IPad won't backup and I can't select iCloud under settings

iPad keeps saying it hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks and pushing the home and power key until the apple appears isn't working. When I go to settings and try to select iCloud, it is light grey and I can't select it. Please help. Thanks

    I'm trying to update to ios6 with my ipad 2, and it won't let me update because i can't create a backup. How can i fix this problem?

    It says the the backup could not happen because the it was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.

  • My ipad won't charge and I can't do a hard reboot

    My iPad died while while I was using it. I tried charging it overnight but it wouldn't charge at all. I tried doing a hard reboot but that didn't work either. The screen just goes between the apple logo or the battery with two red lines on it. What can I do?

  • My default downloads folder is on my server at work, so when I'm at home the downloads window won't open and I can't change my download settings.

    I've tried resetting my downloads folder to default, but it just goes back to the downloads folder on my work server that I won't be able to connect to until next month. When I try to select a different download folder, the "browse" button doesn't work. I've also tried selecting the option to ask me where to save each time, but nothing pops up when I try to save something.

    hey jessicats86, please enter '''about:config''' into the locationbar of the browser (you might have to confirm the info message in case it shows up) and search for the preferences named '''browser.download.dir''' & '''browser.download.lastDir'''. right-click each of them and reset the value to the default. then restart firefox and try to set the download folder again in the options panel.

  • How can I buy more iCloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed

    How can I buy more icloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed.  I cannot press settings or close and cannot even turn off?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • HT1212 I forgot my passcode and i have no backup of my Ipad, it is locked and disabled, can anyone help to restore factory settings atleast as a new ipad

    I forgot my passcode and i have no backup of my Ipad, it is locked and disabled, can anyone help to restore factory settings atleast as a new ipad

    Hey salosawaya,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • HT201269 Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

    Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

    - The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
    - What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

  • IPad won't backup. It keeps getting stuck

    My iPad won't backup on iTunes on my computer. It used to work fine then one day it stopped. It starts backing up and it barely does anything then it freezes. The bar won't move any more, even if I leave it for like an hour. iTunes still goes to different pages, but it won't backup anymore. Then when I cancel the backup, my iPad stops doing it but the iTunes backup bar stays there and iTunes won't close unless I restart my computer. I do have the latest version of iTunes.
    What should I do? I can't just NOT back it up.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
