messages opens automaticallly (I am runing OS X 10.8.x). I quit the app, but it just re-opens a few seconds later! It just won't stay off! I've looked it up online and nothing helps. I have no idea what to do!!!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Folders in Files Panel won't stay collapsed

There are 2 folders in my Files Panel which won't stay collapsed. When I open Dreamweaver, they are expanded. If I click the arrow next to them a few times they will eventually collapse, but then as soon as I open any other file or folder they re-expand themselves. This first started back when I was using Dreamweaver CS5 with one folder which refused to collapse. A year later, I had updated to Dreamweaver CS6, and now had 2 folders which wouldn't stay collapsed. This morning I updated to Dreamweaver CC, and the same 2 folders still won't stay collapsed!
I searched the forum and found people with the same issue going back to 2007, but have yet to find any solution. A few people recommended editing the Windows Registry - but I'm using the Mac version. Several people said that they had some luck completely deleting the site settings and re-creating it - but that seems a bit extreme, plus several people said that it just started happening again later with another folder!
Does anyone have a permanent solution??
Here are a few of the other posts regarding this issue:

Also - just as an FYI. If I rename the folder, it stops happening. I can close and restart Dreamweaver and it stays collapsed. But, as soon as I rename the folder back - even if I do so after closing and reopening the program - it starts doing it again!!
Not sure if this is related either - but I saw in someone else's post that setting Related Files to Automatically, instead of Manual, fixed the problem. I did try this, to no avail. I even tried many times to turn off Related Files (by unchecking the Enable Related Files box in Preferences) but it keeps re-enabling itself!

As Jon Suggested , try rebuilding the site Cache
Allow me to Quote another DW user
First let me add here that I did find that when I upgraded to the new Creative Cloud version of DW and it imported my 12.0 site settings, the problem followed those settings into the 13.0 version.
Im on a Mac so these instructions would need to be taylored to the PC in regards to the location of the file referenced. And I am not sure if it's even the same file on the PC. So I can only speak for my experience on the Mac.
I've fixed my 12.0 version and my 13.0 version this way.
It was a corrupted "Site Prefs" file. I tried to fix it, but the entries where so mixed up that there was no way that was going to work. So I deleted the "Site Prefs" file and let DW recreate it.
In order to recreate the Site Prefs file, it meant loosing all of my site settings.
To make things less painful...
Open DW and go to Manage Sites. Select all sites and do an export of all .ste files, with passwords and user names, into a temperary folder and close DW.
Now find file folder called "12.0" or 13.0" in the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/12.0 (13.0 for the cloud version)/Sites/ and rename it to "12.0_old" or whatever. (Note: you may need to Option-click the Go Menu in the Finder in order to get the Library choice to appear).
Reopen DW and it will recreate a new blank "Site Prefs" file. Go to "Manage Sites..." and click on "Import Site". Select all of the .ste files and import them.
DW will update the site's cache the first time you open each site and it might also ask you to give permission to access the password stored in you keychain. Choose "Always Allow" for each one.
That's it. Now my corrupted folder doesn't pop open every time I click on another folder.
Mac OS 10.7.5
DW CS6 (12.0 build 5861) &/or DW CC (13.0 build 6391)
As I said, this worked great for me. But use these steps at your own discretion.

Websites that use java are not working. In the Java control panel, under advanced, default java for browsers "mozilla family" won't stay clicked

I've recently gotten a new Windows 8 computer. Ever since, I've tried accessing certain websites (like www.cnet.com) and can't get the java scripts to load like for the drop down menus. When I hover over them they don't do anything. Other computers I have that run Windows 7 are working just fine.
I've upgraded Firefox and Java to all of the newest versions but it's still not working. When I go to the Java control panel, under "Advanced" and under "Default Java for browsers", the check box next to "Mozilla family" won't stay checked. I'll check it, click "Apply" and "Ok" and then when I open it back up it's unchecked again.

I have in stalled maverick on my iMac and now my contacts won't stay open..... any fixes?

Try restarting first. This fixes a lot of issues after installing Mavericks.
If you have an iCloud account, you might want to uncheck Contacts in System Preferences > iCloud. Does contacts open now? If it's Gmail, Yahoo or other account that syncs contacts, uncheck in System Preferences > Internet Accounts.

Do you gotta plug up your iPod 5 gen while it's updatting to ios8? Because I updated mine and it won't stay charged plus it's losing battery life very fast.

You have not provided enough info to really help. How fast is fast?
What shows it will not stay charged?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Wiat for an iOS udate since may be bug in iOS 8

Reminders Info Window Won't Stay Open

Reminder info (location, date, time) won't stay open long enough for me to input location. Winndow fades away before it can search for a location i.e. trying to input Airport but fades before I can enter airport name.

I have given up. Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 times to open the window before I can complete my short entry. I think it definetely has to do with syncing and iCloud. I wish there was a way to setup the frequency of syncs or something.
I have resorted to using notes. It syncs with iCloud, but doesn't seem to show the same quirky behavior
Reminders is SO frustrating to use on any level. It is half baked IMO, this issue, can't sort the lists, can't do a delete all for completed items.

Mail icon won't stay in dock

Recently my mail icon removed itself from the dock. It may be a sync issue because it started when I began using my second laptop and trying to use the iCloud/mobile me sync.
My mail wasn't on the dock in #2 when I started it. I went through and tried to make everything equal to machine 1 but some programs are not the same. The next time I started machine 1, all of the dock items were equal to 2 so I reset the dock items on 1. When I went back to 2 they had reverted again.
Now my mail icon won't stay put on 1. It was removed (mysteriously) from the dock. Now when I put it back, it disappears within a few seconds. If I open mail and then click on "keep in dock" and close mail, it disappears, too.
I have reset my sync data to replace mobile me with info from machine 1. No luck.

I seem to have resolved the issue by moving mail from the applications folder to the desktop. Then dragged mail from desktop to the dock. It seems to have stayed in the dock.
I moved mail from the desktop back to the applications folder and all seems fine now.
I am going to leave the "sync dock, sync widgets" options off.

Reminders won't stay set, say null or disappear

I am unable to get reminder app to work right anymore. As soon as I set a reminder the time date set either disappear or say (null) immediately. I have followed suggestions I have read on here and tried many things I hoped would work. Is anyone else still having this problem, I welcome any suggestions new or old, at this point I will try anything. (I have tried with and without icloud turned on), it does it either way. Thanks in advance for any replies.

it keeps reverting back to New York time and won't stay on eastern time
ahh..... New York is in the Eastern Time Zone so they ARE the same!

My Adobe Flash Player won't stay installed.

Flash player just WON'T stay install. This has been happening for a while, but today alone I've had to re-install it 10 times. After about an hour or less everything just says "Plug-in Failure". I'm not sure what's happening...how do I fix this?

Use iCloud will not stay set to on in pages on my iPad mini

I cannot get the iCloud setting for pages to stay set to 'on'. It keeps resetting itself to "off". I have verified the wi-if connection, the account settings, checked for updates, confirmed sufficient storage space, and everything else I could think of. I also checked the settings in safari on my MacBook Pro.
Has anyone else run into this? It is very frustrating.

Problem solved! See Re: "Use iCloud" Pages/Numbers option won't stay turned on
