New iPhone 5 iCloud setting greyed out

In settings on my new iPhone 5 the iCloud option is greyed out. How do I make it available?

Thanks very much, that's great!
I wonder why the Restrictions on my old iPhone 4 don't prevent access to iCloud. Mysterious.

New iphone - restore paused, itunes greyed out

Ok, so my old iphone 5 died today - i backed everything up on to my icloud when plugged in to computer.
went straight to store, got a new phone
stayed in store until apps started downloading, genius said i could leave as everything seemed to be downloading fine.
got home, and they looked like they had paused, Initially I thought it was just because I had lost connection... So i restored everything again and the same thing has happened.
Most of my apps have paused downloading, and most of my itunes songs are greyed out???!!!!
So, I have done the whole on off, hard reset... and settings thing...
log out and back in via 'itunes & App stores' my ID is correct email
BUT when i go to try the same in 'icloud settings' it brings up my old Apple ID email address, and the fields to change your email are blanked out so the old email wont budge!!!!!!?????
everywhere else my details are my new email address - work fine to download etc.
I have contacted apple support chat people, they took my through support online - outcome 'book a phone call' only slot they have in at 2.15AM!!!!! in 10 days time??!!!!!! I had to drive over an hour to store today, and i wont be doing that again!
Please help! I will be sooooooo grateful!!!

Thanks very much, that's great!

To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID. If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account. If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

I just got a new iPhone and i set up iCloud on my girlfriend's account. To change it on settings it says delete account. Will this delete her all her data and back up data for iCloud on her iPhone and iPad?

Delete the account on your phone. This will not delete any data on her phone or iPad, or data stored in iCloud.

What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.

If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

I have this exact same issue. Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud. This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation). How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back? I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

How do I turn off pop-up blocker on new iPad if it is "greyed out" in safari settings?

How do I turn off pop-up blocker on new iPad if it is "greyed out" in safari settings?

'''Diego Victor''', this is for Firefox on Android. The Tools->Options is for Firefox on Windows only.
I think the only way still that you can turn of popup blocker on Android version is in '''about:config'''
Try this.
Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and filter for '''dom.disable_open_during_load''' and set it to '''false'''.
After you are done you should enable the popup blocker again.

I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the memory? Will that affect iCloud? Sorry for the end-user questions!!

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

I have recently purchased the highest storage but was unable to backup my phone via icloud, the button on my mphone to backup on icloud is grey out, anyone knows how to resolve the problem? What's the point of purchasing the biggest storage?

First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

"gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

I just bought an iPhone5
To ensure my old iPhon4 was backed up i...
1. Deleted the iPhone4 backup from iTunes prefs(devices)
2. I then sycnched the iPhone4 to get a new backup of the old Phone.
I then installed my new iPhone5 from the fresh backup of the old iPhone4
This way i got my new iPhone5 exactly as my old iPhone4
Screens all looked the same, EVERYTHING the same.
Some minor adjustments were needed afterwards.
Hope this helps.

HT1688 We bought the new iphone 5s when they came out from at&t and my dad has completely shut off and won't do anything? It has not been in ANY water or anything else that could have caused this

Try to reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
