My iCloud is shadowed in grey in settings

My iCloud is normally in bold print but is now shadowed in a grey along with my FaceTime, Facebook, Twitter, also Im downloading my music through wifi,but the clour too download all is disappearing on all artist and once downloaded they are turning back too clouds to be redownload, it's causeing my data too go high.

You'd have to go into the various apps on a device that is also stored on iCloud and begin trimming files.
Backups:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud. Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data. Then delete the backup. That will free up space. Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn
Emails:
Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device. That can also save a lot of space.

Help! Upload 8.1 on my iPad 2 and now I can't get any wifi nor can I reset any settings. When I try to go on my iCloud it is all greyed out and no longer recognizes my password.

I also can't turn off "Find my iPad" on iTunes in order to do a restore.

Try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10 seconds. After the iPad restarts, see if you can get into your settings.

ICloud and Twitter are greyed out in Systems. Can't access them.

Why are my iCloud and Twitter icons greyed out in Systems?
Found the answer.

A little more info is needed. How are you trying to access iCloud (via contacts, calendar, mail app)? Also check Settings>Restrictions. Not sure if turning it on would cause this, but check to be sure its not turned on.

Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I can't access iCloud. Tells me to check settings but when I do I can't find the the problem. Any thoughts please?

I import photos to iCloud. Tells me to check settings but when I do I can't find the problem.

I've not experienced this, but a few other people have reported the same.
I don't know what the issue is, but try changing your DNS server settings to use Google's DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in either your router settings or your computers internet settings.
(Incidentally, you can't access iCloud.com from an iOS device).

Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.

Cannot get mail using iCloud. Says no password provided for iCloud, to go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password, even though I've already done this. Very odd.

I doubt you are doing anything wrong. First day glitches
Reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Make sure you have Mail selected here > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Settings - iCloud - Apple ID is greyed?

Background: Newly I changed my Apple-ID from one name to an other. When I then used app store in my iPhone it did not work. After changeing the apple-id in settings - shop it worked again.
Here is the problem: How do I change the apple-id for iCloud? When I try to change it, the old apple-id shows up in grey text as is impossible to change. The password however, still works to change. The only way to move forward is to tap "ok", and a message "wrong id or password" appears.
How to fix this "little" problem? (fact: I really need to sync the calenders so I know what to do and when....)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

Can't access Icloud seetings, it appears grey!!

Hi There,
I just got iPhone 4S 16GB and I can't access iCloud (and Twitter) tabs in Settings -- they appear grey, and inactive. Therefore, I can't change any setting for iCloud syncing, I created Icloud account on web but still not working on my phone. Can someone help please!!!

Look in Settings>General>Restrictions. If they are on, then that would explain the grayed out icons. Turn restrictions off.

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

I never said that there was, perhaps you imagined it.

I set up iCloud on pc, ipad etc was asked to copy contacts to iCloud and have lost all the settings and groups that they were in for over 2000. Can I get it back?

I have Outlook on my PC and thought it would be smart to have my contact in the Clouds where my ipad, work pc, home pc would be updated etc. So I was asked I though to copy my contacts from Outlook to iCloud. Instead it moved them and in doing so lost all the settings like Categories and reset how they are listed (used first name because have a lot of drs, phds, msws etc) now listed with last name and so I have a lot of people with md as last name. This is an organization list and is about 2000 contacts so having to go back and fix it will be a nightmare and unnecessary work.
Is there any way I can fix this easily instead of correcting each contact one at a time?
Thanks.

Restore your backup.

I open the ipad and get the icloud symbol. it says ignore or settings. no matter what i hit nothing happens. HELP

I am having problems with my new ipad. when I open it I get the icloud backup symbol. it says ignor or settings. But no matter what button I hit ---its frozen. nothing happens and I cannot get out of this. I cannot open it to anything??? HELP

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

I'm trying to back my phone with iCloud but the message "you can not delete your icloud account because your iPhone is being restored" appears under storage and back up then when I click on storage and back up the icloud back up is grey so I can't clickit

Need help with backing up on icloud. It's just grey the and can't click it.

Sorry, I was gone for a while. The reason I asked is that many employers will push a restriction to the phone to prevent it from backing up to iCloud.
The only time I've seen this before it was the result of a server issue at Apple's end, and would normally clear up on it's own in 3-5 days. If you can't wait, you'll probably have to contact Apple support for help with this: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.
